A suggestion if you don't mind.......why not a Daystate instead?

Mr.Jose, you got PM.
Mr.Prabath, good suggestion, but already bought cause of availability. Daystate is anytime better, will get that one too ;-).
Mr.Pritam, thanks a lot for such encouraging words.

Looks to be a great piece of a gun. Just love it:
(More information referred from here: http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/FX%20Royale500.htm)
FX Airguns in Sweden has been one of the leading airgun manufactures over the last 10 years. The genius that is Fredrik Axelsson has brought to the market a host of innovations that have revolutionized the modern precision airgun. Enter the Royale 500, a .25 caliber version of the superb Royale 400 with the addition of a 500cc air bottle and an 11-shot magazine. The FX Royal 500 air rifle is the culmination of this experience combined with the engineering master Ben Taylor, inventor of the Theoben range of rifles. Fred and Ben, being good friends, decided to take the best of what they have to offer and produced an airgun of the highest quality and performance. The Royale 500 is a side lever, 11-shot, factory moderated wonder gun. Features include an ultra smooth, easy to cycle and load action, pressure gauge, and quick-fill port for easy charging. The Royale also has an adjustable 2-stage, match trigger that can be set as light as 8 oz with a smooth, crisp let off. The rifle sports a stock of deluxe walnut or synthetic, of which both are light in weight and super comfortable. The walnut version shows very nice grain patterns, has an oil finish, checkering which is both sharp and defined, and an option of thumb-up or thumb-through positions. Despite the high power level, the Royale is extremely quiet. The match grade, smooth twist barrel exclusive to the FX range of airguns assures top level accuracy. Our tests have shown half-inch groups at 50 yards with quarter-inch groups being reported by the factory at 40 meters. The FX Royale 500 separates itself from the 400 by sporting more energy and impact damage delivered to the target. Small game out to 100 yards and beyond can be humanely taken as well as larger animals at shorter ranges. The Royale 500 is a field-capable rifle. Should the need arise servicing is a dream. The rifle can be stripped, serviced and assembled in 30 min by the owner. The FX factory has excelled to a higher level with this rifle. The Royale has deservedly become an industry benchmark airgun.
