Very easy to cock. Relatively light weight for a break barrel. Accuracy. Got a one inch spread with six shots at 30 feet with open sights, using RWS Diabolo Basics. It's described as a youth rifle, but the specifications matched everything I was looking for. Perfect for indoor shooting,
Things I would have changed:Nothing,
What others should know:You might have to remove the rear sight to mount a scope.

How much will the sights obstruct a red dot sight? Can they be easily removed? I'm considering the Hawke Vantage Red Dot 1X30 9-11MM to help my daughter keep a good cheek weld and the height over bore to a minimum.
The rear sight should be relatively easy to remove. The front will be more difficult. It would have to be cut off.The Umarex Embark would be easier to remove the front sight unit. The Diana 240 is really easy. There is a set screw that holds the unit on the gun. Otherwise the front sight will intrude almost halfway into the red dot field of vision.
Could a sling stud be installed so a bipod could be used?
No. This is a break barrel gun. You must shoot it free hand using a artillery hold or you will not get good accuracy.
very handy little lesson gun
part on and off sliding in stock and send price and shipping possible to t1m1h1 ab Canada have visa to pay thank you jerry

Great fit for my 10yo son.
Things I would have changed:Nothing comes to mind.
What others should know:Easy to operate for a 10yo child. Accurate enough to hit small plinking targets at 10-30 feet. Nice design. Good build quality. Have only fired 100-200 or so rounds so far.
