Any interest in Kral air rifles?

[56S]

     Seems these are very hard to get in the US.  There is one terrible review of the older underlever and that's about all I can find.  I became made aware of their airgun line after buying one of their O/U shotguns.  My recent Kral purchase impressed me as a very good buy and wonder if their line of airguns are made with a similar attention to detail and quality as their shotguns.
     I noticed the N-08 underlever comes in either a spring or Nitro Piston.  As far as I know, the only underlever available from the factory with a NP.  ( Please correct me if I've overlooked some models )  I contacted TriStar Arms, the importers of Turkish shotguns asking if they's consider sneaking one of the N-08 NP models in with the next shipment of shotguns and at least they haven't said no.  I'd like to have some idea of the potential sales they might get should these airguns be decent shooters for the price.  Especially if they are anywhere close to the value my O/U was.

Thoughts?  Worthwhile or should I just go back to shooting my HW95 and mind my own business?

While I have not personally ever seen, held or shot a Kral, I am a firm believer that a competive market is best for the consumer.  If their line of airguns is indeed well built/priced, it SHOULD put pressure on competitors to increase the value of their offerings or potentially loose their corner of the market.  Just my 2 cents....

Hi
I handled the Kral line of air rifles at shot show.
They make springers and pcps.
They felt well made, shouldered great and just seem to feel well balanced.
Not sure when they will be available in the US market
Heard rumors of June or July but who knows.
Hope this helps

As I remember a couple of years back Rick Eutsler on Airgun Web reviewed a Kral , I'm not sure if the front sights fell of or the underlever mechanism was iffy..however he paid about $80 for it and said overall it was very poor..

I'm interested in their Pucher.  Seems similar to an AT44 with a power adjuster.  Here's an in depth review.  The groups are not that impressive but he shot the 50 and 70 meter groups on full power which was pretty hot.  The valves on these things are outstanding, the ES is better than most regulated guns. A regulated version is available but with the type of consistency of the unregulated gun it's not needed.
