The price is right,
looks not that so bad, CAF forum mentioned not so earlier that some accessories in the way, the PP750 is still relatively new on the market.
I would take the .22 if I could locate one as a full kit, but, before I pull my wallet,
to ask for first hand experience if anybody would chime in?
 
They look pretty neat to me. Think I read somewhere that some of the internals are a bit rough, needing some work to refine, but specifics elude memory, sorry. The price does indeed seem right. And going to a 7-shot magazine might be nice for ratting, as with my current single-shot setup with a Pardini it takes some seconds to reload and a second rat can easily be long gone before that happens.

I got the PP750, I can say it is an impressive air pistol for the price point.

Externally I can confirm the fabrication is well beyond my expectations.
The internals are rough and noticeable when I am cocking/shooting.
A very first day I did a first surgery, dissembled it and one by one I deburred and polished the trigger and the cocking mechanism parts.
The design is logical and the precision is there on every piece, I measured some parts and the numbers are even, I believe the fabrication was done with stack up tolerances.
I decided that I will replace the hammer spring instead of clipping the original, I will add a hammer weight, and looking for a longer barrel in .22. Parts are on my list the question is only for what money and how fast I can get these. McMaster is my best choice but also open to suggestions.
The only thing I don't like is the 11mm dovetail, for $20 extra Artemis could build in (or at least include in a package) a picatinny rail, now I need to order and adapter from amazon (I guess my best option, can save me a trip to couple stores). I have some older dovetail rings but a shortest scope I can mount is a TenPoint crossbow scope on medium height. But I think a red dot or a prism scope would work the needs better.

I believe the next disassembly and replacing parts can be done in less then...5 minutes, a top. But I like to play with toys and I like to have nice and quality tools as well...this is my Lego.

My overall impression? ;) I am smiling. what I've got for my money is a good value.

I am looking to replace the original 8" barrel to a longer 18.1".
Anybody can point me to a good source for blank barrels, or me go better ordering from EU?
I see CSS have some Benjamin and Kral barrels, not sure for the money to go that way?
 
I will be designing/building custom parts for this relatively new PP750, I got a very first prototype extended plenum with reg gauge working as expected. More parts inline for fabrications.
Since I cannot post pictures here at this forum and I don't want to stretch muscles, leaving it now, you can catch me at other airgun places.
