Outstanding, one thing new air rifle owners don't do is read the instructions, the barrel will have a storage oil in the barrel and it MUST be burned off buy shooting it, you will see the barrel smoke the first 15 round you shoot it, I recommend a nice cleaning kit for the 177 caliber, 10 bucks, its a small cable that is used, my rifle was shot 50 to 60 times before I ever started sitting it in, I have an old friend that seen mine shoot out to a 50 yard target, setting on a rest table, he ordered his and complained it was all over the place at 50 yards, told him what I just told you and its still setting in the corner :lol: he is stubborn,. So be sure to do this before sighting in, at least 30 rounds. Mine is 7 years old. It has never let me down, my nephew borrows it because he has killed more squirrels with it then his 22.
