Bought on an impalse a couple of weeks ago from Walmart for 148$. So I guess price wise middle of the pack as far as Walmart rifles goes.
Pros: Nice wood stock, fiber optic sights, 2 stage metal rigger that brakes clean with no travel whatsoever after it hits the first stage wall, not too heavy ( admittedly I haven't weighted it yet but feels good), smooth shot cycle that doesn't jump around ( gas piston here helps).
Super accurate at 25 yards ( haven't tried further yet as that is the extent of my backyard)
Cons: trigger although crisp weighted with trigger scale at 6.5#.(more on that later as just today I was able to reduce it to 4.5#)., was a mean woman to get it to group and took me the better part of the first week. It turns out it likes Gamo Rocket and ....what do you know cheapo Ruger Superpoints! To be continued later tonight...

My experience has been very similar to yours. Mine shoots well with CPDs and now with H&N Sniper Magnums and JSB Exact Jumbo Heavies.

Well uploading pics from my phone does not work. To summarize my huge post that dissipated in thin air, the trigger mode that I did today brought the second stage pull to a manageable 4.5 pounds vs the 6.5 factory. I wished I had done that earlier. I got the idea from a Tom Gaylord article. Pretty much took the stage adjustment screw out and did a few passes at my knife belt sander with 80 grit for a smooth round ball edge vs the sharp point that came factory. Polished it in 400 grit sandpaper and screwd it back on. Took me about 5 min. Screwed it all the way, took a couple turns out and voila: silky smooth pull to the first stage wall and a crisp brake at second stage. Measured it with my trigger scale a few times and it was bang on 2 pounds less just like the article mentioned.
Forgot to add to the pros earlier that it already comes with swivels and a sling. Came back from walmart an hour ago stocked with 6 tins of Ruger superpoint and two Gamo rockets.
