The Genesis has a synthetic stock with a raised cheekpiece on both sides, making this breakbarrel rifle suitable for lefties, too. Note the stippling on the grip. The thumbhole stock makes the gun lighter and gives you a better grip on things.
The forearm is also stippled. The micrometer rear sight has fiber optic tubes.
The fiber optic front sight is easy to see and makes the gun particularly useful for hunting at dawn and dusk.

Things I liked: Light attractive design. Pistol grip stock. Easy cocking for power output. Two stage trigger needs gentle squeeze for accuracy.
Things I would have changed: Less clunk in recoil
What others should know: Needs patientience to set up, and lots of practise to understand the quirks.

Can someone please provide the energy statistic for this rifle in Joules. Many thanks. David
I recently purchased one of these remington genesis air rifles for $15. I am just wondering what pellets are best suited for this rifle. I sighted it in with the good Ole Crosman pointed 7.4gr .177. Also I was wondering where the part 3 review is.

Things I liked: This rifle felt solid right out of the box. The cocking motion is smooth, and it's easy to aim without a scope. The grip is extremely comfortable. When I bought this rifle, it was the only USA-made break barrel on the market. It's a damn shame it has been discontinued.
Things I would have changed: The trigger guard. It's completely functional, but it doesn't do justice to the high quality feel of the rest of the gun.
What others should know: Accuracy will suffer for folks who've never shot a spring piston air rifle before, but those accuracy problems are not because the rifle doesn't shoot straight; it just isn't a pump action or pcp and has a reasonable amount of kick.
