it's a great little 'target' springer with excellent accuracy, but has little use in most hunting situations. They are popular 'basement/backyard' guns. I even worked up a couple tunes for them that make them as close to recoilless as recoiling springer can get. After tuning, velocity runs 620-640 fps with 7.9 Premiers ( depending on individual gun). Women like them because the cocking effort is only 18 lbs. RB
