Things I liked:It accomodates and conforms to just about any gun wih a droop issue. Initially when installed with rings and scope- the scope appears to point straight down to the muzzle. I've had far too many scopes that I just couldn't dial down far enough. In this case with th Leapers droop mount I was dialing up for a change! Very functional

I've had far too many scopes that I just couldn't dial down far enough. In this case with th Leapers droop mount I was dialing up for a change! Very functional, sturdy, good screws. Things I would have changed:Nothing. It's a GEM! Wish RWS would've considered the idea aeons ago. What others should know:The barrel droop problem has been brought to the RWS table on a multitude of occaisions and fell on deaf ears. Other gun manufacturers as well. That other parties have stepped-up to the plate and produced the idea shows an element of integrity in the air-gunning world. I'm not harping RWS or any other manufacturer for their inability to listen to their clientelle. I'm simply grateful that someone LISTENED! This... IS the option to turn-to where barrel droop is an issue and Paul, I can't thank you enough for the suggestion! It works flawlessly!
Things I liked:Very, very clear! I think the CenterPoints have clearer optics than most. The hex screws on the elevation and windage have two settings(height) so that once you've zeroed-in you can bring the dial back to zero. The flip lens caps are always a plus. Things I would have changed:The windage adjustments are slightly

Things I would have changed:The windage adjustments are slightly limited. What others should know:For the money, this scope is a good way to go for lower to mid-priced guns. It would be out of place on a high-end gun. The lenses are very clear, the matte finish is very well done, appearance-wise she's a LOOKER! Quite functional to boot!

Things I liked:The POWER and kick of this rifle! This one's got some serious juevos! The scope is very high quality and the butt pad of the stock is insert -adjustable. Trigger isn't half bad for a one-stage pull. The Mossy Oak Break-Up Camo is a flattering touch to this very unique rifle. The fluted scope rail accomodates just about any
... Read MoreThings I liked:The POWER and kick of this rifle! This one's got some serious juevos! The scope is very high quality and the butt pad of the stock is insert -adjustable. Trigger isn't half bad for a one-stage pull. The Mossy Oak Break-Up Camo is a flattering touch to this very unique rifle. The fluted scope rail accomodates just about any mounting system out there and is quite appealing to the eyes. There's no buzz when shooting this one nor twist- the power plant is solid and very well built. Things I would have changed:The trigger and safety are molded plastic and visibly so... Hatsan(Walther) could've cleaned up their molding job a little better. The stock feels of a lower grade plastic which could use being a little more grippy. Something along the lines of the compounds Gamo uses on theirs. Out of the box the Falcon is quite grindy while cocking but no worries this one smooths out nicely! The screws along the body of the stock tighten counter-clockwise which I find to be an oddity. All screws needed tightening upon arrival. The open sites are solid but came a little crooked on mine. Initially this bugged me but when I scoped it and zero'd er' in- my skepticism abruptly changed. Once you get used to this "bronco" of a kicker it's quite accurate! What others should know:Upon arrival- this will be the oiliest gun you will ever receive... bar none! Bring a chamy/gun cloth and swabs for the unveiling. This one comes very well packaged with styrofoam ends snuggly fitting the barrel and end of the stock. The Falcon is very unique in its own rite and deserves the credibility that it's earned. Break-in with mine took somewhere in the acinity of 50+ shots. This one likes the heavies so get yourself some Beeman Crow Mags. RWS SuperDomes work pretty well too. I'd been talking with Paul over the course of a few weeks about different power-hitters and he'd drawn my attention to this wonderous rifle. Thankyou Paul for your excellent customer service once again- the pyramydair staff are nothing short of the best! Hit the order button and get yourself a Walther Falcon Hunter Edition in .22 or .25... you won't regret it... really!

Things I liked:When you pull this one out of the box the first thing you'll notice is how BIG that Bull Barrel is! It is immaculate! This one shows a very good effort on Gamo's behalf. Good sized scope too although you will definitely spend the better of an afternoon dialing it in. Once it's dialed it is a pleasure to shoot. The power on

Good sized scope too although you will definitely spend the better of an afternoon dialing it in. Once it's dialed it is a pleasure to shoot. The power on the Hunter Elite is up there as well. I don't have a crony but in comparison to my other Gamo's you get what you're paying for and it's well worth it. Things I would have changed:Gamo's infamous trigger. I sent mine to CharlieTheTuna for this very reason. The trigger pull takes away from the efficiency and accuracy of this otherwise well made air rifle. If you don't mind voiding your warranty for a tune-up and a new trigger(GRT3) the results you'll get in the end are nothing short of fabulous! GOOD GUN! Out of the box it's a hard hitter but that trigger has got to go and that's why I've given 4 Stars for accuracy. The scope has some mild parallax problems contrary to its marketing. The illumination on the red dot is adjustable from dim to bright and I definitely find this to be a plus. Oh yeah, and about the Raptors... sure they up the velocity but not without sacrifice of better accuracy. Shooting light pellets is hard on the spring and rough on the efficiency of any air rifle. They're depreciating to your air gun. Keep this in mind when your ego wants extreme velocity. What others should know:This is a great gun! It's a fun shooter and dependable too! On day two of its arrival I took out a squirrel at 25 yards using Crossman Premier Hollowpoints and that little bugger just dropped! I really wanna thank Pyramyd Air for answering my emails and being the very best in customer service. I also want to thank CharlieTheTuna for making this gun the finest it can be! With a little modification on the trigger and the internals this gun shoots like a high-dollar springer up there with the best of em'!

Things I liked:Light, well-balanced, very accurate after break-in. This is a great gun for the cash! Lotsa fun too. I've picked-off many a squirrel with this thing and they just drop at 20 yards. Things I would have changed:The breakbarrel screw seems to need to be tightened every 500 shots or so- nothing a little lock-tite can't

I've picked-off many a squirrel with this thing and they just drop at 20 yards. Things I would have changed:The breakbarrel screw seems to need to be tightened every 500 shots or so- nothing a little lock-tite can't fix. The scope rings have loosened up top on one occaision but haven't had any problems since. Despite much ridicule on the Gamo trigger mine isn't half-bad. What others should know:Pyramydair kicked-ass on this one! Customer Service was great and very informative. Got here alot quicker than I thought it would too- and on a saturday?! Gamo needs to come clean on their Raptors. This one likes the Crossman Premier Domes and Hollowpoints! I get great groups at 30 yards using these very pellets. Now the Raptors are a bit of a different ballgame with this rifle as with ANY rifle. They like to fly both left and right of a 'quarter' sized target at 30 yards. The Premier Domes seem to have greater penetration! With the slight velocity loss involved in heavier pellets they're well worth it on this one. I've also shot JSB Predator UltraShock Hollowpoints through this thing and they mushroom-out when they hit- good for all kinds of small game! This is an all-around fun shooter and I'd recommend it to anyone!
Things I liked:Above average uniformity and weight. Things I would have changed:The price but in this case you really do get what you pay for... accuracy! What others should know:The FTS weigh the same as the Crow Mags- if your gun likes Crow Magnums it'll also like these! The FTS are pretty much all I use anymore.

If the cost isn't a problem for you- the FTS are the way to go!
Things I liked:These are th cats meow of hunting pellets! The polymere tip makes for great initial penetration and upon impact they mushroom-out delivering some serious knock-down capability! Things I would have changed:Not a thing! What others should know:The PolyMag is the pellet I grab for now for hunting purposes

The polymere tip makes for great initial penetration and upon impact they mushroom-out delivering some serious knock-down capability! Things I would have changed:Not a thing! What others should know:The PolyMag is the pellet I grab for now for hunting purposes. They're just devastating. Most pellets won't drop a squirrel or a rabbit on the first hit and these certainly do. It says it on the lid and is quite appropriate: "You don't PLAY with these". They're not kidding. Good weight, above average uniformity, and most of all KILL POWER!
Things I liked:GREAT uniformity! Very well produced pellets... I think they've become my favorite all-around that I grab for. Things I would have changed:Absolutely nothing. Good weight, definitely more accurate than most. These I consider to be "Elite". What others should know:Get some, try em' out and you'll be able

What others should know:Get some, try em' out and you'll be able to tell the difference between your average run-of-the-mill pellets and something above and beyond! They're a little pricey but the quality you're getting is fabulous!
Things I liked:My tuned Hunter Elite likes these the most! I'm even getting the occaisional sonic crack with very little deviation. They're accurate and smooth firing.

Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:These pellets are great for squirrels, rabbit or any other small game or pest that may find their way into your field.
Things I liked:Very consistent, minimal pellet size variation. Nice pellets- get yourself some! Things I would have changed:The infamous threadless tin! They're real easy to spill without some form of a locking top. What others should know:Good all around pellet- for plinking and small game alike!
Things I liked:Snug fitting, heavy, GREAT for small game! These things mushroom-out on impact and carry quite a wallup out of my Walther Falcon. These things pierced 1" plywood at 50 yards and absolutely blistered the exiting side of the sheet. Pellet size variation is nil. The CrowMags are quite consistent. Things I would have

These things pierced 1" plywood at 50 yards and absolutely blistered the exiting side of the sheet. Pellet size variation is nil. The CrowMags are quite consistent. Things I would have changed:The container could use some threads. They're real easy to spill with its current smooth-open design. What others should know:You'll like these! They don't deviate much and are some hard-hitters... get yourself a tin and take em' for a test-shoot!
Things I liked:The Ultra Magnums are hard hitters! Quite accurate as well. Things I would have changed:The length of the pellets are inconsistent. This will obviously affect velocity and pellet weight. What others should know:Heavier pellets aren't always the best for your gun. They DO however give outstanding results

Crossman makes some fine pellets! If they can get their sizing right they'll be even better!
