Received this the other day. Yet another inexpensive rifle to play with and tinker $85 I love project rifles., Opening the box I was surprised to see the nice stock I'm lucky. The rifle is very well built for a $100 entry level gun. Cleand the barrel and pushed a pellet thru. The barrel on this rifle has no choke, the pellet fix sung all the way. Then went out and fired ten shots. The safety is manual so watch the fingers. It's a little crunchy but all but two filyers in the 2 center rings at 10yds with open sights. Didn't chronograph but it seems to have decent power in the .22

This weekend the rifle will be disassembled debured and tuned. The trigger a typical Crosman but it has a nice predictable break. I may work on it but it will probably get better just by shooting it. the trigger will be inspected and get a lube for sure.

I will also be doing video on soft bedding on this rifle. I soft bed all my wood stocked break barrels. And a few for friends that have become believers in the difference it makes.

Will post the bedding video when completed.

It sounds like fun. I think you're indicating that it's a Crosman. What's the model number?

Former coworker has a .22 Optimus and is quite happy with it. Says he can reach out and smack a pest with no problem.
