Crosman Phantom 1000X Air Rifle

If your eyes are good enough, lose the POS scope and use the fiberoptic sights. They are plastic, a metal option would be much appreciated, but they work and hold the zero well. This rifle is very powerful and accurate. We chrono'd it at well over 900 fps with heavy Crosman 10.5 gr pellets which it likes and shoots very well. It knocks my target trap from Pyromyd off the bench at 30 ft. We have a lot of open marsh behind the house and grebes are in danger out to 300 yards, if I were so inclined and with some holdover to compensate for pellet drop out there. It makes a visible splash in the water out to 300 yards. A very powerful, impressive 177 cal rifle, and a real bargain.

Metal fiberoptic sights

You can spend a lot more but would be hard pressed to find a more accurate and powerful 177 rifle.

Has great power and with a little getting used to and sighting in, its a great small game hunting airgun.

Its a bit on the loud side, and the pull was bit to heavy at first.

Probaly because I'm a begginer but, with the kick that springers have REMEMBER TO SCREW IN THE SCOPE STOP! The gun has moderate-heavy recoil.

nothing

everything

dont buy it has no accuracy its loud .if you like 3 inch groups at 10 yards go right a head and buy it.

The gun arrive a couple hours ago. I then 'screwed' the scope on, popped a pellet in it the took it out and gave it a first fire. Sonofagun, at about 40 yards, actually hit the target without any sight in. It appears fairly well made for the price. After a good sight and break in, may do an update, though don't see any need changes unless it breaks

I'm enough of a traditionalist that I really like wood stocks, but it is what it is.

It is NOT quiet - about what a .22 short sounds like from my old rifle.

It is Made In China, not an Upstate NY piece like the 5 Y.O. Crosman pellet pistol is - but the rifle was only $109 bucks.
It does cock pretty hard.
The above - not any big deal

Excellent build quality, solid construction, overall

Very loud. Hard to cock, super stiff spring (most likely why the gun is so fast so I can deal with that)

Delivery confirmation is very difficult for people with a regulard day job. I really wish that was optional.

Hits hard, inexpensive, shoots heavier pellets like baracuda hollow points accurate. It is light to me and super easy to cock. Mine likes rws super domes and crosman hollow points.

Same old story, the scope isnt bad, but for a hundred dollars you cant expect the moon.

I hunt with this and my ruger air magnum, it is way lighter than the ruger and isnt that much less powerful than it either. The first part of last season i hunted squirrels with this gun and it killed every one i shot. Most of my shots were 100-150feet.

This is a very accurate and powerful rifle. It's not the lightest rifle but is still good for begginers. It is a great value for the money and will deal with any pest problem you have.

Add a cleaning guide or kit with the rifle.

The gun has a fairly strong trigger but with use you will learn to master it. The gun came right out of the box and shot with no problems at all.

Great value for the money

Better scope

Excelente rifle, muy potente y muy bueno, tiene un diseño muy bonito, trae mirillas abiertas en fibra optica, no solo se limita a la mira telescopica. Muy resistente y duradero.

El gatillo es plastico, deberian venir siempre con gatillo metalico ya que este aguanta grandes presiones y podria partirse con el tiempo.

No

this is a good feeling gun. accuracy is good. drops a varmint in an instant.

The trigger has to long of pull even after adjustment. I am not a avid shooter but i do realize that the trigger does not pull smoothly.

buy the rifle without the scope, then buy a better quality scope. parallax is not good at a hunting range of 20 to 30 yards.
