I know there are higher quality Pcp-rifles. This one keeps drawing my attention. Why?
Talk me out of a Benjamin Gunnar.

I am not disagreeing with you. Even though I am a novice in the airgun world. Is there potential to tune this airgun? To maximize its potential?

Why spend time tuning when for a little more you can get a quality weapon that needs no tuning? Just MHO

I should rephrase my reply. Please elaborate. I have read every review and watched every YouTube review and demonstration multiple times.

jlk , I had one along w/ a Hatsan Factor. For the same $ , the Hatsan is much more gun. Carbon fiber tank , adjustable trigger , 3 position tranfer port & adjustable hammer spring and external reg adjustment. Lots more shots along w/ high capacity mags & single shot tray. My Brother bought the Gunnar , I don't miss it. Yes the Gunnar has a case & a 5 yr warranty. Oh, and a snap latch broke on the case ,,,, I'm still waiting on two replacements promised months ago .

I lusted after one when I first saw they were coming out. But at the price point, I held off. I think there a $500-600 PCP, and not the $900-$1000 price that they are.
There are Turkish guns just as good for less, and the Gunnar is a Turkish made PCP.

Turkish guns can be cool guns once you do some refinements. But none of them are $800+ cool. I’m not going to try to talk you out of it. I’m just going to say don’t do it.

Now that was an other gun that was supposed to make waves, so much chatter in pre-production,...now that they've been out a long time you hardly even hear anyone actually talking about them

I agree but it’s probably because most guys with a $1k gap on their credit card aren’t looking to buy a Turkish pcp. If they priced the gigantic thing where it should be, they would have sold enough that there would be forum chatter.

My thoughts exactly, I decided to up my game by just a few hundred more for the Brocock Concept XR and I'm glad I did.
I'm waiting for the Gunnar to become old stock and see how much the discount the price.

I have still been considering one myself. Nice to see I'm not the only one. I have the Benjamin Akela. It runs great. Hence why I am interested in the Gunnar.

I've shot one a few times they're not $900+ cool it seems to be accurate but I'd find a used raw for a little more and I think you'll like it better. Don't let me tell you what to do though!

I truly appreciate the input from all. It did not go unnoticed. A member here and I came to an agreement on a Benjamin Gunnar. And soon, I will have said airgun in my possession. Looking forward to some trigger time. MACTEN and I had many lengthy conversations. I believe he and I will have several more. I hope we have created an airgun bond. I requested some airgun mentoring. I truly hope his and everyone else here's knowledge will continue to help me through my pcp journey. Thank you all, and thank you MACTEN.

I have really enjoyed the Gunnar. Life has prevented the trigger time I would like. I have tested JSB 25.39, HADES, and JSB 33.95 Mk II. It prefers the MK II at 820 fps. I do have other projectiles in route for testing. Now to find the range time.
Finding the hold the Gunnar likes and working on my technique is the key. My last group has proven its potential. Targets at 30 yds. off bipod after finding how it likes to be held. Ran out of time to go 50 yds.
I want to thank the AGN group for all the information I have found here.
