Things I liked:This gun is VERY powerful and very accurate. I typically shoot 15.4 grain Gammo hunters out of them chronographed at an average 840fps. It is not very picky with pellets and I find the best performance from heavy pellets with soft skirts.
My shooting technique needs improvement so the best I can shoot off bench is .5 ctc inches

My shooting technique needs improvement so the best I can shoot off bench is .5 ctc inches at 20 yards in a 10 shot grouping. However there have many reviews on the net that this gun can perform much better.
Cocking effort is fairly easy and initially dry but this will clear up after 500+ rounds.
The scope that it arrived with is top notch as well. Things I would have changed:The gun is incredibly long and heavy. It requires a 52inch scoped rifle case and most of the weight is in the front by the barrel. I would shorten the barrel so that the gun will balance and handle better in the field. This is less of a problem shooting off the bench. The gun came with a few nicks in the bluing and stock, as most chinese made guns do. The trigger is long, hard and creepy. It has not changed much after breakin. What others should know:This gun is a great value if you are looking for a very powerful/accurate hunting rifle. However it is very hard for me to shoot anything distant off hand due to the balance and weight of the gun.
Things I liked:The quality of the .22 & .177 pellets are very excellent, not a single bent skirt. Groupings are very consistent as with all of the RWS pellets. I shoot .6 ctc 20 yard groupings on a benjamin discovery 22.
Energy Retention in .177 is not as good as a Crosman Premier but better than a RWS wadcutter/hollowpoint. It is a good compromise

Energy Retention in .177 is not as good as a Crosman Premier but better than a RWS wadcutter/hollowpoint. It is a good compromise in between. Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:In .22 this pellet is similar to all of the other RWS pellets with nothing that makes it stand out. If you want to hunt you should use a RWS super hollowpoint for better expansion. If you want to target shoot you should use the RWS Meisterkugeln as it punches cleaner holes in the target. It has marginally better energy retention than the prior two.
Buy this only in .177
Things I liked:These pellets offer great impact and expansion for a hollowpoint design. The skirts are very thick and are less likely to deform. Accuracy and power is good up to 30 yards. Afterwards the power / pellet tends to drop off quicker. Things I would have changed:Nothing, but perhaps higher energy retention downrange while

Accuracy and power is good up to 30 yards. Afterwards the power / pellet tends to drop off quicker. Things I would have changed:Nothing, but perhaps higher energy retention downrange while retaining expansion abilities. What others should know:These pellets are perfect for hunting in the 15 - 25 yard range reducing the worry of over penetration. They consistently accurate and are a great alternative to Beeman Crow Magnums
Things I liked:These pellets are cheap and heavy. The very soft lead grooves well and gives me good accuracy in high powered 16+ ft/lb airguns. Things I would have changed:Factory packaging is poor. Although the tin is not dented the pellets are crammed in. As a result many skirts were probably bent or distorted, when the lid was

Things I would have changed:Factory packaging is poor. Although the tin is not dented the pellets are crammed in. As a result many skirts were probably bent or distorted, when the lid was screwed on. What others should know:Cheap price for accurate soft lead pellets. You get what you pay for.
Things I liked:These pellets are great! They have a very consistent weight between each pellet usually within .1 grains. The tins I ordered from the recent shipment have come in perfect condition. The 500ct comes in a tin MUCH larger than all of my other 500ct pellets from RWS & crosman premiers. There is also a sheet of foam in between the top

The tins I ordered from the recent shipment have come in perfect condition. The 500ct comes in a tin MUCH larger than all of my other 500ct pellets from RWS & crosman premiers. There is also a sheet of foam in between the top and bottom of the tin to pad the pellets. As a result I did not experience any bent skirts in my order. Things I would have changed:Nothing, but there are some reports that the pellets have arrived in poor condition. Mine arrived perfectly. What others should know:These pellets give me the noticeably better accuracy in my high powered airguns 14+ ft/lbs. My lower powered pellet guns 6ft/lbs do not exhibit as much of a gain. I shoot these pellets in my Benjamin Superstreak 22 and my Benjamin Discovery 22.
