Crow Magnum back in action! (graphic)

ChuckHunter · Aug 7, 2019

Well finally tracked down all the parts to put my shipping disaster .20 cal crow magnum back together ! And got out to see if she's till shooting right...scope was a little off from the rough handling she indured but with a couple clicks at a time she's back to her hunting accurate self! I like this American walnut stock better than the African heudua stock that got trashed or stolen we'll never know...

Only clicked a couple at a time to make sure it was settling in and ended up with the 5 shot group to the right. And then a sparrow landed about 5 yards behind the 30 yard target and got smoked! I'm keeping this gun until I cant cock it anymore!!! Lol. Shooting the new JSB .20 cal 15.9 heavies at a little over 19fpe.

I used to have one in 20 cal.

Ha, I like how you said "hunting accurate", mine was a 1" er at 25Y on a good day.

I had one in .22cal back in 2000 or so. The cocking effort is something I'll always remember. It killed a Beeman Blue Ribbon 50R (2.5X) scope so ended up putting a Leupold 3-9 EFR on it that did survive. I was getting about 26 ft lbs with 14.3 gr brown box Crosman Premiers which were the most accurate.

That group to the right on the target will cover with a nickel! And that's a lot harder to do with it at full power...that's why she's detuned to 19fpe. Much tamer beast and way more accurate! The bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 has held up well for years! Made in Japan.

Looks awesome,

I've had mine for almost 25 years, it still shoots .22 cal 18 grain JSBs at 25 foot lbs.

I decided to have it gone through and seals checked after such a long time.

I just sent it to Airguns USA. For a detune to 20ftlbs and new orings.

I wanted the barrel weight removed and a moderator added, so they are adding a Evolution moderator for me as well.

It's just one of those guns I don't think I could ever sell.

If you ever need parts it seems like AirgunUSA is doing the Theoben rifle repairs and the do have spare parts.

Its great you got yours back together, looks like its working great and it looks good too.

Have fun

very nice rifle...

in so far as "scope killer" spring rifles...I use open sights on the magnum springers except my AA ProSport...

Martin at airguns USA and David Slade at airgunwerks both do a top notch job on these old theobens. Impact airguns in the UK carry a lot of unubtainium parts too...

The trigger guard I just got from them was brand new in the package!

Is there any truth to it if you shoot these rifles at full power that the seals will fail. I had one and sold it because one of the above mentioned said if it was shot at the higher power they would fail. In less than 500 or so shots my .20 was at about 18 ft. Lb.
