Grip feels pencil thin, barrelweight is useless at 250gr?!, trigger adjustment is very limited and less than the Tau 7 etc
There are better buys out there for that money. (even a CO2 Tau 7)
I had an Alfa Proj CO2 which I bought from the factory for 1/3 of the UK RRP. I cut the barrel weight down, so no problem there. Had a PB of 95 and an average of almost 88 over 10 cards. (That was 10 years ago!!) I wouldn't buy at UK prices; they're way OTT.
You'd be better off with a good S/H Tau 7. There's nothing wrong with CO2 for club level and at 30 odd pence for a 12g cartridge for an evening's shooting, for me it's a no-brainer. When you can average over 90, maybe look at a premium PCP match pistol, but until then, not much point, apart from maybe the satisfaction of handling a fine piece of enginneering.
