UPS driver came a whole business day early and delivered this pup to me today.
First 177 bullpup in my stable and for the price I paid during Black Friday, if it continues to shoot as is, I think it was a steal.
I got it topped up with a Hawke 4-16x44 side focus mild dot scope and after zeroing, I'm able to easily and repeatedly hit a 1.5" spinner at 53 yards in 5 mph winds.
Against my better judgment, I opted to keep the original regulator for now. I figured I have a year under warranty with FX so if I develop a leak, the cocking arm pin falls out, or something else happens to it, it's under warranty and will be covered. I don't like to tinker with my airguns as much as some so I'd opt to send it out for repairs.
That being said, if I do develop issues with the regulator after a year when it's no longer in warranty, then the HUMA reg is going in.
Out of the box it's shooting the 10.34g JSB's at 922 fps.
The trigger needed a little work out of the box, but now it's great. Nowhere near as good as the Taipan trigger out of the box.
Pros: Laser accurate and it's not even broken in yet. Lots of shots per fill! I stopped counting. Looks great, relatively light.
Cons: Kinda loud! I ended up ordering the DonnyFL adapter for it so I can hook up the Tatsu to it. Trigger was OK but not great out of the box. The HST is glued on so any adjustments will likely require me to use a heatgun to break the seal.
More to come with this one.
