Good Out of the Box Shooters (PCPs) - Share Your Experiences

My first 'real' airgun was a Hatsan Factor RC. It was incredible out of the box and it still is. It sucked me in to this community and made me realize that this was going to wind up becoming a very expensive hobby. So.... I bought an FX Impact M3 (600mm). Also incredible out of the box but twice as incredible as the Factor? No. It was $1000 more and probably "cooler" but until my adjustable butt stock and adjustable cheek riser come in (add another $300+ to the price of the Impact) the Hatsan is a far more comfortable rifle to shoot.
It doesn't seem like Hatsan gets too much love and I don't know their backstory, but the Factor is pretty impressive. So is the Impact...

Zbroia hortisia know it's not that popular of a brand but it is just something elegant about the guns in the dark stained wood, plus they shoot lights out. Imo very underrated brand in general.

AGT and Daystate normally out of the box are pin point...... BUT:
No rifle I own or know is as easy to use and adjust as the Sidewinders, just dim in and you have less power, dim out and you have more power, both in a wide range not achievable that easy by any other old system (spring and hammer) rifles.
If the sidewinder would have an excellent trigger (now is not bad, but you need to learn how to pull it), must of other air rifles manufacturers would need to change their business to make and sell pup corn (FX included).

Brocock compatto (non regulated) Air Arms S510.. clean the barrel, fill with air, grab up a tin of pellets and go shoot. My 2 straight out of box favorites.

My Brocock Ranger. I've done really extensive pellet/tune testing and thus far, the tune/pellets AoA had on the sample target they sent it with is tied with one or two others as the most accurate.

For what it does, my Crosman 1701P comes as close to perfect out of the box as I've encountered. It is a target gun and it does that very well. It gets 40-50 shots in the sweet spot and shoots lights-out. Now, I did end up making a minor trigger adjustment and I put some custom target grips on it, but I shoot it with the factory tune for 3.5FPE.
I realize high power is alluring and seductive, but this low-powered gem does what it was made for with virtually no adjustment out of the box.

Daystate huntsman revere .177 nonregulated. Showed up shooting 10.3 grs at 900 fps. Just needed to shoot a string to see where the start and finish of the curve is. 200 bar down to 150 bar give me about 60 shots and only swings 20 fps up then down. Pretty consistent and the cocking motion is buttery smooth. Add scope, air, pellets, mod and go.

Crosmans for sure, 1720&1701. Haven't had any others....oh wait a minute I do have a discovery that I don't shoot. Soon I will be looking at the Marauder.
