just pour the bb-s in the hole on the top side of the gun- pellets go in one by one. yes it is an awesome gun package for the money

On the left side of the trigger housing there is a slide door. Push this door open and pour in the bbs. If you are going to use the pellets they are loaded one at a time into the barrel. Hope this helps. Knight

BB's load in a small slide open hole on the side, about where the front scope mount hit. The pellets you have to load one a time and its a pain for me with larger fingers when the scope is on it. Its a decent gun. If you are wanting to possibly squirrel hunt with it spend more money. Overall for the money its fun to play with.

I have the same weapon and it worked perfectly for me. It is a little tricky at first but you'll get it!

The gun can be a little on the heavy side so it's hard to hold steady free handed. If you put it on some type of support and it usually shoots pretty good. Also the cheaper pellets tend to wander all over the target. Buy the higher quality ammo. That should help out also.

Use the Allen keys that come with it and a bench rest. Make your adjustments at 30 FT or the distance they give you on a range. Checking your zero on the targets with live rounds. If you eyeball it at a shorter distance on a wall or whatever you be able to acquire the target mass faster but your going to need to fire the gun and move the laser as you go it's not hard. Most ranges have a wood block rest. Once you zero it in it's set check it from time to time make sure it's tight not over tight. Ok

If you can actually get it to hold zero for more than 5 shots, start at 10 yards and work your way out from there. If you're mounting it on a decent rifle it should be effective out to 50 yards depending on the type of pellets and wind conditions.

No problem. Everyone with a NAA .22 should have one as well as a laser on top. Makes for a truly fearsome HD weapon! Everyone at your range or gun club will ask where you got it! Lots of fun!!!

might sound dumb but make sure the rings are tightened and shoot at a 10-15 yard target dialing it in then move it back to what distance you choose it should hold a dime /nickle group, granted its not top of the line ,but wallmart has 30-50 dollar scopes that will be more then enuff for the gun

That's true the shot bags are a bit of a struggle to handle and set up, also, as provided, they tear and have to be repaired with mylar tape. But all this is still easier than piling on other shapes of weight bags.OBTW, don't fill the bags tight.Side note: My complaint with the whole Lead Sled line is that they have to be re-positioned after each shot. Recently my gun club's range bought a Hyskor rifle rest. It has a recoil dampening system like an artillery piece and only needs a little touchup between shots. Kind of pricey though.

It's going to rattle no matter what unless you have that thing precision made along with the bayonet lug and the rifle's birdcage. If you're that worried about rattle then you're in the wrong place at the wrong time to be moving around and skulking. It's use as a bayonet is a last resort close quarters option, not your first.

I think for hunting or plinking it is great. You may want more power for serious target work. It does look great on my Ruger 10/22.

I think you would benefit from leveling the gun with one that mounts on the top rail like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000V2OLC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421242478&sr;=8-1&dpPl;=1&dpID;=3186gV7%2BZNL&ref;=plSrchπ=AC_SX200_QL40 and then use a small level you can buy at any hardware store for $5 to level the scope. Just my two cents.

Mine came mounted; but then again, when *I* got it, the blister pack had already been cut open. It wasn't new, so I cannot guarantee that. ------ Personally, I took it off after 3 weeks. It was easier to range targets with the iron sights (trusting the red dot at different distances does not work, BB's fly in a REAL arc, and pellets less so, but, it is still either rising or falling - I believe the arc is about +4 inches, and point blank is at about 12-14 yards). If you keep the dot sight on it, mount it *forward* on the pistol "slide", it makes cocking it easier. You do not want to be smashing your dotsight to close the pistol for a shot. And the "green fishing line" F.O.'s work well. Even for my girls, age 8 and 10. --------- ps, great little plinker for accuracy. ---------- for FUN shooting, i got the umarex colt defender. all metal, 1.5 lbs like the real one, only CO2 for BB's, so it sucks for accuracy, if you want to get closer than 8" at 36 ft. but it is fun to plonk 16 shots in 6 seconds, without the pumping and loading. -------- Don't worry about it being installed, that should not be a deal breaker. I bought it cause it was about 5 bucks more, so the plan was to put it on something else anyways. It's just a pellet gun, so all you do is screw it on to the rails, I doubt the acronym MOA ever came up in the engineering discussions. you have to zero all sights for your environment, anyways, so just get it, and go film your new tv series "Squirrel Commander"! --------- Have FUN.

I think this will rely on your personal preference. This stock is to short for me to shoot regularly, but perfect for getting down the skinny stairwell of my old farm house. This would be a perfect set up for youth or very slight-framed adults. Something I don't see mentioned in other answers is that the shorter LOP widens the sight picture on the gun, and lets you bring the muzzle onto target faster (less length to swing around). This actually took some time for me to adjust to when shooting multiple targets, I would arrive at the next target so much quicker I was over shooting it.

As fast as you can cock it back and pull the trigger. The FPS of the gun is fairly low. It will hurt, but it most likely wont leave the kind of mark that a CO2, Greengas, or AEG weapon will.

Well its ok. but just make sure you're strong enough to attach the string to the bow. also make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. i lost one when it came undone and had to replace it. the last thing I'm gonna add ismake sure you are firing at a visible target. I've already lost all my bolts due to them going underneath the ground.

Well, Brad, you'll need dies (any of the major brands are good), but spend the extra $ and get carbide or tungsten dies. Then you won't have pre-lube your cartridge casings....which is messy and slow. For the Hornady Lock n Load, you need shell holders and shell plates - buy those from Hornady. Geez, Brad, after that just get yourself some reasonably clean brass cartridge cases (you'll soon find yourself scrounging em at your local range...!), some primers (I always use magnum primers .. Use can just use regular small pistol primers...but I like a big fat spark !) Then get yourself some powder (you gotta start somewhere...Bullseye is fine.), and pick up your favorite bullets. TWO MOST IMPORTANT tips I can give you are : 1. Buy a major-brand component manufacturer's reloading manual. (You'll end up with several : ) ! Lee has good ones and Hornady gives you a DVD with purchase of Lock n Load press...very well produced! 2. GO REAL SLOW for your first few loading sessions! No distractions and focus on what you're doing. Speed will come later. Loading your own is very safe and you'll get measurably better accuracy. But pay attention, Brad! We don't want to lose a fellow gunner to a reloading mishap! Finally, take some time to hang out at you local reloader's supply store. You'll find lots of folk will be eager to share their favorite loads with you. And the store employees might as well start getting used to you bein around! Keep yer powder dry, Brad. Lemme know if you've got more questions. Best, John All the major die makers will include a powder spoon...which I don't care for ... I want a good quality scale...It's comforting when you're weighing out buffalo loads!

I think you could mount a sight on top, it looks like it has a 2-1/2inch dove tail by the rear sight? It have to be like a tactical scope? Tho the scope would cost more than the gun its self & it only shoots at 230fp/s & its just a good can plinker at close range of 15-25 ft, you want to put a scope on something that's at least 450-1000 FP/s or more, & look for guns that have rails or dovetail for scopes,laser,lights?....
