The Crosman hits like a hammer pushing normal Diablo .22 pellets just shy of 900 fps (the box says 1100-1200, total BS. Magic pellets?) But I get 1-1/2” groups to 65 yds. I paid like $120 for it new with a 4x scope and rings. I think from Midway.

The FWB is a jewel and as fine as any wood stock hunting rifle. Only 675 fps in .177 but I can hit a quarter at 50 yds! I rebuilt it several years ago with parts, piston head sourced from Canada. I could have upped the spring to a 900 fps level but I was afraid I’d hurt that superb accuracy. Shooting 9mm or similar disposable cases at 25 yds. is fun!
