snap his hand off mate.i had one of these for 6 or 7 years, and i mullered it. i was putting a full tin of pellets through it most weekends plinking, then out doing a bit of ratting with it. the only problem i ever had with it that one of the screws came loose and fell out, but that was my fault as your supposed to check them regularly on a springer. it was absolutly bang on accurate, and when i got rid of it, the shop chronoed it and it was still on 11.4flbs. i would have another tommorrow mate.
