Greetings and a brief synopsis

[Sailor Gerry]

I have re-joined the world of airguns after a 40 year absence, my first was a .22 break barrel target pistol, that i enjoyed for about a year, and then work got in the way.
Now I am older, and my taste has evolved I guess.
I see the value in something that can take down vermin in a humane manner, with rabbit and pheasant being quarry for the table.
Gamo made a nice beech stock, .22 break barrel, and I have one of them, that I need to change the trigger to the CDT version, and swap out the gas strut for the 45J version, both of which I have.
Then I fell for the PCP Kral Empire X, .25 version... I have a scope and a longer barrel, along with the big magazines ordered.
I have read most of the Kral posts on here, and that influenced my purchase, but am a little on the fence about tuning, as it works fine straight out of the box, but I do like to tinker.
There is a wealth of information and it seems some rather skilled and passionate posters frequent the site.
At best, I might be able to share my opinion on the 2 air rifles I own, with a few pictures, as we all like well setup rigs and shiny things.

It seems the Kral airguns do not get too much love.

I took mine out into the woods the other day and shot at a phone book, to familiarise myself with it until the scope arrives.

Without a moderator, it has a bark.

With one its ok, but not really stealth.

Few pics as I ran though the combinations of the barrel.

On the parts diagram, it shows a baffle in the shroud, but in reality, it was empty, which I find odd.

I ordered the 4" longer barrel so it does not touch, longer, but moderated and unshrouded, is how it will be setup to begin with...
