Personally I prefer single shot. I only plink and shoot targets and there is no need for fast follow up shots because I do not hunt. And if I did hunt and could not kill something with one shot I would not take the shot. Using the proper air rifle for hunting and target shooting is the difference between a pair of pliers and the proper wrench to do the job right. That is one beautiful rig. I would buy it if I had the extra funds...Best of luck Gene
