It's big, heavy, mean and nasty. But what a powerful and accurate hammer. I get 35 shots over 100 FPE with less than a 20 fps spread. I opened the box, threw on a scope, filled it and started shooting, I didn't even clean the barrel and I was stacking pellets at 50 yards. It's a quiet energy but this thing is loud. I'm not a "girly man" so a 13 lb gun is no big deal to me, no offense to girly men.
