Then there was another thing, the trigger , that was around 8 pounds.
2 trips to the gunsmith and it was around 3.5 pounds.
Was not happy about that neither.
Had to use file and got it to around 1 1/2 pounds.
Have to say they have very simple , almost primitive trigger system similar to some military guns like Mosin Nagan and such.

Stock scope was total garbage and was replaced with Bushenel 3x9.

But after all this little gun shoots 0.6-.07 groups with Barnes 80 gr TTSX
and my kids like to shoot it .
All that time and effort to get a trigger down to 1.5 pounds for a 12-year old? You sure the gun was for him?
