Good Points

The workmanship is excellent. With the right Pellets it is very accurate. Not too loud so to draw my neighbors attention but the whack of the pellet could. It has tremendous power and you can hear the pellet hit with a solid thwack! The trigger comes factory with a 3.3 pound pull and is smooth.


Bad Points

Its a bit heavy for a a long day of shooting. Don't care for the plastic trigger and foresight. You would think with the rest of the quality the engineers would skip the plastic. I'd even be willing to drop a few extra dollars for non plastic parts. Maybe its an attempt at cost savings?


General Comments

Of my 4 airguns this is my favorite. I have the .22 caliber version. The solid feel ( again, maybe a little heavy), smooth trigger pull and piston operation, make it an absolute pleasure to shoot.

I found the best pellets for me are the Crosman Premier and the Beeman Kodiak. Using the adequate factory Scope, once sighted in with the proper pellets, I never miss. Most of my shooting is between 20 and 50 yards. Occasionally I knock crows down in the 70-80 yards range. The .22 caliber carries loads of energy a long way.

I can't think of anything I would change other than the aforementioned plastic parts. I give this a solid thumbs up and recommend it - It's well worth the money.
