    Things I liked:

    Lot's of power....

    Things I would have changed:

    Improve quality. It is certainly not made by Sig Sauer or Heckler & Koch. Bolt was loose right out of the box, had to use epoxy to tighten it up. Butt of gun became loose after about three weeks of owning it... Shouldn't have to do these things after paying alot of money for this gun.

    Things I liked:

    Power of this gun is out of this world. more powerful than my 22LF.I like the price of this gun, performance compared to other expensive ones. I like the look, the wood and it just amazing

    Things I would have changed:

    It would be good to have it a little more quiet and have a maqazine instead of just a single shot. The Benjamin Rogue is quiet, may be they can use the same technology

    What others should know:

    This is the go to gun for hunting medium game. 60lbs game is downed with no problem

    Things I liked:

    An exceptionally fun and excellent air gun. It is also as serious as almost any firearms - capable of taking any game or varment I hunt. Capable of distance shooting on a par with most any firearm. No recoil worth mentioning. A great sound - sort of like a 38 special if I had to put a sound level on it, but it has a really cool sound of it's own which I really like. Metal finish is very good but a little fragile. Wood is good looking and well done. Checkering is very good and does help with gripping gun firmly. The iron sight is exceptional and easy to sight in and use - a really great sight - unlike almost all air guns and many firearms sights. Seems to hold sighting in well. The low pressure setting is good for just about anything and consurves air. High pressure setting is good at 100 yards plus and will take down almost any North American animal or varment. By attaching a U.T.G.11 mm. to Weaver adapter it will accept full size or compact scopes. Does very nicely with a 3X-12X Leapers scope - full size or compact. Capable of extreme accuracy, excellent penetration, and knock down power with Air Venturi hollow points. Receiver of Recluse is excelently etched Recluse with webb and well done stamping. Overall it is a very pretty air gun. It is a big gun and looks like it shoots. It is a heavy gun weighing around 8 pounds. With all the gear I put on mine it runs about ten and a half pounds - about like a good target rifle similarly equipted will run.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make it in stainless. Make a longer wooden forearm. Put sling hardware on it.

    What others should know:

    It is a relatively new inovation in guns and may have an issue or two which don't go well. However Pyramid service center will help you with it, and it is well worth any detail which needs attention. My valve was stuck in open position, but service department took care of it and I have had no problems since. Break in is a bit stiff, but if you like shooting yours as much as I do mine it will not take too long. Short tactical spring bipod will help out gun control a lot with bench rest or prone positions which are about all I shoot from - unless I get surprized. Without any extra gear on it will handle about like a Browning double. Side lever makes this a very safe gun because you don't need to cock it until you actually need it. I use it for about everything. It is a hard gun to put down or put in the closit for long.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing. The Sam Yang Company, truly has this correct from head to toe. Why use a Scope. Way too much fun, without one!

    Things I liked:

    If this is the 9mm i cant imagine the power of the .45 & .50 these guns are cannons meant for big game. dont shoot them in your back yard or you will promply hear sirens. the reclyse is beautiful the steel and wood work inpecable. a very good buy for hunting larger animals than say rabbits which will be disintegrated if you shoot them with the recluse.

    Things I would have changed:

    noting- maybe the cocking bolt for a better grip.

    What others should know:

    you get the BANG for your bucks with this one- not bad idea to have a air hog 4500 psi as source.

    Things I liked:

    the fit and finish are excellent, cg balance right at the bipod mount.

    Things I would have changed:

    pistol grip would be nice, add a muzzle break as this gun does have a kick!

    What others should know:

    this gun will shoot .5 cal. powerbelts but they are 3-4x the cost of lead.

    Things I liked:

    gun feels nice well balanced , it is a nice looking gun, shoots pretty accurately if you use right ammo,

    Things I would have changed:

    make sights easily removed so a scope can mounted easier, make a muzzlebrake available as gun is loud

    What others should know:

    this gun likes the heavier pellets better than light ones, you can also shoot regular lead cast bullets , i shoot a 38 cal .358 diameter 148 grain wadcutter, the gun loves them, they do fit snug ,do not attempt to shoot any jacketed ammo from this gun, , a scuba tank is almost mandatory unless your into major physical fitness ,the gun is a beast and eats lots of air .overall i would recommend this gun

    Things I liked:

    The rifle is very well balanced, has a really nice feel. The machine work is great, with no rough edges for cleaning patches to snag on. The wood work is some of the finest. Checkering is clean and tasteful.

    Things I would have changed:

    On my rifle the rear sight has to be adjusted quite far to the left for a center line shot at 100 feet using the 70 gr round nose pellets. Also the same results using the H&N round ball pellets.

    What others should know:

    I shot about 35 rounds through this gun at full power with a full charge of air, and this gun does not like light pellets. I recharged to 200 bar, and shot ten pellets, five round balls, and five hollow base pellets, at reduced power, and the gun loves this. So I would recommend using a heavier pellet. I'm going to try 100 gr hollow base pellets next. I was ready to return this gun for a refund, and the way Pyramyd Air responded gets my hat off to them. Just simply put, they are a wonderful company to deal with. I believe this gun was worth the wait.
