 Clay sewell's recommendation | |
Good finish, easy to clean and take care of.
Rubber seal where you load pellet, tore after second shot. Horrible trigger (has started to get better as I shoot it). One of the screws in the scope mount had stripped. Raptor pellets, that come with the rifle, do not shoot well from this rifle at all.
After the second shot and the torn seal, I called the store and told them what happened. They replaced the rifle immediately. When I first started sighting in the second rifle the shots were all over the target. I tried everything I could think of ( support of the rifle, grip, stance, etc.) I finally called one of the guys who tune up air rifles and was told to change the pellet I was using. He suggested a few that had been successful for him. I bought the Crosman Premier hollow points and the Crosman Wad Cutters. Both shoot well, but the hollow points shoot very good. I'm sighting in at 25 yards and doing 5 shot groups that are 3/8" right now. Would probably be better if I shot better. The trigger is starting to feel better after putting about 500 pellets through the gun. Overall I am very pleased with the way the rifle is shaping up. I may eventually get a tuneup for the rifle to help make it quieter and consistent. I'm going to buy me a pack of those rubber seals, this one has started tearing too.
