I know what you might be thinking..."This clown is going backwards!" Lol I picked up the Daisy Lever Action Carbine in pink for my wife's 9 year old daughter for Christmas. I decided to write down every air rifle they had on the shelf at Wal-Mart and Murdoch's to do a comparison. That's when I noticed the Benjamin Trail Stealth in .22 which will likely be my next air rifle. Crosman addressed a couple issues, the trigger and sound suppressing with that rifle and I'm interested.
Since I'm on a fixed income, that likely will not happen until after the new year. Then I saw the Pumpmaster 760. It was actually a few bucks cheaper at Murdoch's, but no 4x15 scope. Since it was only a few bucks more, I decided to stick with Wal-Mart and check out the cheesy scope. Got it home, no scope in the box, have to take it back. Next day, I take my boxed rifle to the sporting department where I had seen 2 or 3 boxes like mine that advertise a scope. I put the box down on the counter by the register and go to the shelf where I had seen those boxes just the night before. As I'm standing there with my wife's daughter, the Wal-Mart employee walks up and stands next to me, but says nothing. So I just start explaining what's going on and that it looks like the boxes I saw the night before have been pulled from the shelf.
We walk over to the counter where I set my box down and he goes behind the counter, bends down and picks the top box off a stack of three that are set on the ground, out of sight, behind the counter. Instantly I knew something sketchy was going on. I told him I just want to exchange mine for one that has the scope, as advertised. He opens all three boxes, no scope. So I say whats up? False advertising? Somebody open up boxes and steal a bunch of 4x15 scopes? He says maybe it's just showing that it's possible to mount a scope. Now, if I didn't have my wife's daughter with me, I would've went to battle and walked out with a 4x15 Tasco scope for free for that silly comment. But those things take time and 9 year olds just don't have any patience. I went ahead and bought that $8 Tasco scope, which I will be returning today. Why produce something that is next to useless? I didn't know if my 4x32 Centerpoint that came with the F4 would fit. Well, it does and THIS should be the included scope.
Here's some shots and attempted zeroing of the Tasco:
The adjustment turrets do not click. They keep telling us these things are not toys but that scope is the most toy-like thing I have seen, yet. It HAD to go. I would prefer using the open sights to this useless thing...would definitely be able to see the target better.
I'm only shooting pellets through this thing, no BB's, ever. Crosman Copper Magnum 10.6 grain. Here's some shots after changing out the scope:
This little rifle takes me back. Loading BB' s in the pellet port and then wondering why they roll down the barrel when I aim downward.
I haven't even broken it in, yet and the groups are tightening up. Can't go wrong for less than $30!!!
