Steve77, trigger is heavy, but a nice two stage trigger, pretty crisp, you know when it will fire.
GroundSweeper, it's not super quiet, but not nearly as loud as a 22 rimfire. No regulations on guns like this here, firearms are pretty regulated, lots of hoops to jump through to get a permit but it is possible. From the people I have been talking to it seems many folks here are getting away from powder burners because of expense and just general bs if you are ever questioned by authorities. Most people who hunt here go for small game, and a nice pcp rifle will cover all those very well.
The shop I go to hear has been very helpful and really connected me with a community of enthusiasts, there are competitions almost every week, I just need a bit more time behind the scope before I get involved with that...
