The trigger works and adjusts better then I expected , has a nice pull to it. The scope is very good and the mount is grade A. Love the overall design of the stock. Things I would have changed:The paint ,the paint, the paint. The digital camo is a nice touch but it looks toyish. Also like everyone else mine is already showing wear after two weeks. The barrel has a very thin coat of paint on it comes of with your finger nail. They said it's a adjustable cheek pad I don't really see how (can't get it to move) plus it looks like it doesn't belong there, but does it's job. The scope stop screw in the mount doesn't screw in to the rail. It has a pointed end that just barely goes in the hole. It would have been better if you could screw it in for better grip. What others should know:I bought a Crosman Bipod for this rifle but it was too small the diameter of the barrel is at least 3/4 of an inch. Had to modify. The recoil is very different on this rifle because of the Nitro Piston not worse then a Spring Rifle but different. I actualy like it. Still has kick but seems to be smoother. Takes a little to get used to. Make sure you loctite every screw when mounting your scope. I also like to mark where the mount is on the rail and where the rings are on the scope. That way I can see right away if anything iscreeping. It'll save you lot's of headaches in the future. I seem to have very good accuracy with the Crosman Premiers Domed 14.3 g. Buy this rifle, install the scope properly, and you won't be looking for another rifle for a long time. Crosman gets an A- from me on this one. Put better paint on it and it's A++.

Things I liked:I like the solid feel and execution of the shot. I am comparing to a Whisper springer. The Crossman is as quiet, more accurate and more solid than the Whisper springer. I even added the aftermarket trigger (necessary on any gamo) and still couldn't match the Crossman. An excellent varment gun. Things I would have changed:

I even added the aftermarket trigger (necessary on any gamo) and still couldn't match the Crossman. An excellent varment gun. Things I would have changed: Nothing as yet. What others should know: It is a bit more of a handfull to cock than the Gamo, no big deal. I shot 100 pellets as a break in and put most of them through one ragged hole at 20 yards. The scope is great, the rifle is solid and I will never buy a spring gun over a gas piston again. The .22 was an ideal move over the .177 since all of my shooting is outside and in windy conditions. This is my new SKUNK remover and I am expecting great results. I changed to ballistic tip pellets from hollow points to see the difference in accuracy. The B.T. pellets were five inches low and through one ragged hole as well. A little scope adjustment, as expected, and I'm awe stuck again. Great value and U.S.A. made.

Things I liked:This rifle is a BEAST!!!!! I kill pigeons (bad for the environment, by the way) with this baby, and it's a clean kill in the .177 caliber. Suprisingly it is DEAD quiet, and almost resembles the M40A1; try not to let the cops see this one! More recoil than a standard .22 rifle which is great because you get that real gun-feel. $70

More recoil than a standard .22 rifle which is great because you get that real gun-feel. $70 scope comes with it, mil-dot style. To top it all off, a beautiful digital camouflage paintjob which truly polishes this piece of all American weaponry! Things I would have changed:1) Scope needs to be American-made; not Chinese :(
2) The paintjob needs to have a clearcoat finish...the pistol grip paint tends to flake off and crack a bit... What others should know:THIS THING WILL KILL....This is truly a great air rifle; decent price too!

Things I liked:I like how quiet the gun is. I have another pellet rifle of this speed, and shooting it isn't much different in sound than shooting a 22 short. The Nitro is something I can use in my residential area, and no one will know. Things I would have changed:The camo pattern isn't very permanent. Just putting it on the rifle

The Nitro is something I can use in my residential area, and no one will know. Things I would have changed:The camo pattern isn't very permanent. Just putting it on the rifle rest I started to see chips of the camo paint falling all around. What others should know:This gun is accurate. The other spring/piston rifle I have seems to jolt the gun when you shoot, and I don't think I've ever really gotten it sighted in. The Nitro doesn't have that problem, and sighted in easily. The scope is also really nice on the Nitro.

Things I liked:The rifle Things I would have changed:The maximum velocity as advertised on this website. It shows 1000 ft/sec for the .22 cal version. Unless you stumble onto the fact that putting your cursor over the velocity reveals the 1000 ft/sec is only with 9.9 gr ammo, you are left thinking 1000 ft/sec is with standard pellets

Unless you stumble onto the fact that putting your cursor over the velocity reveals the 1000 ft/sec is only with 9.9 gr ammo, you are left thinking 1000 ft/sec is with standard pellets. Crosman's owners manual states roughly the same thing with 1000 ft/sec* (*using alloy pellets). Most reviews show that the average velocity range for a 14.3 grain pellet is only about 690-730 ft/sec. If this were disclosed by Crosman and the max velocity limitation made more apparent on the site, it would probably help customers to better select what they are looking for and not be disappointed with what they later find out ot be true. What others should know:The rifle is nicely built, quiet, and accurate. It is worth getting, especially if you don't need to have it fire over 730 ft/sec with a standard weight (~14.3 grain) pellet. If you do require something with more power, buy something else.

I use .22 Benjamin Discovery Pellets 14.3 gr. and Crosman preimer 14.3 all bought at the local sports store and they shoot great. The cocking is smooth and easy, the pistol grip is comfortable, the barrel finish is great. The gun has such a hightech sniper look to it. The scope is one of the best ever combined with a rifle. I should buy a few for my other rifles. Things I would have changed:Since this is a new rifle some problems are to be expected. The stock has been peeling. Not much , but it is. The breach seal seems to be tearing but it still shoots well. Crosman has been a first class company and is sending me a new stock and a breach seal. I have no complaints with them and they have stood behind their product. What others should know:All pellets seem to shoot well, except for the very light ones. Medium weight and the heavy weight pellets all group very well. decide which ones group the best and stay with them. Noise level is nice and low. Just a solid thunk and you hear the pellet hit the trap/target. Will make a very good hunter, yet killing paper all day is fun too. This gun is much more quiet then a Gamo Whisper, more fun to shoot and to me, not hold sensitive. I shoot off a rest until I know what this gun can do and I have had no problems. I also tried several different of holds and to me, a tight hold with my elbow down close to my body works well for me. I think a bi-pod work work well. I own several air rifles and this one is by far my favorite and I bought it right here at Pyramyd who double boxed it and had stuffed air pillows in the box. so everything arrived in great shape. This is a great rifle. I would buy another one in a heart beat.

Things I liked:Very comfortable stock to shoot offhand and the Center Point 3-9x40 scope is first rate. So far mine likes Meisterkugeln and Superdome 14-14.5 grain pellets. The gas piston is very easy to cock with smooth recoil. The trigger is heavy but very good... predictable consistent and safe. With the stock held softly against my shoulder

With the stock held softly against my shoulder and the for-end supported loosely in my cupped hand groups are 1/2" at 10 meters and the rifle isn't broken in yet. This is a quality package... I may need another one in .177. Things I would have changed:I replaced the one piece scope mount with a 2 piece Beeman 5030 mount to move the scope back far enough for me. What others should know:A great rifle made in the USA. I would buy one again

Things I would have changed:So far only thing I would change is add pop up lens cover and maybe fixed sights. What others should know:First 100+ shots made before adding scope. Installed scope and it shot
1 1/2"low. Called PA and Scott said try shim first. Now dead on at 60'. During second hundred rounds she became much quieter and settled down. Averaging 710 fps with RWS SuperDome (14.5 gr) and old Benjamin Diablos. So far I have not had hold problems as others reported. Shooting loose to shoulder and resting in palm with light to no grip. Trigger very smooth to me and no adjustment needed from factory setting. Definite two stages felt in pull. Believe we may have a winner here! Ordered some Crosman Premiers to see if fps increases.
