Yup that is a great deal on a hunting springer. Strange that it prefers non-lead pellets but a plus for some.

Wow! That is quite a deal ! Very tempting but I wish there were some reviews. Sure looks like the D34.

My arm feels sore just thinking about it. YO!

I looked at the reviews at the Airgun Depot site and they are close to a five star. As expected, the lower ratings were pretty much it's weight, cocking effort (which they don't list), and harsh firing characteristics. If AOA took PayPal I may have pulled the trigger.

PA lists cocking effort at FIFTY FIVE POUNDS. For reference a Crow Magnum (Theoben Eliminator) which is probably THE hardest to cock is SIXTY pounds and that BENCHMARK should tell you something. YO!

I had a .22 Crow Magnum III and it was a chore to cock. But is also put out 925 fps with 14.3 gr Crosman Premier pellets.

My new parrus is a bastard to cock. I have no idea how much wieght but the real issue is slapping the barrel open. It locks in super tight and after about 20 shots without gloves it feels like I just hi fived Andre the giant. I seriously broke a blood vessel doing it the other day. After awhile it should loosen up but really it's a statement of its quality. Should be easier after I put my ldc on it.

I had a 350 Magnum in .177 I gave to my son. Every pellet I shot in it that weighed less than 10 grains was supersonic. Too much gun for .177. The spring version has a very long power stroke. I did not like that. Cocking effort was not all that bad. Not for a child but clearly the rifle isn't intended to be a kids gun. If I were going to get one of those I think I'd want it in .25 cal. Still the N-Tec might be a pretty fine rifle to the right hunter.

I calculated shipping cost and it would be $38.19 Priority Mail. Not sure about tax but more than likely.

I have to say that AoA nowadays are A+++ in customer service and they even ship the guns with a 20 yard test target group provided and even do a crony string printout for all of the guns I recently purchased. I will DEFINITELY spend more money at AoA! YO!

I would suggest you try the 177 JSB Monsters original and redesigned and Beasts as well as the Seneca Eun Jin 16gr domes. You may be happily surprised! YO!
