With weather and work, I've got about 25 shots through this and loving it so far. In reading the manual, it says keep the gun lubed. It would be great to show some 'lube-points" but I dont see. The only thing I did straight outta box, is run a dry swab through barrel to get the 'black' out. So, where do I lube, and will PellGun oil work?

The only thing that needs some lube and most any will work, is the pivot points where the barrel meets the breach, and that is about it. You do not want lube of any kind getting into the compression chamber, and may have too much in there from manufacturing.

Don't go lubing in and around the piston or seal or that seal may well suffer big time - and in a very short time too.. I have a model 125 Sniper QE Vortex .22 too (shorter barrel model) and I had to ask in here about lubing because mine honked when cocking - still does, but then I have only put a couple of shots through it as it is hard to cock for me. As a builder by profession, I have torn/ripped both arms/shoulders and leg muscles on many occasions and my left cocking arm shoulder really has got a bit worse in the past few years. Cocking the 125 Sniper really puts that shoulder to the sword so I have to leave it out of the picture for now.. I should have realized that lubing around the piston is a No No on any air rifle of this power but I asked anyway, just in case there was some magic new lube out there just waiting to be discovered...
Lube in and around metal to metal joints or pivots as suggested above, and more times than not, only those accessible from the exterior of the rifle. Personally, I do not like lubing around the trigger mechanism either. That could be asking for trouble. Take care...

I use dry Moly powder for the piston seal, super slick and no issues.
