Thanks, Chris! That is a nice list to have.
I've also heard that the Benjamin Marauder is pretty quiet in stock form, it is reasonably priced, and it's possible to add a custom laminate stock from Boyd's for not a huge outlay of cash. I'm not sure about the pumping part, however.
Good news on the quiet. I can't tell if your rifle has a built in suppressor or if that bulge is just decoration; if the latter, I assume the low report is because of the relatively low muzzle velocity. I've seen pics of after market suppressors added to rifles and that seems to make a package...
OK just so I understand, you are saying that the 88 gram CO2 cartridge gets inserted and removed for each shooting session and it has a seal that keeps it from leaking? Thanks!
Very nice write up.
Can you comment on the noise level? How does it compare to the HW30?
From my (very) limited understanding of PCPs, apparently some are much more “pump friendly” than others, and that one should be aware of this when choosing if they want to avoid SCUBA tanks, compressors...
I don’t know a lot about CO2 so let me ask......
I’m under the impression that a partially-full CO2 cartridge should not be left in the gun due to seal damage. If that is true, it would be a $16 cartridge commitment every shooting session whether it’s 250 shots or 25.
Is that right?
Where did you find threaded 1/2" galvanized pipe in the correct length? The local Lowe's only shows 30" which seems too short or 36" which seems too long.
You might find this useful or inspirational if you are going the DIY route. I have gone back and forth about trying to build it myself but the cost of components has gone up significantly since this post was written plus my woodworking skills are minimal if any. Substituting PVC could cut the...
I like the versatility of the bungee cord. Seems like it would fit regardless of how long or how short the stock is.
I see that as a potential problem with the link I posted. Their racks use cutout holes, and it seems like depending on the height of the center pole some guns might not fit.
I...
I'm posting to see if anyone can provide feedback on any of the various rotating long gun racks. This one in particular looks pretty good, but I haven't been able to find any feedback from owners:

Amazon sells one that looks like it would work, labelled Winchester...
Lucky Gunner did a review of the Kimber and kind of trashed it. It surprised me as I've always thought Kimber made great products (although I've never seen one of the K6s in person).
You are right about dry firing. I would have never believed how effective it is until I actually tried it.
I still want to add airsoft or BB or whatever for some variety and the fun factor.
I enjoyed your detailed post. Can you elaborate a little on the above comment re airsoft compared to your Glock BB pistol? I've been wanting to set up an indoor range and had decided on airsoft as I read somewhere that the Japanese airsoft pistols tend to be better made and more reliable than...
Beautiful rifle! Thanks for the report and photos, although I'm disappointed that we won't be hearing about the Urban Pro as that is one that really appeals to me.
Thanks for the scope info. I tend to favor higher powered scopes in general so I wouldn't want to be buying the scope only to discard it for something else. I love the look of that laminated stock and it sounds like a really nice rifle. I don't know if the moderator accomplishes anything but...
