Don,,for a third of the $1700 you can buy an Infinity & don't have to do any mods to it!!!!! Most people think because they are made in Korea that they are not good,,,,that is so far from the truth,,I think the Condor is an awesome gun,,I just don't understand all the extra money put into them so that they shoot better,when they are already good shooters,,my philosophy is,why put $1200 into a $500-$600 gun when for the same $1700 you can buy a nice,,FX,,,Daystate,,,Theoben, etc. etc. & not lose value when you decide to sell it!!!! No matter what you do,you cannot make a Porsche out of a Toyota!!!!!! The Infinity is a great shooter with great accuracy & it's a good-looking gun!!!! This is why airgun addiction is a beautifull thing,,we all have different opinions but all suffer from the madness!!! LOL!!! GOOD LUCK!!
