I've had my 1701P for about a year. Great little gun for the basement in winter. I have made no adjustments to mine yet. I'm getting 60 shots per fill with 7.83gr pellets at roughly 460 fps. Accuracy is outstanding. I lucked out and snagged some VA cocobolo grips for it about a month after I got the gun.

I did the bolt swap this morning, a breeze. I could do it in under 10 minutes now.
I shot about 100 pellets today, 20+ brands and the only one it really did not like was Gamo Hunters. The Metz 8.2 also did not do great, but not bad.
I was surprised the Gamo Match grouped as well as the RWS Match (R10)
I turned it all the way down, now I am getting 460 with 7.4 gr pellets. 60+ shots on a fill.
Lovely gun.

Might be worth investing in some custom grips for those monster paws of yours.

I shot the Airbug and PP800r also today.
Finally found a pellet that will group very well with the Airbug.
Both are .177 and use the same mag, I bought the much improved mags from Maple Custom out of Canada. They work flawlessly. If I had bough them in .22, I could have used my Notos Maple Custom mags in them, they all use the same mag design. Eventually Notos will be available in .177, so I am future proofed.
So now I have a match grade single shot PCP (1701p), a near match grade multi shot PCP (PP800r) and a multi-shot CO2 gun (Airbug). Only the 1701p does not need a moderator. The other two are very loud without a little help.
The PP800r is going to be a carbine for sure.

I can't imagine why you couldn't change the barrel, probe, and magazine and make your own 177 notos.
I own a notos and have a pp800r otw, but I've never torn into either.
Seems like it should be doable though.
