Crossman Vantage
This gun is fantastic! It is rugged, dependable, very accurate and very well made. The fiber optic open sights are incredible, it's like little light bulbs leading the way to the target, even in low light.
The power is quite incredible, almost equal to my .22 rim fire rifle. I believe the 1200 FPS is accurate. The shots barely drop at 60 yards.
I have use several types of pellets and they all work very well.
It is a bit heavy though (about 8 lbs.) and the cocking is stiff but fairly easy to get used to when you master the technique.
With that kind of power, it is worth it.
The gun is very quiet, and does not sound like a gun going off at all. It sounds more like two pieces of metal hitting each other, sort of like slamming a screen door. That is just what I wanted for backyard plinking in a neighborhood area and I am very comfortable and happy with the sound effects.
The pellets penetrate a heavy plastic bucket, sort of like a 5 gallon pail. They normally get stuck somewhere on the inside, and sometimes go all the way through. I think it has gotten a bit quieter as I have used it more.
It comes highly recommended, from me anyway.
I have not mounted the scope yet.
