I purchased one also, received it yesterday. It does have some droop, I installed a scope and was able to adjust it out. I lubed it also and shot several hundred pellets through it. It feels allot better now then when first out of the box. Also, sounds better, allot better. Through the chrony I average out about 550 fps. It likes RWS pellets the best. With the scope it weighs under six pounds, five pounds 12 ounces to be exact. I kind of like it. Easy to cock and light weight. I see on the Russian Web site they are making one with a futuristic stock. Don't know if it will ever make it over here.. FN

I LIKE VARNISH I USED TO WORK IN A BOAT YARD 12 COATS OF VARNISH SANDED WITH 400 GRIT PAPER BETWEEN COATS THATS HOW THE SPORT FISHING BOATS HAVE SUCH A SUPER VARNISH JOB LOTS OF WORK AND VERY COSTLY BUT IT'S WORTH IT TOUCH UP IS JUST A LIGHT SANDING WITH 400 AND A NEW COAT OF VARNISH .IVE GOT ABOUT 4HRS IN THIS NOW AND I'VE NEVER BUILT A STOCK BEFORE BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW IT WOULD COME OUT AND HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO DO.IT IS KIND OF A NEAT PROJECT.WORKING ON WOOD BOATS IS AWAYS A CHALLENGE YOU HAVE TO MATCH THE TRIM THAT IS NOT STANDARD AND IT MUST BE MADE FROM SCRATCH .
