I'd say it's a good buy and worth the price, it's especially good when you get it on sale like I did for around 90 bucks.
I rate it 4/5.
Pros
Great gun, with great power, from tests this can generate above 25 foot lbs depending on the pellet, and it works with .22 caliber slugs as well.
Overall my positives are:
- Easy cocking effort, a 14 year old is able to cock the break barrel with one arm.
- A great amount of energy, perfect for medium and small game.
- We've used this to take down squirrels around 75-100 yards away with a clean one shot kill.
- Depending on the pellet, it can actually go above 950 fps, as we've broken the sound barrier with gold raptor pellets.
- Accurate and easy to operate air rifle.
Cons
- A bit loud for the backyard with lighter pellets as it breaks the sound barrier and creates a loud echoing crack.
- Scope is mediocre but not horrible.
With two plus acres of woods, we have plenty of squirrels. Not that I want to kill the little critters,I want them to leave our deer feed alone. This pellet rifle has the power for long shots and with the included scope, it will reach out and keep the squirrels scattering. Great product and would not hesitate to recommend it for the price/power. Thanks
Found this in the "Nick" of time for a merry Christmas to me gift....AND IT WAS $30 CHEAPER FROM THESE FOLKS than anywhere else I shopped, Including WalMart, Amazon, and Ebay.
Pros
Price, Price, Price!!!
Cons
None
This is a great air rifle for the money. Perfect weight and power. The accuracy is there too. Prior to this purchase of the .177 Cal., I had bought the .22 Cal. version. both are great air guns. AirgunDepot does a great job packaging their product for shipping. A box within a box... so no damage, excelent.
Pros
a great all around gun for weight, feel, power, and accuracy.
Bought this rifle to use to learn to do a tune. Can't beat the price shoots well service was prompt and timely.
Pros
Great price .shoots well nice feel and fit.
Cons
None
The gun is very easy to shoot and my wife and I shot it a bunch after mounting the scope, my wife was shooting better than me and at 25 yards all the pellets were within 1 inch with most touching each other, I like the trigger and the only thing I can think of is if the gun after being cocked went to safety would be better.
Excellent rifle for the money you just have to replace the scope with a better one
Purchased as a gift, have not opened.
I send a request twice asking to purchase / recommend amo and oil. No response??
First, chunk the scope. The rifle is excellent, with a lot of power. Once you get the trigger adjusted, and the irons sighted in it's a joy to shoot. I debated for a few weeks between a few models and don't have any regrets on this one.
Pros
Adjustable trigger
Plenty of power
Light
Accurate
Cons
Scope is trash
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Does it even have a proper rail, to mount a one piece scope mount, no Matter the distance or angle of the pics I can't see it oddly enough.
asked Felix Cardenas.22 shockwave can you load it and have it ready to shoot when you use it?
asked Phillip ReidLost compression suddenly
asked Thomas SublettIs this air rifle capable of humanely taking raccoons?
asked Eric Van from USAWhat is the maximum range for both accuracy and effect on varmints?
asked RoyCan an 8 year old child cock this rifle easily?
asked MitchWhat are the SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES.. between the Crosman Shockwave NP and the Crosman Phantom CPN both in .22 caliber... I want to know what the specific differences are.. not "depends on what you prefer" that was not a specific answer.. I want to know what the differences are.. Are they both the same year or is one a newer model ? is one more powerful than the other.. Thank you.
asked Wayne HennieWhat is the differences between the Crosman Shockwave and the Crosman Phantom both in .22 caliber. Also what is the FPS for each gun?
asked Wayne Hennieis there any difference between this rifle and the Crosman Phantom
asked CarlIt says there is an adjustable trigger, but I was wondering how you adjust it?
asked Bill
It took a couple hundred pellets before I was getting reasonable groups. Then I started testing different pellets with different pellet weights until I found a couple that worked in this rifle. I'm now grouping inside a quarter at 20yrds and confident to use it on small game
I take large snowshoe hares on a regular basis at a distance from 7-15yrd. Occasionally up to 20yrds but I don't usually like to reach out that far as it is a small projectile and easily susceptible to wind taking it off course.
I use this rifle for roughed grouse often as it is quiet and most birds are within my personal 20 yrd limit .
These are great guns no matter which model you get. There all based on the same nitro piston. Take the time to learn which pellets it likes and learn your own individual limits and this can be a terrific rifle for plinking ,pest control or small game hunting.
Pros
I love shooting this gun. Loose the 4power scope that comes with it and spend a few bucks on a proper optic with adjustable parallax and its tack driver.
Cons
If it comes with the 4power scope, take it off and give to a neighbor kid to play "eye spy" . Spend a few buck and get a good scope designed for air rifles that has an adjustable parallax.
