Sighting and trigger system
The Manu Arm cal 4.5 177 has a height-adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight. But beware! On the model I'm describing here, the original rear sight is not functional. Don't panic, this is the perfect opportunity to fit a scope to improve your accuracy.
As for the trigger, it's not adjustable. Some shooters prefer adjustable triggers, but personally I like the simplicity of this system. It forces you to work on your technique rather than relying on adjustments.
Stock and finish
This rifle has a pistol grip stock designed for right-handers. Its varnished finish gives it an elegant, hard-wearing appearance. Of course, with use, a few scratches may appear on the stock. But isn't that the charm of guns with a history?
