Crosman Optimus .177 Caliber Air Rifle w/Scope 1200 FPS!

The rifle appears to be well made. The scope is pretty darn good considering it is part a $100 package deal. The iron sights are plastic but they seem to work well. Striking power is also very good. HOWEVER, accuracy is terrible using Crosman SSP pellets (6 groups at 40'). Maybe there is a break in period? I will try some higher quality pellets to see if that helps.

I got this gun and I have probably shot 300 plus rounds with it. It's accurate and powerful. The scope that comes with it is really good. I hit a target with a grouping of three quarters of an inch at 60 yards. First squirrel I got was a head shot from 20 yards. My scope and iron sights were zeroed in from the box, which was really nice. The gun is sturdy and the scope stays zeroed in very well. This gun is great for beginners and skilled shooters. The trigger is an easy pull and the cocking force is fine. This is an excellent gun!!!!!

This gun is amazing. I have a 495 fps Optimus and mounted a Tasco 3-7 x 20 scope and killed a bunny today with two shots.

Good gun, shoots great. The scope is not so good; in fact it broke right off the bat. I sent scope to Crosman and am interested to see if they will replace it without any problems. Getting rid of rabbits real quickly, even without a scope.

I bought this rifle after viewing many others, i do have 3 other rifles ranging from gamo to remington nitro piston. this gun is by far from what i have had experience with is so far the best and most accurate. it never misses, i have fired approx 1000 pellets through it using the provided scope and 'bang' every animal dead. scope still zero and no movements. it is medium loud but that is ok in the forests and woods as noone else is there, just me, my camo and this rifle. get one, get one now and do not miss out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This gun was stunning out of the box. I have never owned a high end break barrel(not yet at least) but I can't imagine them looking that much better than this. There is some uneven coloring of the wood on the inside of the wood near the break area but you would have to go over it with a fine tooth comb to see it. All screws were tight and the gun was well packed. The scope included(I bought the combo) was nice for a factory included scope. The noise was a little much for my apartment but this is my first magnum springer so it is hard to compare. It is about the same as my Stoeger X20 that I also received for Christmas. Very happy with the gun. My wife had issues with cocking it but once broken in I hope it will ease up a bit. Dieseling present even after 30 or so shots, clean the darn barrel before shipping and that goes for all manufacturers. Put a ring around the front fiber optic to protect it. Pellets, including crosman's own, need to be tapped into the breach otherwise the skirt gets cut off when closing. Some checkering would be nice but for the price the wood is beautiful without it. It would be nice if manufacturers who also make pellets(I don't expect them to recommend other brands) would test fire their pellets and give some basic recommendations on which one gave the best groups. This would save us a lot of time and money testing all kinds of pellets. Right out the box first shot was a dead center bullseye, one of the best I have ever shot, distance was 30ft and the pellet was one of the 10+grain Gamo round tipped. If you are looking for an entry level .177 break barrel look no further. My brother in law has a crosman phantom and his gun looks like a toy compared to the Optimus. The weight of this gun makes it feel like a firearm and commands respect. Buy it you will love it.

I hit a quarter from 50 yards with no problem

This rifle is one of the best rifles I have owned thus far. the accuracy is perfect. i hit a quarter from 30 yards 5 times in a row with out the scope. i reccommend this item for any rabbit or squirrel hunter.
