I have fired it about 25 times so far. The first 6 shots were very loud as the oil burned out from inside the barrel. After that the usual quiet “thunk” you expect from an air rifle.
It appears to be an excellent quality rifle. It is made in China though, so we shall see.

I’ll be honest, this was my first airgun. I went to a retail store and picked the first break barrel gun I saw for a decent price. I didn’t want to think too much or do research. For that kind of buyer, this gun is perfect. It has appeal and does the job.
Since then I’ve done a lot of reading and hanging around forums. I can tell you I won’t buy another one like this. Since buying it, I’ve spent probably another $100 tuning it into a condition that allows me to hit where I’m aiming at.
This gun has a few problems. Fist the trigger is terrible. It feels more like a hand/finger exerciser than a trigger. Its a chore to pull. They went for safety and cheapness over accuracy and quality. You need to spend $30 to replace it with an aftermarket piece.
Next is the barrel latching widget. Again, not the greatest and cheap. The barrel pivot bushing are actually plastic. Not good. If you close the barrel too hard, the mechanism won’t latch and will bounce back instead. Again, not good. Since this is a break barrel, its important that the barrel latch is consistent. On this gun its not. Your zero will wander around from day to day.
Thirdly, its very hold sensitive. With springers, you need to hold them very loosely and let the gun recoil freely, like a howitzer in its frame. If you palm it a bit too hard the gun will vibrate more and send the pellet off in some direction.
Lastly, the inside of this gun is dirty like a Chinese brothel. You need to degrease and deburr the receiver and put it back together using proper lubes like spring tar, moly lubricant for the piston and dielectric grease for the seal/compression chamber.
Now for the good things. This gun looks GOOD. Nicely shaped stock and well balanced all around. Secondly, it shoots okay if you want to shoot cans and not paper targets. It has quite a bit of power. Thirdly, the scope is decent. For beginning shooters it more than enough.
Overall, for the purposes that I got it for, it works well. If I had to spend my money again I would buy a $200 gun factory tuned from a good tuner. It would shoot a hell of a lot better and more consistently. For a starter gun/tuning practice something cheaper like a B3 or similar would have been better. For a 10m target gun, an ISH 61 would have been better as well. This gun does all of the above but doesn’t excel in anything. Again, don’t bother with this gun if you intend to shoot at paper. Thanks.

THIS IS MY THIRD AIRGUN(second crosman) and it is by far the best one yet. IT is very,very accurate and it blows a hole right through both sides of a tin can, without knocking it over. It is awesome! If you use Raptor Velocity Gold Pellets It Sounds Exactly like a .22. GO CROSMAN PHANTOM 1000X!!!
