Wow. Wow. Wow. Why did they discontinue it is my question? Shot cycle is number 1 in my books. Above the TX200, 98, 95…it’s almost like I’m shooting a PCP. It’s a heavy rifle though; it’s the heaviest springer I’ve ever shot and yeah it‘s heavier than the TX200. Trigger is super light, but the travel is longer than I’d prefer. Not as good as a TX or rekord trigger, but it’s close enough. Also, it is very quiet…at exactly 13.0 foot pounds it kicks less than my TX200 tuned at 12.5 FPE. It also kicks less than my 12.9 foot pound BSA Lightning XL…a lot less. It’s a night and day difference.
Accuracy is great at 25 yards but unfortunately it was not a fair test as there was a lot of wind at the range today as well as it was very cold. Also, my fingers were freezing and I was shaking like a madman because wind+cold=frozen fingers.
Some may know this and some may not…but the cold and spring-piston rifles don’t mix well. My tests with my other springers were all done during the summer time…so it might take time for the updated accuracy results. I’m in Cali…hopefully one of these weeks it will be warm enough to get a fair result
Stock feels great, but not as nice looking as a TX stock. Ergonomically speaking…it is better fitting.
Chrony 6 shots:

Thus far…all I can say is that I’m annoyed they discontinued the springer line. I wanted to give an LGV Master a go too.
You may be able to tell…the bluing on the barrel is gone because I stripped it. Bought this rifle for a fair price, and that barrel bluing is next in line for repair. I had to also polish the piston myself and as you can see it is polished fairly well (you can see my fingers in the reflection so it’s a mirror polish)…oh I forgot to mention…disassembling is very easy. Matter of fact, it is the easiest disassembly process in any springer I’ve ever owned.
