Out of my 3 PCP rifles the Chief in 22 caliber is my go to PCP. I'm stacking it up against my M-Rod, DISCO and has-been MROD-Air Varmint all in 22 caliber which the problems over rode all the good aspects it. The Chief is by far the better looking due to stock and bluing. Accuracy for all 3 PCP were very similar. M-Rod did have the best trigger, For my taste the trigger on the M-Rod has not been adjusted from factory settings. Other 2 needed their share of tinkering to get them to my liking.Weight wise the M-Rod was the heaviest by 2-4 lbs. DISCO was the cheapest looking in all departments. There was nothing that made it really stand apart from the rest.
Pros
Trigger on M-Rod was best.
Varmint was lightest.
Chief was handsomest over all. Best combo in all departments.
All has good accuracy out to 35 yards due to the nature of them being PCP's.
Cons
Both DISCO and Chief had and still have a problem where the bolt pops up when shot.
Varmint had a real problem with seals needing replacing about 2 months of use. Not to mention the very poor alignment hole between transfer port and air tubing. Could not resolve the air leak due the alignment problem.
I haven't got to shoot this gun as much as my first PCP the Seneca Aspen but I was surprisingly impressed and very happy with how quick I was able to get this gun sighted in. I mounted a 4-16 X 40 scope, with side parallax adjustment, which I was sure of because I had used it on the Aspen. The batteries for my laser bore sight were dead so I took a chance. I garbed one of my favorite pellets (10.65 gr. H&N Baracuda) and from 50 feet shooting at a 5.5 X 5.5 inch target and I was on the paper. After about 12 shots sighting in I changed to a fresh target and to the 10.65 gr. Baracuda Match pellet. The next ten shots awed me. When shooting for accuracy I only shoot 2 pellets at the same point on the target. The next 5 two shot groups were all inside a pellet diameter off the mark and the second, follow up, shot hole joined with the previous shot. I thought shot #6 missed the target but after a closer look I could see it was what I can call a one holder.
Pros
Good looking. Not to hard to pump (pressure) up for this old man. 20 good shots between 1000 and 2000 psi.
Cons
The trigger is too heavy for me. When I am squeezing off a shot I can hear a tinging sound and sometimes a grinding sound in my right ear before the gun goes off. Sometimes I have to stop and restart the shot because trigger got too heavy. I don't mind a little slop in a trigger before finding the point of business but after that, a deep breath, an exhel, a "little" more pressure and the gun needs to go off. That's how you know you are in control.
