It is a dual caliber .177/.22 switch barrel rifle with break barrel cocking and comes with a 4x32 scope that seems to provide an ok image. I'm sure it would need to be resighted in for every barrel switch, but otherwise could prove to be a handy thing to have around. I can get it for under $100, though how much under remains to be seen, and it looks to be essentially brand new. Any input would be appreciated!

A few years ago I bought a Winchester model 1000 (made by Daisy) which is also a break barrel "1000 fps" air gun. All I can say is that it was the biggest waste of $150 I've ever seen. Right now I have a custom Crosman 1377 ($160) which is my .177 air gun. And a Benjamin 392 ($150) which is my .22 air gun. I say if you're going to buy a break barrel air rifle, spend the extra money.

Stick with a German made Beeman import or an RWS. If you just wanted something cheap for shooting cans or knocking off sparrows, the cheaper guns would be fine.
