Crosman Challenger PCP & CO2 Rifle, Open Sights

Good rating

Na

Excellent target rifle. Probably the most accurate i have ever shot.

Composit stock design....the forearm is quite thick.

It fills via a foster fitting and only holds 2000 psi

Very accurate, well made, good value rifle. Also, when I first charged the rifle it would lose 500psi overnight, so I contacted Crosman and they immediately sent out a replacement. However, during the next few days I was able to get the charge port to reseat itself and that cured the leak problem. So I returned the replacement rifle to Crosman - no shipping charges to me either way. Crosman did an exceptional job standing behind this rifle.

Upgrade options for better sights, metal front sight rail, greater adjustability for the cheek piece and butt stock, a little more detail in the manual concerning care and maintenance. I purchased the PA Ultimate package which came with rifle, sights, a Benjamin hand pump (works well, good exercise for an old guy), a pair of shooting glasses, a Foster quick disconnect, H&N Match Heavy pellets, a package of targets and a soft gun case (this competition rifle and sights deserve a hard case, which is what I thought I was getting - my error). In hindsight, the Foster, glasses, and gun case are of no value to me so I would recommend carefully considering whether the package deals really suit your needs. Also, I would like to see PA put together a competition package deal that would offer discounts on additional equipment options.

This rifle is becoming more popular with high school 10 meter shooting teams and it takes an exceptional shooter (Olympic level?) to out-shoot this gun. I will be using it in some Golden age competitions and I'm pretty sure it will always shoot better than I can!
I have been trying to find the pellet it likes best but so far none have shown a significant difference. So far my Crosman Premier Match Grade have been shooting as well as Qiang Yuan. Obviously I need someone better behind the trigger!

The feel of the rifle, accuracy, the ability to adjust the stock, but most of all the fact that the rifle has Gage in it to preclude the guess work of the amount of remaining charge.

Lower the charging handle for less cumbersome reloading.

Be prepared to purchase an appropriate air-refill fitting, as this air chamber/cylinder is not the basic CO2 refiller adapter.

Been shooting it a couple of weeks and it has worked beautifully. Like most rifles (.22, .223, etc) you have to try different ammunition/pellets to see which one gives the best groups. So far I am very pleased with my rifle.

I would like to see a place on the rifle to store the Allen wrench used to adjust the stock.

Remember safety first.
Shoot well and shoot often.
Invite or introduce others to the shooting sports. You will enjoy it even more!

I have only had this rifle a short time. I am very impressed with the workmanship. Have only put 50 some pellets through it so far. I have only used high pressure air, so I don't know how it will perform with CO2. With air using Crosman wadcutters, I am getting one hole groups at 10 meters. I love this airgun.

I don't care for the rough finish on the stock. But I am nit picking a little.

I am getting my groups with factory sights and 75 year old eyes. If you do your part the Crosman Challenger will deliver for you. Try it, you will love it also.

I bought this gun for my son for 4-H shooting sports. He loves this gun compared to the rest. It was real easy for him to use and has good balance. Very accurate

Nothing

A quality rifle to meet any target shooting requirement you may want to pursue.

Better sight rails.

Great value and well worth looking at for any aspiring competitive shooter.

Good value, accurate.

More range of adjustment on comb height - I need to make it a bit taller. The trigger could be adjusted better at the factory; it came with a LOT of creep, but is quite crisp after adjustment.

This rifle has a micrometer rear sight, not a diopter as described. If you need a diopter, it will have to be added separately.

The stock,shoot count,trigger,weight,accurate,price.

The sight and dove tail could be better.(I am nit pricking)

Worth more than its price tag,shoot great,loads of fun.
Hard to say more about it.
