A lot of fun in a cheaper rifle- The Crosman 700

[45flint]

I bought this rifle for the curly maple stock but I took it out to the backyard today and was a bit surprised how a cheap rifle can be so much fun. First it didn’t leak which is always a plus. Lol. But to me what was so cool was the little pop that it makes. So backyard friendly. My better Crosmans like the 160 is so loud I don’t shoot it. Lower power on my 400 and 180 is tolerable. But this is just a gentle pop. I chrony it at 415 fps with Crosman 14.3 grain 22 pellets. That’s really a great power for the backyard and should make the CO2 last a while. It is deadly accurate another surprise really I think easier to shoot accurately than my more expensive 180 and 400. Also interesting mechanics with the wheel loading tap. Should be a awesome rifle for the grandkids. Sometimes its easy to write off cheaper guns but I wouldn’t with this one.
