Fedex brought it today and I just spent a couple hours wringing it out. The short story is that it is awesome and Powerful!
It is totally stock out of the box except for adding my donnyFL Sumo moderator. I also bought the Ring Lock orifice kit and started with the smallest hole to see how quiet the Sumo would be. I then brought the power spring up to 1/2 way and shot it with 3000 PSI in the tank. I turns out that the Sumo quiets it down so I am currently using the biggest orifice and the power spring is at 1/2 power and it is still quiet enough to shoot in the yard. It sure packs a wallop when it hits the target though!
I only shot it at 25 yards using a Bushnell TRS25 red dot. I was shooting at a three inch bullseye at 25yards and using JSB King Heavy 33gn, H&N Predator 25 gn , and, because the internet world says this pistol loves them, I tried Benjamin 25gn pellets from the toneou cover of my pickup.
After I got everything zeroed in, I was able to shoot both the JSB's and Benjamins in a ragged hole of 1/2 inch. I shot three Benjamins standing with the bottle touching my cheek and both arms pressed against my body and was able to shoot a 1 1/2 inch group! Not bad for an old man.
I plan to change the trigger as, while ok, there is a smoother one out there that I don't have to work on. I also have to decide what kind of shoulder rest to get as these things definitely hold differently. I may get a lite 4 power scope for it, if one exists but that is about all the mods it needs. I am one happy camper with this rifle.
