I purchased one of these about a year ago; unused grease in the barrel and no wear at all. I have replaced the spring and main washer along with the stock screws and re lubed with moly. It is the finest springer I have owned (better than a 97). If you can shoot it will give immense satisfaction. I would suggest that it benefits from a tune and if it does not shoot smoothly with little recoil at 25ftlbs then it needs attention. I don't know about 34ftlbs as in the advert! I would think it is dieseling a lot.
As for accuracy I can hit 30 to 50 mm pebbles at 50m consistently standing and unrested, 250 shots per session easily. I own a 17hmr and Rapid 17 FAC but I take the Patriot out on most trips.
