    I have no personal experience of these guns but they seem to represent excellent value for money and are loved by many. Enjoy.

    And welcome to the forum and the world of airgunning.

    Welcome, I don't suppose opinions matter now that you have the rifle.
    Get out and use it. Learn it and enjoy.

    Don’t worry about some one else’s opinion. You liked the look of it and bought it. As long as it’s comfortable to use, accurate and reliable, that’s all that matters.

    They are excellent value for money.
    I would sight it in at 150bar pressure, then fill it up and shoot a shot string firing every fifth pellet at a horizontal line. Take a note of how high or low each fifth shot is and your cylinder pressure.
    This will give you an indication of your sweet spot with out the need for a chronograph.

    Indeed that’s a great tip. As said by others, enjoy your rifle and I hope this is the start of many, many years of air rifle shooting.
