Welcome Terry,,, nice to have you with us....
I have a couple of the Winchester 1000's and yes they are a bit "crude", but oh boy do they hit hard and shoot straight. Just takes a bit of time to get used to shooting it. I love mine, they are the hardest hitting .177's in my arsenal and both are deadly a
BTW.... the triggers on both of mine go better with use..... they're still not great but they are much better now.....
