This gun has the best accuracy i have ever seen I was thoroughly imressed by the open but high quality sights included more than you can expect from a 180$ gun.
The stock attatchments are the worst part of the gun they dont fit quite right but will do the job once you are looking through the sights, also the trigger is plastic and the pelets can become caught in the bolt (easy to fix)
I used this gun with my squadran of cadets and although it was my first time i was amazed by the accuracy entailed in the making of this gun by my 15 th shot i could group 5 pelets in a 2.5 cm circle ( this is on my first day!) i have to say the trigger pull is a bit long so you need to count on being able to hold your breath for at least 15 seconds to keep the gun steady while your fingers work on getting the trigger all the way back but with a little practice you can become a first class shooter! The bolt is a little sticky but after you use the gun and oil it (i suggest WD-40) the bolt will work just fine but use high grade pelets or the barrel won't let the bolt push them in.
This is a common gun condition saving feature the small barrel entrance will stop any even slightly deformed pellets from scratching the inside of the barrel it is slightly annoying at times but is worth it as a scatched barrel will ruin the flight pattern of any pellet you shoot out of the gun from then on (ruining the superior accuracy of this gun) all in all this is a great gun and if you take good care of it it will last forever!
