Accurate shooting right out of the box

Having recently decided to upgrade my pellet shooting from a Gamo Raptor Whisper, which is an OK rifle...to this all I can say is wow. Just received it and fired some and hoping that the cocking will get easier as you go cause it is a bear...that alone could make it unusable should it fall into a child's hands if your not practicing safe gun handling measures... This is what an air rifle should be. It is heavy, beautiful and deserves to be hung on a wall...BUT that isn't what you buy it for... The overall quality is excellent. Anyone serious about air gun shooting should at the least consider this rifle in all calibers. I do not think you would be disappointed.

Maybe be more detailed in the instruction manual. Some of the hardware may not be understood if you didn't already know what it is...like the scope stop.

Beautiful gun. Nice beefy stock and nice adjustable cheekpiece. Nice heavy weight for target shooting but not for hunting.

QUALITY CONTROL! ENTIRE GUN ALIGNMENT! SCOPE RAIL MOUNTED OFF CENTERLINE OF GUN. BARREL/BLOCK NOT CENTERED AT END OF COMPRESSION TUBE. Stock scratches way too easily. A plastic clip on my sling scratched the side of the stock.

Gun would not shoot accurate even after hundreds of various types of pellets, especially when varying distance. Went to give the gun another chance and after taking the scope off, shot with open sights and could not believe how far I had to move the rear sight to the left to get it on point. I knew something must be wrong. I looked down the centerline of the gun from the back. From center of butt stock looking down centerline to front sight...I was shocked to see that the SCOPE RAIL was WAY OFF the centerline of the gun, in the direction of 1 o'clock. This means that the distance the gun is sighted in is the ONLY distance the gun will shoot accurately, because now you not only have a vertical crossing point, but you are introducing a horizontal axis crossing point as well. TWO AXIS ONLY CROSS AT ONE POINT. Everything MUST be on on a VERTICAL PLANE
This was not the only issue! I noticed the SLOT in the end of the COMPRESSION TUBE was also OFF CENTER!

It a beautiful piece of iron works and wood.

This this is loud as a 22. Definitely work on how loud it is.

I still havent used it enough to know about its accuracy. Other than the one time to test it out in my somewhat country back yard and it was loud as F!! So my star review is based on just the one time I tried it. I will re- evaluate once Ive put some lead thru it.

Trigger is nice, helps with accuracy. Solid weapon. .22 hits hard even at range. I have firearms that arent as nice as this one. I like the cheek adjustment and buttpad. I mounted a scope and its pretty awesome. Its nearly as accurate as my Marlin model 60.

Its heavy and takes some oomph to cock. Wish the finish were a little more robust.

This is a real weapon and though its really a one shot hunting application (youll be hard pressed to get a second shot), its accuracy at range and power definitely makes this an acceptable hunter. Get a sling, its heavy. For target shooting its a joy. You wont be disappointed.

wood stock

Very accurate, well made this thing hits hard and shoots outstanding for the money, I bought 2 of them one .30 CAL and one .25 CAL both shoot Polymags and JSBs .30 CAL 50.15gr and JSB .25 25.39gr very well sighted at 25 yards hole in hole. I put a UTG 3x9x40 hunter scope on both with UTG 1 piece high mounts because these do have a pretty good kick to them and that mount and scope stay dead on all the time.

Nothing really.. good value for the price what can you say for an inexpensive brake barrel rifle.

It takes a while to get used to cocking it its a little hard at first but I got used to it and you can tell the power it makes when you pull the trigger. This is not a kids BB gun at all. Perfect on squrrels and chipmunks anchors them where they stand.Pyramyd Air is great to deal with. I recommend the 10 for 10 so you know its good out of the box.

I thought having a .30 pellet gun would be a fun toy, this is not a toy by any means. This is my first air gun in over 30 years, man has the landscape changed. I cannot believe the exit holes this thing makes at 30 - 40 yards. This could easily take out a raccoon or similar sized game in under 50 yards. Huge value for the money with this gun.

This thing has a much larger kick than I was expecting for an air gun. Definitely not for the first timer our first gun for the pre-teen shooter.

The FPS may not seem impressive, but the knockdown power of this gun is second to none.

I like everything about this rifle its got a beautiful wood finish definitely a higher end break barrel. Its deadly accurate out to 50yds havent had a chance to shoot it further. Great buy

Wish it came with a sling its heavy when you add a scope

Buy weaver scope mounts

The gun is great. No problems. Love it.

Someone needs to come up with a cock assist. Wow it's hefty but worth the effort.
