To get your hands on a new Rifle of this quality for under a $1,000 was unheard of.

If you are going to spend this amount of money on an Air Rifle it is important to get the gun to fit you as best as possible
TEST RIFLE BALANCE
1. Hold butt plate or cheek piece with one hand
2. Place four fingers under rifle stock, just in front of trigger guard
3. Open hand on butt plate to see whether rifle will balance on four fingers
4. Keep open hand close to butt plate in case rifle tips
5. Rifle balances properly if it tips forward slightly or stays balanced on fingers under stock

Another dimension to check when going for rifle fit is stock length. You determine stock length by placing the butt plate close to the bend in your elbow and extending your forearm along the stock to see whether you can easily reach the pistol grip with your hand and the trigger with your index finger (figure 1 .4). Now that most air rifles have adjustable butt plates that you can move in and out, stocks don’t have to be cut to fit the rifle to the shooter. The butt plate is just moved in or out for the correct stock length.
If you have a wood stock with a butt plate that doesn’t move in or out, you can cut the stock down to fit your body. Keep the piece of cut stock so that you can attach it later as you grow or provide it to a larger-framed person who later acquires the rifle.

CORRECT STOCK LENGTH
1 Move the butt plate in as far as it will go
2. Place the butt plate inside your upper arm as close to your elbow as possible
3. Reach your forearm up to the pistol grip
4. Wrap your fingers around the pistol grip

If you can easily wrap your fingers around the grip, the stock length of the rifle is at the proper starting point around which to build positions. If you can’t reach the pistol grip, the stock length is too long (figure 1 .5). Building positions around the extra length will be difficult. If you reach past the pistol grip and trigger, the stock length is too short. Add some space between the stock and butt plate.
