The make of this gun is very solid and it does not remind me of a red rider as most air guns do. I am satified with the purchase of the .22. Just to clarify there is a .177 and a .22 model, both are air guns but the .22 is a heavier pellet for small game. You must select the model you want from the drop down or you will get a .177 by default. The fastest pellet you can get is the PBA platinum which average 1063fps on the .22. You will not have to worry about breaking the sound barrier as a previous buyer mentioned, you would have to get to 1116fps to hear the loud crack so this model is nice for residential pest control.

Over all this is a great product for what it is- A Pellet Gun. The Silent Cat .177 is a well constructed system, stock, and action. Out of the box with the iron sights (which are green/amber/green fiber optic) I was holding a nickel sized group at 15 yards with the Rocket PBA pellets that came with the gun. I had realistic expectations as far as the muzzle report goes, knowing the gun claims 1250fps and the speed of sound is 1115-1125fps. The Rocket PBA ammo (5.4 grains) cracks similar to a .22LR, you can also hear the "echo" as the pellet is traveling. The Rocket pellets (non PBA)are nearly twice as heavy (9.6 grains) and slower, therefor quieter. With the normal Rocket ammo I would compare the noise level to just quieter than a daisey ten pump pellet gun.
The stock is asthetically pleasing, but if you have man sized hands it can get uncomfortable putting pressure on the back of your thumb bone (not going to look up the name of that bone, lol). I'm 5'9" with a medium build...Read more
So far so good.,

Replaced a Crossman that bit the dust after an extremely short period of time. This unit has nice hitting power, and shoots consistently. I paired it up with the Benjamin Discovery .22 Cal, 14.3 Grains, Hollowpoint, 500ct pellets. These are a lot more accurate than the cheap stuff out there. The definition of cheap to me is when your fingers can smash the pellets with no effort. keep an eye on the price before you buy the gun, it sems to bounce around 25 bucks.
