Things I liked:Surprisingly accurate right out of the box. This gun will easily stack pellets! Nitro piston upgrade is worth every penny. Consistent brute power with lead pellets. Well-functioning trigger.By Brian from USA on 2011-12-23 16:23:18

Things I would have changed:The stock has a nice looking camo print, but is plastic so it feels a bit cheap. In my opinion, a wood stock would be a more fitting material for a gun that performs this well. An option of purchasing with a wood stock would be a win/win.
What others should know:I purchased this gun with pyramid air's Nitro piston upgrade. It operates and shoots great...makes even my Beeman rifles feel a bit clunky and unforgiving. This gun is easy to operate and shoot very accurately! The scope that comes with this rifle is nice but hasn't held up quite as well as my leapers and bushnells. Typical for rifle/scope packages in this price range. This gun does require proper technique while closing the breech after cocking/loading. If you are using the scope, be sure the barrel is fully seated at the breech(a slight gap here will not affect accuracy using open sights but will make shots drift high/low with the scope). My rifle had a lot of grease in this area which was preventing it from closing well the first 200 shots or so. Hatsan claims they have no wood stock to fit this rifle. I am making one for mine...will be my top rifle when wood is in place.
Things I liked:This is the best trigger on any air rifle (even some rimfire / centerfire guns)I have ever shot. Fit & finish are perfect. Super accurate & powerful. Shoots best with Beeman Kodiak pellets.By Edward from USA on 2011-12-05 09:32:00

Things I would have changed:The scope is junk. Plan on purchasing something better. Mine shredded within the first 40 shots. Cheap plastic adjusters are very hard to turn without a wrench. BSA makes a good air rifle scope that will handle the shock.
Things I liked:feels well made, looks great, accurate, could use more power, i guess its never enough thoughBy Customer from USA on 2011-04-15 06:33:17

Things I would have changed:a little more power, mounts for a sling would be nice
What others should know:this gun performs well,but could use more power
Things I liked:This is an AWSOME gun! Buck for dollar, this one is a real winner. I've shot a Nitro Piston over and over and this one is the best by far! I've put this on my chrony and it makes consistent shots at the same velocity over and over again. It's tough, good looking and the weight is supremely balanced. Even without the bundled scope, the sites that come with it are not cheap, are durable and very accurate. There is NOTHING cheap about this rifle. It is well made, put together with precision using precision parts that work and function as a whole to give you some of the best grace and performance you’ll find in even the much higher priced guns. Get the Pyramid Sales & Tech Team on your side and let them know what it is that you want out of a gun and they'll bend over backwards to make sure it happens! I know---I’m picky as picky can be and they’ve made me one happy consumer! New or used, this gun is one that will retain its craftsmanship and functionality over many years, after THOUSANDS of shots, I’m certain of it.By Willie from USA on 2011-03-20 07:21:26

Things I would have changed:I'd engineer someway to mount a fixed sling locating the fore mount of the sling on a clamp that encircles the mid barrel and the aft sling end normally mounted and all because the rifle is on the heavy side to carry around on a hunt. I'd also engineer some kind of aftermarket suppressor that would further quiet the gun. But I'm picky and don't even like to hear a ping out of an Air Rifle---we all strive for perfection and if I had something I'd change, this would be all I'd do to this because it is otherwise PERFECT!
What others should know:Of course, you'll get lower velocities using real hunting lead pellets. This one LOVES the Polymag 16gr pellet: Groups of 1 inch or better, depending on the wind, at 40+ yards and at 25 yards most shots are SAME HOLE shots! At 869/860 FPS and 865 FPS on average, you can't beat this Air Rifle/ Pellet match combination and prey devastation! This gun is hard on scopes so be sure you get your gear squared away RIGHT! It's heavy too. Takes a lot to cock it but use the very end of the barrel and you'll be fine. Mine broke the first scope but Umarex is in the process of replacing the scope.
Things I liked:I am highly impressed with this air rifle. Also with the camoflauge stock, which matches well in brush and trees, with no reflection from it. I love the blue lighted sights for shooting in darker areas. The durability and the quality of the design as well as the mechanical structure of the gun seem to be well-made. I purchased mine with the Nitro Piston. The noise level is really impressive as it is a lot quieter than most pellet guns. The kick is minimal. I really like the fact that you can carry the gun for a long length of time without losing spring pressure and the accuracy is great. I would recommend this gun. It is well worth the price. You wouldn't be disappointed. Jim YoungBy JAMES from USA on 2011-03-19 01:15:52

What others should know:Air guns are as dangerous as real guns, but the prepulsion is different.
Things I liked:The scope is spectacular. Accuracy is awesome. Extremely quiet compared to other pellet guns I have used. The power is superior compared to many other pellet guns.By Slip_knot from USA on 2011-03-07 20:58:04

Things I would have changed:The rifle stock should have more of a pistol grip handle to grasp on to for better leverage to the shoulder.
What others should know:This is called "the beast" by many people including myself. It is not a great plinker simply because of cocking force but, it can be used for plinking and is extremely accurate. The best suggestion for anyone who uses it would be: 1. Don't treat it like a toy and be afraid of breaking it. Reach up and grab the muzzle break to cock it and wing it back up. It will save a lot of muscle work and it wont break the gun. 2. When you get the gun Clean the barrel. It makes it a little more noisier and gives it more kick. I didn't test the difference between before and after but, common sense says if it has more kick it has more power. The power of this gun is amazing. 3. Mount the scope as far back as possible. The stock is very long. 4. Oil the moving parts from time to time it seems to help it break in pretty quickly and makes it easier on you. These are a few observations I have noticed since have had the gun. Hope this helps.

Things I would have changed:Needs weaver rings
What others should know:Get weaver rings and it will hold zero.Hit a bottle cap dead center at 50ft this gun groups great with h&s hollowpoints. Will shoot clean through a water filled 2 ltr bottle or a one gallon milk jug full of water at 30 yrds.This rifle likes to be held firmly at all points unlike others that like to be floated with easy holdsCommentsBy xshooter from USA on 2010-11-11 11:56:24 0 
You should try shooting at metal stuff since it's a better test cause my beeman RS1 can shoot through a gallon destilled water jug full of water @ 100 yards.
Things I liked:I just want to tell you that value for money for a hunting rifle, this accurate .25 power house is your best choice. I am using the (Beeman Kodiak Match ExtraHeavy .25 Cal, 30.7 Grains) I am shooting small game at 50 yards with this pellet and 1 shot is all it takes. Reminder, learn your hold to this rifle if you want to be accurate, the more you maintain your hold the more accurate you will be shot after shot. and give the rifle a good 200 shots before you mount the scope on it.By israel from USA on 2010-05-08 01:00:29

Things I would have changed:The scope base needs to allow more room to move the scope back.
What others should know:What ever you do, do not treat this rifle like a pellet rifle. Treat it like if it was a fire arm! in other words, always fallow safety rules to operate so that others or your self will not get hurt.CommentsBy Gary from USA on 2010-10-02 01:04:55 1 The .25 Caliber Falcon likes the 35.8Grain Eun Jun pellets and there harder hitting than the Beeman Kodiak or H&N Baracudas At 30.02Grain.- 12345
