Well built, accurate, good trigger pull and you can mount a scope.
Heavy, kicks hard for 490 FPS, the rear sight looses its zero easily and the rear sight is fragile.
I bought this gun a little over a year ago, when I took it out of the box and fired it I was very pleased. A year later I was still pleased with its performance. I use beeman hollow points in it and it works well. You can hit targets the size of push pins at 30 feet. The trigger pull is crisp, and cocking it is pretty easy (at first its a little bit hard but it loosens up after about 4 days) the front and rear sight are both fiber optic but unfortunatly the rear sight is quite fragile. it is a pretty heavy gun so it takes time to get used to the weight. If you clean this gun after about every 200-250 shots it will work good. There are 3/8 dovetail scope rails on it. If you buy rings for a scope you should go with the shorter rings because the stock has no raised area for easy viewing through a scope. I have a centre point red dot sight on mine and the kick doesent seem to make it loose its zero. I would recommend this gun to anyone who wants to get into shooting or just shoots for the fun of shooting. If you shoot competitivly you might want to go with a more expensive gun.
