For sure. I never had one. I did have a crosman 760. My buddies 880 was always better. Now I have one and probably about to get another. I've modded and experimented this one. It had defects when I got it. After 200 shots the barrel came loose and all the way out where it was pressed in the breech, etc. For 35$ I'm willing to gamble on a better one this time. I have a gamo springer but my eyes are kinda bad without a scope. They failed me at the dmv but gave me my license out of pity and told me to go seek optometry help lol. Eventually I want a Nova freedom or that new Air Venturi avenger I think it is called. About $300 I believe.
In short, it's pretty miraculous what my 880 does for the $ I guess. I know it's junk, but it does what I ask within reason. I can smack 20 Oz bottles at 70 yards fairly easily and it makes a glorious sound!
