Truly an awesome hunting rifle at a price that's almost unbelievable! Includes the new Quattro trigger!

  • Breakbarrel rifle
  • Muzzlebrake adds cocking leverage
  • Mossy Oak Break-Up synthetic stock
  • Monte Carlo buttstock has a raised cheekpiece
  • Checkered forearm & grip
  • Adjustable rubber buttpad has 3 inserts
  • TruGlo fiber optic sights (rear is fully adjustable)
  • Scope base accepts Weaver and 11mm dovetail optics mounts
  • The manufacturer says it takes 27 lbs. of cocking effort, but our tests indicate it's closer to 43 lbs.
  • Includes unmounted 3-9x44AO blue-illuminated scope with duplex reticle & matte finish + scope mount
  • NEW! SAS (shock absorber system) installed. Prevents scope mounts from loosening due to vibration and transmits less vibration to the shooter.
Here are some stats with different pellets:

.22 caliber:
11.9-grain lead pellet = 985 fps (26.61 ft-lbs)
14.5-grain lead pellet = 911 fps (26.46 ft-lbs)

.25 caliber:
17.0-grain lead pellet = 766 fps (22.13 ft-lbs)
27.0-grain lead pellet = 651 fps (25.38 ft-lbs)
31.0-grain lead pellet = 607 fps (25.34 ft-lbs)

Of course, lighter-weight pellets will give you greater velocities than we got in our tests.

Great solid gun.

Overall everything. out of the box I had to put a round in and shoot the thing. I was impressed! Half inch off center no scope.it takes a bit to site in the scope. However any pellet you want to shoot seems to do well-time will tell the best one. I work so much I havent been hunting yet I,ll let you know what I find on that one.

The stock it feels cheap. It may be ok in the long run. Time well tell.

Dont be in a rush to center your shoots! get to know the gun. it wont let you down.

The look and feel of a real rifle. So far above average accuracy for an out of the box air rifle. I've only ran about 50 pellets thru it so far, and i'm getting quarter size groups at 13 yards. I bought the 22 cal. and am very happy with the power, and velocities so far. My Chrony is matching the velocities in the description of the gun, on Pyramyd's web site.

Nothing so far.

As with any new air rifle, patience and pellets will tell the story of an accurate gun. This gun is not the easiest to cock, and would not be recomended for younger shooters. It has a bit of a kick, and takes a bit of getting used too. I will probably convert mine to a Nitro Piston before too long, just for ease of shooting and recoil. My gun so far likes Gamo Master Points 16.2 gr.

I was really impressed with this air rifle . It has a good feel and is quite accurate . I sighted the scope at 30 yrds and mine will hold 5 rnd strings inside a dime with no problem . The scope seems to be of decent quality and has held zero so far (200 rnds). The scpoe is clear and bright and the lighted reticle is a nice bonus . The only problem I had was positioning the scope far enough back to suit my needs but worked it out and all is well now . With 14.3 grn .22 cal pellet I got 940 to 970 fps . With 21 grn it was around 770 fps . The air rifle is a bit on the heavy side but I'm use to that because I shoot M1As and FALs . I like the Falcon Hunter alot . It seems it'll be a good working/pest control rifle . I recommend it .

I had the iron sights all sighted in and lined up . The rifle fell about 3 feet to the concrete off the bench right on the sights . The plastic was scratched pretty good and thought I would be sighting in again . Took a shot and the sights were right where they sould be .
Now with the scratches , it has a little character .

Accuracy; the camo is nice, and it has lots of power. At 60yards, goes through 2-half-inch plywood squares with the Benjamin domed pellets; it is shooting 1/2 inch, 5 shot groups at 60 yards, and have only shot it about 40 times!

make the stock either out of wood or beef up the synthetic one; feels cheap, although have had no problems with it--did fill it up with expanding sealant, and it is alot quieter now.

have read complaints about scope working loose, so I used center point rings and REALLY tightened them up snugly with a socket wrench, and have had no slippage problems; as far as eye relief, I placed scope in the last weaver groove, and am not using the scope stop--no problems--just seems to work good with these rings tightened really super tight, and have ample eye relief.

accurate, im not as accurate as it is. the power is deadly. the gun is physically tough, ive taken mine apart dozens of times, and build a wood stock for it, and also mistakenly dry fired it more than once with NO drop in performance. Im not telling you that you should dry fire it of course, just that mine was not affected. this is an indication that it is overbuilt, imo. you can also replace a spring piston that is damaged with a nitro one. at least i think you can, because the damaged part would be the ram, and that is an internal piece.

The stock stock is a bit light and weak. also i wonder why the muzzle brake is so big. just wonder

if you build a wood stock for yours, make sure not to lose anything. also there are small washers in the main screw holes on the stock that can be used for a wood stock. the wood stock gives it a better balance, more rearward, so in fact makes it feel lighter, even thought its a bit heavier.

Power, accuracy, Heft,, Balance, even though its heavy

Hard to call a shot standng with the scope, even before it broke.

Be smart don't scope this gun it shoots fine with open sights It totally destroyed the scope that came with it so I put on a red/green dot it totaly destroyed the mounts and they were made to the scope no cheap scope a leapers totally destroyed the mounts of a centerpoint 3-16 x by the time I had it zeroed. The way I see it with the power it has ,if you cant shoot it with open sights, the prey is too small or too far away. I wish I could keep a scope on this gun but it aint happening for me. Im getting a talon magnum and im not even gonna scope it after all its the same gun in .22 only black instead of mobu .These guns are very accurate but the recoil even with the NP I have a friend with one is too much for a scope. With the first scope first the rear seal broke but it held zero then the optics light quit working later fell off and finally the windage crapped out if anyone knows a way to overcome the stupid not weaver not dovetail mounts tell me but I still think the recoil would destroy it I can hit a soda can 4 out of five times with open sights while standing at 100 ft. Relax aim squeeze hit LOL Im not lying but with a scope while standing I cant hold a shot and I plink with this gun 100 or so shots at a time so no im not a wimp hope this saves someone a scope the one that came with it would have worked great on a lesser gun

I had this same problem when I bought my first spring-piston air-rifle. My problem was that I mounted it too soon (i.e. prior to the "break-in" period, which was about 500 shots or more). I still like Iron/Fiber-Optic sites the best!
