Not bad for the money, nice group with the 6lb. trigger. Keep the great videos comming

Looks like it has potential.

Steve do you have any suggestions to smoothing up that bolt action other then just normal wear in and is there anything else you would/could do to bring it's performance up a notch?

Feels like something needs polishing and lubing in there but don't think much can be done for cocking force... bigger bolt maybe like Umarex did. Steve

Steve,

Thanks for the earlier reply RE: weight and age suitability. Marksalot picked up on the bolt action too. It seemed as if there were not necessarily dramatic issues with it but while watching you work the action it appeared that cocking did present itself as being a bit less than smooth. Your comment about increased bolt size to get a “handle” on the bolt action was interesting; I could see where that would help. In fact while watching I couldn’t help but think about what a pain it is with my meat paws to reach in under the BugBuster scope on my Benjamin 392. The bolt handle is tiny and the resultant cocking action is a bit rough. 

... Yeah, seems to be one of those things where ya can make it ugly or less friendly, pick your poison. I'm ok with the tiny bolt. I think it looks a lot better than a big one and for the price isn't a big deal. Steve

Great Review! Bugs were annoying. Looks like a fun air rifle.

 

[sdmmartins]

i think is the best gun to make dove hamburgers. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Stefanjan]

Thank you sponsers and Steve and Micheal for this. Interesting gun.

 

[Ericmakena]

Awesome review. For a second I thought I had bugs in my room. All in all looks a like a great air gun.

Thanks

Thanks Steve for the review. Thanks Benjamin for the opportunity to win the Fortitude Regulated PCP.

I grew up in Texas, think humidity and love bugs. The Air Force moved me all around the US west of the Mississippi except for 10 swell months in Montgomery, Alabama. My next move was to Colorado. My bride decided this is the place to retire, no love bugs, mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers and humidity.

Steve, can you pump this up at 7,400 feet?

Nice lil gun for the money.

I heard the reg doesn't work well. Gauntlet has a bottle, more shots. All I can say is this. I give Crosman credit. They have a quick disconnect on every gun. Higher end guns with probes including Air Arms. Do you know why I don't buy yours? Probes. Plain & simple. O-rings get cut even when chamfered right. Have to lube the probe. Ever have a whip hit you somewhere between 1200-2000psi? No? Yes? I have but I don't trust them now. It was not an Air Arms. Any Rainstorm I'm keeping gets Will Oiatts replacement fill in end of tube. Not cheap but worth it.

Nice Review! Totally on my watchlist.

 

[MI_Yeti]

Looks like a nice budget rifle. Dose anyone know if the bolt can be switched to the left side like the marauders?

 

[Bob25]

I wonder if a marauder trigger could be fitted as has been done on some discoverys?

 

[pakstitch1]

The gun seems like an ok plinker, I just don't know if the regulator makes it any better. The Hatsan Flash has more power and a better trigger.

 

[BS_Sage]

Nice way to get into regulated guns.

 

[Dwiley]

Same here, I purchased the Gauntlet it was good out of the box. But with some work it is my go to. 

 

[RogerV53]

Thanks for the review, good job Steve

 

[mike75rich]

Curious if the fortitude uses the newly designed Crosman barrels? Or did I just somehow miss that bit of info?

 

[Hatsanman13]

nice if single stage trigger is like my old web scott it should be a blast to shoot.
