This was actually one of the first models I looked at for my first PCP, and one of the first to go out of stock everywhere I trusted, and then in the end, I ended up with a courtesy credit at Amazon, did a search, found a marketplace vendor with a brick and mortar store, called them, ordered it, it arrived yesterday.
I will admit there's something about the design of the stock that just (apparently the censor is a bit strange, so let's try "vaccumed") me in, and when I first shouldered it, it felt like it was made for me, the bolt was of course rough at first, but after 10 mags through it, it's smoothed out significantly, I can cycle it while holding position fairly easily now. I did find the schemo and see what might be cleaned up a bit to make it smoother still.
It was shipped with enough air to keep the valve sealed, had it pumped up in no time, got the new CVlife scope I bought for it mounted, zeroed in 6 shots, it now produces 3/8" groupings at 50' with JSB Match exact 15.89s, muzzle velocity is averaged at 920 with that pellet slightly slower than my Akela with the same round. But honestly I'd have to give this one a slight edge over the Akela in accuracy right now.
It's also a very quiet rifle, the pellet hitting the target is more pronounced than the report in my shop, and if I shoot out the shop door to my target in the garden (25 yards) you really don't even hear the rifle outside, just the pellet hitting the target.
In upcoming days, I'll get some serious testing done with the chrono and an assortment of pellets with down range readings.

target and chrono at 50', JSB Exact Jumbo 15.89gr, this thing has a bit of a punch to it.
the groupings are me and a bi-pod, I like a bag better with this one.
Pyramid Air listed this at 38fpe and the .25 40fpe which is why I went with the .22, more pellet availability.

So after a couple of sessions at the range at 25 and 40 yards, I decided to start tuning, did a bit of reading, there are roughly 16 turns stop to stop, the last 2.5 have 0 tension, from the factory it was 13 turns in. Since I could only go about a half turn CW, I decided to start the party at an additional turn CCW or 12 turns in from max tension. Fire up the chrono tomorrow and see what we see.
