199.00 shipped with prime... and if ya sign up and are approved for their card they discount it... I got it 60.oo off that and used a 25 gift card... I need it like a hole in my head but should be a great beater pester :) it gets great reviews by most... anyhow I could not resist a 130.00 pcp 10 shot repeater and btw it has a moderator on it that works ok even :) it is also hand pump friendly. Check it out and the reviews on youtube etc
 
Oh and I believe it is made in England in partnership with BSA... mine is do here sometime today :D
 
well shortly after I posted this morning ups updated the tracking to show they sent my package on a sight seeing foray... not too far but it pushes delivery back a bit :(
 
I did get I yesterday.. the box was a bit rough but the inner box n contents seem fine. My first impressions are pretty good overall. She is quieter with a pellet actually being used vs a dry fire :) at least to my ears. I still think its ugly but the stock fits and feels great. She is light n handy. The trigger has a bit more travel than I like but it will be serviceable- it is adjustable I believe and will have to play with it. I intend on someday taking the muzzle device off and making or buying a shroud type-maybe even shortening the barrel but in reality she is growing on me :) I will have to put a scope or dot on her and find a fitting to adapt the fill probe but I don't see anything much to take away from the excitement of a sub 200.00 10 shot pcp bolt gun :D It does not have to be my "dream gun" to be usable and fun!
 
Sweet:) I remember when pcp guns were priced so high, they were almost lottery guns. You'll have to keep us posted with how it shoots.
 
good squirrel rifle,for sure.
Try running a straightened coat hanger with a small piece of duct tape over the end (like a muzzleloader ramrod) thru the barrel.
Just that little bit of tape is enough to clean out any small burs,and remove any tooling residue from the rifling.
Then shoot it....you'll be amazed out how much your groups tighten up.
I love the rifle.
Great pest control gun and the price can't be beat
 
Did a search, all I came up with was a Gamo Urban .22 for $299 with no Prime.

Care to share a link?

I just checked and apparently they are off sale now... it was up for a while- I know I procrastinated for a few days myself. all I see now is the 299 you mentioned.
they were showing at the 199 for at least a few days after I posted here... I was thinking of another.
 
I am waiting on foster adapter for the fill probe but I did mount a 4-12 bushnell and shot in my short range basement setting.... the first two shots went into the same hole- a good sign for sure moving the scope around a bit more than I wanted too but that may be the scope itself or the mounts I used- I will know more after a few fills I thingk and when I can stretch her legs a bit. :)
 
I've had one for about six months and love it. Spare magazines are on the pricey side ( $35 - $50 each ). There is a mod you can do for the trigger, you take out the 2.5mm x 8mm screw behind the trigger and replace it with a longer screw. Some have gone to a 2.5mm x 10mm but that was too long on mine and resulted in a hair trigger so I ground it down to 9mm long and it works great. You will have to play with the length and will want to blue loctite the threads. I have extra screws, if you PM me your address I'll send you a couple for free, just remember you will have to grind them down. There is also a replacement trigger made by "Charlie Da Tuna" - CDT that is supposed to be even better than the mod.

The "Pickle" on the end of the barrel is molded on and the barrel has splines so a lathe with a 4 jaw chuck is the best way to remove it without trashing the barrel. There is a lot of info on Gateway To Airguns Forum on how members have done theirs. Hope this helps.

I will see if I can get the screw locally first but THANKS! My first impressions are great on this thing- I would love to eventually remove the pickle and make a regular shroud but this thing so far is greal- I can stomach a 35.00 extra mag if I have to- the 50.00 is a bit much I think... I am pretty excited on this one- I lve my marauders but this is gonna be a beater for me :)
 
I saw another mod that I may end up doing which allows you to adjust the hammer spring without removing your stock. You have to drill a hole either in the end cap or your stock so you can fit the allen wrench in to adjust it. I have to take mine apart to figure out the proper alignment when I get some time. Not sure why Gamo didn't do that to begin with. Another guy drilled a hole in the plastic cap that covers your fill port so you swivel the cap to line the hole up with the port then insert your fill probe to fill your cylinder instead of taking in off. Might save having to replace the o-ring as often.
