Awesome BB Gun
Pretty awesome gun. Def powerful, I was able to shoot through a plastic cat litter tub (empty) from 30 yards away. Easy to pump, loads easily too from the bolt. Love the style. The addition of the scope is pretty awesome, and was better than I expected. Wish there was better instructions for tuning the scope (just says Up and O or something for elevation for example, so not sure which way is what), but it has covers for the adjustments after they are made. I was able to sight it in pretty well after several shots. Holds a ton of BBs also which is nice. Only other minor complaint is the BB door kinda opens easily with handling. All in all, def worth it!

Good power and quality at a good price
This air rifle is nothing like my old Daisy bb gun I had as a kid. It really packs a punch, is 2 different size bullets capable and after some sighting in time for the scope, very accurate. This has made a difference with the amount of bird food I was losing to the fat squirrel population in our area. Using the scope a bb stings their butt just enough to keep them away.

Not bad
Great pellet gun. Do not shoot bbs with this gun as the barrel is rifled and bbs will destroy any barrel that isn't smoothbore. Also, the ironsights are better than a scope because the dovetail rail on top isn't aligned with the barrel.

Nice Bang for the Buck
So far, so good. Easy to mount the scope. Directions for sighting it in are included in the manual. Some say it's useless, but it's not. What it is, is a fixed-focal length scope. If you aim it at something close (less than 20 feet away) the image will appear blurry. That is by design. If you shoot things up close and personal, then remove the scope. If not, leave it on and sight it in. 10X pumps is the MAX. Anyone dumb enough to go above that is just asking for problems. I use pellets for varmints in the yard. Accuracy is very good with scope. I don't find it obnoxiously loud. Some people have written that the manual says "do not use BBs" as the barrel supposedly has rifling. I'm not sure about the barrel, but if it is - I would probably not shoot them. BUT - I AM sure that it doesn't say that in the manual at all. Gives no preference of ammo, one way or the other.

A really GREAT pellet gun, a BB gun...not so much.....
It states that this is a "BB/Pellet Gun". It should be stated as a "Pellet/BB Gun". While shooting pellets at 35 feet, it is SUPER accurate, grouping 5 shots within a circle the size of a quarter (eight pumps and open sights). I didn't mount the scope. It is basically useless. The target viewed through the scope is very fuzzy and basically no magnification. I was hoping the scope would work well, as it has a very nice mounting rail that it appears would remain accurate once sighted in. I didn't have to adjust the rear sights, even though they are adjustable.The fiber optic sights are excellent and very easy to see. The pistol grip stock is great. Now for the bad....at the same distance and number of pumps, the best I could do with BB's was a 5 1/2 diameter "grouping". I had no idea where they were going to hit. So, if you want a BB gun, you probably want to get something else. If you want a pellet gun, get this one...it is VERY accurate and shoots hard! THE ABOVE WAS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE GUN....NOW: I oiled it with 30W non-detergent oil as stated to do in the owners manual(same as I use in my lawnmower) and stored it in my garage. I took it out two days ago (about 4 months after purchase) and now I can't get it to pressure up. When it does semi-pressure up, the best I can get is a 12 inch diameter "grouping" at 45 feet. At that distance, with the sights adjusted at max, it still drops 10-12 inches from where I aim. The gun is basically worthless. ONE MORE UPDATE: I purchased the gun on 11-28-2016, arrived 12-05-2016, emailed Josh (Service Dept) 3-22-2017 of the above problem, no response. Talked to Josh on 6-6-2017. He said he needed the order number and that he would send a replacement gun. I left him a message that day, 6-6-2017 with the order number, no response. I sent him an email on 6-24-2017. NO RESPONSE. Bottom line....if you need to return or have service GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. IT DOESN'T EXIST WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!

Not a good pellet gun.Ok for bbs.
The scope is trash and the pellets are hard to load without needle nose pliers.Cheaply made.Ok for the money but very hard to load pellets.Misfires a lot.Like the air leaked out.

Decent for the price
This rifle is handsome, lightweight and comfortable to hold. The pump seals appear to be of good quality and promising a long service life. First things first: I would not shoot BB's in it. The manual refers to the rifled barrel as "delicate". We all know that steel BB's can damage a rifled barrel, let alone a delicate one. Some warts and pimples: - The unique safety is finger breaking stiff to operate. A few drops of oil help. - The bolt action feels stiff and gritty. A drop of oil again. - The cam which locks the pump lever in the closed position is a bit stubborn. A drop of oil again. - The arrangement that the rifle can only be pumped with the bolt open is awkward. Lawyers ruling over engineers! - The trigger pull is heavy and gritty. I did not have the means to measure it but it feels about 5-6 pounds. It is crisp however, and with practice you know where the crosshairs are when the trigger breaks. - Loading pellets is cumbersome at best. The loading port is shaped like a groove or a channel and recessed into the body of the rifle by about half an inch, so a pellet cannot be placed in it, it has to be dropped from that distance. It drops in just right about half the time, more often than not it drops either standing up or upside down, or pointing backwards, or falling into the BB's magazine. When the latter occurs the manual instructs you to take the gun to a gunsmith. This is silly nonsense. All you need to do in this case is open the BB's loading door, shake the gun around a bit, and the truant pellet comes right out. This by the way will save you multiple trips to a gunsmith. The best part of this rifle is accuracy exonerating all of the above. With Winchester pellets, the scope zeroed, I get 5 shot 2-1/4" groups at 15 yards. One flyer removed, the group is 3/4". This is as good or better than the Umarex Ruger 10/22 without the headaches of leaking CO2. A word about the scope: It is very basic but it is not trash as other reviewers have stated. The field of view is very narrow and when mounting the scope you must adjust the eye relief distance to get any view at all. Clarity is good and you may adjust the eyepiece focus but it does not make much difference. The windage and elevation turrets do not click, you have to go by half turns, quarters, and eighth turns, not a problem. With the iron sights (they are actually plastic) I get comparable accuracy at 15 yards. The fiber optic sights are clearly visible in daylight. The rear sight is adjusted by a screw in a slot which allows it to slide sideways. With the screw reasonably tight you can still swivel the sight around the screw for fine adjustment. Whether this is a fluke or deliberate design I have no way of knowing but it works either way.
