I've evaluated the Stoeger XM1 Ranger in .22 for the past 6 months. It is extremely accurate (see target at 50 yards, 5 shots) and since it's regulated, it has very consistent shot to shot velocity. Adjustable Hammer Spring, adjustable 2 stage trigger, adjustable length of pull and comb/cheek rest.
I have put thousands of pellets through it over the past 6 months. It seems not very pellet picky but mine has done best with JSB 18.13,, H&N Baracuda Match 5.52mm. The target shown and chrono was with the Baracuda Match in 5.52.
Never a jam or leak or any other problem over that period and number of shots.
It has a large metal picatinny rail on top and pic rails on the forestock sides and under the forestock (for laser, bipod or whatever).
Good shot count per fill: I get about 60 full power shots with Baracuda Match on the regulator.
Regulator can be adjusted but is has to be removed from the air tube (one gun is completely empty). Hammer spring is externally and easily adjusted.
The Scout is essentially the same as the Ranger but with shorter barrel (making it a "carbine") and slight less air due to the shorter air tube.
The excellent accuracy was as is out of the box and no adjustments made (shooting Baracuda Match) after cleaning and filling it with air.
Personally, I clean my PCP guns after about 500 shots, but that's just "me". Cleaning airguns is a much debated subject.

Great shot count, very reliable over the past six months, extremely accurate up to 100 yards, great ergonomics, what more can you ask?.
