Pros: Accurate, capable of shooting 3/4" groups@ 50yrds out of the box, will shoot any ammo, Win Power Points seem most accurate, great plinking gun and can be upgraded like anyother 10/22, lots of spare parts etc
Cons: This is my second, first one was defective, safety bar not machined correctly (gun fully replaced).

Charger is the one way in Australia still to own a 10/22 action firearm :-) (up yours Mr Howard) and as such can be played with and modded as long as you can import parts from the US, which is not as easy as one would like.
Apart from that this is great gun for fun on the range or bunny busting if one was allowed to. Its accuracy is a big plus even for novices to the sport as people can usually hit what they aim at when resting off a bench or prone position. I do find the grip a little large though shooting freehand but them’s the breaks and realistically it’s not really designed for such. The bipod seems decent quality and sturdy.
One could easily keep on spending with this firearm and making it better, I have removed the factory trigger and installed a trigger kit from Hornet Products improving it from a rather ordinary trigger and have also changed its housing from polymer to aluminum. This pistol can shoot a 15mm group (10 shots) from 50yrds and I would think now with the trigger kit I should be able to get sub 1/2" groups.
My one complaint is the colour and I know its petty but YUK. I would have preferred mine to be BLUE or RED. (it still might get that way soon – calling duracoat)
Great Gun for the $$$ and it costs peanuts to feed.
