    Things I liked:

    Extremely accurate. Reasonably priced. Adjustable ergonomics to fit a variety of youths to adults. Good balance. The best trigger in the competition sporter air rifle category.

    Things I would have changed:

    A better standard rear sight. A better selection of front sight aperture inserts.

    What others should know:

    The new Challenger 2009 is miles better than Crosman's first effort with the Challenger 2000. It keeps the earlier rifle's adjustable ergonomics but adds a first rate trigger (for the category) and the highly accurate, German made Lothar-Walther barrel. While the trigger cannot be compared to a German Olympic level rifle, you would have to pay at least three times the price of this air rifle to get a better trigger. From a sand bag rest at ten meters, I've shot five pellet groups that look like only one pellet was fired at the target. This rifle likes premium German made ammo. I've gotten the best results with RWS Meisterkugeln and R-10s in the heavy, 8.2 grain weight. With compressed air, I can get 100-110 consistent shots. On CO2, I've gotten a bit more, 130-140 shots with a fill of 1.5 ounces. This rifle action can be taken apart from the stock with just one screw. The rifle will then fit in a short takedown shotgun case for easy storage and transport. This rifle will be competitive in Sporter competitions.

    Things I liked:

    Great price for an entry-level 3-position rifle. Fired tight group straight from the box, easy trigger pull, stock is easy to adjust to the shooter.

    Things I would have changed:

    Sights come from the factory uninstalled. I decided to locktite front and rear sights in place to maintain accuracy.

    What others should know:

    CO2 fill is only 1000psi, limits shooting between refills to about 35-40 shots.
