And when will the Hawk be available?

What about the Windy City I have listed for sale. Shorter, lighter, sweet stock, side lever.

Great gun! Good purchase for someone

You can buy the Lynx cheaper from Aceros-de-Hispania.

Otherwise, Kral- and like Hatsan, chances are you're going to get a good piece of walnut. My Amazon-Special Hatsan 95QE came with a piece of walnut worthy of any $1000+ airgun.

Yes, that stock is beautiful. but it is a photo oop photo. Not what your gonna get. That is a VERY expensive piece of walnut!

112 left for a scope? They don't make good scopes for that kind of money.

Don't want to bust any bubbles here, but reality has to eek it's way in eventually.

I get stocks that beautiful all the time.

Hang on, I need to clarify something about the comment $112 left for a scope.
Of the 30+ ariguns I have, a couple have nice scopes. I am not afraid to do the "shuffle" and swap scopes around.
I am confident I can find a decent scope for this or another gun and swap them around, and I will be happy.
I have a gunstore in town that handles quality used scopes with a 30 day warranty. I have bought a used Hawke 3-9X40 AO from them for $69 and Hawke actually warrantied it with my sales receipt. (I was honest when I called).
I just picked up a "like new in box" Discovery 6-24x44 side focus IR with sun shade and covers / tools for less than that on the GTA classifieds.
My BSA 4-16X44 AO EYS is amazing and it was even less $ than that, again here on the GTA classifieds.
I still have 2 Kruger 3X9-32 AO new in the box from the old ebay "bulk buy" to fill the void on lesser guns until something better comes along.
Yeah, $112 for a decent scope is not too far of a reach if you ain't in a hurry and know where to look...

I guess our taste and eyes are different. I've never seen an amazing BSA optic of any kind. Not even a little impressed with such poor optics. But that is just me. I'm very picky when it comes to optics. Very!

This was my concern with Kral...

You guys should see how bad it is getting parts for Airguns up here. Crosman and FX are about the only two I can think of that I can pick up the phone and order parts for.

The Cream is slowly starting to rise to the top?
The market is slowly being carved up by Crosman (Gamo, Umarex) catering to the Big Box shoppers who just want a simple off the shelf BB or pellet gun.
FX (Daystate) for those who want and can afford the Bentley of air guns.

It will be interesting to see whom will be left in 3-5 years out.
Have no fear........The Bean Counters will sort it all out

Now I am wondering about a Walther Rotek... AoA has them for $599.

I was looking at the Rotek a few years ago - seems like a nice choice - PA staff seemed to like it. Some AG'er mention the action being like a Hammerli 850 CO2 rifle (with tuning mods), but that may not be a bad thing.

Edit:
I see $699.99 at PA, and the infamous "PRE-ORDER". But it also lists "Lifetime limited warranty".

If you want quiet, budget in a quality LDC. I've got one, and that pickle looking thing is just a barrel weight. It does have the 850 action, but I am okay with that. Makes magazines super cheap.

Ribbonstone · « **Reply #36 on:** August 07, 2019, 05:34:39 PM »

I thought of the Rotec as a choice. Trigger many not be up to the level some folks expect, and the bottle is on the small side (high pressure...but something like 200cc's?).

Kral's big 750cc bottle gun seems pretty large, in price range...some negative posts, some positives ones...can't think of any new bottle rifle in that price range that doesn't have the same +/- web-reputation.

USED....well...it's like a used car. Can get great ones or junkers….some sellers stand by their sales, others don't.

NEver paid much attention to bottle guns (even thought I do have a compressor)...am more of a "fill-shoot-fill-shoot" guy than a "fill-fill-shoot-shoot" guy.

As for the "cream floating to the top"...so do the "chunks" in a cesspool.

Gotta call you on that one...they have about as much in common as an aardvark and a zebra.
