Good Points

light weight, stylish wallnut skeleton stock. 8 shot magazine, very accurate, superb handling, comfortable to hold and easy to hold on target.

Bad Points

relatively low shot capacity. Safety catch positioned along side trigger-(bit risky?)

General Comments

I have owned a falcon raptor 12 light hunter for about a month now, and so far I am very impressed by it's performance. It is extremely accurate, and thanks to it's light weight and short length, lovely and easy to handle. It is easy to use up lots of pellets down at the local club and the rifle produces nice tight groups at 25 yards. It is easy to refill the cylinder using the quick fill silencer/adaptor combo, but the rifle has a relatively small shot capacity of about 40 shots at full power. The falcon is definately an eye catcher and has received lots of attention at the club. I would recommend this gun for vermin hunters who do not need such a large shot capacity. So far I have achieved best results using crosman accupells, but eley wasps work well too. The magazine is too short however, to accomodate prometheus Z2 pellets.

Total Respect: +2
