Pros & Cons
Pros
It lines up beautifully and true. Bought for my 9yo. He is tall and the adult fits him much better than the youth version. My neighbor uses one and encouraged me to get one.
Cocking it is simple and sweet. The gun looks just fine without doing that few seconds of polishing. It is easy to load and the cocking function is much easier than a previous bb gun we had. The only problem is it misfires a little too often.
The quality and craftsmanship is top notch. The wood feels like a fruit wood like apple or pear as opposed to something nicer like oak or walnut. The leather tassel and the engraving on the side are top notch too. Same fine quality and craftsmanship.
Cons
This is the worst bb gun i've ever had. The chance that it actually shoots a bb is about 3/10. Need to oil it about every 40 to 50 shots or the cocking lever grinds.
