Hi:
I just got one from Compasseco. It was on sale, but probably still overpriced. It is the same as the QB-88 with, in my opinion, a very nice stock. It's a real step up in looks from the QB-88. The checkering is realy quite good, better than on a Gamo 440. It also has an automatic safety. I'm not crazy about automatic safeties in general, but i guess on a side lever it may provide that little bit of extra finger protection. It has fibre optic sights and a somewhat Star Wars muzzle brake. Would prefer plain but not a deal breaker.
It's got to be the least expensive rifle on the market with a decent checkered stock. It's a real nice looking gun and mine is as accurate as my QB-88. I added a %%*^(()*)%$*% trigger insert, followed his instructions to the letter, and it produced a wonderful trigger. Definately a keeper. I now see that the tuna trigger will also fit as long as you let Charlie know that it's a Chinese Gamo clone, he will provide a different pin to fit.
Was originally looking at their TF-97 with the newer checkered stock. Called several times and they were out of stock. Seems like they have arrived but they are no longer on sale. Go fugure. I was assured by a CSR that the price would be the same when they got them. I'll just have to wait for another sale I guess.
Cheers,
Fatman
