Things I liked:haveing two barrels is very excelent,especially if you also have 2 sight types in case they do not sight the same when you change them,i set up the 177 cal with the fixed sights,and the 22 cal with the scope,for the price this gun is great,it has a good rifle feel to it ,it has good wieght and a thick gunstock,it seems to be made

Read MoreThings I liked:haveing two barrels is very excelent,especially if you also have 2 sight types in case they do not sight the same when you change them,i set up the 177 cal with the fixed sights,and the 22 cal with the scope,for the price this gun is great,it has a good rifle feel to it ,it has good wieght and a thick gunstock,it seems to be made well,and has the trigger safety that engages automatically once youve cocked the barrel into the full stroke position, that lets you safely load the barrel when you when your gonna latch it without worying as much about the trigger setting off the piston prematurely and causing the barrel to flip into the lock position while bringing the barrel back up possibly causing serious harm to the handler . Things I would have changed:(the 177 barrel is perfect) my 22 front sight was very very slightly turned favoring the right .also looking down the inside of the 22 barrel it looked choked slightly,i think its due to factory installation of the front sight somehow, i think this is why the barrels sight so differently even using the same wieght pellet i think they'd be off a bit, i wouldve liked to have seen a threaded pin haveing a bead with a hole drilled it it and a piece of the fiberoptic bonded in the hole,(drill the hole parralell and center to the barrel after threadlocking the pin)and be sure the set screw pit that locks the barrel is 100% 180 degees so the pin is straight with the rest of the gun,also id change the soft case to have an inner foldout to make it full length so the user dont have to break the barrel if not wanted,and add a inner pocket for two pellet containers.and mayby include a chart for minimum to maximum (gun dammage proof) alowable pellet wieghts to distances so the user can get a better idea of the guns ability.
What others should know:with the included scope this gun is deadly accurate,once you have set it to the ranges you shoot at. i took a huge male adult groundhog in front of the ear and it went out the other ear,right to the hair of where i wanted it,within an eighth inch.useing beeman siver ace pellets,at 20 yards,that groundhog moved forward about 3 inches,rolled over,and that was it.
i hold the front of the grip and pull the gun into my shoulder, with the rear stock firm to my shoulder,while the gun is rested on the center of the front grip (this keeps the gun extreamly steady for me),keep your eye behind the scope at the same exact place every time you shoot,and take a breath and hold it,so as to steady yourself a few seconds before you shoot,with those 4 things in mind,((shoulder tight, gun rested, sure eye place, and take breath )),you will probably be extremely accurate.(dont forget to push the trigger safety forward before your last step)stay sure and steady,AND BY ALL MEANS BE ABSOLUTELY SURE WHATS BEHIND YOUR TARGET,IM PRETTY SURE THIS GUN MAY SHOOT UP TO OR BEYOND 100 YARDS.
