Thought you guys would enjoy this thread. After fielding numerous questions on these rifles and how well they might stand up to useage, I thought I would have some fun in the snow.

Enjoy guys.

Not bad for a dirt cheap plastic fantastic.

PS, I do not sell firearms as a dealer. This is my rifle and parts that I am beating on for S&G's.

This is very scientific.

This is a new version of "Breaking in a Rifle".

Thank you for sharing Jerry. I don't a rifle that I would apply this "test" to.

All the tests are done. Low and High toss, 2x200yds drag including a pull using the trigger guard, sand box test and the ice cube

The rifle is thawed, cleaned, lubed and back in the safe with only a few minor dings and scratches. I was very surprised at how well this dirt cheap plastic fantastic handled the tests. I would have no reservations keeping one of these as a truck or quad rifle that is going to see rough conditions.

I am sure there are others that would do just as well so if you are bored and the winter gets a bit long, go have some fun. But be safe.

Enjoy and happy holidays.
