I was not happy when I saw the box...I liked the standard Remington Express .22 so I bought the Compact version as a rough shoot rifle.

I've put 400+ rounds through it so far and it's starting to settle down - I'n not too concerned as I've had springers that needed 1000 rounds fired before they break in.

I like the Remington Express Compact handling and trigger.
Everything else falls in line with a rifle costing £145 - which is totally fine with me.
