Close-up of it before (now) switching back to a longer bottle for use in my TEXtreme Bench-Rest Silhouette competitions (Slug Class).

Upon discovering she LOVES 16 grain H&N slugs at 868 FPS/26.8 FPE, I've mostly shot her at 100 yards in fascination that a .177 air rifle can average 1 MOA five-shot groups at 100. As excerpted from my testing notes-

8/6/24- Nine consecutive five-shot groups @ 100 yards with 16 gr H&N slugs averaged 1.04” center-to-center (1 MOA)!

FWIW, I've been pleasantly surprised by several Chinese airguns, and sorely disappointed with others. Some have almost unbelievable potentials (as above); others' best potentials are realized when employed as trot-line weights.

The thing I worry about is what tariffs will do to the prices of even non-Chinese rifles, the materials they use also comes from countries subject to tariffs. The hobby is expensive enough already.
