Very strong air rifle for a cheap cost. I really like how you only have to cock the barrel once rather then my old one where I had to pump it multiple times.

Iron sights built in A rail on top Better scope. Not sure if mine was just broken but I wasn't able to zero in the scope because the reticle kept moving up within the scope whenever I shot.

Scope isn't that good and you might want to buy a 11 mm dovetail to weaver converter so you can mount a different scope

Nice rifle..For the money you cant expect much more from a pellet gun.Its got power..I have a crosman tr77 and seems to have a stonger spring but i wont know till i put some lead through them both...Its a good rifle for the money..To bad after i bought it it came on special for christmas so its a real bargan now..

Stock seems a little light..

One of these days i am gonna see if i can remove the butt pad and try to add something inside it for more weight..

Outstanding springer for intermediate air-gunners. Even the serious plinkers ought enjoy the feel of this air rifle shouldered. It is a well balanced piece, though a tad light to my personal liking.

Scope-trigger-weight-and in that order

This air rifle, in the right hands can shoot just as it comes: however, recyling the 'el-cheapo' scope that comes with it for a REAL ONE will make it a shooter in most anyone's hands. Trigger upgrade will further improve groups. I suggest having a spare mainspring and barrel breach seal if you plan to do a lot of shooting with this rifle.

One of my favourite rifles to take hunting with me I've killed many rabbit with it. Very accurate and powerful.

I don't like the scope that comes with it it is very poor I had to get a new one scope because of the quality of it.

Very strong and fun gun you could probably take out a fox or a smaller coyote with it but I don't recommend you do.

Its Perfect. It has great power , great accuracy and a decent scope. It is a great air rifle for small game hunting or just for target shooting. It penetrates deeply , I have shot many axe bottles and even coins even though it did not go through the coin it did leave a big dent. It is great and it reaches far. Trust me the big cat is the one you want.

I would change the mount piece because the one that it comes with is not the best because the scope can move , but if you Are looking for a great piece check out the accu shot 1 piece mount by leapers its very affordable and its worth it. I would also suggest changing the scope because its decent but not the best.

Nope.

This gun is a perfect throw it in the truck plinker Very accurate if held correctly Also very light and I like the barrel construction Smooth to operate and not too loud so far I'm hitting my mark at 50 yards

The scope is not worth using They shouldn't bother putting it in the box but the mounts are good

If it's one thing I learned it's you have to hold these guns correctly to get results

Great velocity, nice looking gun, great penetration, no lacking in power, however the scope is next to useless, i have spent atleast 100 pellets just trying to zero in this scope with no luck what so ever. The first week or two it could hold its zero for maybe a day, but now it will not hold it's zero from the time it take me to walk back and forth from the targets. Therefore i cannot give a great description of its accuracy, however the little time i did have it zero'd in it was bang on.

The scope and scope rings are really really cheap, the very bare minimum.

if you are buying this rifle be prepared to atleast buy new scope rings, i am buying a new scope entirely. because i am so frustrated that the scope is limiting the great power of this affordable spring air rifle.

Accurate, Comes with Diecent Scope, Enough Knockdown Power for Rabbits and Squirrels

The Vibration and Recoil is Big but it is Expected in a Break Barrel and Spring Piston Air Rifle

Good Air Rifle for This Price Range, and for Beginner Air Rifleists

I liked the price. At first, the accuracy wasn't the best, but after a few tins of pellets the groups tightened down significantly.

Nothing. The trigger is not very good, but for the price this is a great gun.

This is my first "serious" air rifle, and I have loved it.

For the money it is a nice spring air rifle. Good speed and accuracy is decent.

Everyone talks about the scope... enough said, it isn't great. Take your time and find ammo that works well. I find that crossman premier hp's do well enough.

Folks speak of getting the rifle tuned, I have not done so and I would like some input on where to purchase a spring compressor of decent manufacture that doesn't require a ton of cash, or perhaps a good recommendation on who to contact and send it to in order to sweeten it up. That would be preferable as I don't really wish to do much more than regular maintenance and cleaning as long as the price is right. Anyhow back to the rifle. It shoots well, fast, and accurate, for the money you could do much worse.

the rifle seems to be well built and the ease of operation makes it that much more of a value. not having fired any kind of gun for about twenty years, after two sighting sessions getting the scope dialed in, i am shooting 6 inch circles at roughly 100 feet. i believe the accuracy range is probably alot longer but so far that is the most i have been able to try. i am glad i bought this gun and am considering an air pistol next, gammo will be on my list of possibilities.

the gun has a pretty surprising kick make sure any novice users out there dont get the scope too close to their eye, my cousin cut under her eyebrow when the scope came back and hit her.

After figuring out what pellets my big cat liked best (JSB Exact 8.4g) and using the artillery hold, was able to put together some tight groups. Surprising accuracy! Trigger is not the best, too much creep and unpredictable for me. Replaced factory scope with BSA 4-32 AO air rifle scope. Nice air rifle for the money.

Good adult entry level break barrel air rifle.

Nice feel to this weapon...Easy to hold..I like the safety.

When I read the review for loudness, it said medium..Guess that means that a 50BMG is kinda loud..Not as accurate as I'd like, perhaps I'll find a pellet that this weapon likes.

I doubt if I buy another Gamo .22 springer...Sparrows/starlings can dodge the pellet (HN Barracuda Power -21.14gr)at 35yds. Haven't chronied them yet, but they're slow.

Overall it felt good in my hands and grouped very well out of the box, I believe with time it will more accurate. This was bought for my uncle so he's the end user.

For the money the scope isn't bad, but for the price what do you expect? I would liked to had open sight on it or at least included.

For a entry level gun this really isn't a bad gun so far. At least it isn't made in China! I would buy better optics for it though, but what came with it will do.

Reliable and accurate.

I got it in .22 which only comes with the black stock, I would of preferred the green stock. Oh that's why man created paint.

Great gun, couldn't ask for anything better. With this gun the pest don't stand a chance. Just make sure you try different pellets as my gun was picky.

Shoots really nice. Very accurate.

The scope is the worst part of this gun. It needs better optics.

The gun is very loud.

Very powerful gun, has good looks

The rifle should also come with a ramp sight, some people might not like using a scope, which has to be zeroed in.

Great accuracy, easy cocking effort, good handling, stockedfor a scope.

Better trigger with weight-of-pull adjustment. This gun will also rust very easy, and VERY fast if good care is not taken off rip. It's not THAT loud, but it will certainly alert some of the neighbors so if you are planning to use this in a suburban area, think twice.

Outstanding value at this price. The gun is nice all around to it that should definitely get you into shooting.

Lots of power! Accurate, well built, great value for the money.

The scope it come with is trash, buy a new one. Does not hold zero.

Don't let the junk scope run you off. This is a great gun for the price. My friend liked mine so much after using it, he ordered himself one. As well as a new scope.

Excellent accuracy, easy cocking effort, nice handling, stocked perfectly for a scope

Better trigger with weight-of-pull adjustment, but the stock unit is not bad at this price point. I have purchased a Charlie Da Tuna trigger to squeeze the last bit of accuracy out of my gun

Outstanding value at this price. Shoots readily-availabe Crosman Premier HP hunting pellets very accurately. Scope is perfectly adequate, as are the mounts (when installed correctly). The recoil stud in the rear mount must be "bottomed out" (but NOT excessively tightened) in the receiver hole provided. If this is done, the scope won't move. A little Loctite on mount screws will ensure that everything stays put
