Thanks for the info! I never thought of needing a different cleaning rod for it, but I guess it only makes sense since it is only a .17 cal. How have you found it in the wind? I'm sure it must drift pretty good in a stiff breeze. Would you say it is similar to a .22 LR at 50 to 80 yards for wind drift? Either way, I think I'll be picking up one this week.

A friend of mine told me about the sweet 17 scope BSA makes. I took a look at the reviews and it seems to be decent. It seems a little gimmicky considering the low price, but I may have to try one. Any thoughts on the sweet 17 scope? I'd probably only go with the 9X and not the 12X unless someone can convince me otherwise.
