Although I guess having the long transfer port necessary on a piggy-back design will never make for an efficient springer. And the poor thing came out just when PCPs were sweeping the nation. If the trigger had been sorted and the weight problem addressed and a longer cocking lever fitted... The idea was great but came about 5 years too late. If it had used the Reckord trigger unit, even under license from HW it would have made a fantastic rifle even if it was a bit heavy.
