Good Points

VERY accurate, 22 ft-lbs out of the box using SuperDome pellets. I shot a surprising (to me) 1 X 2-inch 5-shot pattern at 50 yds OFFHAND!!--the best I've ever managed in that ungainly position. Well-made and reliable, as are all RWS air rifles.


Bad Points

Heavy mother, hard on the shoulder to carry around--a sling is a must. Cocking is not easy--if you are slight, be sure you can manage it.


General Comments

Unusual mechanism of this side-lever, spring-piston causes the entire receiver to move back in opposition to the spring and piston at them moment of the shot, thus cancelling out any recoil. The result is a rock-solid telescopic sight-picture, unlike all other spingers, in which the sight-picture moves enough to obscure the target--or even black out.
