Things I liked:

Very accurate, well made, good value rifle. Also, when I first charged the rifle it would lose 500psi overnight, so I contacted Crosman and they immediately sent out a replacement. However, during the next few days I was able to get the charge port to reseat itself and that cured the leak problem. So I returned the replacement rifle to Crosman - no shipping charges to me either way. Crosman did an exceptional job standing behind this rifle.

Things I would have changed:

Upgrade options for better sights, metal front sight rail, greater adjustability for the cheek piece and butt stock, a little more detail in the manual concerning care and maintenance. I purchased the PA Ultimate package which came with rifle, sights, a Benjamin hand pump (works well, good exercise for an old guy), a pair of shooting glasses, a Foster quick disconnect, H&N Match Heavy pellets, a package of targets and a soft gun case (this competition rifle and sights deserve a hard case, which is what I thought I was getting - my error). In hindsight, the Foster, glasses, and gun case are of no value to me so I would recommend carefully considering whether the package deals really suit your needs. Also, I would like to see PA put together a competition package deal that would offer discounts on additional equipment options.

What others should know:

This rifle is becoming more popular with high school 10 meter shooting teams and it takes an exceptional shooter (Olympic level?) to out-shoot this gun. I will be using it in some Golden age competitions and I'm pretty sure it will always shoot better than I can! I have been trying to find the pellet it likes best but so far none have shown a significant difference. So far my Crosman Premier Match Grade have been shooting as well as Qiang Yuan. Obviously I need someone better behind the trigger!

  • JORGE from USA asked:

    Does it come with the new CDPT1 sight?

    • luther from USA asked:

      Does this air rifle need a C02 Cartridge and to be filled with PCP air both together or is it a either or PCP or C02 air rifle? And does it not come in .22 cal? If it does come in .22 or .25 why is it only showing the .177cal ?

      • oats from USA answered:

        HPA or Co2 can be used just not both together , one or the other. Only comes in .177 .

    • Bobby from USA asked:
