    I've got 2 of them one black one cammo. It's a pretty accurate weapon. the "peep" sights are a little hard to get use to but when you do they're nice. The only problem i have is the "cap" that goes over the butt is hard to get on and off but It has to be tight to keep it on and water tight. ( I dropped one of mine in the water and they do float). I recommend you get one I think you'll like it. FYI they do have a dove tail to put a scope on if you want but it won't fit in the stock with one on.

    I've got one for my survival kit I put together and it's just what I needed for a backpack,its lightweight,its simple in the way it works and is easy to clean,accurate up to about 50 yards once you get use to the peep site.

    Do you think that those might have been good questions to answer before you bought it?

    patriot as I said earlier in post I own 2 of them. If you clean it regularly you shouldn't have a jamming issue. As far as ammo any GOOD QUALITY .22 should be okay. I use winchester superX for all of my .22's but that's my personal preferance.

    Two weak links, sheet-metal cheap-o mags (at least my Charter Arms was) and not that "left-hand" friendly. Not my last pick for a survival rifle but certainly not not my first.

    that's about how i feel about them as well.

    they aren't bad, and any rifle with a straight barrel can be improved, but my only beef with it is that it's got a stock butt like two bricks taped together.
