I knew I had seen that trigger before :D

Rear Sight; Is a perfect match to Feinwerkbau 300 rear aperture.

I lusted after the 300-S. This was at a time when the old 52 International could be had for 900 and change.

Front sight. Is an FWB 18mm. Anything fancy that fits the FWB pattern screws in here

I doubt FWB would have taken the roll-pin mount shortcut, but that's just me. I've been known to be wrong before.

Also in the package comes a CO2 bulk fill adapter.....that will run you another $60 with any other rifle

Depends on where (and when?!) you buy. Archer still lists the bulk fill adapter as part of the package. The 2078 I just ordered in came without the adapter. I'm pretty sure this was done to keep the price point down.

The platform will nearly instantly convert to a PCP

Soonish to be determined. All I need is the pump :D

Being the owner of two HPA modded QB78D's, a Hatsan AT44 10/22, and a room full of B18 platform springers it appears that budget type in general are the best for me. I contemplated buying an expensive pcp, most likely an Airforce Condor but! Higher price and still more money to spend on upgrades/ mods (cant help it must have upgrades!) so instead another QB78D is what I chose, and building it the way I like it. I am very lucky to have a creative mind , some skills, and some tools/machinery to make modifications and custom parts. So enough babbling I give the QB78D the best for modification and budget. I will have a condor yet btw.

for the moder it got to be the qb 78 family.easy to build what ever you like and going as crasy as you like whit it

out of the box it has to be the at44. and/or the cz 200 s

baikal izh 60 if it where the same price it was a couple of years ago.

Does the AR2078 from Scopes and Ammo come with the bulk fill adapter?

It's either old stock units, or he's adding the adapter (it is available from the factory as a separate part). I don't track Archer's prices, so it's entirely possible he raised the price $30.00 and put the adapter in- i.e. no choice for the customer. I was a bit surprised when our first shipment of the rifles came in with no adapters- seems the factory decided to do this sometime between when they told the old US importer he was "out" and they purchased S/R-Beeman.
