Pros
A very substantial weapon. Seems to be well made and feels Ike a quality piece. I feel it is a good value for the price.
Cons
Hard to sight in using the iron sights. Have not tried it with the scope that came with it. I also found that breaking open the barrel to load requires a lot more effort than I anticipated. If your not pulling it open at the correct angle it requires a lot more effort. Slower loading than I had hoped for.
I would buy this gun I think you will be pleased with it
Pros
I like the way the gun looks. I like the power of the gun. I like the weight of the gun. I like the accuracy of the gun. I liked the price of the gun. I liked the iron sights on the gun even though they are plastic. There was very little not to like about the gun. I did change the scope. I put a barska 3by9by 32 scope on it. Once I had fired about100 shots thru it to break it in it was very accurate. I'm getting bullseyes thru it at 30 yards..All in all a good gun and a good buy. I'm happy with it. I liked Airgun depots prompt shipment. I actually got it a day early. All in all I'm very pleased with my dealings with them. And I'm pleased with the gun
Cons
Maybe a better scope. Even though I had no problems with the one that came with it.
If you have an eye on a rifle or any other product, go for it! Have fun!
Pros
Having owned used a Diana 34 .177 & a Diana 48 .22 since 1995, I wanted to try a nitro piston rifle. After reading many reviews of the Crosman. Vantage np, & considering the good price I ordered 1 in .177. I'm very impressed with it an have no problems from the 1st shot. Great entry level rifle to nitro piston & air rifles in general. Also prompt, excellent service from AG Depot. Hope to do more business again soon. Thank you!
Cons
None, really. Don't see that much wrong with Crosman's long trigger pull.
That's all!
Pros
Much quieter than expected
Cons
Very poor accuracy! Even with doing all the investment "Mods" on the rifle and scope upgrades(multiple), this rifle has very poor accuracy with any pellet tried! It's been shot hundreds of times with little to any improvement. Everything is tight as far as being snugged down like it should be but to no gain in accuracy. I'm glad I didn't pay much for it, now I can just get rid of it and not feel bad. FWIW, I own or have owned several dozen air rifles and have never had one that time and TLC couldn't improve!
I'm sorry that Bill had a bad experience with his Vantage rifle, but it pays to get to know how these things work and be able to fix or modify them to get the best out of them, I have several cheap air rifles that weren't much out of the box, but with a little investment of time and a few bucks they have turned into great shooters, this is one of them.
PS, mine is going on three years old now and still shooting great.
Pros
I have some high quality air rifles and some that are pretty inexpensive, but I'm picky about what I buy and do my homework, the Crosman Vantage in my opinion is one of the most inexpensive air rifles I own, but in spite of it's low price, it's a well built good quality air gun.
Cons
I don't like the bland finish on it's wooden stock, the bundled scope was junk, and the trigger was horrible, but it took 15 minutes to sweeten the trigger, just a few minutes to mount a better scope and it's turned into a highly accurate, powerful, and capable plinker and short range small game rifle, it's reasonably light weight makes it a great woods walking gun, worth every penny I paid for it.
this gun is junk. I have owned many air guns and shoot frequently. This gun doesnt shoot straight and the barrel sticks when cocking. I would rate this gun at zero stars. Do not buy this gun.
Pros
Poorly constructed
Cons
sights scope barrel
Good overall air gun. No problems at 1500 pellets. Great for squirrels and is accurate. Havent had any pellets not pass thru at close range to 30 yards The sights arent bad but they are plastic which bothers some people. If you plan on putting a scope on there Id recommend quality rings with a machinehead/ torx screw, regular weaver thumb screws just slide back from the recoil.
Pros
Accurate, reliable, nice trigger when adjusted
I highly recommend the 4-16 x 50 true hunter from utg, just make sure to crank the ring bolts down. I have the scope "walk" back around 3/8" due to powerful double recoil
Pros
so this isn't a top of the line air rifle. But having said that, for what you pay its amazing super accurate, loves h&n baracuda pellets, or anything around 10gr.
Cons
Ok I get the previous "china" comment, but they only make parts there, gun is assembled in America. Only issue is rear sight and scope it comes with. I removed both as after 70 shots it was still all over the place. Get a better scope!
steer clear of this china crap
Pros
looks like high quality feels good when shouldered well finished
Cons
rear sight is junk scope is junk trigger is trash accuracy is terrible
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Is it made from real wood?
asked Alex from USAHow do you get a bipod on this? I bought a bipod but the barrel was way too wide to fit, any ideas?
asked Donald from USAIs this rifle made in the US or China?
asked Jason from USAThe Vantge is assembled in the US. It may have Chinese parts in it.
Mark from USAis this available in .22 caliber?
asked Aidan from USAYes.
Dennis from USAHow many times can you pump for 1 shot?
asked Walter HorneIs this gun made in USA?
asked SHDoes the safety auto-engage when the barrel is broken and cocked?
asked Mark from USANo. Mine does not.
John from USANo, it is a manual lever safety.
DylanAre the sights plastic ?they look cheap.
asked victorThey are plastic, but they do hold the adjustment well. I am pretty rough with mine and the sights have not gotten out of adjustment yet. I am very happy with the sights and the scope.
Bill from USAI am really not sure if the sights are plastic or metal. They look like metal and are pretty solid. The front sight has a luminous piece built in. I have only used the on-rifle sights a few times before going to the scope that came with the rifle. The base sights are pretty good and have enough adjustment room for reasonable sighting-in. I'm sure the basic sights will do the job for you unless they are damaged in some way.
Richard I. from USAdoes a Nitro Piston Air Rifle need to be refilled with gas, or not. thx, scott
asked scott from USANo it does not. A gas piston works just like the spring would. Just break open the barrel until it locks, then load the pellet and return the barrel to position and fire. Never need co2 or compressed air, just pellets.
Brian from USAIt was mentioned in the description, "Enjoy quieter shooting". Can anyone tell me if it is low - medium - high or scale 1 - 10. Thanks
asked Daveits about a 3 I love it!!!
bobIt is quieter than my spring powered crosman of the same power, but I would still consider it "medium" loudness. It is powerful and the piston provides quite a pop. It is louder to the shooter then someone even a few feet away. It was 92 on my decibel meter about a foot from the muzzle.
Brian from USA
After more than one year of use, and hundreds of different rounds fired, this is the least accurate rifle that I have ever used. Photo attached shows placement of the different brands/types of ammunition (Daisy, Crossman and Barracuda). The shots were fired from a sled at 10 yards without a single adjustment to windage or elevation. The functional value of this rifle is that of a large, heavy paperweight.
Pros
Not many
Cons
All of them
