It's beautiful.

The fit and finish on my rifle is not the same as my TX200 was. This rifle was a rush build and will either require I return to Pyramyd (likely with an ETA of replacement of forever due to stock) or fix the issues myself by buying a new stock and disassembling the rifle. The cocking action is very stiff when returning the cocking arm to the stock, nothing like the review videos I've seen. Hopefully this will loosen up over time, but between the fact that the cocking arm rubs the stock when returning the to the action and the stiffness. The screw taps are roughly done and not filed to remove shavings for the screws that hold the stock to the action, and I think the mounting arm where the stock attaches to the action is either slightly crooked or the stock was improperly made...either way I expect better for an $800 rifle. My barrel was very dirty, I'm wondering if mine was used and put back in a box for resale as new instead of refurb, as it took about 8 patches with Ballistol to clean.

Air Arms quality is slipping. Combine that with a recent price hike of $100 and you have a recipe for unhappy customers.

Looked good, felt like a regular rifle, excellent trigger. Only got one shot with it before it failed.

Cocker filed to return to locked position after first shot. Sending it back for warranty work since there are no more in stock. More later.

Finish ad wood detail is nice.

I receive two in row which would not go into battery after firing a dozen or so shots (wouldn't close completely). I did request to know what was wrong with them but never received a response. I have another underlever - a Hermann Weihrauch - so it''s not like I'm new to underlevers; I can't imagine this was any sort of user error.

Smooth shooting - VERY Accurate - Comes perfectly tuned out-of-the-box - Great 2-Stage Trigger - Beautiful walnut stock & bluing - Relatively quiet

Nothing to change unless you want to change the 'perfectness' of the rifle

It is a bit on the heavy side and bulky feeling, but that's what makes it what it is. It does balance nicely, though and is VERY accurate! A small 'learning curve' is needed to load the pellet, and if you have big fingers, and/or, you scope is too far forward, it makes loading a little more difficult.

well built , accurate and a real nice looking gun.

nothing, its perfect

its expensive but well worth every penny. i have about 5 gas ram rifles and they dont' even come close to the quality and accuracy of this rifle.

I tested my walnut prosport. 22. Mounted a mint Redfield 3x9 fine crosshair scope. At 40 yards, 3 shots on Terminator 16gr went on the same gong spot, and it is windy today. So, a tack driver on hunting pellets. Yep, a dream rifle if I ever shot one.

Nothing, but shipping department better tape better. Box was open at top, and looked like it had been kicked. Luckily it was double-boxed. No damages. No flaws. It's the prettiest air rifle I ever shot in 53 years of air riflery.

It is not a powerhouse spring-piston. It's a Rolls-Royce rifle. If you are a connoisseur of fine air rifles, then you will appreciate this rifle. I like 700fps on Spring-piston. I'd like 880fps better, but I have PCP rifles for power. This is a gentleman's air rifle.

She arrived in an open box at top, and a foot sized dent in the box. However, the Lord has blessed me with no damage found. I've never seen such a beautiful air rifle in my life. The wood grain on my stock is as nice as some of the prettiest models I've seen online. The blue looks like my 1961 Colt Python. That good. It is from polishing the metal out properly. Deep. Like seven coats of laquer on a hot rod. Old vintage Redfield scope blue matches rifle too. No matte finish scopes for a rifle of this quality. One piece mount. I feel very lucky today.

Nothing.

I'm going to zero the rifle after the wind dies down. I will elaborate on the performance at another time. It's prettier in hand than online. It is a dream rifle. Thank you Pyramid air. I know you guys are having a rough time with the scamdemic. The rifle escaped damage, and looks beautiful. I'm floored. You're the best!

I don't know whether the rifle had to be broken in, or I just had to learn how to shoot it, but not until after a thousand rounds did I begin to see accuracy that satisfied me. And after two thousand rounds the accuracy became superb, regularly yielding 1/4" (c-t-c) 5 shot groups at 35 yards. While it shoots most pellets well, I have settled on 14.3 gr Falcon pellets which also give superb accuracy in my FX Impact. Topped with an SWFA 16X42 scope it is now ready for the hunting seasons to open up. Everyone seems to rave about the fit and finish on the Pro Sport. I will agree that the finish is top shelf on both the wood and metal, the fit is just average mass-produced fair. The gun displays gaps between wood and metal around the barrel channel and uneven surfaces around the trigger guard. But then, nobody is asking custom prices for this gun. The checkering is beautiful, but too fine and uses flat top diamonds, yielding little effective increase in grip.

This gun needs to go on a serious diet (but then, so do I). When I first picked it up it felt like a cast iron baseball bat. The wrist is overly large and both forend and butt could stand some serious trimming. perhaps that mass in the wrist is necessary to withstand the stresses of cocking which is definitely not a job for the faint of heart. At 6' 3" and 300 pounds I certainly don't fall into the 98 pound weakling class, but the first time I cocked the gun, with the butt against my thigh, I didn't think I could manage to do it a second time. Now I accomplish the task by placing the butt on the ground, braced against the side of my left foot and using my body weight to easily depress the cocking lever. Earlier this week I managed over 400 rounds through this gun in one day, so obviously, cocking is no longer an issue. The trigger is not bad at all, but could be better; but I grew up on Anshutz's and Feinwerkbaus, so I guess I'm spoiled when it comes to triggers.

No matter how many airguns you own, this rifle could be the showpiece of your collection. It has the classic rifle profile with smooth pleasing lines rather than the futuristic angles and sharp corners seen on so many other airguns. The bluing, or blacking if you will, is flawless looking, as others have described it, like black glass - truly beautiful. It is heavy, so take care in your choice of scope. One of the 34mm tubed tactical scopes with steel rings could easily raise the package weight to almost 13 pounds (I don't know what that is in stones). Bottom line - this is an elegant design which has been beautifully manufactured with high quality exhibited in every part - an airgun you can take pride in for years to come - for you and and your grandchildren. Worth every cent.

Spectacular build quality, great looking gun, excellent trigger...

...very heavy gun, heavy cocking force, such a fine stock should get hand checkering?

Great air gun, U should buy one!

Pro Sport Fit and finish are second to none. The accuracy is excellent, 62yds with ease, JSB 14.3gr pellets. The Trigger at 1.5lbs and is two-stage. The underside cocking lever is easy to operate and allows for many shots before fatigue makes you stop shooting. The position of the loading port allows for easy loading, even with a Hawke 4-16 x50 scope. A set of SportMatch high rings are the ones to get and make use of the pinholes at the top of the receiver, stops ring slip. Get a Hawke and SportMatch high rings combo, there is about 1/4" space under the bell of the scope between the receiver. The medium rings are too short for the 50mm scope bell and will not allow for good cheek position/ stock weld due to the comb height. The 30mm tube diameter,15mm radius measurement, plus 18mm ring height, =33mm total from center of scope to the receiver. AKA: 8mm gap under the scope bell on the Pro Sport. The noise is back yard quiet, compared to my Air King loudness. Walnut stock great

It was hard to find out which scope and ring combo to get but the info above should help everybody. They should have suggested a ring and scope combo, for the Pro Sport, to help buyers get the correct combination and fit.

Accuracy is essential and the Pro Sport is great. Not the fastest on the chronograph but ease of cocking and accuracy is the best thing about this rifle.
