Good Points

Not very twangy (after break in). Great accuracy. Looks and feels great. Lot of gun for the money. Very good power even after a year of solid use. Smooth cocking action.

Bad Points

The stock trigger takes some getting used to. The best thing to do is swap it out for a GRT-III. The best 30 bucks you will spend on the gun. If you get a scope combo ditch the mounting rings and invest in a good one piece mount.

General Comments

I have had this gun for a year and couldn't be happier with it. For the money I can't imagine getting something else. Too bad it is no longer made in 0.22 cal. My friends and I have weekly shooting competitions and everyone comments and how great this gun feels. I found crossman premier pellets work great for all shooting applications. The RWS meistergulgen pellets for target shooting cut perfect circles with no chards. My scope package was the BSA 3-12X-40 and i upgraded to the GRT-III trigger and a one piece scope mount. Wouldn't change a thing!
