I own one, it's pretty accurate. I bought it used for 300 bucks. I don't know if I would pay what they want for new one (unless the prices have dropped). It's a nice rifle but if I had it to do over again, especially with rifles that are available now I probably would go with something different.

You do have to keep them clean and I didn't care for the trigger on mine much. That's ok because it broke on my rifle and I had to get it replaced ( not the guns fault, it was mine). My gunsmith replaced it with a much better trigger and I like it a lot.

I had a BSA 3.5-10x50 catseye scope on it, but I'm getting something different for this season I think. I currently use 95 grns of 777 fffg with Precision Rifles 350 grn polymer tipped bullets. I sight in at 130 yards and shoot out to 150 with it.

Mine is a bit heavy, but it handles recoil well.
