 shit4brains's recommendation | |
Able to shoot extremely long ranges (75+yards), with perfect accuracy and tremendous power. For example, I knocked a rock pigeon off another house, and it was three 20 yard gardens away. It was an instant kill at about 85 yards. So far I've only shot two turtle doves and one rock pigeon.
The weight is a bit uncomfortable, and the cocking effort is not as bad as they make it out to be. I'm 14 years old, and I cocked it one time without breaking a sweat. It is meant for only a couple of shots a week/day, and it is not a plinking air rifle.
It's a wonderful gun overall if you would be wanting to get rid of pests from doves to rabbits. I have yet to shoot a rabbit, because I would like to see the devastation a Prometheus .177 cal does at 480m/s. It would be good for bird pests, considering it would be a one-off kill. If you're looking for a long shot or hunting pellet gun. the Gamo Hunter 1250 is the way to go, but it's not for a first pellet gun, and it's not for the weak either.
