This is the NOVA VISTA Leviathan, hands-down the prominent budget PCP of the #2 pellet calibre. Featuring well-loved and praised accuracy, versatility as a game-shooter / bench-rester (we actually had a customer who achieved 14th position in SA, in the NHSA National Postal Shooting Competition.. He actually competed against gents who shot rifles 3 - 4 times the price of his LEVIATHAN)

This rifle features a hearty, solid beechwood monte carlo stock w/ a raised cheek comb, which certainly adds as much weight, as it does a sense of solidity to the rifle 'feel'. Removing the wooden stock is also considerably easier than removing the two-piece synthetic one. Otherwise, you are still not supplied open sights w/ the rifle, although most people will likely just opt for a scope / optical device to produce an aiming aperture.

This rifle has an overpressure relief valve, likewise fitted w/ a burst disc that will expire before any critical pressure damage can occur to your air reservoirs. We think these are two good safety backstops, necessary as well, for a 300 BAR PCP gun.

Regulator (From 100 BAR ~ 200 BAR of pressure.) - You can only adjust UP when the rifle is filled up. If you try to adjust downward, you'll likely damage the regulator and/or seals attached to it).

Externally adjustable hammer spring - This is accomplished by means of an M3 allen wrench. Rotating the screw head at the back, under the rifle action, inward, increases muzzle velocity. Rotating it the other way, decreases muzzle velocity. Just note that the manufacturer indicates that, possibly after about 500 shots, the hammer spring will break in and you will lose 50 FPS.

Easy accessable bleeder screw - Just chuck an allen wrench in and you can bleed out the entire air reservoir. Comes in handy if you nneed to tune your regulator pressure up or would just like to disassemble your rifle for repairs (maintenance) / modifications / inspection..

Integrated filling probe - Just thread off the end cap on the nose-end of the air reservoir, as shown in the gallery lineup, then you can refill your air rifle. No need to keep a filling probe lying around / losing it. If damaged, you should be able to replace it w/ a standard non-return 1/8" BSP male Q/C fitting. 

180cc Air reservoir capacity - On factory power setting, you're looking at about 70 shots per fill, down to 100 BAR, which is really not bad. The second / smaller air reservoir is concealed inside the stock.

Side cocking lever - Nothing beats simplicity of chambering, and the BEHEMOTH offers this. No laggy feel on the lever when hinging it out, no overt stiff feeling as you max out its arc of motion. The rifle has a lengthy vertical bar as well, affixed to the cocking lever, which assists in ease of cocking, even if the lever is seated rearwardly in an otherwise awkward position, with respect to its distance to one's shoulder.

Hybrid Weaver / Dovetail rail - This is a lovely little innovation incorporated into the rifle design, as you can now mount 9-11mm dovetail mount rings OR Weaver mount rings. Picatinny mount rings fit here fine as well, though normally we recommend HAWKE's range of WEAVER mount rails, to hold your scope on top of this rifle.

Overall, This rifle is a top seller specifically because of its adjustable regulator, adjustable hammer spring, online popularity, pricetag and versatility / adaptability. The wooden stock does add a little weight to the rifle and the length can be a source of complaint to some, however, that being so - we do have the BEHEMOTH in stock, which is the younger brother to this rifle - featuring the same rifle action, but just in bullpup configuration, w/ a few extra tactical bells & whistles.

The rifle features a guage on each side of the receiver - The one that has the green markings up to 300 BAR is your fill guage, the one that has green markings up to 200 BAR, would be your regulator guage. Please don't try to push your regulator pressure beyond 200 BAR and also familiarize yourself in full with the instruction manual prior to changing any settings on the rifle.

• Shots per Fill: 60 ~ 80, depending on power setting
