After swapping out the stock trigger for a Challenger trigger on both my .22 and .177, I have to say it has made a huge difference. My groups were good with both prior, but are much better now as both triggers are set in the ounces single stage. I have also been playing with multiple barrel bands on the .177.
My conclusion atleast for the .177 is that Crosman found the perfect spot for the factory band. No matter where I move the band or even adding another band, the gun shoots best with one band in the stock location. I did not add a second band to the .22 but I did move it around and had the same results as the .177.
It was also released that Crosman has a new barrel making process and the Maximus guns have the new barrels. I have yet to pull the barrels to inspect them, but a simple cleaning and both shoot better than I would have expected for a $200 pcp.
For the price, there isn't much to complain about other than they are loud unless you add an ldc
