It is illegal to have softair even in China. 3year jail living experience is waiting for you if you try to 3d print a airsoft gun. can't believe somebody just try to produce airgun there.

Not sure about the Umarex SurgeMax haven't had any experience with them. 
I have however had good feedback on the Stoeger range of Airguns.

CryJust saw an old news. Somebody in CN village bought a handmade air rifle on ALI and 2000bbs. Think it is about 400fps? The guy don't know how to adjust or sight-in a rifle and never get one mouse shot but finally get 15year jail because too much bbs. He even don't know that handmade air won't last for 500shots. He just bought 2000bbs rather than 200bbs to make him jail year from 7 extend to 15Wink
In that case, if Steoger try to produce guns in China, their staffs will end up in jails???

I take it this happened in China?
Why would the workers go to jail.
If they are allowed to make them there then its legal, even if owning one may not be.
Marijuana is illegal in nz, but a couple of companies are allowed to grow it for medical purposes. The workers don't go to jail for working there.

Depends who ask. Really all comes down to what two guns you are comparing and what you want out of a gun.
Some ppl swear by crosman, some ppl swear by gamo some ppl just swear at mention of either brand.
Heres a question for you. What can you do to improve the air rifle you have? (look it up I already have a good idea and don't need to know)
Preety much any air rifle in the mid to lower range will benefit from a bit of tlc
