After hearing through the airgun grapevine hehehe that this "MONSTER" was for sale and I've been wanting one for many moon's I jumped on it. Now this one is special, she's from across the pond and she came tuned with the legendary GOLD TRIGGER!. The Gentleman that had her is also a special friend and a GREAT GUY! and I was surprized that she was up for sale. So we set up a deal and she would soon be on her way here and today she came to the Post Office on my lunch break. I almost left work early just to get home and open the box but finished out the day like a good worker and ran every stop light out of town to get home after work. Upon opening the box I found that "Gene" of "AirGunToys"
had wrapped her up nice and snug in a Daina airgun box and slid her into another box with more padding, perfect.
Now she's out and I'm looking her over, what a fantastic looking shooter, the wood on the stock is superb and the blueing very nice and I couldn't find a flaw anywhere.
I wiped her down gently with a tear in my eye hehehe and yes I had to shoot her. With my new pellet trap box set up in the house I grabbed a couple Predators and headed into the living room, wifes at work hehe. Cocking is everything that they claim but to me that say's MORE POWER!
but smooth to cock and quiet do to the great tune. Predater slid in nicely like it was ment to be, closed her up and put the open sight's on the bullseye 18yrds away.Trigger pull, perfect and I didn't expect anything less and with that sent the Predator away. WHACK!
hmmm The firing cycle WOW! very smooth with no sound at all from the internals only a slight kick from her. I'm so impressed with this shooter and once again didn't expect anything less coming from Gene.
I did find out that I need to upgrade my target box though, the Predator went through 2in. of ply and is now somewhere in my laundry room wall hehehe. I will give a further review of her which I know by my first impressions will be A+ and just wait for the hunt review, run varment's run!. I would like to thank my AIRBUD and very good friend Gene for the fine, fantastic unreal airrifle and most of all his kind and friendly way that he does business. Truly a one of a kind man.
Oh you all want to see a pic of her, ok. Ed
