[QUOTE="Cotis, post: 5114409, member: 15478"] Finally got around to setting this rig up over the weekend. Had a few minor challenges. Overall I am impressed with the quality of the rifle, but two things slipped through QA. First - out of the box I noticed that the action would "rock" front to back within the stock. The action is held to the stock with a single hex bolt through the hand grip (much like an AR). Removed the action and noticed the wood where it mates to the action at the bolt was not perfectly flat. The sides were rounded preventing a "flat to flat" mating surface. A quick cleanup with a little dremel router bit and it was now solid as a rock. It comes with no air in the tank so I filled it up. Went to fire it and......nothing. Smacked the side of the stock and it went off. I noticed the transfer bar from the trigger to the sear (about 10" long) was loose. I tightened the rear nut on the bar about 3 turns and all was well. I like the scope for what it is. I had to level it in the mount and put some oil on the illumination dial on the side as it was impossible to turn. Had no trouble walking the pellet into a nice zero and proceeded to stack half a dozen of them inside a dime. I am really liking this rig! I need to get a good piece of metal pic rail for the bipod, the plastic one it ships with sucks and only attaches to the stock with a single center bolt - fail. And I need to get a new bipos, I am not keeping my $275 Atlas on this setup.
