I've got a buddy that got the Taurus. It shoots great, but I'd want the night sites. I never had a problem with my Springer GI. All that being said I really, really like the feel of the Remington and the white dots are the size of basketballs. For a $700 gun that would be the way I'd go, throw on a set of Crimson trace and eventully change out the sights for a set of tritiums.
