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
