I was mainly focussing on target Mark, but the Remimex is a better quality alternative and a cut above entry level with a decent trigger. It's accurate enough for target and would be fine for general plinking or the odd foray rat shooting in barns! Some mixed reviews on the Gamo has put me off as I couldn't really see it bettering the P17, which I've bought for my son to use. That's an excellent little pistol for the money.
