Things I liked:great weight distribution, accuracy, easy cocking effort ....fpe Things I would have changed:butt plate shims are a little awkward What others should know:seems to be I got luck with this one.

Mine doesn't like HWS pellets, but loves Beeman silver bears currently shooting 1/2 in groups at 40yds 725fps 26grains and over 30fpe now that is just awesome out of a springer!!!! Hopefully after a good break in it stays this way. Do yourself a favor and get the gas spring, it makes a world of difference!!!

Things I would have changed:The stock is junk do to it has to much flex when trying to sight in the rifle. The gun w/scope mounted is a little heavy. The plastic trigger is OK but metal would be better. Need a little lighter trigger, maybe 2 or 3 lbs. What others should know:This rifle is not for the weak. It is a hard strong cocking rifle. If your arms are not strong you need to look at a different rifle.

3) nice scope Things I would have changed:a scope mount that will offset closer to the shooter. What others should know:This gun hits hard; I shot a rabbit @ 35 yards with a kodiak and the kill was instant . I thought I missed because it didnt move at all; then it rolled slowly on its back ... a complete torso pass-thru.
kodiaks chrono @ 670 and have beast down range performance from the beeman pellets(crowmagnums) and as compared to eun-jins 43 and 35 grains.
As a comparison :I have 22 condor and I shot two chipmunks with predator pellets and I took 2 chipmunks with this walther 25_ 43 grain eunjins and this walther flipped & tumbled them and were dead before they hit the ground .
The 22 on power 10 wasn't humane as they flopped around for several seconds.
Heavier and wider pellets are the way to go!

Read MoreThings I liked:25 CAL AFFORDABLE Very close to advertised FPS and power Things I would have changed:STRONGER STOCK What others should know:The 22 cal might start off with a little more ME. But you will not believe the sound the 25 cal makes when it hits the target. More energy down range, more knock down power. I know PCPs in 25 cal have more fps and me. But if you hunt, carrying the bottle or pump is a real drag. Buy the gas spring conversion, you can leave it cocked for hours also smoother shooting cycle. This rifle is not hold sensitive and accuracy is very good, ragged one holers at tem meters. It will build your arms up. LOL

Things I liked: This is a fantastic rifle! it cocks much easier than I thought it would based on some of the reviews I had read prior to buying it so I like that and I upgraded to a leapers 3-9x50 scope and it's all I could ask for in a scope so I can't comment on the stock scope.
It's an attractive rifle so another plus it also

It's an attractive rifle so another plus it also has a nice rifle feel and any real shooter will know what I'm talking about it just feels good in your hands. I saved the most important thing that I liked about the rifle and that's the accuracy, it took me about 20 rounds to sight it in to where I was hitting a dime sized circle from 30 yards consistently which I found pretty impressive out of an air rifle. Things I would have changed: I would put a metal trigger and shorten the trigger pull just a little bit. What others should know: Quick background on me I competed in several regional and 1 national marksmanship competitions and qualified expert with .22 .45 and .223 and placed 5th or better in several regional competitions and one national.
I purchased this rifle in .25 since they were out of the .22 and am I ever thankful that they were out of the .22 since I have a ton of raccoons where I live and they have killed my birds, tore my roof apart, attacked my wife from out of a garbage can, I eliminated 3 raccoons the first night with one shot one kill so the heavier round really is the humane way to go.
If anyone reads this they might want to buy the universal bipod for the rifle since it does have a little weight to it so the bipod will make long shooting sessions and precision shots easier especially for beginners.
Just one more note to buyers, each ammunition hits the target in a different spot so find one that you like and stick with that or you will have to sight it in to that specific type and I picked the Beeman silver pointed ammo which does it all.

What others should know:I got the .22 version. I droped a 30 pound pest from 25 yds with a neck shot and jsb predator pellets. One quick follow up shot to the head ended it quickly. So did my brother in-law with a .177 gamo and gamo gold raptor pellets. His shot was even further than mine!--All on private ranches, with permission, and for pest eradication purposes. The pork adobo was ono too! Oink, Oink....

Things I liked:This gun is a beast. by far the best and most accurate gun i own... seriously, where you put the crosshairs you put the pellet. It is almost like cheating when it comes to hunting small and medium game. It is really quiet more than my 177's and it packs the puch of God. Things I would have changed:The plastic stock

It is almost like cheating when it comes to hunting small and medium game. It is really quiet more than my 177's and it packs the puch of God. Things I would have changed:The plastic stock. it feels weak. When you brake the barrel it feels like you going to snap it in half. Less force to brake it, this is not for kids or the weak, it takes a lot of energy to brake this baby but is worth it. What others should know:The factory scope is a burden...The gun kicks relly good and the scope cant handle it, so youll spend a lot of time re-zeroing again and again. I bought a leapers 4-12 x 50 with a leapers one piece mount and its an awesome combination. Im hitting cans at 100yds constantly. Best pellets for this rifle... diabolo exact, silver bears and crow magnums. im talking about 1/4 inch groups at 40yrds... this gun is for serious hunting and not for the weak. 1 shot 1 kill mentality and the gun responds to your demands.

Things I liked:These are made in Turkey, and the quality is quite good. This gun is one of the most powerful spring guns in .22 or .25 cal. Even with the recoil of a powerful spring gun, it delivers your pellet right where you aim and leaves you satisfied. It's an ideal varmint gun.

Even with the recoil of a powerful spring gun, it delivers your pellet right where you aim and leaves you satisfied. It's an ideal varmint gun. Raccoons will forget where you live and where your dumpster is. I also like the gas ram for this gun. Once you experience shooting it with a gas ram, you'll never switch to a rifle with a metal spring. It's like the difference between a gasoline engine and a diesel. The gas ram would be like the gas engine. The rifle shoots way smoother with a gas ram unit than with the metal spring. Twang-free. Also, there's no lubrication or maintenance required for a gas spring. Things I would have changed:Plastic parts (trigger, safety, sights) made of metal, scope mounts. What others should know:It's better to get a 1-piece mount or combination of LEMNT-DNTOWL with 2-piece low-profile Weaver scope rings, which is a solid mounting system.

With a good rest, correct ammo, and steady hands this rifle is able to adequately take small game out to the 50-60 yard range. The metal on this rifle is of a high quality in fit and finish. Things I would have changed:In many other reviews people have complained about the stock and I do have to agree with them. I have not experienced any problems with the stock's structural integrity (appx. 1,000 shots), but it does feel somewhat cheap and hollow. The mechanics of the trigger should be reconfigured to provide a lighter pull. What others should know:If you were like me and on the "fence" about buying this rifle, I would say go for it. Although the stock does feel cheap it seems to work fine as well as the heavy trigger. In the price range I don't think there is another air rifle better suited for small game hunting and pest control ( as well as plinking if you are able to deal with the cocking effort). On a side note be careful about pellet selection: I have had good luck with crosman field tips and jbs predators, but my gun absolutely hates RWS super domes (2.5 inch groups @ 25 yards at best)

Things I would have changed:Gas-ram and spring in this gun are both too heavy to cock for anyone under 170 pounds, they should add a light multi-pump airfill system to replace a single-pump that requires 50 pounds downward force, it's dangerous if someone can't go all the way and barrel bounces back hard into their face. Trigger could be 2-3 pounds lighter. It does not have swivel mounts for a shoulder strap and drilling into a hard plasting stock may get loose later. A rubbery plastic surface feels much better than a slippery hard plastic stock. What others should know:This is the most powerful breakbarrel rifle in America with it's cousin Webley Patriot, both are made by Hatsan of Turkey and imported by Umarex. A pellet in .25cal can go through 800 pages of yellow-pages or though 1/2" wood. It's a very accurate rifle up to 70 yards, similar in accuracy to PCP's. If you weight less than 170 pound (of muscle!) buy another rifle like Gamo whisper because you won't be able to cock this gun or it'll be too difficult to cock it safely. Overall it's a nice hunting rifle if you can cock it but believe me you wouldn't want it for backyard fun, it'll take 3000 calories/day just to cock it 10 times!

(I returned the sping rifle for credit and bought the conversion) The gas spring version will shoot more consistantly than the mechanical spring. Shot to shot in five shot strings proved this. Average FPS look like this. RWS HOBBIES 11.9 GRAINS.=988.9 FPS B. SILVER BEAR 12.6 G=958.7FPS B. LAZER 13.36G=962.1FPS H-N DIABOLO13.74G=869.7FPS B. TROPHY 14.0G=874.0FPS CHP 14.3G=880.3FPS RWS SUPER DOMES 14.5G=874.1FPS B. SILVER ACE 15.24G=810.3FPS H-N SILHOUETTE 16.36=787.1 PREDATOR POLY TIP 16.5G=806.3FPS B. CROWMAG 18.20G=730.8FPS. I think the gas spring conversion is just like the mechanical spring..they dont like heavy pellets. The scope is of very good quality Plastic trigger does not bother me....most every thing in this world is now plastic. Excellent value for the money. I also own a BENJAMIN SUPER STREAK in 22cal. If PYRAMYDAIR ever comes out with a gas sping conversion put me on the list. I'm so convinced that gas spings are the way to go. Things I would have changed:NOT A THING What others should know:If you buy the gas sping conversion, you will not be disappointed. Accuracy is much better than the more hold sensitive mechanical spring. I thought so highly of the gas spring conversion, I contacted BORIS at PYRAMYDAIR and asked him if he could do a gas spring conversion on a WALTHER TALON MAGNUM. He said he could, and I now have in my possesion, what I believe is the first WALTHER TALON MAGNUM with an AIR VENTURI CONVERSION. I'll report on this later. Getting back to my FALCON HUNTER, this is the first air rifle I've owned that did not need shimming of the scope. It shoots dead level at ten meters, just needing a little left windage to get in the ten ring. Hold on tight to the barrel when you first cock it. You will be surprised as the effort will fight you from the very first inch of barrel travel. Not like a springer, starts off easy then gets harder as you near the end of the cocking stroke.

... Read MoreThings I liked:Hard hitting, and accurate. A very honest no frills gun for small game and pest control. A very consistant shooter, I have used Crossman Premiers, and RWS Superdomes and have not experienced a gun caused flyer, during the sight in process, I did clean the bore with JB paste before shooting the gun. The scope included I would call a nice scope, and will not look to replace it. The focus and parallax adjustments are easy and the windage does not require a coin. The trigger okay and predictable once you get used to it.
Things I would have changed:The mounts that come with the scope do not allow one to set close enough to the eye piece to get a full sight picture, in other words the mounts keep the scopes out of its eye relief range. If you order this gun or its spring version, order the Accushot Bi-Direction Offset Mount at the same time, or you will find yourself straining to get closer to the eye piece, and you will find target acqusition difficult. The replacement mount required a 35 to 40 Thousands shim in the bottom half of the front mount, for the up and down windage, I cut mine out of aluminum roofing flashing.
The stock feels okay, but I think it is hollow and that resonates noise, I assume weight was a consideration, at some point I will see if it is practical to fill it with foam.
Like everyone, this 61 year firearm shooter would like to see some metal in the trigger guard, trigger area.
What others should know:Don't know what the cocking effort is, but it is substantial, this is a bruser of a gun, although the recoil is nothing. In size it makes my RWS 460 seem deminunitive. It is louder than the 460, but I feel it is a harder hitter than the 460. The action I would not call silky smooth, but after all they are giving us a heavy hitter and a nice scope, for not too many bucks. The reason I gave the gun an overall rating of 4, was the not real smooth action. Pyramyds service was great as it has been in all five of the airguns that I purchased in the past year, they are the only place I consider.

Things I liked:I love the looks, feel of this gun. This gun is easier to cock than my pistols!. Nice iron sites w/ the true glue. and the camo is a plus too! Would be nice to see the scope in camo?

Would be nice to see the scope in camo? Things I would have changed:Get rid of the plastic trigger and safety, cheapens the total package. I have to .25 cal and it kicks really hard, the trigger is to hard, throws off my aim. 1st time to the range took 20 shoots and still haven't sited this gun in. It's all over the place. I will try again this weekend. Wish I had a rifle holder to help me zero in this gun! What others should know:The.25 cal spring type is a Bull, so it you get it, you better know what your doing. I wonder how much of a difference the piston type is?

Things I liked:This gun is very powerfull, and with the gas ram has a very rimfire like recoil. The bluing is very nice and uniform, and the included 3-9x44 scope is great. Things I would have changed:Plastic trigger. Seems to work, ok, but has a bit more give than I like. What others should know:This is a large and heavy
