Its accuracy and stock.

Sometimes less power is for better. Price too high.

Might be heavy for some. It is the FAC version, it is power and a bit loud for indoor or backyard... Consider changing spring for 12ft/lb.

Accuracy is very good.Looks are great. Trigger is excellent.

This thing weights a ton.Lighten it up.A lighter version would be awesome.

Very hard to cock.Bench rest would be fine but carry in the woods.To darn heavy.

balance and accuracy

not anything

of all springers i've shot this one stands out, beautiful too!

Pretty much everything. Balances well. Fit and finish top notch. wonderful accuracy.

stiff and slightly rough cocking effort may get better as gun breaks in.

This is the 3rd Pro Sport that I have owned in my lifetime. I liked the first one so much that I bought a second one. The second was not as good as the first so I sold it. Always loved the look and balance of it over the TX. Was concerned that because this was the last one in stock when I ordered it (the walnut version) that the previous buyers may have gotten the pick of the litter and I would end up with a not so nice one, but I was wrong. Kudos to Pyramyd for the packing and delivery effort. The Stock was wonderfully figured. Being a stock maker, I rate Walnut from 1 to 5 with 5 being a exhibition grade. I would rate this about a 3 as it has figure from the butt to the end of the stock but the figure gets more subtle as it goes from the butt. The walnut was well worth the $$ upgrade. Put on a Burris 4-12 compact scope in BKL rings and zeroed it and proceeded to hit pellet sized targets at 30 yards with it.

The Accuracy Weight Balance and Power. I dont think they could have gotten it any more right for me. It is a hefty rifle but the balance is perfect. It is not hold sensitive at all and shoots almost like it is tuned rifle straight out of the box.The accuracy is excellent @ 35 yards 5 shot groups can be completely covered with a dime. The rifle shoots the H&N 14.66 @ 720 fps avg. for 16.88 ft/lbs and CHP 14.3 @ 728 fps avg. for 16.83 ft/lbs. This is after about 200 shoots. What I was amazed by was that this rifle shoots faster than my TX 200 MK lll which shoots 14.66 @ 690 . Also the shrouded barrel does a pretty good job of holding the sound to a minimum. With that said most springers are fairly loud due to the shot cycle more so than the muzzle report. But I consider it back yard friendly. Hope everyone finds this imformation helpful.

Nothing at all.

I wish I had bought the Pro Sport first as I have been searching for the perfect Springer. I will be purchasing a .177 in the near future. That will bring my collection to 14.

My ProSport is a 12 ft-Lbs version in .177 caliber, walnut stock. I purchased it last year in Europe. It is NOT a U.S. version with a 12 ft-Lbs tune kit installed. The walnut stock is beautiful and the metal bluing is deep and rich. The gun is much easier to cock than the U.S. version. I even compare it to my Diana 34 which has a much longer 19.5 cocking lever vs. my Pro Sport with a 13”, the Pro Sport is significantly easier to cock. The ease of cocking allows me to use it as an all day plinker. This is the easiest cocking spring gun I own so far. Firing cycle of the Pro Sport is a “thump”, no buzzing and no “twang” sound. So far this gun is shooting 0.25” groups at 25 yards. This gun is quiet (backyard friendly).

Make the gun at least half pound lighter. Make the handle of the cocking lever more comfortable.

JSB Exact 8.4 grains average 755.9 fps (10.66 ft-Lbs).

I can see why people like this gun. In addition to its good looks, sleek lines and a hidden under lever, it is supremely well balance, better balance than any spring air rifles Ive tried. The gun is exactly 9 Lbs but it doesn’t feel heavy like a 9 Lb gun should be, even when you are shooting in the off-hand position.

Beautiful solid airgun that shows high build quality from the box. This rifle lives up to its reputation as one of the best spring guns currently made.

The gun is a bit heavy but balances very well and it's solid quality and weight aid in its accuracy .

Earlier models had some issues with the cocking arm falling free but this appears to have been corrected.

Almost everything. It just comes to aim so naturally and is such a pleasure to shoot. Very accurate. Very nice build quality.

I would have rounded the corners on the cocking lever, and it would be nice to see a tuned gas piston.

It is heavy, but feels very solid and the weight is centralized making it quick. I am using Air Arms Field Pellets, and it is amazing. You really do get a fantastic rifle.

Power-full.

Stock could use some oil its really dull. The bluing is not as nice as I have been told. fine scratches and appears to be machine marks that they blued over, not impressed at all. May return.

Great looking rifle, stunning walnut stock, deep bluing that shines almost purple blue, (deeper bluing that anything i have seen ) , trigger is great , checkering is stunning, well balanced , easy to change the internals. Accuracy is phenomenal, beaten a walther dominator at 50m and beats my home made baikal izh60 pcp every time. this is serious bit of kit, was worrying about handle but do not worry about it it is well made and not going to break anytime soon.

pistol grip can be little vertical and slimmer and little light weight overall, (gun weights 4kg without scope) but they cannot cater to everyones liking can they

This is beautiful piece of kit i bought one after longing for one for 6 years and it was delivered to my home country quickly which is other side of the globe. After first handling my first impression was how beautiful this rifle and i was surprised how heavy it was. And i immediately checked for the cocking handle thinking i wouldnt manage it but it wasn't that hard in fact it was quite easy once you get the gripe of it. Only complaint was after few hundred shots brand new barrel sleeve started walking loose but being a tinkerer myself epoxied properly and surprised to find how little epoxy they put from the factory. Apart from that little disappointment the rifle grew on me day by day and i absolutely love it now. Dropped 6 magpies in one go and one was as far as 70meters, broken bottles 90m etc, you can only imagine the grin on my face when i shoot this gun. Walnut stock was a bit dull but 5 coats of true oil sorted it when was applied brand new. I recommend this
