Stoeger S4000-E impressions

[Col. Harrumph]

I can't remember what I was scrolling Gunbroker for, but this caught my eye, and for $230 with shipping I thought, why not? (and I wasn't even looking for an air gun.)

(Pic is from Stoeger's catalog. Mine has a dark grey stock, I don't care for camo.)
It took about 20 shots to get the crosshairs on the "bullet" holes, but seems pretty accurate so far. The scope is not mounted at the mill, so some assembly required. Over all I'm quite pleased with it. It does take some effort to cock the break-barrel, so this is not a child's gun; the stock is adult-sized. My only issue is the trigger, which is a bit heavy and has a loooong pull. But for $200 plus shipping, I can't really call it a complaint. Oh, it's a .22 and the suppressor is quite effective.

UPDATE: the scope is about useless; the reticle adjustment is random.

Update no. 2: Disregard my criticism of the scope. I need to address my shooting technique; I suck with the iron sights too. The spring piston's recoil is wildly different from a normal firearm and I do not yet have good control of the surprisingly vigorous muzzle rise.

I bought one a 22 on Amazon for $200. I like it, the squirrels hate it. It seems to be worth the price I have not mounted the scope I just use the fiber optic sights. It is pretty quite and reasonable accurate. It is pretty hard to cock.
