Good Points

-Easy to pump quickly
-Overall durable with proper maintenance
-Shatters glass but still is a great beginner gun if your careful where and who shoots with it
-Easy scope attachment

Bad Points
-Rifle butt and pump handle are plastic (sit on it and the but will break off)
-Low power and accuracy range

General Comments
I picked this air gun up at a Wal-Mart for about $60 CAD. Right from day one it performed as well the cost suggested it would (low accuracy and power). The gun fired good for about the first eight-hundred shots or so when I realized it was really starting to decrease in power. I Oiled it with the manuals suggested Pellgunoil, that seemed to help return power.

Accuracy is another thing. It produces mildly poor accuracy even for a bb rifle because of its lack of power. I was able to watch the breeze change the course of the pellet before it hit the target some 80 feet away. Of course, this isn't hunting rifle material so small distances work better to keep generally good accuracy with this gun. The Single pump action with the 200 bb cach make the gun just great for running around in the woods shooting rodents.



I suggest this gun to anyone that wants to experience cheap enjoyable beginner fun that doesn't need a CO2 supply and is light. Heck, you can even buy a scope for it. It makes it that much more fun to use (4x works well, anything more is too hard to align with the poor accuracy). I say its worth the cash I spent on it.
