Things I liked:I purchased this rifle mainly because of the reviews and I was not dissappointed! This is a great rifle for the money. I got extra clips and can sit and just plink away 5 shots at a time. I found the rifle to be very accurate at 33 feet. It is so easy to cock that I can shoot for over an hour with virtually no fatigue. My 9 year old Grandgirl loves this rifle because with the stock in the shortest position it fits her perfectly and she can cock it by herself albeit with a little difficulty. Things I would have changed:This rifle needs no changes in my opinion. Things I liked:Because of my interest in the IZH-61, the rifle was purchased for me by my wife as a gift. I am impressed with the sturdy quality of this rifle being in the inexpensive price range. The extendable stock and pistol grip and modest weight are good features that give the rifle a carbine feel. After a good look-over right out of the box, reading the operating instructions, and swabbing out the barrel I eagerly loaded and fired 10 wad-cutters in succession into my pellet trap with no malfunctions. The side lever cocking ease of the IZH-61 should work well for youth, adult and the elderly (like me!). Having only fully wood stocked rifles in the past, I am pleasantly surprised at the overall feel of the IZH-61. It's going to be my "number one" shooter.
Things I would have changed:The five shot plastic loaders that come with the gun and the available accessory loaders could be at least six shot without being too obtrusive. Most pellets fit loosely and have a tendency to fall out of the little magazines; however, I solved this problem by using a pellet sealer to flare the pellet skirts after they were inserted in the magazine. The IZH-61 has no provision for a sling. I like my rifles to be slung so that I can walk down range hands free with the rifle. What others should know:The rail for accessory sights almost seems like an after-thought. A BKL Dovetail to Weaver accessory rail was needed to mount a red dot sight or scope. Comments
Thanks, Steve
Steve--Ray meant to write that he used a pellet seater (not sealer). Pellet seaters have been around for about half a century. Not until recently have they gained such incredible favor. Generally speaking, pellet seaters are intended for use with breakbarrel airguns. The IZH 61 is a sidelever AND a repeater that uses a removable clip. It looks like Ray is using the pellet seater for a slightly different purpose. Instead of using it to seat the pellet to a uniform/select depth, he's using it to flare the pellet skirts, thus creating a better seal and preventing or reducing air blow-by. This should deliver better accuracy, and it appears that's exactly what's happening in Ray's gun. Pyramyd Air sells several pellet pens for loading pellets into guns, but only one comes with a pellet seater that lets you adjust the depth of the pellet in the breech (and, presumably, gives you the option of how much you want to flare the skirt, as Ray is doing). Please cut-and-paste the following link into your browser window for the pellet pen with seater: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Pellet_Pen_and_Pellet_Seater_Loads_Seats_177_Pellets/4140

Things I would have changed:The scope rail is far too short,and it is very flexable,so the optics move around.
What others should know:My solution for the short/flexable scope rail was to use a pair of Crosman barrel clamp mounts I had laying around for my Crosman 2240's.This works GREAT!. I removed the rear sight from the 61 for clearance. I have uploaded a photo of this.The clamp mounts fit as if they were designed for this rifle.
