Overall Rating

1.5 stars
  • Value for money

Good Points

Its cheap, fast firing, has a trigger lock, and can be fun


Bad Points

It's made of plastic, doesn't fell right, keeps jamming, inconsistent in power, and brakes easily


General Comments

I brought one of the Crossman 1008 Repeater about a year ago, for £60 witch is quit a good price. I used it for 10 yard target and shoot the can I found that it was ok for this but was lacking in power and accuracy. I found that it kept jamming, I tried to over come this by trying a range of different pellets and I found webly harries to be the best. But it did still jam but not as much as it did using other pellets

When shooting it you can feel the co2 compartment cover moving, and the trigger is reasonably stiff but if you cock it before each shot it becomes easier. I also found it hard to tell whether the safety catch was on or off

In my opinion it is a reasonable gun for beginners or to be used just as a "fun gun". But it is very delicate I dropped it a couple of times (on grass) and this broke it. The hinge that connected the barrel to the rest of the gun snapped assembly

(I had the gun about 6 months)

I have brought a Beeman P3 to replace it which I have also reviewed on this sight
