Things I liked:As the owner of 70 or more pellet guns,rifles in .22 and .177 cal., pistols in both cals., most all spring propelled but a few pumps, and all purchased from Pyramid Air, this rlfle deffinately impressed me immediately. I was first pleased at the light weight of the weapon, I chose the .22 cal. synthetic stock model, but what most excited me was the fact that I was sighting in a scope on another gun at approximately 60 yrds. when I recieved the new Mendoza. Just for fun I armed the Mendoza right out of the box and with no adjustments at all I fired at the same target from exactly the same distance using only the open ramp sights that were on the gun. The first hit was a clean bullseye in a 5.5 x 5.5 Gamo target. Just to see if it was a fluke I reloaded and fired again. The 2nd round was also a clean bullseye about one quarter inch to the right of the first round. I was of course firing from a seated position with a barrel rest made out of rolled up towels, as I had been with the scoped rifle. I'm a 56 yr. old man with the eyesight to go with it so all the credit goes to the dead on accuracy of the Mendoza as it left the factory. Cudos to Mendoza. Things I would have changed:With a fps. of 950 in .22cal. combined with the light weight and the exstrordinary accuracy I wouldn't make one adjustment, not even to add a scope. What others should know:If you are a beginner with no real specific purpose for a rifle other than to try your hand at plinking or maybe some pest control around your property this is a product you should seriously consider. With an excellent price and plenty of knock down power with-in 50 yards using the right pellets the Mendoza .22cal. is your gun.

Things I liked:POWER,weight,auto safety Things I would have changed:Rear sight - Stock material ! What others should know:The power is worth price paid. 1. The stock is made out of some kind of soft wood or composite. DENTS & DINGS will definitely show up.With this stock the rifle is about 1 lb lighter then the walnut stock version. 2. Rear sight - NOTHING good to say about it !! If you can, replace it or mount a scope. The LFT / RHT adjustment is limited. If you go to far Right or Left when you cock the rifle the sight will hit the inside of the stock. Therefore messing the rear sight up and the stock.
