I've got one, in .177, cracking gun,very accurate i use it for rabbits, squirrels,rats,pigeons,just about anything really,mostly use it through the summer,I've shot a fair bit of stuff with it, can tend to be a bit heavy but i find most weirauchs are anyway if you've been carrying them for long enough but with a sling fitted there should'nt be to much problem,i would recommend one but each person to their own.
