Things I would have changed:The rear ironsight is a little flimsy. Be VERY careful, don't rest the gun on it's side with the windage wheel contacting the ground/table/whatever. Don't knock into or bump the sights, you really need to handle the gun gently. Factory lubrication is a bit messy and sparse. Plastic trigger gaurd is really not a problem since it's not at all flimsy. Wood and metal burrs and shavings were common. Takes a little touching up. The windage and elevation wheels are not too precise but they get the job done. Remember it's a $90 gun. Don't bother with the scope combo, and if you have no other choice dont bother mounting the scope other than for looks. The stop pin on the rear ring didn't even line up with the hole in the receiver for mine. What others should know:This gun fills it's role. A budget, Chinese-made spring rifle for a little more than some pump-pneumatics. It's a good first springer to get used
to springers and their recoil, develop your shooting hold (loose hold with follow-through, resting your palm under the gun's balancing point on the wood forearm). You just need to realize it's not going to perform stellar out of the box. You should clean the bore, at least run dry patches through. (Breech to muzzle). CHECK the stock screws often, out of the box mine very quite loose. Also, TRY DIFFERENT PELLETS. Usually the heavier ones 9-10grains+ work better in the 1000fps+ rifles. Don't bother with the velocity craze B.S. Expect the gun to wear IN, not wear out (hopefully). Trigger is pretty bad out-of-box but with time it gets better. It really makes you develop a steady hand (or at least try to :) )
