The Notos's big brother arrived today. Was eyeing the Zelos for a little while since I've been really impressed with the Notos at it's pricepoint. Then, after a few liquid encouragements, I decided to just get it. Got it through Dack's for $418 shipped to my door, first time I've ordered from them and was expecting to wait a while before receiving it. I was ok with having to wait, but that didn't end up being the case. I placed my order late last Friday. The Zelos arrived today, so less than a week. I'm very excited to play around with it. The only disappointing part is I don't think I'll have much time to shoot this weekend, so there's always next week lol

Enjoy, mine shoots AEA and Zan slugs very well. During testing and reviewing chrono readings I found that the AEA 29 grain pellet and the Zan 26.5 MKll slugs shoot within 5 fps of each other and very accurate. Just need some better weather to continue testing them both while walking the speed up some. So It's looking like I will be able to shoot both without making an adjustment on the gun.

Also, some of the Zelos are coming from factory with to strong of a hammer spring and the stock doesn't have a deep enough recess to allow you to back the hammer spring adjustment out. With a few measurements you can use a 5/8" paddle bit and drill a hole out through the back of the stock butt. Once done you will be able to loosen the adjustable sliding butt plate, slide it down and adjust the hammer spring out till you get the ability to adjust the hammer spring and see the fps range change.

@Matt7467 - HNGD! My friend has one, he really likes it. Get some aftermarket magazines. The stock magazines are the rifle's achilles heel.

Which magazines are you referring to? The Notos or Zelos? I've already got aftermarket for the Notos as the factory one has given me problems from day 1. Didn't really come across anything mentioning Zelos magazines as being an issue when I was doing my research on it. So just eanted so double check

I was referring to the Zelos. These work well.
