The TF-15 I got from Compasseco was very dirty with manufacturing grease and handling.  I sent pics to them, and they said some do come through, since they dont open every box that they ship.  But it cleaned up really nice.  The stock has a nice gloss finish, and it is Really easy to cock.  The only complaint was the heavy creepy trigger, and loose breach block.  Polishing and lubing the sear, and tightning the pivot bolt made this gun into a nice smooth shooter.  Easily shoots ragged holes at 10m.   Was able to get mid 500 fps
with RWS meisters.

I bought the TF-15 for a project gun. Tuned it and made some mods including some trigger work. Like you said it shoots very well and is easy to cock. I am going to shoot bees with it this coming summer..:)

The absolute best buy is a Daisy 1000. Academy Sports will run them on sale for $49. Mine is a true 1,000 fps cannon. It is my favorite woods gun. The triggers have been vastly improved.
