Well tbh I started off with quite low expectations when I was comparing it with my other guns, but I have been proven completely wrong, its a little gem. Light, compact , 30 inches but still a 17 inch barrel, well balanced, more than accurate enough and powerful enough for me (over 11.5 ft pound) . My PR900s WERE my primary ratting and bunny basher, but within days the NEM X has replaced both as my grab n go gun. I only want a better sight but its got to be compact as I have an aversion to adding weight to a gun I could be carrying all day. I'm already buttering up the wife cos I want a second one. I call it a poor mans Vixen or Ranger XR
