Graeme, that is a cool looking rifle and looks to be of top-drawer quality.  It will be interesting to see how they perform.

I can see a gun like that really calling out for a nice walnut thumbhole or Tyrolean stock.

I have pretty much stopped buying airguns these days but I would make an exception for this rifle, cant wait to compare performance with my tuned TX's and HW's.

Not in the U.S. yet but,  it's nice to see an alternative to the 100's of gas piston clones of each other with no major differences in basic designs except for color of the plastic stocks and the number of picatinny rails!

Unfortunately, this new Walther has got to be $800 U.S., maybe more? Can't see many Gas piston and PCP guys buying into that!?

Never been a fan of gas rams, dont like them at all, if they were all that that the hype says then I am certain Walther would be using them, really isn't any improvement to be had in either accuracy or shot cycle when compared to a properly tuned spring action. Another benefit of a spring is that the fillings in your teeth remain in place.
