That's a pricey air gun. But I bet its a hoot to shoot!

I bet you could get a better gun for less from one of the custom gun makers.

Your probably right. I am looking at getting a pellet gun but thats way out of my price range. Im thinking a pump in .177 or maybe .20.

Beeman R9 in .177 is a great light gun and very easy to use.

As bad as I want one, for that price I'd rather have an FX Royale.

  • Interests:I am into foraging of all kinds. Hunting for game is just one aspect. Every time I am out in the back country I am looking for edible, useful and medicinal flora and fauna. I am also constantly working on survival skills. Hunted as a boy for squirrel, rabbit and some upland birds. I am a farmer by trade and I work for an organic farm founded on ethical work practices.

That would be great for 'yotes close to a urban area. It didn't sound too loud in the video!

Probably quieter than a powder burner .357 but manufactures will often add in the noise for a gun to make it seem a lot quieter.Doesnt look at all worth it to me... You could get an Eun Gin for half the price....

I was prepared for $1000 but, that seems ridiculous. Sucker better shoot dime sized groups at 100 yds. The electronics and coyote sized groups don't do it for me.

They sure didn't share much information in that video. Just showed the guy shooting and the bolt hung up a couple times to boot. Whoever produced that advertising video for Crossman needs to be fired.

The action rattles....so the bolt must be sloppy or something....I have smoother bolt action on my $250 air rifles...Also notice how close the bolt handle is to that huge magazine...your fingers interfere which probably caused the mis-feed of the pellet(bullet)...
