Not exactly a true replica, but made by the maker of the real steel powder burner
Sig Virtus PCP
I've read quite a bit on these over the time they've been out, and they always seemed a bit lacking and a few issues noted
But I got chance to shoot this bank holiday monday and was quite taken with it
Its actually very good
Trigger is much as you'd expect, for one that cycles the mag, but in action, on rapid fire, it puts pellets quite close to each other. Easy to shoot too and from standing, the trigger is almost forgotten about
This one differs from the out of the box rifle, in that its' had rather a nice black spray job (rather than OE grey)
Trigger has had a mod too. They very unthoughtfully removed a reset spring on the trigger, from these, for the uk, needing the trigger to be pushed forward after every shot. This fires as it should and it can't half send a lot of pellets downrange in short order.
Being .22, it could eat a lot of costly lead, but with a big smile
So yes, not a real replica, but a very credible shooter, so I'd say it stacks up for that.
It will sit nicely alongside my Gen 1 TYPE 56 AK
Making circa 9ftlb with every pellet I can find to put through it, with muzzle velocities increasing with light pellets.
Hobby touching 600fps
And its regged too, with approx 120 shots per 200 bar fill
Looking forward to testing further. I'd imagine scoped at 20-25 yards, it should be pretty good
