Crosman Optimus Air Reviews

Well constructed and good looking rifle. Good weight.

Center Point Scope did not last long due to heavy recoil. Good scope for it is a Hawke 4x32 AO Sport HD. You must modify the trigger to make it better. In you tube are videos on how to modify trigger. It works.

Accurate at 20 to 25 yards. Not good for long distance shooting. From 15 yrds. to 21 yards. aim dead on when zeroed at 20 yrds. At 25 yrds. 1/8" High. 30Yrds. 1/2" High. At 35yrds. 1" High. I do not recommend shooting pray beyond 105ft. Shot 10 bulls eye at 20 yrds.

The looks, even the name is neat. Where do the makers come up with names? The bluing is dark and even. Color and polish of wood is nice. Looks sharp but most contact edges are beveled. It pulls to the shoulder well and feels responsive to movement, good for a moving field target. The stock has narrow dimensions, especially in the forearm, nice for smaller hands and also feels good for shooters who like to make finger adjustments, it also makes the rifle feel lively. I like how the front of the forearm stock tapers off. I thought the sharp toe of the stock would get caught on clothing at the shoulder on the pull, but it doesn't. The gun feels good. Cocking resistance for a high power air rifle is not bad and feels nice as spring is depressed. The barrel closes with a smooth click, every small detail ads to aesthetic pleasure. Firing has a crisp sound, medium loud, the spring cycles clean excessive rattling or other creative noises. For a powerful air gun firing cycle is smooth. The square rear sight steadily lines up with the front sight. The trigger is a simple design with predictable let off, though it should be made smoother. Simple, well thought out design, enjoyable to shoot, the gun I pull out most often. The quirks have been worked out. I like how Crosman has easily interchanged aftermarket and replacement parts and the price is right. Easy to work on. Reliable. One of my favorite plinking rifles with lively handling and easy to acquire accuracy.

Make comb of stock a little shorter. Less plastic. Simple iron sights, no fiber optics, though they do help for quick sight acquirement is poor lighting. Smoother trigger. Shorten distance from pistol portion of grip to trigger, but keep the same design.

Ah put some fine adjustable iron target sights on and keep the same price..

This rifle is well made and you can feel the weight behind it in quality. I love the hardwood stock, the sights, and the adjustable trigger. I am a Vietnam vet and an old WWI and WWII battle rifle collector and I know quality when I see it. This rifle hits hard and is very accurate. You may have to adjust your sights but after you do this baby will hit bulls eyes all day long. If a youngster is shooting it you may have to have your dad around to cock it. It's not for weak muscles. I love the safety by the trigger. This baby shouldn't have any problem at all bringing down small game.

NOTHING!!

BE SAFE AND KEEP YOUR WEAPON ON SAFETY IF IT'S LOADED UNTIL YOU GET READY TO SHOOT. KEEP THE BARREL POINTED UP OR POINTED DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE WALKING WITH A FRIEND POINTING AWAY FROM HIM. MAKE SURE OF YOUR TARGET BEFORE PULLING THE TRIGGER. NEVER SHOOT AT DOMESTIC ANIMALS LIKE HORSES, CATS, DOGS, ETC.. TO UNLOAD AN AIRGUN SHOOT THE PELLET INTO THE GROUND.

I like the power it has because it can penetrate a lot of my plinking targets. Also, the gun is easy to cock, i like the safety it has near the trigger, and the feel of the material.

Nothing.

I would recommend this to a friend. If you want to buy this gun for a kid then this should work because i'm 13 and I have no trouble cocking it and whatnot.

I like this crossman air rifle because it is having high velocity but operation of this rifle is very simple.

It looks just like a real gun, and the price is not bad. It has good power, and I highly recomend it.

Keep it in a good case so it doesn't get scratched up. Don't forget to buy it!

I bought this gun for my 10 yr old son so he would have a good gun to grow into. It is very tite & has the look & feel & hits almost like a .22 rifle. Very accurate w/out a scope I hit a tennis ball from over 60 ft away.

metal for plastic sights thats it...

Great gun for the money--same features & same power as the top of the line airguns costing over $300.

The rifle looks great. I did a visual inspection upon arrival and this thing looks great! I love the wood and the feel of it. Pulls well into the shoulder.

A cover over the front fiber optic would be nice. Pre-mounting the scope or at least offering it would be nice. Make a .22 and a gas piston version. Rate the FPS based on a standard pellet weight.

I have not shot it yet as I cannot do so in my apartment. I will update after this weekend and a few hundred rounds.

i really love the price for the amount of power i get out of it is great

i dont like the sights but thats just me

every pellet i shoot fits and fire great through this rifle

The power for the price, and just overall, it is a good gun for $90.

Have this come in a phantom stock.....

Instead of the 18 fpe, It gets like 15-16 fpe.
