Rich, congratulations on a great new PCP! I really like Katran's offerings. I hope you do a review on it.

Hoping to get started today sighting in and putting it thru it's paces...one item I really like is the magazine is below the scope rail. Very clever on Airmaks part.

Congrats on the new rifle. I’ve got a Caiman X & love it. Can’t wait to see a review.

Did the sight-in at 25 yards...4 shots to get in the bull and a 5 shot group was 3/8" Ctr To Ctr.  I checked the trigger pull and it was 2.9 OZ ...waaaay to light....I'm going to change that to at least 12 OZ.
Found a loose screw on the fore grip...but it will not tighten up because there is only one screw at the receiver end...so Ill fix that with a cabinet door bumper !/4" Dia glued at the front end.
There are excellent  directions for adjusting trigger, hammer spring etc...some available online from AirMaks. I'll post some examples. Anything that needs adjusting is covered.
