The 54 Airking is a heavy rifle especially for hunting. When I scoped it up with a Simmons 6-18x40AO Pro Air on one piece mount, the total weight was in excess of 11 lbs and that would be quite a lump on a hilly, rough terrain of a shoot to lug around. Static or hide shooting, well that would be a different matter !
Having said all that, I really liked the rifle, I really did and in many ways, I'm sad to have sold it.
If anyone out there would fancy a quality Germanic sidelever, then this is the one to try !

Maybe worth asking if the seller would be flexible on the price, Mike?
I know what you're saying re the 80 etc., but as they're plentiful they could easily be acquired later. And, if you got the Mistral and ever wanted to sell it (doubtful, methinks), it would be highly unlikely that you would lose money on it.
As long as it's okay.

The 54 Airking Semi Recoil less is a superb air rifle, heavy but still superb and if you have the stature and are not a southpaw, a terrific air rifle and well worth a try !
Should add, it really is very similar to shooting a PCP after the cocking procedure, a terrific piece of engineering !
