Search no more... this is the best choice you can make, period. I only wish I would have gotten the .22 instead of the .177. I bought the scope, handpump and rifle combo ($400). I could not be happier. Gun is accurate, scope is awsome and hand pump does exactly what its supposed to do. I only wish I would have opted for the .22. I do have a couple derogatory points: The trigger should be (somewhat) adjusted during initial install, Just enough to have it usable. Mine had a super long pull and stiff. Very much unusable. Pumping up the gun with hand pump is tedious but gets easier every day. A month into owning the gun now and I can blast it out in two sets of a hundred and takes about 8 minutes. If that scares you a paintball co2 9oz vittle will give you around 500 shots per fill is self regulated (in warm weather), and screws right onto this gun. Tank cost about $25 and $3-$5 to fill. Buy good pellets. Stay away from walmart pellets they are thrown around and tend to be warped. Spend about but h&n match barracudas 10.34. Well hope this helped. Thanks. Jeremy (despized@gmail.com)
P.s. next in checking out barrel bands for improved accuracy...
