i already bought it. I don't have any regrets. Though some may be better quality, this is a decent starter that he will outgrow in a few years. In two or three years he will be big enough to shoot my old H&R pump and Springfield bolt 22lr. This was just to bridge the gap between the Red Ryder BB gun and our existing 22s.
Here he is shooting the BB gun in the spring and his compound in the summer.
