Might just be one of my favorite Airguns in the budget category. For $250 can it get much better than this?

- Start date
Mine should show up on Wednesday. Picked one up to enjoy with 14.3gr CPDs in .22. Hoping for around 750 FPS.
Side lever on the left will not bother me I moved my Gamo Urban’s bolt handle to the left side. My Pulsar and Renegade have the lever on the right and I reach over with my left hand anyways to articulate them.
Will share some impressions after I get settled in.

I like! 14.3 CPHs at 770 FPS/19FPE out of the box. Super light airgun and extremely solid feeling. Very happy and about the length of my Renegade but a fraction of the weight. Easy to work the action and draws up to the shoulder nicely. The P-Rod has some competition!

Meant to add some cons — trigger is “snappy” and a little stiff. Brocock users can relate by thinking of the Brocock trigger (I had a Concept Lite and Commander before selling and moving to a Pulsar and Renegade) and then maybe add another 25% of the “stiff” feeling. It is almost like shooting a 1911 pistol from a trigger aspect. Stiff with little travel. I dont dislike it but coming from an electronic trigger or the long pull of a Urban it is different.
From an initial impression - this is a steal of a deal and I have no buyers remorse. I usually beat myself up or second guess but at $265 to my door from AGD I cannot complain. This is a very solid feeling PCP.
The suppressor works well, it is mouse fart quiet. I had to do zero tuning out of the box other than loosen the trigger pull a bit via the adjustable allen screw.

Got to plink a bit outside, I like! Put a lightweight CVLife scope on there. Assuming I do not have any issues this was a good buy. Quality fit and feel makes this a really solid feeling PCP nothing feels “cheap” or junky. All in all compared to my more expensive PCPs this is easily a 4.8 out of 5 stars gun!
Got the trigger adjusted some but it is still a bit stiff and hard to be dime-group accurate like I am used to with my Pulsar and Renegade electronic triggers. The trigger is not spongy and has a crisp break but it is just me being less accurate overcoming the trigger squeeze. All in all still not disappointed.

Just switched off a tree rat with one shot while it was on the run at 20 yards. Notos makes for a great rapid shot system for target acquisition in a hurry.
14.3 CPDs at 20 yards with a CVLife scope seen above. First pest down with the Notos.
