I'm EXTREMELY happy with my maximus. for an " entry level " pcp, it's really surpassed my expectations. granted, the finish isn't daystate, but, it doesn't cost as much as one, either. the gun can hold it's own on accuracy, and shot count is up there, considering the size of the air tube. I get 35 consistent shots, starting at 2,000 psi, using H&N hunter extremes, starting at 712, a high of 725, and finishing at 708, and an ending pressure of 1,000 psi. most of the shots are hovering around 719 - 723, with no shift in POI. no complaints here.
