Hey there Savage arms I have one and it shoots very well it is a good gun to start with if you daont have the money for a more expensive one. I t will kill deer dead just as well as any MZldr. I shot a nice 10 point last year at about 75 yrds and he went down where he was standing. When target practicine i get good groups at 100 and really havent spent much time sighting it in. I am using 777 pellets two of them and 245 grain powerbelts with cci primers and have never had a problem with this combo.
