I can add my input but I did not have my .22 priest for a year, maybe 8 months. Overall the gun was very solid, loud as hell without a moderator. Accuracy was pretty good. Did not try every single pellet under the sun; just the usual JSB, crossman and a few H&N. Trigger was a soft 1st stage and a pretty clean and predictable 2nd stage. Gun had a lot going for it, being compact, rugged, ability to shoot arrows and change calibers. Cocking the gun wasn't bad, you can quickly adjust to it enabling you to shoot fast, not the smoothest but again not bad at all, far from it. The one annoying thing was the regulator sound after a shot, like a squeeling pig. Overall a good gun with alot of pros and potential.
