The gun is very well made for $70. The receiver, muzzle break and pumping handle are all metal. The open sites are fiber optic and look like they would work well, but I didnʼt try them. Without cleaning the barrel or even tightening the stock screws, I mounted a 4X scope and shot from fifteen yards with CPHP's. Three out of five shots went into one tiny hole.

I figured I was having parallax problems and put a 3-12X40 AO scope on it. 3 shots "clover-leafed" and the last 2 shots went through the dead center of the group.(~1/4" group)

The pistol grip on the stock is completely vertical and takes some getting used to but its not bad. The report is about the same, if not less, then the sound it makes when you pump it. The gun appears to be very solidly built and there are several things you can do to increase power.

Velocity is usually in the low 400 fps with these guns, but remember they were made to shoot paper at ten yards. With modifications I will be shooting pests and maybe even hunting small game out to twenty yards. With airguns, accuracy is always first, and for $70 I couldnʼt ask for more.

Also the clip wouldn't work right with mine. I had some trouble getting the single shot adapter to work right too. Both come with the gun. After a little fiddling, it worked fine.


Here are a few pictures;
