Crosman Optimus .177 Rifle
With a muzzle velocity at 1,200 fps, the Optimus is yet another lightning shooter, flinging pellets faster than most rimfire guns can launch a piece of lead. Almost as impressive as the velocity created by this rifle is the way it feels in your hands, very solid and evenly weighted.
Quarter sized groupings at 30 yards is a breeze with a gun like this. The scope isn’t match grade or anything, but it’s perfectly adequate for object within this rifle’s effective range.
On the plus side, this single-shot break action rifle never requires a CO2 recharge. On the downside, the break action makes reloading a bit slow. That’s true of all the guns in this price range, however. To get deadly accuracy and muzzle velocity in a repeating rifle, you’ll quickly find yourself in the $500+ range.
Crosman packs a lot of power and features into this very affordable package.
