Good power. I like the feeling and fit. Looks good
Trigger is terrible, want to replace it.
This review has velocity results:
When I first opened my Crosman Remington Genesis 1000 I was pleasantly satisfied to find everything intact and no shipping damages. Pyramyd Air double bubble wrapped my 4 tins of RWS Superdomes. When I opened the rifle box to my delight the rifle was neatly zipped up in the soft case.
When I picked the gun up it threw me for another loop. From looking at the pictures on the web you might expect the gun to be cheapy or light weight. However when picking this rifle up you can feel the weight and stable platform. The stock might look like low-priced plastic but is in fact very good synthetic plastic that is strong and durable, which is evident to the touch. On the forearm and around the pistol grip is a terrific feeling rubber that aids in gripping the rifle. And of course the stock just looks downright sexy. The barrel was a tad longer than I expected but it doesn't bother me, just something I noticed. Another thing I noticed is on the forearm near the trigger guard, the stock is flat. If you've ever shot springers then you know you use a loose hold as the guns are hold sensitive. The flat part is very comfortable resting in your hand and is at the perfect position, making it wonderful for both a loose and consistent hold. Overall I was very impressed with the handling and fit of the Genesis.
I can't say too much right now about the shooting performance, as I've only run a dozen or so pellets through it. This is mostly because it was at night when I got the gun. The RWS Superdomes fit snugly in the breech. The trigger is predictable and adjustable. But for plinking it's just right. It had a long travel but broke cleanly. I do like the trigger unit but it could use a little improvement. Firing it was great, it was powerful and fast. However the noise is a bit loud. Mostly from the internal organs of the rifle going to work. But I figure this will settle down after use.
Later that night I slapped the scope on and did the lock-tite maneuver (lock-tite is a spring shooters best friend.) I did notice while I was thread locking everything that the stock screws has already been locked unlike many guns I've seen. I was rather surprised at the quality of the scope that came with the gun. First off to my utter joy, the scope was already set in the 1-piece mount, perfectly straight and level. Another goody to the mount was that it had a built in scope stop which fit perfectly into the stop hole on the rifle's receiver. The scope was wonderful. It is a 3-9X40 with target turrets and an adjustable objective. It also has a mil-dot reticule. The scope is very clear; however I would say the mil-dots are hard to see.
I am very happy with this rifle so far. Everything fit my frame perfectly. I can just whip the rifle to my shoulder and be on target. All the things are extremely comfortable. I will do an update later on the performance and velocities. Great job Crosman.
OK Well I went ahead and did the velocity tests today. It was a pain in the rear as my chrony kept reading error. Then I realized stupidly that it was in the shade LOL! Here ya go:
