I have a friend that bought one to shoot bench rest with our group indoors in the winter, we shoot at 30 yards and the rifle never did perform well at that distance but that's not what it was made for ! He tried many high end pellets but never got it to shoot well past 10 meters (its intended use) That being said if that is your game (10 meters) it would be an OK starter rifle for that purpose. Hope this helps you make a decision!! J. L.
