I understand the Black Pepper version is no longer available from AOA?? I bought one as a gift for my father last year and liked it so much I obtained one for myself as well. It is the only springer I presently own and often choose it rather than my Taipan Vet or Marauder when merely seeking a relaxing shooting session. Topped with SWFA ss 12x and loves JSB 7.33 Exact RS's as much as Air Arms Falcons. Simple, accurate, and fun.
