My wife gave me this rifle for Father’s Day. It's the best present I’ve ever received. I’m 63 years old and have been shooting air rifles since I was old enough to pick one up. This rifle is the finest I’ve ever owned and I love it so when I started looking for a few answers online,you forum popped up and it was very interesting so I know I can add and share my experience.

Welcome to the forum. I'm well older than you and only recently got into air rifles after a lifetime of powder burners.
Welcome to the forum. What make & model was the prezzy. You can't keep us in suspense like this Smile

Hey welcome to the world air powered guns.
Its a slippery but enjoyable slope.
Dam fun. Totally convenient. All the skill of powder, on much smaller scale. Opens up a whole new world of shooting areas, where a powder burner isn't an appropriate gun choice, or if you just want that bit more of a challange.
Yep welcome to the slippery slope. 👍

Welcome jerrycare2.   From another newbie. I also would like to know what the great present was as I am also looking for a rifle to use.
I know you will get a lot of help from these shooters.
ENJOY.Clap
