This air rifle has crude construction, sights that won't stay put, is dificult to load, and is much weaker than the reviews indicated (must have been writen by a seller). I would have done better to go to wally world and bought a cheap Daisy, I wouldn't be risking my fingers every time I loaded it and would have similar power and accuracy (maybe even better).Customer Review: SUPER POWERED RIFLE!!! FOR ONLY $ 20 BUCKS...WOW!!!!

SORRRY TO SHOUT...LOL!!!...BUT THIS PELLET RIFLE IS FANTASIC!!!....
I WAS FLIPPED OUT AND AMAZED,BY THIS RIFLE, WHEN I TOOK IT OUT OF THE PACKAGE AND SEEN THE AWESOME SHINY WOOD AND DARK STEEL FINISH. THIS IS A SORT OF HEAVY MADE PELLET GUN, THAT SEEMS WELL MADE FOR THE PRICE.
I MADE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, FOR SAFETY REASONS, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT THE DANGER OF LOADING THE GUN( CAN REALLY GET....UGLY!!!...FOR YOUR FINGERS ), IF YOU DON'T PULL THE LEVER BAR BACK, UNTIL YOU HEAR A CLICK, BEFORE STICKING YOUR FINGERS IN THE CHAMBER TO LOAD IT WITH A PELLET. PLEASE USE THE SAFETY, BY THE TRIGGER TOO.
WHEN I DID LOAD IT AND PUT THE BAR BACK IN IT'S ORIGINAL POSITION, IT WAS READY TO FIRE.
MAN, WHEN I PULLED THAT TRIGGER AND SHOT AT A OLD GLASS JAR, THIS THING WENT, " POWWWWWW " AND THEN THE CHAMBER AND BARREL WAS LITERALLY SMOKIN, LIKE THOSE OLD WESTERN MOVIE RIFLES. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THIS THING WAS REALLY REAL....WOW!!!...IT BLEW THAT JAR UP.
I'M USING CROSSMAN .177 CAL./4.5MM HUNTING PELLETS WITH THE POINT ON THE HEAD OF THEM.
GREAT RIFLE...WATCH WHAT YOUR DOING...NOT A TOY!!!...BE CAREFUL!!!
Customer Review: A "good and bad" air rifle that ended up all bad for me
Summary: 2 Stars
THE GOOD NEWS -
1. It's only $20.
2. This air rifle pumps nicely with one lever motion.
3. It fires reasonably near the same spot with each shot.
4. It has decent velocity. I have a number of air guns and like another reviewer, I agree that this one is in the 750-800FPS range.
5. The wood and metal pieces are not as nicely finished as we are accustomed to but they are sturdy and tightly bolted together. Again, hey, for $20...
From these basic observations it sounds as though it should be a decent air rifle. It's not.
THE BAD NEWS -
- 1. I could not get it's sights adjusted correctly. There was a limited range of movement and then after perhaps 30 shots the rear sight got wiggly.
- 2. Since the sights were useless I tried to mount a scope. I took one off of another rifle and then a red dot sight off of an air pistol and neither would stay attached to this air rifle. The groove that is intended to hold a scope was not machined deeply enough to securely fasten the scope... at least on the one I got. I bought another scope at Gander Mountain that I hoped would work but while it was closer... it did not stay on the gun.
- 3. The sense of "kick" on a spring operated air gun is simply the spring and piston that powers the pellet reaching the end of it's travel. On this gun the "kick" is significant to the point that it knocked that second scope that "just about stayed on" off of the gun every time. This "kick" may be what effected the sights as well.
- 4. About the same time the sights were deemed useless the pumping lever that is supposed to stay up underneath the barrel would not stay up where it is supposed to. I tried tightening the clip but the metal was very soft and the lever was fairly heavy and the kick (again) was fairly significant to cause it to just hang down off the bottom of the barrel about 2 inches. Annoying.
- 5. The trigger is downright crude. The trigger on my example was very stiff and I could not get used to feeling where it will fire.
SUMMARY - Because of the price this air rifle is a bargain. Since I cannot hit anything with it and I have a rubber band around the barrel to hold the lever up it just doesn't work well enough to shoot it. This was a waste of money for me.
The Chinese manufacturers and their Americna importers are both very fast learners. I've seen it with hand and power tools, scooters, and dozens of other items. I do not doubt that within a year this same manufacturer will be making a better air rifle than this one is right now.
If you are in the market for an inexpensive but very good air rifle, I recommend the Crosman 760 PumpMaster. They are a well proven design that is low cost, reliable and accurate. They can shoot EITHER standard .177 pellets or standard .177 round BBs. They are well worth the little additional cost over this air rifle. On the down side the 760s are a multi-pump (rather than a single pump) design and they use more plastic than more expensive air rifles but they are highly functional and accurate air rifles for a low price.
