Crosman Vapormax

[Jeff B]

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 too 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 velocity disadvantage but I can say this gun shoots accurately and pretty hard here are some velocities with a few pelles,
Gamo Platinum 5.4gn
2 pumps 546.3
5 pumps 790.4
10 pumps 916.5
Max Energy 10.074 ft lb

Crosman premier 7.9gn
2 pumps 414.9
5 pumps 626.6
10 pumps 771.8
Max Energy 10.451

Meisterkugeln 7gn
2 pumps 468.8
5 pumps 662.4
10 pumps 807.9
Max Energy 10.147

JSB Exact Heavy 10.34gn
2 pumps 443.5
5 pumps 610.3
10 pumps 695.2
Max Energy 11.099

Here's some targets shot at 15 yards with 5 pumps and open sights 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 . Probably a smart move for gamo to rebrand this under crosman being its a type gun more in line with a crosman .. gamo got it covered when i think pumper its ether daisy or a crosman gun

Now is 10 pumps the max pressure ? I figured them pba (5.4g) pellets would go to the rated fps.

I agree it was smart on their part. I think the main reason the velocities are low is because of the 7000' elevation I'm at, even my break barrels are always 2-300 fps slower up here.

Ya, you did say that .. oops..lol

I commented on it as i thought nice when it was named a gamo then it just disappeared . now back as crosman ..

Hopefully it will give you good enjoyment ..

Is the dovetail rail plastic?

Decent looking- Is the receiver made of plastic? or cast pot metal ala old 880's hopefully

I could never get any accuracy out of those plastic skirt pellets of any brand. I got some JSB EXACT RS 7.33 that would do well in that rifle what's the barrel length. ?
I sure do miss my Sheridan will real Sheridan pellets. The Crosman 362 is almost the exact same size , and weight as that Blue Streak , but more powerful. I have 2 of those.
