Good Points

nice appearance, usable sights, feels like a real high power rifle. i bought mine at just over $200.00 and there was no comparable gun in that price range.


Bad Points

it took about 700 shots before it starting preforming well. fps actually went up a little and the grouping is now very good. not really bad points but it might be a put off.


General Comments

I had the opportunity , when i bought the rifle, to lay it on the counter top at the store with 11 other guns in the 100-200 dollar range and it was by far the best appearing of the lot. But would it shoot as well as its competitors? The first 50 rounds grouped poorly. I went thru the gun and checked the screws and re-examined the fit. everything looked good. After 200 rounds my son noticed it was shooting much better. It was true and the gun continues to preform better and better. We see 3/4" groups at 50 yards with the premium 177 beeman pellets, and it is as good as we need it to be

    Same thing occured to me. First 100 shots went everywhere, and didnt know if it was because of the scope or the pellets. So i stored it and never practiced again. After reading your comment I am starting all over again.
    I have always shooted centerfire, and never airguns, but is a pleasure not to drive 4 hours to use it, so you give me happy news.
    Any comment about scope and scope mount ? should it be one piece or can be two piece ?

    buy the best one piece mount u can afford this gun has enough vibration to shake loose the two piece mounts associated with rimfire 22s. my first mount loosen in ten shots - i tightened it up and it loosened again - i got the rws one piece and it has not moved since install
    have fun!!
