Well these Airforce guns are pretty neat if you are into modifying and tinkering them to get them where you want it. I bought mine as a .22 in a package deal I could not refuse because it included a Hill Pump and scuba tank for practically free, along with a pellet sampler pack from Straight Shooters. I then added the .25 kit from Custombrakz.com which I am currently getting dialed in.
If you are just wanting a trouble-free, out of the box powerhouse with the added plus of being a lever action repeater, I highly suggest you go with a Sumatra 2500 Carbine in .22 or .25 (I say get the .25). That is what my next small bore will be. You can get one from Pyramid Air for about $407 which is a great deal for that gun. Or you can get one from Mac1 that has been given the once-over by a second or third generation airgun tuner. Those Sumatra's are known to be awesome right out of the box and accurate, though they tend to require Korean pellets to be real accurate. Korean guns tend to have slightly over-sized barrel diameters from what I have gathered.
The Airforce guns have some issues you may need to deal with, such as requiring high scope mounts to avoid tilting your head side-ways, and frame flex throwing off POI (I'm told a tri-rail fixes this). I'm told the valve issue it once had has finally been fixed by the company. The safety is crap; I'm going to remove mine as soon as I get the proper instructions I need. I also need to get a different butt pad and some kind of cheek piece, as it is difficult to get the same cheek/shoulder position on the rifle each time.
If you like to soup-up/modify your gun, or want to learn just what makes an airgun tick, Airforce guns are great for that and can be very accurate, powerful guns when they are all dialed in. I'm keeping mine!
