I was wondering if anyone has any experience or opinion on this rifle in particular or Remington pellet rifles in general? The statistics look pretty nice for the price.

I know exactly what you mean. That's why I don't already have one..........but these aren't the guns we used to shoot. You might say some of them are pneumatic rifles that happen to shoot pellets. I'm not trying to compare them to our trusty 22LR, but they have come a long way. I look at there potential this way. A lot of shotgun rounds have a velocity of 1100 - 1200 fps. Some of these rifles have advertised velocities’ the same. I don't know how many rabbits, squirrels, etc I've brought home with just 3 or 4 #6 pellets in them and that’s a lot less grains of lead than 8 or 9 grain pellet. (Just my thinking, often times faulty!)Kayak Jack said:I must be stuck in the 50s - $300 or more for a pellet gun sounds outrageous. I can get a real gun for that money.
A Benjamin that I had as a kid (pump up .177) made enough noise that birds would sometimes jump. When I shot at a crow, he'd just sneer at me and tighten up his wings. PLOCK! The pellet hit and bounced off. He'd sneer again. One day, against what my Dad had said, I used the .22 with long rifles. He sneered - and fell over.oldsparkey said:<SNIP> I really like the quiet part of air rifles since it does not spook the game.
