Things I liked:this gun is great! coupled with leapers high mounts a 3-12x44 swat scope and a grt-III trigger you can hit just about anything. Things I would have changed:the stock trigger has wayyyy to much creep What others should know:this gun will shoot hole on hole groups at 30yds

Things I liked:The GRT III from http://www.charliedatuna.com/ fits this rifle!!! If you have/or are thinking about obtaining a Vantage, INSTALL THIS TRIGGER Mod!!! The difference is phenomenally better with the GRT III. The wood stock is nice. Rifle is full size and goes into the shoulder well. The Scope is OK. Plan to upgrade to a 3x9x40. Rifle is very powerful. Things I would have changed:Accuracy is not so good. 1 inch diameter groups at 10 meters (with the original trigger)....I'll let you know if groups improve with the GRT III. I get 1/2 inch or less groups with the Gamo Whisper and Crossman Nitro using the same bench set up. Scope is not adjustable for distance. Can't get a clear sight picture at 10 yards. Elevation and Windage adjustments must be made with a screwdriver or coin. What others should know:This rifle is very "hold" finicky. Read Tom Gaylord's article on the "Artillery Hold". I've tried 12 different types pellets. The ones that produce the best groups (1 inch diameter is the best I can get) are: Crosman Premier Lights and JSB Diablo Exact Light. I need to re-test all 12 pellet types with the recently installed GRT III trigger. The rifle is not easy to cock (my wife cannot cock it), but the cocking mechanism is smooth once I lubed with Moly (per the guidance at the http://www.charliedatuna.com/ web site). This rifle is not at it's ultimate "out of the box", but is a good project for tuning.
