Crosman Fire Nitro Piston Air Rifle

Powerful

Good open sights and/or a much better scope.

I was very disappointed in this gun's performance. The included scope is a joke. The center of the shot pattern was 8" to the right and 2" below the target (at 15 yds.) and no amount of adjustment would bring it any closer. I thought this was due to the scope that was included with the package, but after I removed the scope and mounted a bead on the front and a rear sight at the back I realized that it was the gun. Even secured to a bench rest it was impossible to get a grouping under 6 inches from 15 yards. I bought it to shoot chipmunks that are burrowing under my foundation, but with this gun I wouldn't be able to hit one unless it was hanging over the end of the barrel (maybe). None of the other reviewers seem to have this problem, so maybe I just got a defective gun. In any event, I will be returning it at my first opportunity.

I like the price, accuracy with Crosman Premium hollow points and Destroyer pellets. The Scope and mounts are easily mounted. The nitron power plant and suppressor makes this a very quiet rifle with lead pellets.The Skelton plastic stock makes the gun light and easy to handle. It has already accounted for vermin around the back yard as well as plinking at targets hung on the back fence. Have only had this gun two days. Loads of fun!

At this price point. Nothing! Under $100.

No iron sights, no sling swivels, the cocking will give you a work out of your not use to break barrel sir guns. The scope is nothing to brag about but has been serviceable on my gun. I had difficulty finding this gun because of the pandemic scare! Finally found one at Academy

First this is an impressive looking air rifle for the price.Since this is my first break barrel I wanted the nitro piston, have at least 1000 fps or more and not be out of range as far as price goes.I am sure there are other air rifles you can choose from, and I have had this one for over two weeks. It's comfortable to hold at aiming and also at rest and not to heavy. There is a lot of different pellets you can use and I am still seeing which ones I like best. I have attached a bi-pod to the barrel not the stock and works well. Unfortunately I have not been able to take this outside to a range to test far distances but have confidence it will do well. I have not done any trigger adjustments maybe when really comfortable with the air rifle then may make changes, for now I am just leaving the way it is. I also would like to mention this is not as loud as I thought it would be.

I would not change the air rifle itself however maybe have sights on the air rifle itself and like other reviews I would change the scope. Which that was something I did. The scope that came with this to make the target clearer by backing out the eye piece was still a little blurry, and yes if want to know my glasses have been updated this past year. That being written the optics on the scope I replaced it with is much clearer.

When using different pellets like blue flame alloy pellets when firing the rifle it's louder then lead pellets even the red fire are not loud.

Excellent gun for $$. Extremely comfortable stock. Replaced trigger adjustment screw for a longer one so now it's pretty good cocks very easy shoot quarter inch groop at 25yrds

No

1.my barrel bent because while cocking either it slipped out of my fingers or the sear didn't catch
2 these high power springer/np eat Scopes FOR SNACK....buy scope with good warranty and of course springer rated
3the cheapest precharged pneumatic will shoot circles around this thing actually the other way around lol pcp WAY easier to shoot accurately

Mine is an F4, which is the same thing. Price was great. I am admittedly not a great break barrel shooter. I also have a Crosman Phantom springer in .177 caliber. That thing unleashes fire and brimstone in loudness every time I shoot it. I bought it in 2013. It never quieted down. My F4 is a whole lot quieter with its gas piston. I LOVE that! I can shoot it without worrying about getting a SWAT team called down. The lack of noise and commotion makes me a better shooter too. I'm okay withno open sights. I'm 66 with not verygood eyesdight, so have to use a scope anyway.

You know the cheap crappy 4x15 scopes that come with many cheap multi-pumpers? You know, the one most of us throw in the trash on day one? Sell, the Centpoint 4x32 that came with my F4 is much worse. I can't get a clear view with it, and there is some distortion, and rzinbow colors around the edges of the view. This is NOT due to my eyes. I have a number of rifle scopes with sharp, clear views anf no color distortions. I put a Hammers 3x9x 40 AO scope on it. I think the rings are okay that comes with it. The front ring just has 2 screws holding the ring halves together, and 2 holding the ring to the dovetail. But, the rear ring has 4 screws holding itto the dovetail, and has a stop screw too. Should be enough. How about dropping the price a few bucks, and don't include a scope? Or, include a decent 4x32 WITH AO? The trigger sucks. Not that it has a stiff pull. It doesn't, andthe pull is reasonable. It's the travel! Good God, does it gave alot of travel. Aftermarket, or RC bearing

So far, my F4 seems to like the Crosman Premier Super Match, and the RWS Hobbys. Both are wadcutters. I am happy that I am getting some decent groups with these. I love the NP aspect that gives me a quieter, smoother shooting break barrel! I am soon planning to get a gas piston powered .22 caliber air rifle. Maybe a Vantage. If this thing came with no scope, or a better scope, and just an okay trigger, I would have given it all 5 stars.

Nice and powerful! Able to punch through a 2 inche piece to wood with 10.5 domed pellets, smooth trigger pull and dead accurate

Definitely the scope, it doesnt have mildots sadly and cheapy

Excellent accuracy, power, ergonomics, & bang for the buck. The screws are actually staying tight LOL! I have to tighten the fore end and trigger guard screws on all my other break barrels about every 200 shots but they have stayed nice and tight on the Fire...go figure.

Throw the supplied scope and rings away as soon as you open the box. The scope was by far the worst I have ever received "free". Cloudy, impossible to focus. I added a UTG 3-9 x 32 mounted with BKL rings and have repeatable results shooting the next day, next week etc.

Probably one of the most underrated, under the radar .177 airguns out there. I have break barrels from Hatsan, Stoeger,and Diana and this was a huge surprise!. Seems to like weights in the 8 to 9 grain range as qtr sized groups are pretty normal at 20~25 yds. More one shot kills with this rifle than any of my other break barrels ( gopher,racoon, geese, swamp rat size), takes smaller game with ease.

In a word... POW-erful! For the price (I recently saw one on sale for $89!) you ain't gonna get a better gun. And once you get it dialed in with a better scope or sight (see things I would change) incredibly accurate for a break-barrel, hell, pretty damn accurate for any airgun.

The 2 things that make this 5 star rifle and turn it into a 4 star: No iron sights and the scope is a turd. This is a very powerful gun but, not so much as you're not going to be able to see anything you're shooting cuz it's too far away, so iron sights should have been installed. The scope is just terrible within 5-10 shots after getting it dialed in it starts losing its zero, by the time you get 20-30 shots it's not even close anymore. I switched it out to an open red-dot site and after dialing it in i shot a 10 group that totally shredded the ten-ring on a 4 inch target at 100 feet. The right sights and you won't miss with this gun.

Heavy pellets, This gun loves'em! Yeah you can get crazy speeds with those really light pellets but, you won't hit anything. For the price I use the crossman super magnum 10.5 grain lead pellets, but any of the heavier pellets will fine. They hit hard and on target and the heavier pellets carry all that power way down-range with them.

Accuracy. With a 350+ round break in this is an amazingly accurate and easy to use rifle. I'm in the habit of cleaning my barrel after just a few shots and this rifle produces groups under half inch regularly with good quality pellets. I get noticeably better groups using Wadcutter ammo so I will stick to that pellet shape. Use quality pellets or the power of the gun may shred the cheap stuff, I have had it happen. I have the F4 version and I am simply amazed at how it shoots.

This powerhouse deserves a pair of nice iron sights and without a doubt a better scope. I am looking at scopes but still have not decided on what to buy. Some good iron sights would be a nice yet inexpensive upgrade to this fine rifle. The trigger is a bit creepy but has improved with use so I will keep it.

Everyone has their own opinion on what makes a great combination and in my opinion you cant do any better dollar for dollar so grace it with a good scope. I use phone books tightly duck taped for targets and I use old hard cover books behind them for backup. These work well to stop the rounds but I have drilled holes through two in the center after several hundred rounds. Good news is replacing the target books cost me only duck tape. I love my rifle and I will give it the scope it deserves when I can afford to do so.

Powerful Gun, Accurate,

It's a bit loud. not for me really but the neighbors might be a bit concerned.

A best buy for the money. Pest control perfect. Plinking perfect. Kinda heavy. Love it!!
