Early Daystate Regal XL Christmas Present

Wife gave me my Regal XL[url="https://s19.postimg.org/c22fk3pep/DSC_0258_1024x685.jpg"][img]https://s19.postimg.org/c22fk3pep/DSC_0258_1024x685.jpg[/img][/url] early, so I could shoot before three days of rain. I mounted BKL rings and a Hawke Airmax 4-12X50 on it for the first test. I set targets at 40 yards, after getting it sighted in. The first 5 five shot groups ave .257. I couldn't believe how accurate it was. I used JSB 15.9 for the first five groups. I then tested JSB 18.13 and they shot just a little bigger. I couldn't save that target or measure, because it started raining and storming.
The rifle is amazing to say the lest. The only complaint is the cocking effort need to pull the bolt back. It started to get easier after fifty shots but it is still an effort to get it pulled back. I may put my Hawke Sidewinder 6.5-20X42 on it next week, when I test at fifty yards. The weight with the Airmax seems perfect to me. It doesn't seems to heavy and is easy to point and aim free standing. I did have a can set up at fifty yards and nailed it with first shot, while free standing in my garage. I was able to get fifty accurate shots before I had to refill. I am satisfied with the Regal but still wondering if I should have purchased the FX Streamline instead. I can't wait to hear a review on it. It has the side lever in stead of the bolt and they are known for their accuracy. It may be my next PCP. 
 
Scubajeeper I am fully aware of how exceptional the stock is. I had a sporting goods business for a third of my life. I held an FFL and sold many guns. I never had any stocks that compared to this stock. The closest one I had to this, was a B78 browning rifle. I wish I had never sold that gun. I can't believe they sold this to me and not charge a premium. Darren was my salesman and he is one of the nicest and most helpful representatives of AOA. He answered many questions I had and never lost his patience or had a lack of interest in helping me make a decision. I will always request Darren when ordering from AOA again, he is the best they have at AOA. He also does many videos shooting air guns on youtube for AOA.
 
douger I am going to order some of those JSB 14.35 on Monday. I thought I had some, but they were CHP. I plan to get another magazine and Napier pull through and Napier oil. Have any of you used the Napier pull through or the Otis pull through, I tried the weedwacker pull through and couldn't get it to go past the drinking straw that I put in the moderator.
 
For cleaning, I just tie a patch onto a piece of strong cotton twine (actually candle wick because I have lots), then hold the hose of a shop vac over the moderator as I guide the end of the twine near the breach. The vacuum sucks the twine right through and I can then pull it through by hand. For multiple patches, I just cut off the dirty patch and tie on a new one. Repeat until clean.
