General Comments
I bought this gun as a first gun and was impressed with the handling and good looks of the gun. It was .22 caliber and I intended to use it for hunting. At first I could get fairly tight groups but they steadily got worse. After several frustrating months I found the breech was loose in the cylinder. This was the cause of the rifles inaccuracy which was terrible by this time. The power was also well down. The rifle wasn't even capable of shooting through a tin can at 15 yards. I eventually got a refund for the gun as I didn't like it much anyway. It was awful heavy with a scope.I bought a Weihrauch and have had no problems at all. Judging by all the other reviews I was very unlucky to get a bad gun.
