Finally got the filling issues worked out and had some time to fire a few rounds. The round balls are accurate and fairly powerful. I'll try to run some shots across the crony soon. First I ave to get a functional scope on top of her. A sling is in its future also. This is going to be a great hunting rifle.

 Definitely will be one heck of a hunter, the DS is still my favorite looking production BB, beaautiful rifle you have there.  J

Thank you sir.

A few notes of interest. To cock and load the rifle the safety must be off.

Is it loud...yes, for an air rifle. It is not hearing protection loud. My ears are fairly sensitive yet I had no issues going without earplugs after the first shot with them.

I love the recoil. That is the most interesting thing about this "air rifle".

[Rescue35]

This thing packs a punch. It knocked a clean round hole through a 2x4 and left one heck of a dent in the backstop. I even managed to find the ball.





Changing the fill system to the foster quick connect is very convenient.

I like it even more now. Shots 11 and 12 where checking impact at a longer range. At this point it is zeroed for 12 and 40 yards. I'm not messing with it for now...I want to get it in the field and see what it brings home.
