A couple of people with the carbine version were at my club the other day and let me have a go. It was fun to shoot, felt powerful enough and I like the look. One of them was having trouble with the pump action being stiff and getting jammed pellets, not sure if this was typical or just because it was brand new and needed wearing in or that it was cold. If I didn't already have a Crosman custom 2400KT incoming I'd look at one of these.
