I have owned 2 of them over the years, my current one bought in 2010 is excellent. While I thought it was lubricated properly at around 300 rounds I put some oil on the linkage areas where you cock it and it must have been bone dry as it smoothed out a lot after that in the pumping dept.
I run open sights on my mine with those nice fiber optic types. This rifle does well at 50 yards from a bench using the "artillery hold". Have never got anything hunting with it though. I use my multi-pump Daisy 901 for pest birds.
