Very nice shooter indead.
what are its specs..cal/fps etc.

I have had my new shooter for 2 weeks
and only been able to polish it so far
ordered a scope/bipod/spear mag/ tank
fill unit.
Everything arrived apart from the fill unit
Waited waited waited then gave them a call
and the prat told me they wont be in stock again
till after Xmas "didn't tell me that when I
placed the order.
Got me $ back and spent a few hours making one.
Should have done it in the first place.

I think we all struggle with... A.G.A.S.

Air Gun Acquisition Syndrome…

thanks roger, its a nice piece of eye candy for sure, althou i have to admit, i am a little disappointed with the finish on the shock. seems to me that they stained it, but forgot to put any sort of sealer coat on it... nothing a quick trip to the woodworking store wont fix.
my wife let me fire one round last night after dinner. and OH BOY is it loud!!! i wont be firing this in the backyard when we move to STL (in about 10-14 days). all other aspects of it are very impressive. cocking action is so smooth i was stunned. people have complained about the trigger, maybe i dont know any better, but it seemed fine to me. i'm honestly not a fan of iron sights on my rifles since i always use scopes (its an aesthetic thing). its a BIG rifle... but surprisingly light weight, my beeman rs-2 weighs more and is smaller.
it looks like rain here for the day or two, so i wont be shooting it to give any real impressions (good time to address the finish on the stock Laughing

)

Very nice piece indeed. Do tell how it performs once you get settled in.

Very nice!

When you're ready to take it apart, post up pictures and dimensions of parts so we can all figure out what can be used on other rifles! Naughty

stopped raining long enough yesterday for me to drive home and bring out the super streak. took about 25 shots to get the scope close using daisy .22 precision max wadcutters (i have 4 tins the wife bought for me at wally world) the gun seems to be pretty hold sensitive but even while figuring out hand placement, its obvious that its very accurate. i dont have a chrony yet, but from the sound of the impact on the target, it shoots much faster/harder than any of my other spring guns. for sh*ts and giggles, i decided to try one of the light weight alloy pellets that came with it.... BIG mistake.... broke the sound barrier and had the neighbor yelling over the fence. i managed to get off about 300 shots before i ran out of daylight and the wife came home. overall impression, this rifle is bound to become one of my favorites, and most likely my daily shooter. aside from (in my opinion) lackluster finish on the "hardwood" stock (cant find where it states what type of wood), this gun oozes quality. for a gun that shoots as hard as this, the cocking effort is unbelievably light. the trigger is a tad stiff but nothing that cant be gotten used to. the scope that came with it is top notch, and has a locking and resettable zero.
for $300 you get alot of quility

finally had a chance to see what this thing would do, after a couple thousand shots to let it settle down a bit.

this is a 5 shot string at 50 yards using crosman premiere hollow points, seated with my elbow resting on the railing of the deck. obviously the gun is more capable than i am, but i am still pleased with the group.

A dead can is a "good can"!

Can you do the cancan?

Do the pellets get trough, DR-36?
