Agree, the Ace is a good rifle, I have used a pump up for hunting in the past when I did hunt but that was one shoot on a rabbit, and at the range 20 yards head shoot it was dead has I pulled the triguer. Now , well I dont hunt, I cant use a pumper for a long period due to a part paralyisesd hand and a arm heald together with bolts and plates but I do love my pumpers, . Use it and enjoy it it is one of the best of its breed. But if you must use it for hunting then make sure its a killing and not a wounding shot please.
