Excellent Air Rifle
I read many reviews of Crossman air rifles and the Optimus was rated very highly. Now I understand why! It is an excellent piece of machinery. Sturdy build, quality throughout and a scope that was very easy to sight in.
It is a single shot, one pump rifle which is exactly what I wanted. The velocity for pest control is right on at 1200 fps with the recommended pellets (not BBs).
The cocking process takes some strength, as was pointed out by other reviewers, but not excessive. One pump is a vast improvement of the 3-10 pumps many rifles require.
I highly recommend this air rifle for pest control as well as target shooting. Read full review

Great starter rifle
Ive been playing around with this rifle as a beginner for a few weeks now. I think this is a great gun because its extremely accurate out of the box and you dont need to use C02 or pump it 10 times before firing. simply break the barrel, add a pellet and fire. i will note that the instructions say put about 250 shot through it before you can expect any real accurate readings but i found 50-100 shots was fine to zero in the scope and start target shooting. I recommend this gun for its durability and simplicity and accuracy. great value will last years.Read full review

upgraded to nitro vermon
I was sent a different model than ordered, but more powerful nitro system, in 22 cal instead
of 177 cal,and a better scope in 3X9X32 instead of 4X32. scope was easy to mount
and easy to sight in! With sand bags I can hit a dime at 25 yds. I got the wood stock and love
it!
was disappointed that this model did not have open sights...but great pellet gun!Read full review

Excellent Rifle
Wow, great quality for the price. Mine is a straight shooter right out of the box. I haven't had to site it in yet. First day I nailed 2 of the rabbits that have been destroying my horses hay. One 100 ft. chest shot and the other a fifty ft. head shot.
It is very well built too. Nice fiber optic sites. I am very happy with this purchase.Read full review

Crosman Optima Best "Quiet" Shot Varmint Controller
Because the neighboring ranches think they are helping themselves by killing coyotes, they end up shooting themselves in the foot by causing a Cottontail Rabbit and Blacktailed Jackrabbit population explosion on already sparse range. Those of us bordering ranchland inherit the rabbit problem and can't be shooting 22 caliber rifles because neighbors can hear them and it creates some level of control envy as rabbits are too smart and well-fed to enter their lettuce-baited Havahart traps. Enter the exceedingly quiet Crosman Optima .177 caliber break barrel single shot pellet rifle with the monster scope. While we can't get them all, we have suppressed the very local population to a level we can live with. It's a top quality rifle at a great price.Read full review

Quality shows in this great entry rifle
Quality shows on every part. The stock is free of imperfections. Scope mounting was fast and easy and I don't believe it will move. This is a break barrel rifle. Im a big guy and cocking this rifle would give me issues if I shot say 25-30 in a row.Read full review

scope and trigger.
Wish scope was Over/Under scope so you could iron sights with scope on, The picture for adjustment of the trigger is not as same as on gun. Different screw and hard to adjust without just the right screwdriver. Gun is very accurate up to about 100-150'.Read full review

A serious air rifle!
This is no toy. Will push gamo alloy pellets at 1200 fps. Trigger is a bit rough but hopefully will smooth out with more shooting. The included scope is far superior to other air rifle scopes I have had. All in all, a great buy on an adult air rifle.Read full review
