This is my first ever gas ram rifle. Not 100 percent sure what to make of this tech just yet. The bad stuff out of the way quickly....ups gave a terrible delivery experience(nothing against the gun there), the scope is what I expected, and what the reviews said it would be.
The look of the rifle is plain. But good. The dovetail seems to be aligned rather well. No scuffs, scrapes or dings upon inspection. LOP is a good fit and the ambi cheek riser is better than I thought. Shot cycle feels very strong, and is definitely different to a spring gun. I ran it over the chrono after having put about 100 shots through it.
About what I expected with heavy ammo. Pretty consistent for not being close to broken in. Total spread from 814-826, most shots are around 818.
I tried the scope. I went through all the same procedures as I would setting up a nice scope....I have removed the scope. Original open sights are usable, but I would prefer only fiberoptic on the front. Atm I mounted the williams peeper out back. Still getting the gun sighted in, and I have only tried the 1 kind of ammo atm.
From the looks of everything, this is the same as my cabelas outfitter with gas ram instead. Which makes the stocks interchangeable between those 2 models, as well as the Remington summit and a few others.
I have bearings for the trigger mod coming Monday. Currently I have removed the first pin and trigger spring to lighten it. The bearing will take out the play it currently has. Overall I think it will come together quite nice.
Once I run a few more types of ammo through and see what groups the best I think I will want a scope on this to extend my reach since the power is there.
Some guys might wanna throw shade at the budget rifles, but really for a little more than 100 bucks....it looks decent. Feels good in hand, should put std. Weight 177 pellets right in the sweet spot for in flight stability in that 850-875 fps range. Not a lot to complain about.
