Things I liked:

Combination of features...Regulated PCP, M4 based with lots of bolt on accessories available from many vendors, semi-auto, 30 mags. Overall, no other product in this space. Best for what I need even though, lots of other products are better in individual areas. This rifle hits the sweet spot for me overall with the set of features all combined.

Things I would have changed:

I understand the cost controls keeping this to $300, but I would pay for more options like better iron sights (first thing I did was toss the equipped sight and put on aftermarket ones. Trigger is not great, but I give a little room here since it is semi-auto - probably lots going on under the hood there..would ESPECIALLY like to see a 1900 psi regulator option!!! SIG, hope you are listening :)

What others should know:

Accuracy is acceptable for me to 30+ yards for what I need. Its semi-auto and the trigger is gravel...but, it is semi-auto so not sure if there are some tuners out there who can tweak that.

    Things I liked:

    Weight is like real not to loud, my unit holds air fine read a lot of products leak but my air bottle does move around some without air leaks so far, love it for the price range!

    Things I would have changed:

    Make PCP bottle tighter where bottle screws into the rifle thinking of using a sealant that is medium hard around area between rifle and insert where bottle screws to rifle. To close the gap. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    What others should know:

    A good price for a good time!

    Things I liked:

    Semi-auto but get 120 full power shots per tank vs 60 in my Umarex Gauntlet. Free shipping. The 10 for $10 is a great deal for peace of mind that your purchase functions properly and chronograph results (10 shots) supplied along with test results of functionality.

    Things I would have changed:

    Would like to see a little better accuracy but I bought primarily for running steel targets for which I believe is this rifle is well suited.

    What others should know:

    Pyramyd Air is an an outstanding firm to deal with. They have air gun technicians available to answer any questions you may have concerning your purchase. Again their 10 for $10 offer is something I suggest all consider when purchasing.

    Things I liked:

    30 round magazine, magazines are inexpensive, accuracy is ok.

    Things I would have changed:

    Magazine would have been better if it was more realistic, dust cover could have been functional, floating hand-guard is too big and bulky, rifle is too long and heavy, NOT powerful enough, too bad they couldn't make this blow-back action. They went for a realistic look but I feel they could have done a lot better. They should take notes from Crossman... Crossman's R1 BB rifle is a lot more realistic. SIG Sauer does not sell parts to this rifle which is a HUGE disappointment (better buy extended warranty just in case).

    What others should know:

    Long, bulky, heavy, and not that powerful.

    Things I liked:

    Great plinker and really fun gun to just mess around with and do some close range pesting with. Very light weight and generally just great for just messing around in the back yard and destroying small items. Also the stock attachment at the end of the bottle is surprisingly comfortable though I would still suggest getting a wrap of some sort for the bottle so you aren't resting your cheek on a cold piece of metal while shooting. Also it's PCP and not some co2 so it won't die in the cold or when fired rapidly.

    Things I would have changed:

    The rail is a decent quality polymer rail for the most part but mine had noticeable stitching that had to be sanded down. Also because of the mechanism that cycles the belt in the magazine being powered by the trigger pull the first stage of the trigger is a bit heavy so I would not suggest this if you are picky about trigger pulls. Also the bottle will wobble a bit at first when you thread it but this will be fixed and stiffen up when you pressurize the rifle. This is not a massive issue to me but still I feel there could be at least something included to prevent this.

    What others should know:

    It is not all that accurate from further distances though I do not consider this to be a fault of the rifle as this thing is not designed to focus on shooting really tight groups at further distances or getting insane power. I would strongly recommend buying 1 spare magazine as it comes with 3 more belts totaling 4 belts. This provides about 120 shots (The approximate amount you will tend to get for a fill) and is very convenient. Overall I would suggest this if you just want a fun low power PCP gun to plink and mess around with. If your looking for some thing with more accuracy and higher power in this price range for hunting/longer range shooting I would suggest something more along the lines of the Air Venturi Avenger or Umarex Gauntlet.

    Things I liked:

    30 round magazine is awesome and works flawlessly after 250 pellets so far. You can pull the trigger as fast as you like. At 3000psi, I can shoot 3 mags no problem. Recharge in 5 mins, back to shooting. Love this thing.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing, love it.

    What others should know:

    Buttstock is not adjustable because of tank location, but I'm a big guy so have large frame no adjustment needed.

    Things I liked:

    It's a sub $300 PCP. The semi-automatic function with 30 rounds is a nice touch.

    Things I would have changed:

    Accuracy... This thing isn't accurate enough to need a scope. Grouping at 25 yards is a field of about 6".

    What others should know:

    Loading is a bit more difficult than most other magazines as the belt is flimsy and a bit harder to hold. The trigger isn't consistent due to the belt not always stopping in the proper location so sometimes it needs a much stiffer trigger pull to rotate the belt. It feels like a CO2 pellet gun. There isn't anything fancy about this one. It is a bit loud. Not excessively loud, but a small built-in suppressor would be nice to have.

    Things I liked:

    I bought this gun to be fun, and that's what it delivers.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing. The gun is exactly as described. I got what I ordered. It lives up to its description.

    What others should know:

    My particular rifle gets 655 fps with Crosman Premier 14.3 grain pellets, which comes to over 13 foot pounds. Your results may differ. The gun is reasonably accurate. The weight of the trigger is as expected, and, to me, not a problem. The rear sight should have been in flat paint instead of the gloss they used. The small aperture gets quite the glint and ruins my sight picture. The larger aperture works out just fine. I had to set the front sight post to its lowest position to get the gun on target at 25 yards. Good enough, really... you can always put a different sight on. The belt magazine works great. I haven't had any issues with it, and it's actually very easy to work with. While this may not be a minute of angle bench rest gun, it works great as a minute of tin can rifle from a standing position.

    Things I liked:

    More accurate than I expected. It's not an FX impact, and everyone says this is just for plinking, and that's my main use. But I have a small 8 inch metal plate at 50 yards, and I can hit it almost every time from a standing position (red dot mounted). Zero'd for 10 yards but it hits at 50 as if zero'd there. I would expect more drop, friggin amazing. Shoots very well with cheap Crossman pellet ammo. AR feature duplication is very good, so I use it as a training gun for my "real" AR, but with practically zero ammo costs. It's good to stay nimble with all the AR functions and we are all reluctant to shoot a lot given the price of "real" AR ammo. So this is the way to go. Only thing it does not have is a chamber slot to view loading status, or a working bolt-hold-open feature. But neither of those make sense to have on a pellet gun. Every other AR feature actually works (charging handle, mag release, safety, etc), and they are positioned like a real AR. Again, excellent training aid

    Things I would have changed:

    A bit heavy, but not too bad.

    What others should know:

    I expected to hate the trigger pull, but it's not bad. And I expected to encounter multiple jams, but so far after 200 rounds I had one jam (the pellet position slipped a bit inside the magazine). Just pulled the mag, knocked out the pellet and reinserted the mag and kept shooting. You really can pull the trigger very fast and shoot lots of shots fast, so it's amazing how fast you'll use up pellets. I bought two extra mags for that reason. I might get more mags.

    Things I liked:

    Build quality is excellent. A top shelf "fun gun". Cans don't stand a chance with this rifle around.

    Things I would have changed:

    Because the trigger cycles a 30 round belt, the pull is necessarily stout. Because the pellets get forced into the bore from the belt, don't expect match accuracy. The bore is nicely rifled and by removing the magazine and loading pellets 1 shot at a time, accuracy can be improved significantly-but this is not an easy process, and makes the gun much less fun to shoot overall.

    What others should know:

    Use care to not over tighten the bolt in the shoulder piece the attaches to the rear of the air bottle-this is the weak spot of the rifle-over tightening will crack the stock. Truly a fun rifle-stock up on pellets.

    Things I liked:

    There's one thing I like. That is the look and feel of the weapon. Looks nice. But looks are deceiving. Right from the start, problems. Receiver for air bottle was loose inside body of rifle, could move it back-and-forth with my finger almost half of an inch back and forth inside of rifle housing. Screwed in the air bottle, it wobbled back-and-forth and you could turn it side to side when fully seated and screwed in. Once bottle was aired, rifle would not hold air, it bled air at a tremendous rate, never put one round through the weapon. So Disappointing.

    Things I would have changed:

    Everything. One massive waste of my time and money. I thought Sig Sauer could do much better than that. Main reason I bought it was because it was a Sig And I knew the quality would be top notch. Boy was I wrong. Never got to put one round through weapon. Returned it for a full refund along with hand pump. What a waste.

    What others should know:

    If you do decide to get one of these, definitely get a warranty, definitely pay for the 10 for $10. That way at least someone can check for Quality & fit and finish before it's sent to you. I wish I would've done that. I really looked forward to owning this and having some fun with it, now I don't think I'll ever deal with these people again, how can you trust them after this ? I'm not the only one, there's many reviews online and YouTube about this exact same problem wobbly air bottle and leaking air internally. Would've had better satisfaction taking $500 cash burying it in a can in my backyard and then going out later that month and digging it back up. Roflmao.

    Things I liked:

    Looks cool, feels right, Easy to fill with air from a tank. OK for plinking, as long as the targets are not too small.

    Things I would have changed:

    The magazine hangs up internally sometimes. You have to remove the mag and move the position of the belt, re-insert the mag and continue. Accuracy is poor. It prints the same wild patterns no matter what pellet I use. Every 2 to 5 shots is a flier, inches off center. The fliers go in all directions, patterns like a shotgun even at 15 yards. Cleaning the barrel did not help. The magazine belt has teeth that hold the pellets in place. These teeth make deep marks on the pellet when loading. It is possible that this is at least part of the problem. I am determined to work out the issues, as this product is quite unique in the airgun world.

    What others should know:

    DonnyFL makes a moderator adapter for this. When used with their FX 5" moderator the gun is silent. All you hear are the action and the pellet hitting the target. The accuracy issues are not affected by using the moderator. The aftermarket 1st Strike floating buttstock fits, but the air reservoir on this gun must be fatter than the ones used by paintball guns, as that stock fits so tight that it can not be removed. Regardless, the stock improves the appearance of this rifle.
