I have wanted this one for months and after reading reviews on PyramidAir and some Youtube videos ( mostly in German w/o translation),I bought it. Please check those out as I won't cover most of it here.The finish is great. When you open the box you will find a coating of what seems to be silicone which can be removed with a cloth. Even after, this gun is prone to smudges but this does not take away from its good looks. I installed my usual $10.00 laser from Ebay which I have on all my airguns. The top rail seems to be just a smidgen less than 11mm. I put a piece of black tape on the rail so that it won't slip on the smooth surface and rail edges.I don't see a need to buy the pricey rail for optics that they advertise for my indoor shooting. The surface has a nice sheen so you may want to wipe it down after a session.The overall size and weight seems identical to the 715 steel BB revolver which I reviewed several months ago.
Pellets are fitted into the rear of the cartridges and this can be done while they are in the cylinder. I will never use the speed loader. Expect 72-76 accurate shots from a CO2 caplet.I will use a common allen wrench instead of fiddling with the enclosed one in the grip. I am certain that the 715 is capable of excellent accuracy as my first 2 sessions have shown me. Each gun requires its own handling technique which I am still to perfect with this one which is quite hefty.

I bought from Ark Army Surplus store in Toronto which seems to have the best price for an in- stock item. As other forum members who have shopped there can tell you, they have a selection of most of the popular airguns. Their website does not show everything and best to call ahead to ensure they have stock. They have a no refund, no replacement policy BUT you may test the actual gun that you have promised to buy ( there may be exceptions). So far, I am pleased!
