The Nitro Piston Technology has proven to be a valuable aid to hunters. There's nothing worse than knowing your metal spring might be fatigued and not provide the power and energy you need to humanely dispatch your prey. With a gas piston, you'll always have the same power and never have to give it a second thought because the gas piston does not suffer from the same issues. Get either the .177 Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk to shoot spinners, pop the heads off dandelions, kill tin cans or dispatch small garden pests. If you shoot rats, mice, chipmunks and rabbits, the .177 caliber will have sufficient power.

Awesome Rifle
By Brian from Suburb of Detroit on February 23, 2012
I've put about 400 pellets through mine and it's about the best shooting pellet rifle I've ever owned. I've been shooting for over 40 years and this thing is as accurate as any 22 rifle I've ever shot. After about 50 rounds through it I finally got the scope dead on and hasn't moved a mm since. I have a 45ft shooting range set up in my basement since it is too cold to shoot for long periods now and I got tired of getting bulls eyes on the 25ft NRA Air Rifle Targets that I'm shooting at that I started shooting match sticks. Here's a pick, the left one I shot standing from 25ft on the first shot and the other 2 were shooting from a bench. I knocked the tip off the last one and nicked the head and knocked some of the sulpher off and than nicked it below the tip on the second one from the right using Crosman Competition Wadcutters. It took 12 shots but I'm not as steady as I was when I was 18. Overall a great rifle for the $$! Pros:
PowerAccuracy
Price
Quiet
Cons:
A little HeavyI would recommend this item to a friend.
A Lot of Bang for the buck!
By Kristopher from West River, MD on November 28, 2011
I'm still very early in the break in process of my Nitro Venom but am already impressed! Stock is sturdy and well constructed. I have only shot 20-30 shots and the gun is beginning to make tight groups at 15yrds but i still have a long way on zeroing the scope. Scope is not the best but its not bad either its better then others I have seen included with comparable guns on the market. I was initially taken back by how loud the first few shots were but as the machining oil burned out of the barrel it quickly quieted down. The power is very impressive for a gun in this price range purchasers like myself will have no problem taking down small game. Pros:
Nitro Piston will not fatigue over time.Cons:
Scope can be hard to see out of.Sloppy inconsistant Trigger
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Awsome gun but bad Trigger.
By Matt from Topeka, Kansas on May 16, 2012
This is a nice nitro gun but the trigger is horrible. Make sure you buy a trigger from Charlie da Tuna or you will not be happy with this gun!Pros:

Cons:
Trigger!!!!!!I would recommend this item to a friend.
Rock-solid air rifle!
By RC from Illinois on May 7, 2012
After a half-hour behind my nephew's Venom (sighting the scope for him), I liked his so much, I bought my own! Never owned an air-rifle (but do own several firearms), and the appeal of being able to shoot in my back yard (without spending dollars-per-hour for range time and a dollar-per-round with a high powered rifle) is what brought me to an air-rifle.The rifle is, as I stated, rock solid. Fit and finish are excellent, mechanics work flawlessly, and (for an air-rifle) it packs a punch! As some of the other reviews have stated, the rifle is horribly inaccurate for the first hundred or so shots, but they do come together slowly after that. The first couple-o-shots are loud, but they do quiet down. I found that a good barrel cleaning works wonders for accuracy after the intinital break-in.
I'm not quite acclimated to the trigger just yet, nor have I adjusted it to see what can be improved upon. Scope is a quality piece and offers lots of adjustment(s).
Pros:
Good quality, heavy, solid construction, nice scope.Cons:
No complaints!I would recommend this item to a friend.
Beast airgun
By air rifle killer from riverton kansas on April 29, 2012
Ok well I had this airgun for about 6 months and i have killed huge amount of rabbit squirrles and birds on rabbits it takes about two shots if you dont hit him in the head or heart the only problem is the scope i can only get to the fifth zoom before it gets cloudy and you cant see the cross hairsPros:
accurate and long lastingCons:
scope, loud and wieghtI would recommend this item to a friend.
Awesome gun for the price!
By JLoftus from Eddyville, Ky on March 3, 2012
Gun grouped very well straight out of the box although they said it may take 100 rounds through the gun to get tight groups and less noise. Gun is quiet and if I can hold it steady the squirrels trying to get in my bird feeders don't stand a chance. Gun is very powerful. Gun is kind of heavy, but I have found this true of other quality air rifles.Pros:
Quiet, powerful, and accurate.Cons:
Weight and the scope provided is a little weak on the optics, but a good buy for the money.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Crossman Nitro Venom .177 Caliber Air Rifle
By Julio Martinez from San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 2, 2012
This the best buy for a pellet rifle, the scope is easy to calibrate. I used a foam coffee cup as a target I-draw a size of a quarter circle and placed the cup at about 25 feet, it took me about 30 pellets to cero in the middle of the cup. Was not satisfied yet and moved the cup 47 feet and I was surprise how accurate my rifle is now. Great for hunting one shot one kill. I will like to find out if Crossman has a .22 Caliber with that same characteristics.Pros:
The price is great for such a powerful rifleCons:
It does not have a carrying strapI would recommend this item to a friend.
Great pellet rifle!
By Dust Devl from Alamogordo, New Mexico on February 4, 2012
This is my first adult pellet rifle purchase. I have been "into guns" for over 20 years and just never got into BB or pellet guns. This rifle is actually more accurate than I am. I continue to learn this "artillery hold" and am amazed at the accuracy of this gun. I have about 300 pellets thru it. The scope is great. Very stable...hasn't shifted like I've read on some of the Gamo guns. It is very quiet too. Not even close to .22 rimfire (either sub sonic from normal barrel, or supersonic ammo thru a suppressor). I'll be buying the same Crosman in .22 soon since this .177 has impressed me and my shooting buddies so much!
Pros:
-Easy to cock and load.-very accurate
-nice scope
-super quiet
-amazing value for the money.
Cons:
Nothing yet.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Very reliable fps gun
By Andrew from Henderson, NV on January 8, 2012
This gun is made by crosman but it is still a very good gun to buy if you have no ideas on how a nitro piston will look or feel. It has reliable killing power at almost all altitudes. It is also much more silent than most other air riflesPros:
Nitro pistonReliable killing power
Cheaper nitro piston air rifle
Cons:

Answer:
I live about 150ft from my neighbor and I was concerned about the same thing. I took a chance and bought the nitro venom dusk .177. In my opinion it is the perfect gun for shooting in your backyard. The first shot sounded like a .22 rifle going off but that is because of the dieseling effect caused by the machining oils left in the barrel during production. Just make sure you get yourself a .177 cleaning kit and clean the barrel well before firing it for the first time. After my first shot it quieted right down and I absolutely love the gun. I've put about 200 pellets through it. The Rws hobby pellets work well and the crosman hollow points work good too. Beleive it or not most of my shooting has been in my basement. I have a 30ft indoor range setup and it's plenty quiet enough for that. My wife can peacefully watch tv with only the faintest pop going off down stairs. Don't get me wrong, it's not SILENT but the muzzle dampener and the nitro piston technology made this rifle plenty quiet enough for my needs.By Joe from Western Ky on March 14, 2012
Answer:
Not in my opinion! This gun with the piston instead of a spring is very quiet. The first shot after I received the gun was loud but after that is is very quiet. I noticed the same thing from my neighbor's air rifle after he dry fired it ( which is not recommended ).By Kristopher from West River, MD on March 14, 2012
Answer:
This gun when first unpacked and fired does have quite a loud crack but tends to quiet down after a few rounds. After break in with lead ammo I would equate it to firing a nail gun. However if you are using PBA ammo she will crack like a .22 powder round every time. If you are planning on using this rifle in a populated area it may draw some unwanted attention as this rifles appearance is very aggressive and could easily be mistaken for a real rifle.

Answer:
To Be honest with you I have not shot much at that distance. I have been shooting about a 1" group at 30 yards with the occasional flinger. The shots i have attempted at 50yrds have been all over but I have not been trying to zero in at that range. My friend has the Gamo Big Cat 1250 and i think his may be a little more accurate with its bull barrel but its hard to tell. I do like the gun though and it seems to be getting more accurate the more i shoot and now stick only with gamo rocket pellets.By Carter from Washington on February 14, 2012
Answer:
At 50yds, if you do your part, you can expect to get 2"+ groups...
