My son bought me a TK2000 early last year. I love it! Like cayaud said it kicks like a rented mule. At 40 yards it will put more pellets in a 30 in circle than any of our so called turkey guns. I plan on putting a red dot on mine also. I don't know which one. Last spring at the range a fellow told me my feet came 6 in off the ground when I fied that bad boy off the bench I was using 100 gr T7 loose. The recoil while a little heavy will not bother you.
