Durable, easy to cock, priced right, powerful. this is an all day shooter from kids to adults. I killed a dove at 60 yards with a match pellet. (I have practiced out to this distance)
I changed the trigger to a GRT III (incredible difference). I also put a Bushnell Banner 4-12 X 40. I mounted a solid one piece scope mount as well. This became a sniper rifle when these two improvements were finished.
I tried a variety of pellets and found that flat top and domed pellets around 8 grams worked best. The PBA Raptors that came with the gun fit loose in the barrel and shot all over the target. Predators worked well. My gun prefers superdomes and match pellets. On a calm day I can (standing) shoot clover leaves out to 30 yards. The gun is very light so you must find your Happy place to be accurate. Teach safety with this gun as well as others. This is not your grandpa's BB gun.
Things to remember about accuracy: 1) the wind will blow your pellet around. 2) each type of pellet may shoot different, find the one that works and buy tons of them. 3) Buy a good scope for this rifle, you will be impressed with the performance. 4) it is a light gun so practice shooting it and find a solid foundation in your stance. 5) your breath control will be noticed in your groups on the target.
