I'm taking to it,the build quality is very good
and as I say,they are as powerfull as anything else
on the market (within the 12 ft1b limit) this one is certainly above 11 and a half,and very accurate,
going by the grouping.
A good gun,with no hidden rubbishy bits
solid,and the trigger is it's only achilles heel,
just a bit on the heavy side,but usable.
The breech locks up with a healthy clunk.
If you want to know where I got it,and the deal I got
for a full kit,
pm me.

You are quite correct about comments from shooters who have no experience of the gun or guns in question. Usually the worthless comments are about Chinese guns with Spanish stuff running a close second. There are various Chinese and Spanish models that can be fettled without breaking the bank into something that will match any British or German gun in performance. You will note I said performance only, both types of gun do not have the same build quality as their competitors, however, that is changing especially with the Chinese models. I have worked on the SMKXs38 and various Gamo underlevers and was more than suprised at their performance on the range. It's just a matter of time until the Chinese produce a gun that will equal or exceed our better models at an affordable price.
