I purchased the lightning xl recently for £250 and a combo pack with a 3-9x50 hawke AirMax scope, pellets, mounts and bag for £60 more (city air weapons Lincoln). I mounted the scope and zeroed it at 25 yards in about 15 shots(.177) and found the range and accuracy amazing. The length is nice and manouverable not too short though and the cocking is smooth with the 'silencer' acting as a cocking aid. (I say 'silencer' because it's a springer, it's gonna be loud) all in all it's great the wood is nice and the chequering is delicate and the grip fits nicely in the hand, there's a slight groove for thumbs up grip. I prefer it to the tactical xl because the black poly stock gets sweaty and abbrasive and my friend had issues with it and had to return it.
