Look like there still is a bottle in the rear.
Not bad though if it have a external REG and easy to get to hammer, very interesting.

What's with all the hype? I don't get it.
A full size rifle with a short barrel. There's power left on the table. And not even semi auto despite the looks.
I much prefer bullpups. If I were to get something that long, it would be powerful and accurate past 100 yards.
It would cost twice as much, sure, but who skimps on pcp anyway?
Hate me all you want.

I've changed reg pressure before and hammer tension and it is very very easy to do so even though it's internal. Less than 5 min you can degas, change reg pressure and be filling again.

Depends on what power output you are wanting and distance shooting. This one is for about 50yds and in so I wanted the Short.

A 29" rifle is hardly a full size rifle especially shrouded. Most bullpups are longer than that these days, and then you need to add a moderator on alot of them. You can have your opinion and that's totally fine. I have had other guns costing more with way more power. This gun is made for a specific purpose and one that I needed filled.
I have bullpups too and are great. They fill a different purpose as well. Also if you want to pay more for something you go on ahead. I prefer best value for my dollar. If I only need a low power gun out to 50yds why spend more?

I'm just thinking that for the power you're getting out of it, You could have something a lot more compact.

I believe he was referring to the long version, which is 36.2inches long
without adding a moderator (zi know it's not what you got lol). Which I could understand his point, especially because for the length and power a Vixen long makes. You're better off getting a U2 600mm which with make 3 times the power the .22 makes and nearly 2.5 x the power the .177 makes while being shorter and not that much heavier.
He can make more power out of it, it just wouldn't get as many shots. You're also not gonna find a gun with the ergonomics or as nice of a trigger as you can get with the AGT for a lower price.

When I had the Jet2 the meisterkugeln where great in iguanas out to 25-30yds. Punching clean holes through the heads like holepunchers.

Power is highly over rated in our pesting situations. I primarily hunt pigeons, inside of barns, where they roost high up near the ceilings. Anything over 10 FPE will likely pass through the bird and also the barn's fiberglass roofing so we MUST be very cautious of our shot placements and the possibility of erroneous misses or we will lose our hunting permission. Three years ago the dairy farmer invested $900,000+ in new roofing and I don't want to be "that guy" who perforated his roofs.

Indeed, did that about 100 times on my Vulcan 3
but i am not buying a internal regulator rifle again.

I very rarely mess with a reg at all so doesn't bother me. This gun i wont touch as its exactly what i want. But I understand others that do.

I just can not keep my hands off it, but i can also at times shoot 4 different things in the span of a day.
So i might start off easy with a tin of 10 gr pellets, or two of different brand, so this require at least a couple of adjustments, then i might shoot a little 13 gr slugs before i turn to 16 gr slugs or maybe a tin of Beasts.
I have found the Huma regulator on my Two, it is quite temperamental, meaning you just have to look a bit more than sideways at it, and BAM you have adjusted 10 BAR where you only wanted to adjust 3-4-5 BAR, so it can take a few tries to hit what you was aiming for in regard to pressure.
