Things I liked:The stock is really nice! It has pretty good fiber optic sights as well. For those familiar with the Techforce guns, it has the same trigger as the 89 series.
This thing is a BEAST! It hits every bit as hard as a RWS 350. About 910 FPS with Crosman Premier Hollow Points. It is a great hunting gun for raccoons, possums, fox, and other smaller game animals Things I would have changed:Really hard to cock at first. It takes me two hands to cock it and I'm over six feet and 250 lbs. This isn't a kid's gun, nor would it be a good plinking gun. It is a hardcore hunting model. What others should know:Invest in some good one piece mounts. It has a harsh recoil at first. Don't expect a cheap scope or two piece mounts to hold up on this rifle. I bought the third one brought into the country direct from the new Pyramid Air office in Bardstown, KY. It is a magnum class springer, some would say a super magnum.
Not quite, if it shoots Premiers at 910 it's doing a bit over 26 fpe. A JSB Heavy has to be doing about 805 fps to match that which will never happen since springers are less efficient with heavier pellets. My XL 1100 does a kiss under 26 fpe with Premiers and only 21 with Heavies
What he means is the .22 version shoots around 900 FPS. With some heavy pellets like the JSB 18 grain, that means it is getting over 30 FPE!
you said it shoots at 910fps with hp's that weigh only7.9 grains and that is definately not 22fpe if your 350 is that slow try rws chamber lube to increase it
BKL mounts two piece or one piece will hold on this or any other spring gun. Don't even need a scope stop. Try em you'l like em. Things I liked:I bought number three sold by Compasseco. I was working in KY and went by to visit Eric there. I picked it up and bought it! It is a HARD hitting gun. Right up there with the RWS 350 I own. The stock is great as I'm a big guy and it just shoulders so easily. It is HARD to cock, so don't get this for a kid, with great power comes great resistance. :) I mounted a Leapers 3 x 9 scope on it with some one piece mounts. Because it was slipping, I did mount the provided scope stop on the rifle which helped. After cleaning the barrel and shooting a few rounds I was easily getting a quarter sized group at 20 yards and it isn't broken in yet. Later that day I took a squirrel with a perfect headshot at around 38 yards! You could hear the THWACK that far away! For the price it is a great magnum air gun. I own a TF 89 and this one hits a LOT harder than the 89. It should be getting around 22-23 FPE with normal Crosman Hollow Point pellets. That is plenty for even larger game like a raccoon, fox, or possum.
Things I would have changed:Perhaps a better scope stop. This gun shoots SO hard that you really need to make sure your scope stop is up to the task. What others should know:This isn't a casual air gun. It is hard hitting magnum spring air gun. You need considerable arm strength to cock this gun while it is new.
BKL scope mounts will keep your scope in place. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

Things I would have changed:better scope mount instead of dovetail mount.
What others should know:This gun is not a quiet air rifle. it is LOUD when shot but what do you expect from a magnum spring powered rifle. i have not really had a chance to test the accuracy of this gun but so far it is very acceptable for a new gun that hasn't been broken in yet. it also has some kick to it but that comes with the magnum rifle again. This gun is not a gun for children to shoot either it takes a heavy stroke to get it cocked so if you are thinking about this gun for a child do not buy it. this is a hard shooting hunting rifle not a plinking gun for the basement.
