it has good range. its hopup unit is one of the best ive ever seen but the gun mis feeds to common so it doesnt shoot steady. great gun for a sniper or cqb but i wouldnt use it for assault in a field game as my first choice. and iron sites suck no rails for a site either

The rifle is short compared to the average, it measures like 37 inches long. It definitely has more power than a bb gun, the average fps is 550~600 with lead pellets and up to 750fps with non-lead pellets. I recomend this gun for benginners and youth people.

Should be fine. It may not sit as low on the rifle as you hope to. But it should be more than good enough.

Spring rifle is a good starter gun but get an electric rifle instead. G&G;, AGM, Cyma are good brands.

You'll put some serious "pock-marks" in it if you shoot it with the .223. Get a gong, they're more robust and can handle the higher velosity rifle rounds.

I own this scope and I have left a review about it on here. I would have to say no. It is an outstanding scope for target shooting. It is big and heavy for a scope. It has tons of great features. However I am going to assume that because you are going to put this on a Ruger American. You're going to hunt with this gun. I would not want to lug this around in the woods. Remember this has a 30 mil tube and not 1 inch so you're going to need some big scope mounts. Also while the recoil of the .243 is not heavy the scope is (weight). The inertia created my the recoil might start to loosen the scope mounted to the gun, because the scope is really that heavy. The gun will recoil and attempt to move the scope back with it. And because the scopes weight will put a lot of strain on your mounts. I would sudgest a Nikon Pro staff 3x9x40 with the BDC recital. I have this scope one so many of my guns. Use the Nikon spot on software on Nikons website, input your factory ammo info and you know exactly where the bullet will hit a multiple distances. Really an outstanding idea and it's at half the cost and the weight.

it is quite heavy but I believe it will help with stability and aiming. Cocking it should not be an issue for a 12 year old. But keep in mind this rifle IS NOT a toy. It is powerful and that is why I bought it. My yard was over run with squirrels. But not anymore!! I hope this helps. Good luck!

I think so. I was really pleased with the purchase. It shoots real fast and is pretty accurate. I would suggest getting a speed loader(the cheap ones work just fine) because the magazine holds about 30 bb's and if you shoot in auto it will shoot them pretty quick. Other than that.... In my opinion the gun is pretty much well made and haven't given me any problems so far.

I bought this rifle about a year ago and it has let me down yet. Its build pretty solid. So as long as you take care of it properly you shouldn't have a problem. Its very accurate especially if you use the PBA Platnium pellets. I would recommend it to anyone. 5 out of 5 hands down.

I shot a rabbit with it the other day. The rabbit sat there for quite a while. Then dropped over dead..I thought I had missed..Yes went right through the rabbit. I'm very pleased with the rifle after I sighted it in.

I mainly bought it for hog, but have not had the opportunity to go deer hunting yet. Although, I plan on going soon (this year)! As far as it being good for deer hunting, I read 100s of reviews before settling on this one and saw many cases where people had taken down decent size deer with it. I would think you need to be decent at tracking as I doubt you will drop it where it stands, but once you get it sighted in and can make a fairly accurate kill shot, it shouldn't be hard to find. Also, I did purchase some broadheads to go with it as well. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions and I will answer them if I can. ;)By the way, I assembled it in under 10 minutes. Very Easy!

I have a can of bear spray and it is much bigger than this. When I was in bear country, I carried that big can AND a .44mag Ruger Alaskan with me. That said, if were being attacked by a bear, and all I had was this little can of Sabre, I'd sure use it! But if you are planning on going hiking in bear country, I'd get something specifically for bear.

I am using it on my 223 and its awesome. I use it for long range woodchucks and coyotes.

I use the gun mostly for fun and have neither had it very long or really abused it.... Having said that - the scope meets my needs. If you are using this for hunting, serious pest-control, or just demand the best - you will probably want to upgrade the scope. Then again, if you are that serious, you are probably looking at the wrong gun entirely.

Personally, I think it would be very good on that rifle. It's a clean, simple reticle and the center dot would be fine enough for squirrels out to 50 and target out to 100. The illumination of the center dot would also be helpful in dark woods. I recommend getting a good mount, and as light a mount as possible.I recommend the AeroPrecision extended mount. It is only 3 ounces. if you are patient can probably find one for 60-70$.Hope this helps.
