Its precision is noteworthy, with consistent grouping at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both casual and competitive use. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, accommodating a variety of hand sizes, which enhances control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it performs well under diverse conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained.
