I got this on Thursday and and got the scope mounted and started the break in process.
It's a under lever .177 cal and the chrono tape that came with it says it is running right around 820fps with a 8.5 grain pellet.
The stock is beech but the factory stain brought out the figure in the wood. We generally think of beech stocks as low grade and only fit for the cheapest guns since that is where we mostly see it but in Europe it is looked at differently.
I put a Vortex Diamond Back HP 3-12X42mm with side focus on it.
Since I plan on using this for pest control and Hunter Field target matches I will be changing the scope a little latter after I get it broke in and see what it is capable of.
To start out I got some Walmart Crossman pellets and sighted the scope in at 10m in my back yard. It will get stretched out to 50m after I find which pellets it prefers.
Right now it is shooting 1/4" 3 shot groups which isn't bad for a rifle that isn't broke in.
I was shooting off my deck using the rail as a rest. Unlike center fire rifles you need to hold a air rifle lightly and let it recoil with out interference holding it tight will cause it to throw shots.
Here's the sight in target with the last three in the tight group.
