These are my first comments on the Sidewinder .30 Cal that I just received.

The rifle arrived filled at 250 bar and regulator set at about 149 bar.


The rifle feels really light.

My Daystate Wolverine HP. 25 Cal seem to be louder.


Total length is perfect for handling.


The ergonomics are the best I have seen in an air rifle (even better than the Uragan). The one who designed the ergonomics of this rifle is a genius.

The trigger has a long midle weight first stage and shot is not so predictable. But is not bad, you get use to it.


The Sidewinder has a safety/Semi/full auto selector and a safety in the right side above the trigger.

Magazine is all metal and very well designed.


With 12 pellets the rifle was dully zeroed.


At the end of this first zeroing 15 shots session I was able to hit a stone the size of a golf ball at 190 yards. The rifle seems to be really accurate and consistent.

Tomorrow I will make groups and I will measure fps.

I made some more shots.

The rifle is very accurate ...... BUT...... The weakness to achieve a really and absolute perfect accuracy is the trigger.

Taking into consideration what I have said above, the shots I made a moment ago at 83 yards compete face to face with all of my must accurate rifles.

If someone get to know how to include to this Sidewinder an electronic trigger, then, all our other PCP's will obtain an early retirement.

Here there are 9 shots at 83 yards.

Take into consideration that I AM NOT an extreme bench rest shooter. I have never used a bipod.

I made my adjustable rotating front rest and my bench.

So take into consideration that this 9 shot group could be much better if other person, not just a hunter like me should had pulled the trigger:

This airgun is checking all the boxes for me right now for my second rifle. CF shroud, extended rail under bottle, side pic, no plastic trigger, moderator, made in US, not overly priced and aesthetically pleasing. Accurate out to 190 yards. I'll be paying more attention.

The following will not like to many of you..... BUT ..... I have to say it......

The way the Sidewinder works (that is the same of the LCS,the Rattler and the Huben K1), seem to be the equivalent in regard of all other air rifles (including Daystate with computers) of using candles for lightening a house vs. the electric power.

Once you see how easy is to increase and decrease A LOT of power naturally on the Sidewinder you understand that there is no need to buy troubles.

With this system you achieve changes of power NATURALLY.....

It looks like a no sense to go back to get less.
