Well, when I took it out of the box it really struck me about how nice it looked and how heavy it is. My 2 AEA's are both lighter with a scope than this is without a scope but this looks much nicer. But that is the only thing I don't like about this gun. I really like that you just open the chamber with the lever and you can slide the mag in and out without having to hold the lever and I love how easy it is to load the mag. I like the lever action much better than a bolt. I was really impressed with the trigger. It was the best I have felt in an air gun but I do not have any $1000. air guns. I was also very impressed with being able to easily tune it with the tuning wheel. I found the accuracy to be good for hunting as I have read but not for competition with the small sample of pellets I have. I cleaned it before mounting a scope and test firing it. I found it to be very quiet and though I could mount my DFL Koi on it, I don't really see a need for it. The shame is the only scope I had available for it at this time is all messed up from being on a magnum Gamo springer so I could not adjust the impact far enough down or to the left but it did give me a chance to shoot it and see some groups. The group on the upper right was just playing around trying to get used to the gun. The circled group was more serious but I pulled the first shot because of not being used to the light trigger. In the first group I had the tuning wheel set at medium power and for the second tighter group I had turned the wheel down 1 click. This was the first time I had shot it and I only had JSB 25.39 gr pellets and Hornets. I have read that the JSB MKII 33.95 pellets group the best and will be getting some as well as some AVS slugs when I can get a usable scope to put on it. Here is a picture of it next to my AEA HP MAX .30 Cal with a DFL Koi and playing around with some of the test shots using the cheap broke scope. I was actually aiming for the dot on the left but can't adjust the scope any more to be able to hit it.
