You'll find that the overall standard of the metalwork is not as good as the BAM offerings & needs a little more TLC to keep the rust at bay.
The wood on the stock is a tad soft & prone to nicks
The trigger is non-adjustable but not that bad.
Being in the UK, your will have a different set of internals, but mine are (ahem) no longer the original standard.
Accuracy is pretty much spot on, but it's quite a heavy gun, so not something to lug around in the field for too long.
It's a competent gun, but I reckon you'll soon be comparing it to your other underlever (your B40) & noticing the big difference in quality.

I have one and love it. to get the most out of it will take some TLC. The spring broke after a thousand or so pellets, but with a replacement and a polish and lube it shoots like a dream. Accurate and powerful!

QB36-2 is the same thing, I enjoyed my .177. It is indeed a heavy gun. Polishing the crown with brass screw and toothpastemade anaccuracy improvement. I have never gotten into the internals, except for some trigger smoothing. It was also pretty powerful, and has just been neglected for newer toys.
