    Crosman Crosman Vantage Plus (with magazine)

    I removed the stock to see what the trigger looked like. The usual roller bearing and longer screw fixes won't work here. If you see a fix, let me know. BTW I finally found the pellet it likes (RWS Super Field 5.51 -- not Superdome) and got a one hole group at 10 yards.

    Crosman Crosman Vantage Plus (with magazine)

    Great report. I ordered one as soon as I could.. The one I got was so inaccurate that I didn't chronograph it because I was concerned I might hit the chronograph. I couldn't keep it on an 81/2X11 page at ten yards. I returned it to Crosman. I am hopeful that I will get a replacement that is OK...

    Crosman, it's not a big secret.

    Daisy bought out Crosman

    Private equities are known for "asset stripping" selling of the Crosman property after they close it will be the first step.

    Get your order in before the end of the year when Crosman shuts down. It is doubtful that Gamo will continue parts sale.

    Daisy bought out Crosman

    Crosman is shutting down sometime around the end of the year. It is doubtful whether we will be able to order Crosman parts after that. I'm putting an order together for bits and pieces now. On a hopeful note Gamo/Daisy customer service has been OK.

    FWB FWB 124 loving the new Benjamin 10.5 gr Domes -

    Good to see some actual experience with the pellet. Seems there are a lot of negative opinions by people that have never seen them. Thanks

    Other Which pumper did you shoot today?

    Crosman 362 converted to 17. The barrel shoots way above it's pay grade and the three screw trigger mod is a nice improvement,

    N/A Easiest and most accurate magnum springers you own?

    I always thought 20 fpe was the defintion of a magnum. When I first got into airguns I lusted after power so I had Timmy Mac build a C9A steroid. It is capable of 20 fpe if you are willing an able to pump 14 times. After that I had Mike Mellick (Flying Dragon air rifles) tune an XS 28 22 (Diana...

    Am I the only one?

    Barska 6-24 X42. I actually ordered two of these. One returned to Amazon no hassle, I kept the second one because the Amazon vendor denied the return and Barska wants $25 for a warranty return. First issue I've ever had with a Barska scope -- I don't mount them on powerful springers -- they are...

    Am I the only one?

    I had mounted a scope on this rifle previously and zeroed at ten yards without any difficulty. The scope is the problem, not the mounting hardware. This scope was supposed to be an upgrade. It was only useable with a compensation mount and even then limited by the lack of elevation range.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Gamo Big Cat .177. All metal and wood.

    Crosman Crosman 362, opinion

    The conversion is not that hard. I'm 83 and kind of fumble fingered these days so it' takes me some time these days. i really like the 362 platform -- i have one in 22 with a steel breech and scope which is re markedly accurate for such an inexpensive rifle, I have the 100th anniversary...
