This gun is not just a 1760 with a steel breach! The Stock is a beautiful rendering of the same style as the Benjamin Series with a raised comb but it's machined to accept the co2 action tube with the rifle trigger assembly. That breech is straight from Crosman's Custom Shop with the front assembly screw in the aft position rather than in the leading edge of the pellet trough. This upgrade allows much smoother loading of pellets without binding that sometimes occurs with some pellet styles. The bolt and bolt handle is from the 2300 S match gun, stainless steel with an extended probe! Sweet! I've thrown over 500 shots through this gun in my 1st week of ownership and the accuracy is astounding. Save that bug buster for something else. I put on a 3x9x40 Center Point scope on mine and got my 1st, (on a squirrel) "one shot one kill" with it at 148 ft. That's 50 yards of reach where I'm able to hold my 1"
standard. I usually wouldn't, but for me to even consider a .177 cal CO2 sporter for sniping a bushy tail at that distance, my confidence in its accuracy has got to be high. When you buy this gun, You will be enthused! Things I would have changed:This gun deserves a better choice of scopes. What others should know:With 7.9 grain Crosmans, I'm getting an average of 644.1 fps for 7.3 ft lbs. of energy taken with muzzle 13 feet away from the starting screen. (I'm not worried about energy while shooting anything closer than that.) If I've got it further; I've got it closer. I'm not sure what that translates to at 50 yards.
The bug buster scope, I'm still getting used to. Windage adjustment turns very hard. The sticker on the elevation turret fell off. Not the kind of craftsmanship I appreciate compared to the rifle. Wasn't able to get it sighted in very well. I may call Pyramid and see what can be done. However I will say that I like the rheostat illumination rather that incremental lighting for the retical.
