Sig Sauer MCX with Air Venturi HPA review

Just got this from AirgunDepot and they shipped fast and well packaged! Bravo..!
My informal non-pro review for the Sig Sauer MCX air rifle in .177.
1) Heavy gun, with my Primary Arms micro dot it's like 8lbs! The lower frame and barrel shroud all metal alloy, and the upper handguard rail, grip, buttstock, and fore grip is a hard plastic. Box says made in Japan, probably a Japanese air soft company manufactured the gun for Sig.
2) I got the Air Venturi small HPA bottle to convert the Sig 88gr co2 to pcp air. It works very well albeit LOUD..! Not backyard friendly. I've been shooting it indoors. Also, I had a Crosman Vigilante before this gun and did not like the way the co2 worked in the Vigilante, the first few shots were inconsistent before it settled down. This was one of the reasons to get the Sig because it could be PCP. And, the PCP in the Sig makes shots very consistent. You are suppose to get almost 250 shots on the single bottle..! It does make the LOP of the rifle a little longer but with the red dot the longer sight length didn't matter. If you try to use the stock sights it would be a tad long. Also, the slip on buttstock for the PCP bottle is a hard plastic so its very slippery on the shoulder. So I used some spray on Plasti-Dip in black color to rubberize it and give it grip to my shoulder. Also, since its a heavy gun I changed out the plastic pistol grip to one from ERGO for a more grippier texture and easier to open the bottom to store the Sig pellet tool.
3) To load you have to release the mag from the gun. You then open up a side door on the mag and pull out a chain type tracked belt. You place the tracked belt on a hard surface metal side down and start popping in your 30 pellets. Afterwards you go back again with the special Sig tool to insert them to a fixed depth. Then you load it back in the magazine with the metal part facing forward and tracked side facing you. A little bit of work but you have to remember its 30 shots continuous..! You load it back in the gun and then pull the charging handle and slide the safety to fire and go at it! I haven't have any jams yet either. Its been reliable and smooth.
4) I ordered the gun only with flip sights, they were not good for 5m shooting, they shot very low. I didn't try to adjust them for 5m and I wasn't used to the pot metal quality anyway. And, also, I wanted to use my spare Primary Arms red dot anyway. I do have a set of mil-spec Troy AR15 sights that will work with the my Primary Arms 1/3 co-witness red dot if needed but for right now I'll just use the red dot.
5) I did sight-in the red dot for 10m since the gun wasn't extremely powerful. I don't have a chrony but I think with my RWS Diablo pellets its around 500fps. But after a couple bench shots I think I have it as accurate as I can with a red dot.
6) My 10m shots on a bench, and I'm not the best shooter..! It is pretty accurate for a repeating air rifle when you consider the pellets are seated in a tracked magazine links. Also, the trigger is heavy but you can stage it. The first target is a 25ft bullseye target shot at 10m with 25 shots. Thru the 2moa red dot it covers the entire bull. The second target is a 15ft target shot at 10m with 3 shots per bull. I am pleased with the accuracy of this gun using pcp over co2..! The groups are impressive. Overall its a pretty accurate cheap semi-auto PCP rifle for short range fun.
