Product Description
The PowerLine TargetPro is perfectly engineered for the beginning competitive shooter, though it's also a great small-game rifle, and lots of fun for recreational shooting. With just one pump, a shooter gets loads of power, for accurate shooting at the target range, or in the field. With its 5-shot clip, follow up shots are fast, too. The single pump cocking lever, straight-pull bolt action and the fiber-optic sights are easy for beginning or intermediate shooters to use. Plus, the outstanding balance and superior accuracy of the TargetPro gives shooters exactly what they need to hone their skills and earn their stripes in both the woods and in competition.

Accurate, Solid after Initial Problems
By Alexander Jhin
This single pump pneumatic air rifle makes me grin ear to ear. At about 30 ft it easily puts pellets in a group small enough that the holes all overlap (and the .177 caliber rounds leave tiny holes.) It feels solid weighing about 6.5 lbs. The plastic parts are smooth and well made though some of the metal components aren't machined perfectly. The rubber clips and single shot loaders seem solid if a little imprecisely made. The clips, which hold 5 shots, can actually slide around while in the rifle and it's difficult to tell when the clip is empty. Loaded pellets via the single shot loader can take some careful coordination and can easily fall out until the bolt is closed.The 6lb trigger press feels a little bit heavy for true precision shooting but good for preventing beginners from mistakenly firing. Some people have complained that the trigger feels crunchy or clicky but I haven't noticed this. Out of the box, the built in sights were zeroed horribly and adjusting them requires a tiny Allen wrench (which I assume most people don't have.) The sights are fiber optic, which takes in ambient light to make them glow. This make them easy to find but the rear sight makes them difficult to line up. I quickly gave up on them and instead switched to the Daisy 5899 Receiver Sight, which at first didn't want to mount but after some jiggling, seated fine. After adjusting the sights, it fired beautifully accurate.The pumping action requires a decent amount of strength and is made harder by the slightly awkward shape and balance of the weapon. The first couple of shots we tried to fire malfunctioned, requiring a second pump and fire. We followed the directions to the letter, but it may have been user error (we were all pistol shooters, so we have slower trigger presses, which may have caused the air to leak rather than pop.) After a couple of fires requiring an extra pump, the weapon began to fire perfectly. The rifle has a redundant mechanical safety as well as not firing while the bolt is open or when the rifle has not been pumped.This rifle is a fun diversion or introductory weapon: safe for intermediates to fire inside and good for beginners who don't want to be frustrated by inaccurate BB guns. Its certainly not perfectly accurate or perfectly made but well worth the relatively cheap cost. And ammo only costs about 1-2 cents a shot.

Near paper punching Perfect
By Daniel K
It does what it is supposed to do with near flawless accuracy.No it's not a hunting gun or a 50yd field target shooter.It is an excellent 10 yd Target gun.Reasonable trigger that is predictable, decent barrel, with a single stroke power-plant that will propel your light weight wad to near 500 fps insuring great aim for 10 yds Round nose = 20 yds accurately.Makes a shooter out of many.Target shaped stock is proper and comfortableFive pellet clip and single pump makes for less effort.A good rifled barrel and accuracy means more fun.I own many guns and if target practice is your goal it is near impossible to do better for the money.Lightweight, good rifled barrel, great loading system, I use it often.

I have many air rifles in my collection. This is as good or better than many that cost many times as much. It shot great right out of the box. I mounted a decent scope and can easily hold dime size groups at 10 meters. I would happily recommend it.
