General Comments

I ordered this Crosman Remington Genesis 1000 pellet gun right from Bass Pro and it came to my house in five days. I've only had the pellet rifle for a day but I am very impressed so far. Out of the box I was able to shoot 2.5" groups at 40 yards, after zeroing the pellet gun in after only twenty shots. This was the first time I had ever used a break barrel so I was very impressed. Although many say you need a break-in period to become very accurate, the gun shot very well.
Only an hour later I spied a squirrel picking around in my front yard. Once I was outside, it had jumped up a tree but I decided to shoot anyway cause what the heck, I might as well try, so I lined up a shot and knocked him out of the tree with a shot to the belly.
Now to understand the power of this gun, I lined up a Gatorade bottle at 30 yards away and fired a single round at it making it fly. When I went to check it out I found to my surprise, a nickle sized hole busting through the top-middle of the bottle with another slit coming out the back.
Also people say the trigger is not good but as long as you can get a feel for it, then it really doesn't matter and as long as it can get the job done, who cares if it is plastic.
Now I haven't mounted the scope yet and these are very early results, so I could just be getting lucky. So far though, this is an awesome pellet gun and great for anyone trying to get rid of pests.
