    Brilliant. I really wanted one when they first came on the market here in the US but unfortunately lack of funds dictated elsewise to meet the. $700 + price tag. .... Very nice find Vin. 😁👍

    Lovely guns the LGV. A well set up Rowan trigger makes a huge difference. I believe yours is the "Competition Ultra" rather than the "Master". I have the "Master Pro" and it is fantastic. All the same internals.

    I have that box! I have that gun!! Wow did you get a deal on that. In US dollars that's like 321.00 dollars. These gun are hard to come by and you got on new in the box for well under half what it's worth! That is the Competition Ultra version and my favorite. Mine is in .177 caliber. I do have the LGU Varmint in .22 which is also amazing. These guns are heavy, but so is my Pro-Sport. Your right about not being to pellet fussy. These guns came factory tuned with a rotating piston to eliminate spring twist. These are the most accurate springers I own and the easiest to shoot accurately. My Pro Sport won't out shoot these for accuracy. I can leave these in the case for months and they are always dead on when I shoot them again. Like the Pro-Sport there is no metal to metal contact on the piston. I had the LGU Varmint out around the first of the year and put 5 shots perfectly through the same hole, not even jagged. These are the guns that official pulled my back into springers when I went down the PCP trail for a bit. Can't wait to see how yours shoots. The LGU Varmint has the black synthetic stock and weighs around 13 pounds with the big 4-16 scope I have on it. I had to replace the triggers on mine here in the US. Umarex imported them and they didn't have the factory 2 stage adjustable triggers. I bought a really nice Rowan trigger for my LGV and found an actual 2 stage adjustable factory trigger for my LGU on ebay. The LGV is just as accurate and my favorite to shoot of the two. It's a bit lighter than the LGU and easier to handle from the bench.

    Hi Vin,
    Talk about a dog with two tails, lol! Jolly good luck to you, Vin. As many comments have said, what a beauty! I think you've landed on a barn find, there. I don't think youll be disappointed, I certainly hope not. You've got a joy of ownership, there, never mind how it shoots.
    I'm very pleased for you, as many others are here. That unit wouldnt have been there long, if you hadn't bought it.
    Good luck with it, although I don't think you'll need much.
    Best wishes Vin, Ian.

    Hey up Vin what a bargain 😃I've been running a couple of LGU'S and they compare to the TX and Hw 77/97, trigger's needed a little fettling though, keep an eye on the LGV fore stock screws as they may loosen, apart from that enjoy.

It is also extremely smooth to cock and it is a pellet on pellet shooter. Ten meters i can still fix with my eyes, longer range i need a scope. Looking forward to the range video my friend 😁
