I'm interested in how it is. I'm thinking about ordering one myself. The best price I've found in Pyramidair $42.95+shipping.

Its been a few weeks, I'm not sure what I paid for mine, but I believe it was in the low $40 range.

For plinking around the garage it is fun.  I would not recommend it for air silhouette, because the downward and forward recoil means you cannot shoot it from the creedmore position, and shooting it offhand takes some getting used to.

The only real problem I had was that with my rear sight bottomed out I am still hitting about 2" high at 30 feet.  The front sight isn't quite tall enough imo.

But for goofing around the house I think I am getting my $40 worth of fun out of it.
