Wow, that's an awesome looking rifle! I'm a newbie here and just picked up a Repeater 400 (similar looking) at a flea marker on the 4th of July. I'll be anxious to crony it now that I have seen how hot yours is. Nice find!

They are great shooters, mine get right around 600 fps on "high" power. Selective power settings are a nice feature. You'll have to have wadcutters to feed from the magazine.

Will shoot a bit faster too.OK I have had some time today to get this thing figured out a bit and do some chrony testing. I found the "selective power" feature. It takes a bit of finesse to make it work but the difference between high and low power is about 90 fps when high is around 600 fps. I also tuned the power adjustment screw to maximum. I shot a 45 shot string over the chronograph and got an average of 581 fps, high 628 fps, low 514 fps. Gamo 15.4 grain flat nosed pellet. One shot exceeded 13 ft-lbs. Now I need to get it outdoors for some accuracy testing. I am duly impressed by this little air gun.
