    my review is in the 'review section' lol...imo i cant think of any other rifle thats as accurate/pleasure to shoot as the huntsman classic in that price range or indeed costing alot more £££.the build quality is usuall daytate,customer service/warrenty(5 years)is sublime as though nothing ever goes wrong(its a daystate!)its nice to know that on the rare occasion something does give a problem then they dont put up barriers or stall...they simply fix it,test it and get it back to you within days!
    Its hard to put into words,but when using friends guns of various makes i always enjoy handing them back and picking my'state'up again as it simply feels 'nice',cant explain it but it simply fits,exudes quality and is a joy to hold and use...then when you shoot it you know you are going to hit whatever it is you aim at...gets a little boring at times putting pellet on pellet but thats the quality of the gun...and eveyone thats used mine(and mines a left handed)even when finding the stock awkward firing'right handed'have all gone on to either buy one or start saving lol

    I too have the Huntsman classic and praise it enough, tried quite few PCP's and nothing else fit's like my Huntsman, small,light,handles real nice and is deadly accurate and looks the part too. Have had a problem with the bolt pin and had to go back to them but they arranged collection for it repaired it did an upgrade while it was with them and it was back in my hands in four days no scratches knocks or anything had no problems with it since. What more can you ask for than that. Steve
