Falcon, funny you should ask: I've got two other brothers and years ago, the three ofof us decided to buy "break barrel" air guns. Naturally, we all chose different MFG's and Calibers. One went with the Gammo 440 hunter in .22 cal, the other went with the Beeman R1 in .20 cal. I went for a BSA supersport in .22 cal. All three of ours are wood stock and go from 850-1000fps. We've been pleased with each as they are all very different from each other in feel. No mechanical problems with any and we all put scopes on them. I think Gammo was bought out, Beeman isat most stores and the BSA was imported by a distributor on the east coast when I bought mine. All have beeen are fun for plinking and varminting. Hope this helps.
