Does anyone have have any trigger time on one? Are they worth the money?

I had one from Airguns of Arizona (crooks), anyway it shot like a shotgun. I immediately called about the bad groups, and I tried everything they suggested. Long story short, it was a demo-return for the same issue, and they never fixed it. Then they tried to not honor the return policy, and I had to pay shipping both ways for a known defective product. The rifle is small and probably best for a kid or woman. I also have the MKIV-MCT and it feels and holds much better. I also have 2 Air Arms 500s and they also seem to be a better rifle. The Air Arms has adjustable speed, and a better trigger than the Regal. Naturally with the power down on the AA, the shot count is much higher.

Thanks. Do you have .22's or .177's?

I have one AA500 in 22, the other in 177. Daystate MKIV is 22, Walther 300 Dominator is 177, so is the Anschutz 9003, and Walther LG400. Generally 22s get more shots per fill, and again generally any caliber gets iffy after 900fps. Each caliber has advantages and disadvantages. If I could have only one AA500, I would pick the 22. Neither caliber is a bad choice.

Thanks - the Air arms 510 is on my short list.

I've had a Daystate Ranger and a Huntsman which is basically the same as the Regal. Both were super accurate and had wonderful triggers. Wonderful rifles for that matter.
I've tripped both to try others and miss them.
I would not be concerned about quality or accuracy from Daystate.
I'd definitely want it to have a Hugget.
The only issue I have had with Daystate's is a wider velocity curve than I care for as I like to shoot long.
I more or less start at 60 yards.
I have/had a bunch of PCP's from the various names and if I had to pick only one my values being consistent fps, weight, compact size, loudness, shot count, trigger, magazine, and accuracy the FX Royale in .22 sets the bar as having it all.

Forgot to mention that I'm one of those lefties. I was told that FX only has a couple that have ambi or left hand stocks.
