looks like it's got a gamo style trigger on it and says it has weaver style scope rails.

I seem to recall one of the GTA members saying they owned one, I just can't remember who it was.  Hopefully they'll chime in.  

Looks just like a GAMO shadow clone to me.  I've looked at it before on Sportsmansguide, it's been around awhile..... Might have possibilities.

I believe I remember it being talked about as well, but it didn't turn out to be a Shadow clone. It was a Turkish made piece. Hatsan I believe?  Closer to the powerline/winchester 1000x

I think it might be "Old Hunter" who has one.  For some reason I think I remember him saying he had one....

I think Derekmcminn has one of these, but he has the 'chrome' version. I believe he said it was a Hatstan make too. They had them for sale at Academy Sports $80 last fall,...but the last time I checked,...they were marked up to about $130. Another Gamo clone. tjk

Hatsan could be interesting rifle, but they have very bad barrel quality problems.

Hope I am not to late with this post.  Yes, I had one and sent it back. It is Turkish and the worst air gun I ever ordered. I never had to return an air gun but this one I did. Could not get the piston seal to stay on the piston. Even tried an expensive third party seal. It had more problems than I can list. This one had every problem a rifle could have, honestly. I don't think you want to hear any more about it..... Frank

I mentioned earlier barrel quality problems. I found this picture showing Hatsan bore:

They must have their own "secret barrel making method".
