NICE! you will like it, so quiet and the trigger is great.
Finally able to shoot mine yesterday- sighted it in 5 shots and BAMMO 1 in group @25yds 1.5 @50. Now to dial it in a bit more a test it out to 75 today! Shooting the H&N Sport Baracuda 22 Cal, 18.13 Grains, Round Nose,. Waiting for the Air Arms 16g Rich said it shot best with to arrive.

Received mine today. What pellet does anyone recommend? Not sure where to begin with what brand and weight I should order

Head to your local sporting goods store and buy a couple different tins. Mine likes 18 grain, 5.5. once you have it sighted in. Shoot one clip with one brand. Shoot it with the other brand/weight going to be a little bit of trial and error to find what your gun really likes. And the ones it doesn't like. Those are great for plinking at empty cans in the yard with your kids or a friend that doesn't know how to shoot. Plenty of free paper targets to print out online.

Pulled the Weaver scope off my .243 AR10. Definitely got to get something that will focus down past 50yds

Yeah I found the AA 16g are lasers out of all the Craftman series guns. So much so I’m adding them as an option when checking out any of those guns on my website.

Sir I don’t know where you got that info but I’m far from retirement. I’m a full time Master Airgunsmith that works closely with Crosman/Benjamin. My prices are that low because I’m only a second party supplier. In a nutshell I’m capable of supplying other Airgun retailers. Thank you for the kind words it truly means a lot to me. Have fun with the gun!

Thanks for that info. There are so many brands and weights it's almost mind boggling to know where to start. Is AA air arms?

Wasn't a bad thing saying your retired! You mentioned semi retired on the phone. Anyways mines likes the HN Baracuda 18g. Tried some 23g slugs a buddy had and they were a nogo. I'll stick with pellets for this gun. I'll come in a few months for another rifle

Ordered some Air Arms 16 pellets this morning along with a cga347 adapter hose to fill gun though I'm not excited about the reviews on all the fill hoses no matter where I look.

Received the fill adapter today as well as the AA 16 pellets. Had an issue at the fire department so I wasn't able to shoot but I did get to grab a tank to try out filling rifle. Finally got it to fill but I had to tighten it much more than the actual air pack fittings. Of course this is the main issue with most reviews but I did get it filled to about 2900psi and stopped there. Hopefully I can try it tomorrow with the AA pellets but rain is in the forecast and we honestly need the rain more than I need to shoot as people's springs are drying up.

Looks like Air Arms tightened groups up a lot at 50yds. 12 shots. Thanks @Airgun-Revisions .

Whatdo you have the tranfer port set at?
With my Cayden using 15.89 jsb pellets if I turn it down say1/2- 3/4 the groups tighten up. Give it a try and let me know if it does the same on the Kratos.

I'm sure happy thus far. Hope the discontinuation doesn't hinder any parts I'm the future. Kinda wish I would have got the Gunnar but it was I little out of my price point and I wanted a wood stock.

I haven't tried as I've left it where Rich set it. might be something to do after I get home from work today. As soon as I drag it out though my youngest daughter will take it over but hey, that's good stuff in life watching that.Whatdo you have the tranfer port set at?

Give it a try, I have been able to fine tune the groups doing this method.
