Well, they are not for everyone. They are quite hold-sensitive so take a bit of practice to get used to, and you will need to get parts from specialist sources like Maccari and Bonnie & Clyde. But they are as good as any modern break-barrel in terms of performance and better than nearly all of them. Also, for smaller adults, women and youths they are a great choice for an all-day rifle. They come with sling-swivels as standard which is a nice touch too.So.....are they any good then???
