Good Points:
Very nice built quality, accurate, nice balance. Powerfull, quiet and robust.

General Comments:
All in all a very nice piece. The
tempest is the kind
of pistol that once you pick it up it is hard to put down. A great gun
to take on a picnic or fishing. Overall
one of my favorite airguns. It has plenty of power (enough to kill a
rabbit at 20 yards).
