Things I liked:This is my first airgun. And im glad it was because its a pretty nice rifle. First I got this for shooting squirrels in my backyard. My dad said you cant kill a squirrel with a air rifle. Well I proved him wrong. The second day after I got the gun I got 4 squirrels in ONE shot. And those shots were not headshots! I used Gamo Magnum

My dad said you cant kill a squirrel with a air rifle. Well I proved him wrong. The second day after I got the gun I got 4 squirrels in ONE shot. And those shots were not headshots! I used Gamo Magnum rounds. Great gun great for the price great everything. Things I would have changed:Make sure to install your scope stop or your scope and your rail will inch back, causing alot of frustration. Also some of the manuals were in Spanish. What others should know:If you were thinking of shooting this gun in your backyard like me, go ahead. This gun is pretty quiet but not that quiet. Ive been shooting this air rifle everyday and I dont here complaints. Great gun for the money buy it if you like shooting targets or varmints!
Things I liked:Great accuracy for a hollow point. I mainly bought these things to shoot squirrels with and o boy these things are great for killing squirrels. All of the squirrels I shot with this pellet die instantly with one hit, even in the stomach, the expansion is great. I even shot a squirrel in the head and its brains were coming out of

All of the squirrels I shot with this pellet die instantly with one hit, even in the stomach, the expansion is great. I even shot a squirrel in the head and its brains were coming out of its mouth. Great for hunting. Things I would have changed:The lid top can come off really easy, therefor spilling all your pellets. They should of made a screw on lid, it just comes right off. Also the price is a bit high, with everything said and done (shipping) it cost me about 17 dollars but there well worth the price. What others should know:Good hunting!
Things I liked:Great penetration, I killed squirrels with 1 pellet with a body shot. Things I would have changed:Some of the pellets were nicked up. What others should know:Good for the price but not perfect for accuracy.
