Just a quick update....i finally got this to the range last night and put about 100 rounds of 115gr of Winchester White Box through it. It worked without a hiccup and seemed pretty accurate to me (although, I'm far,far from a great shot).
As I said the DA pull is extremely heavy but there is a $10 spring kit offered that's reputed to greatly improve that. I fired in SA as I normally do bullseye shooting @ 20 yards and while the trigger was noticable heavier than either of my Smith's it broke cleanly and i didn't have any trouble putting rounds in the rings (or at least no more trouble than usual
)
It handled the recoil well and i didn't find it snappy at all. I did find the stock rubber grips a little squirmy but Alfa offers several variations of nicely finished wooden stocks as accessories for $50-60 so I think that may be in order.
This is my first experience using moon clips and I'm definately a fan
All in all I was pleasantly surprised for the price I paid and I think the gun represents good value. They list for around 559 CAD up here so about 440 US with case,cleaning tools, 2 moon clips,a de-mooning tool and a factory test target. I was lucky and found one on sale at $420 (330-ish US) and at that price I'd say it's a keeper.
I believe they are sold as "Czech Point" in the USA.
