This thread ended up in the Chinese gate. I have looked at the Umarex page and it is a bit vague about what they actually produce apart from co2 powered classic replicas and they say they Are Europe's biggest importers of airguns. Then there is Umarex USA. I accept that it is a Chinese gun. So be it. The detailing on the metal work suggests that. Acceptable for a working gun but eye catching in its imperfections.I still hold the opinion that it is a second hand gun. I have not seen the salesman again since I took possession of it so have not been able to place that before him, if he even knows.I was a bit disgruntled with the rifle and took 10 days off sailing. Forgot the thing and put it down to a not very successful buy. It was a lot cheaper to decide I don't want a magnum springer than a troublesome expensive Diana.Anyway I do not care, used or not. The problem with the scope I now think was a manifestation of buyer remorse. I swapped the weaver type scope mounts around and got things lined up properly and behold the windage adjustment works fine.. Every thing else I have said about the rifle remains unchanged. The stock I have discovered is very good for a plastic one. The butt stock, being for the most part, solid plastic does not transmit action noise to the ear like a hollow one and the small hollow cheek rest part is comfortable. The whole stock although a little different is very good. The safety catch in front of the trigger is better than Gamo but took some getting used too.The whole rifle is a different shooting experience and takes a bit to learn. Especially the heavy trigger. I haven't found out how to adjust it as Rick Eusler says he did but I will find out.Now the telling part. After leaving the gun for a while I came back and picked it up. I wonder how this piece of junk goes. At 26 metres and rested on a door jamb I shot a 20 mm bull at 26 metres. Missed the whole A4 sheet of paper. Another shot and no hole in the paper. Not so! two holes in the dark dot that I could not see. It has consistently done that since then.This is good gun, just a little different. In view of my recent experience with a new Diana and reports I have read all I can say is that Diana needs to get real with prices snd quality because the value is just not there. And Gamo with their BSA Spitfire are on the same path.Well pleased so far. Now to take it rabbiting.
