Good Points

Very high performance for the price, very good accuracy and high power. Excellent trigger. Very light weight and short length, great for carrying afield.


Bad Points

Fit and finish are about what you expect for a rifle that performs so well at such a low price. Not crude, just a step below a $300 German or English airgun.


General Comments

I have a few of these and they are great bargains for the money. They shoot very well and quite strong out of the box. I made a slight modification to the valve on mine and it shoots Crosman Premier lights at around 700 fps with 3 pumps, 800 with 5 pumps and nearly 1000 fps with 10 pumps ( it will shoot a max velocity of around 1050 fps if you pump it 15 but that is too much work for the slight increase in velocity). With modifications it will shoot Premier heavies at 850 with 10 pumps which is just astounding, it produces nearly 20 foot pounds of energy with either pellet weight at ten pumps. The stock velocity was about 650 at 5 pumps and 850 at 10 pumps which is still quite impressive considering it wasn't a fly weight pellet and the gun is so affordable. Accuracy is very good for a rifle in this price range, I mostly get around 1/2" groups with frequent ragged one hole groups at 25 yards if I do my part. These guns have a very unusual valve design which makes for an incredibly quick lock time with no vibration as there is no hammer. The valve design also makes for an excellent trigger. Using the adjustment screw you can set them to be fairly crisp and the pull is very light, probably 2 to 3 pounds on average which is perfect for plinking and hunting. I've put many rounds through mine with no malfunctions or significant wear, they seem to be pretty well made and durable. Overall I really like the guns and they don't have any competition in their area right now. A very good gun for the money.

    Dear friend,

    I intend to buy one cannon 737

    Can you explain me this :

    What are the modifications you made on the valve to make the gun shoot with such power? Can you explain to me?

    Isn't it bad for the gun to pump it 15 times?

    Thanks for help !
