Things I liked:In .22 caliber this rifle sports excellent power. Also, it seems to be very accurate at reasonable ranges (10-40 yards). With a good rest, correct ammo, and steady hands this rifle is able to adequately take small game out to the 50-60 yard range. The metal on this rifle is of a high quality in fit and finish. Things

With a good rest, correct ammo, and steady hands this rifle is able to adequately take small game out to the 50-60 yard range. The metal on this rifle is of a high quality in fit and finish. Things I would have changed:In many other reviews people have complained about the stock and I do have to agree with them. I have not experienced any problems with the stock's structural integrity (appx. 1,000 shots), but it does feel somewhat cheap and hollow. The mechanics of the trigger should be reconfigured to provide a lighter pull. What others should know:If you were like me and on the "fence" about buying this rifle, I would say go for it. Although the stock does feel cheap it seems to work fine as well as the heavy trigger. In the price range I don't think there is another air rifle better suited for small game hunting and pest control ( as well as plinking if you are able to deal with the cocking effort). On a side note be careful about pellet selection: I have had good luck with crosman field tips and jbs predators, but my gun absolutely hates RWS super domes (2.5 inch groups @ 25 yards at best)

Things I would have changed: What others should know:I got these pellets for a good general use pellets so I could save my expensive JSB's for hunting outings. However, I soon discovered that these pellets will absolutely not shoot out of my Gas spring Walther Falcon Hunter. I really can't even use these pellets for medium to long rang plinking due to their awful grouping. I can consistently shoot 1 to sub 1 inch groups at 35-40 yards with various other pellets. With the superdome's at this range a good group would be in the neighborhood of 5+ inches!
Things I liked:The design of these pellets are completely amazing. Upon opening the tin you will realize that these are very clean, uniform, quality pellets. They do what they claim and that is take down game/pest with authority. Things I would have changed:Obviously I would like to get these pellets for a cheaper price. Also,

They do what they claim and that is take down game/pest with authority. Things I would have changed:Obviously I would like to get these pellets for a cheaper price. Also, I wish they would be available in tins with screw on lids and larger quantities. What others should know:These pellets seem to work very well in my Walther Falcon Hunter (Gas Ram). They are not the best in the accuracy department, but they are very close to the best shooting pellets. I use my rifle mainly for small game hunting and pest control and I spent time and money trying to find the best combination of accuracy with effectiveness for these purposes. (This pellet was the clear winner) This pellet is not gimicky and really lives up to it's claims!
