Just went to wholesale sports to buy a pellet gun to fart around with in the backyard. I initially was set on a diana 240 but when i held it i could not get a cheek weld if i tried. the sights were just too low profile and i couldnt see them at all, and i dont want to scope a backyard plinker.
The only other Air rifle they had in stock under $200 was the ruger explorer youth model. I held it and while it has a short LOP it felt comfortable and i could see the sight clearly and comfortably.
I took it home with a tin of RWS Hobby pellets for $110 out the door, and at that price i wasnt expecting much. This thing is super accurate and really surprised me, i am easily getting dime sized 10 shot groups at 10 paces with the irons and nailing cans at 30-40m offhand no problem. trigger needs a bit of smoothing but it's not bad and breaks predictably.
I know its cheap and chinese made, but for the money im really happy with it.
