I have one. They're big, long and powerful for a breakbarrel. Mine is very accurate with the right pellets, however this is not an easy springer to shoot accurately. They have a lot of "kick" in the shot cycle with a big spring firing a heavy piston. All this movement happens before the pellet leaves the barrel therefore, you have to really "learn" how to hold and shoot one. I wouldn't recommend this gun for a first time springer. FWIW, I agree with xposo, the hw95 in .177 or .22 will serve your needs very well. They have less power, but are much easier to shoot accurately.
