Crosman Black Versatile Pumpmaster 177cal Air Rifle

This little airgun has been a steady for over 30+ years; I had one when I was 12 and I am 43 yrs old. This one I bought for my 11 year old. The new version is all black instead of the wood colored pump handle and it has more ergonomic shape than the orginal. It also has a new fiber optic site that is extremely easy to see. I would have to rank it even higher than orginal design by far.

While I know at this price point the barrel will not be rifled, it would sure be nice if Crosman could add that feature for $5 or so more. I am happy it's assembled in the U.S.A. but would like to know the percentage of parts that are domestic. Also wish the new models made it easier to hand load pellets. I don't like being reliant on a small piece (the pellet loader) that could be easily misplaced or lost in the field. Perhaps including a spare with the gun would be helpful.

I picked up the gun before they said it would arrive. The gun was exactly as described and seems to be a very good intermediate rifle for my son. It is his second rifle and he loves it!

This pump-up BB/pellet rifle is a great little plinker. It shoots straight & hits hard. Great for target practice and plinking. I really like the solid steel barrel. Most of the gun is plastic but that's OK because it keeps it light. I own several European spring/air rifles...but I think this rifle wiil see more use. I especially like the 200 BB reservour & approx. 20 BB magazine. Great job, Crosman!!!!

I am 55....this particular Crosman pellet gun is familiar to me, or one like it..... since Christmas 1968. It performed perfectly then, and follows today espdcially with the fiber optic sight I consider an appreciable improvement. Suggestions, with reservations that perhaps I simply did not make note, as follows: * I did not realize that clips for the pellets were additional. It may be clear in the store when viewing, but I was disappointed when I had to order separately through Amazon. It makes it difficult to make a value comparison without knowing that it required additional information. I realize that $5 is not a big deal for me; collectively, it's a big deal for you. Nonetheless, I give your timeliness and delivery condition excellent marks. Happy Holidays, and I'll see you soon....we're "regulars."

the pump master is surprisingly accurate with pellets,for its modest price.BBs are fair to midland. The rear sight has no wind age adj so a little twist may be needed. I mounted a BSA red dot,tuned it in and this little rifle can hit a quarter at 25yds.and will burry a pellet in a piece of pressed wood at 30..not too bad for under $25.How long it will last is still in question, Being I have only had it for a week. Pumping is a bit awkward but acceptable. Get a few extra pellet mags,They come in handy.

Descently good accuracy (shorter range) from bb's. Powerful enough to take care of rodents with bb's as well (<15 yds distance). Construction is what you'd expect at this price point. Took a short while to dial in the sight position based on shooting accuracy.

Good starter for people learning to become comfortable with guns before they get the real thing that is loud with a kick. I may just be weak but it says to pump at least 3 times but no more than 10. I barely got it to the 3. lol I'm hoping it gets easier with time. The pump part is plastic which is weird because the bb/pellet guns I grew up with had wood pump action. However, it is a well-made gun (not a toy, not for kids). It puts out a BB or a pellet with alot of force. I really think the site is cool.

We bought two of these for our sons, 8 and 6 yrs old respectively. The gun is easy to hold being light weight for small stature. My oldest was able to hit the paper target 30% of the time. My husband and I both found it difficult to line up the target. He's 100% accurate with a rifle and with a bow. Although this is a good starter gun, we think we should have invested in guns with scopes. The unopened second will go back, and we will pay the extra $$ for one with a scope. Overall though, my oldest son is satisfied - but he hasn't used one with a scope.

This was my first gun of any kind. It has enough power and accuracy to shoot holes in soda cans out to about 25 yards. It comes with a 5 shot pellet clip which makes reloading easy. The only drawback is it's a little small (but not unusable) for an adult male.
