Bought one of these a number of months ago in .22. We have some large parrots outside on the porch and living in a rural area the rats were getting very brave. I thought the pistol would be easy to track the rats and with 10 pumps it would be strong enough at close range to kill them. Never have been able to get any kind of accuracy out of this gun. I had my son try it ( He was a firearms instructor with explorer scouts) and could not do any better. Very large "groups" at five yards Also the sights can not be adjusted to place the large groups on target. Pyramid Air was great and replaced the gun, same thing with the new one. Any experience with this gun. Not expensive I know, but this is very disappointing for even a cheap price. Any suggestions? I now bait the porch and the Diana Chaser does a good job with H&N Barracudas in .22.

IVe got one, got it when it first came out.... A lot of great and clever engineering in it. But had the same issues you describe.
HAve been inside it, a total tear down, and IMO you’ll never be able to get acceptable accuracy from it.
How to deal with it? get a 1322 and put the Strikepoint in box on the shelf.......

Misery loves company. The review videos tell a completely different story, not sure how that works. Umarex makes a pcp I find interesting but my experience scares me. Probably go with a Benjamin, when I can.

Try to have the dealer send a return shipping label wash your hands and go with the Crosman. I would order a Custom shop with steel breech with Lothar Walther barrel longer if possible so you can put a TKO LDC on it. If you are financially stable ask if they can put a P-Rod trigger group in it. Their Red dot is cheap on clearance over at Crosman as well.
Good Luck.
If you can't return then last resort pellets that have already been proven to work for OTHER guns that shot terrible that seemed to have zero accuracy hope are 14.3gr Crosman Pointed in the 175 count tins and H&N FTT 5.54 and 5.55 and the 5.53 as well.

There is a cock a too and a bkue and gold macaw. The cock a too is loud, messy, dangerous and co dependent which results in lots a uh calling. Those are the reasons to shoot the bird. Its expensive to feed too. On the other hand that would put 43 years of marriage in danger. They had to come in during Irma. Hard decision to make about staying in the house

I was thinking of throwing it at them. Heavy gun. I figure I could stun thrm take the gun and have 8-10 shots to hit it at about 3 feet.

Are you guys all Crosman employees? How could any company hope to stay in business if all their guns came of the assembly line like that?
