I appreciate you saying that Brother but it's just a toy compared to the stuff you own. I am happy with it though, just to keep the woodchucks out of our garden it's a huge upgrade over the other 2 pellet guns I have, one of which is in pieces, I don't know how to repair/get it back together. The other is a original Crosman when they were made in Bloomfield, NY. That one is still serviceable but it's very tired
I will add that this Ruger Elite does not have some of the issues mentioned in older reviews. They used Loctite in places it was needed and the scope is very adjustable. I have this down to dime sized groups at 50ft and quarter sized at almost 150ft. Not bad for only maybe 40 pellets through it, they say it needs at least 250 shot to get it to break in and get more accurate. I am looking at some of the Gamo offerings for pellets to increase accuracy. I want to get it out to 75yrds reliably
