Hi Carlos , I am on my 2nd after wrongly selling the first one, genrally reliable
accuracy very good, its excellent value for the money, and reminds me of my
old fx-verminator but much cheaper, mine is also.177

My mate carl has one. Suffered with a barrel crown issue from new. Also suffered a leak off a copper pipe inside which looked like a 10yr old had fitted it. I have used his and really like it. Cant go wrong for the money.
I think you will find some love them and others hate them I did love them I brought a one when they came out loved it for the first day then it went back because it shot like a shotgun --got it back well happy three days later it leaked it went back three weeks later it was back and then a week after back it went again with a leak again so after telling the importers I wasn't happy about having a new gun repaired all the time what they going to do????? a month later after chasing them around they sent it back and said "it will never leak again"!!!!!! don't worry its all fixed ---yea right the same the next day it had drop half its air I got back onto them it went back and then back to me but when it came back it was sold on to a lad who was wanting one he new the history of it worked ok for a couple of months then yes it leaked he fixed it himself and I never herd if he still using it? But if I was looking for something again I would be looking for something different they also quite heavy for the size
Just a thought at mo, Have seen a few reviews and most seem happy, Maybe I'll just give some more thought, Just tempted at the moment, But thanks for your post,
The one - and only one - I handled had lots of sharp edges especially where the filler probe goes in, it would shave pieces off the O rings for a pastime. The club member who owns it is content to change O rings every week; I wouldn't be.

Had niggles with mine (.177) from new, shot poorly but sortied after a damn good rodding
Leaked air and sent it back. Turned out the buddy bottle wasn't screwed in far enough!
Since then it's great! As accurate as my regulated R-10 and I just love the looks. If you are a smaller frame you may find the length of pull too long. I sorted mine by modding the stock, there's a youtube video on how to do it.
Do it, you know you want to

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.....
Accuracy with mine is very good and it has been reliable, with no leaks. Trigger pull from the box was awful - it’s like an on/off switch, but can be adjusted to some degree and improved.
The seem very good value for what you get,
Bought mine when they first came out, still have it and love it. The trigger in mine was way too heavy at first but that was soon fixed. I've also removed the o ring from the barrel band after reading a thread on here about how this improves the accuracy and ability to hold zero. For the money I think they are superb.
Hi I have 2 both in .22 had them almost 2 years they both are very accurate and great reliable rifles my only issue is they both lose air over long periods of storage not fully but say down to 100 bar in a month then the last 100bar will last for months . I like them but don't use the 2nd one now as got the prad 008 on 1 as this scope is great for day and night unlike my old nitesite.

Great value PCP. There was a second hand one for sale on Sunday and if it available at the next Bisley fair in a few weeks, I might sneak it in
