Crosman Vapor Max?

No input at all at this time, but itching to get my hands on one - just on the looks! Will report back when (and if) I am able to get my hands on one soon.

Some reason looks like this gamo .

Maybe a rebranding. It was funny that crosman popped up at the near same as this one disappeared (???)

Don't know ?



Oops.. thats right , gamo owns crosman ... Case closed ..lol

Gamo China crosman is a non starter for me now. I'm hurt and bitter that they've stolen my love of 30 years. I bought one china crosman and it had to be returned within a week due to trigger group component failure, and I'm still really mad about the gamo acquisition and brand cheapening and disposal of certain components and tooling (as I was told on the phone)

I don't know what other beginner starting options we have anymore that aren't chinese. Their return procedure is sloppy to day the least and I sincerely hope you don't have to return anything. Best of luck

I really hope this is temporary but I am not holding my breath. I think the only good pumper left is the out of production Sheridans. I was lucky enough to find a NOS 72' Sheridan Blue Streak.

I suggest to anyone that wants a good pumper to find an old Sheridan and refurbish it or get an HW30 and be done with it.

Crosman done cheapend themselves on there own .. well the few holding companys that yossed yhem around did that .. gamo just picked up the mess on the cheap ..

Honestly only thing crosman had left going for them was hollow point pellets affordable at Walmart .

Seems my eyes exceeded Vapor availability; no Vapor to be had so far. Also, it seems I am coming late to the game; just found out Daisy bought out Crsoman. I always thought it would be the other way around eventually, so this is a surprise.

I still want the Vapor - it's just such a nice-looking pumper.

Just bought a Vapor Max yesterday and they immediately showed out of stock but I just went to look at my order and they have more available if any of you are looking.

Thanks Jeff!

Well, it took my order; lets see what happens.

Yeah mine hasn't shipped yet but I'm hopeful lol, good luck.

Thanks - you too!
Ever since seeing the initial post on this, I’ve been itching to get one. I am not much of multi-pump guy, but the Vapor just looks cool.

Thanks, yeah I love pumpers so I was pretty excited for this one.

Well, its seems mine is on the way; too bad I wont be here next week to get my greedy hands on it when it arrives; at least I will have something to report on my return. Honestly, I just can't wait to take it apart.

Right on, I just checked and mine will be here Monday.

Ok guys my Vapormax came in today so I wanted to do a little review. First thoughts are the stock feels pretty solid for it being all plastic it does shoulder well and the pump arm doesn't seem to flex much. The action and magazines are a little sticky but I'm sure they will smooth out as I shoot it more. The trigger is a little heavy averaging 5.7 lbs but does break well and is not overly long. Pumping is pretty easy to 5 pumps but not heavy at 10.
Ok now to the shooting, my house is at 7000' (2133m) so all my air guns except my pcp and co2 guns have a disadvantage but I can say this gun shoots accurately and pretty hard here are some velocities with a few pelles,

Here's some targets shot at 15 yards with 5 pumps straight out of the box



So far I'm really liking this, I will be putting a scope on it so more accuracy testing to come.

Nice Jeff. I've really been impressed with mine. Time will tell how it holds up, but I think it's a winner so far.
