So, just a heads-up, Crosman has been having these come in once in a while. I got one in .22 for squirrel duty, and for under 100 bucks delivered I have to say I am impressed. The scope sucks and I replaced it immediately with a Hawke, but the rifle itself shoots the wally-world Crosman premiere pellets well enough to be taking down red squirrels at 25 yards easy.

I really love that you don't have to worry about keeping it cocked for a while when hunting, which, IMO, makes it waaay better than a springer.

You can have them e-mail when they are back in-stock:

You can't go wrong at that price, but it makes me wonder why that keep getting all the refurbished rifles. Perhaps those gas pistons aren't holding up even past the warranty time frame. I'm curious how the cheap gas piston will hold up long term.

The scope sucks and is apparently a big part of it. The gas ram is easy to replace seals on.

I never even shot mine with the non AO scope it came with, but looking through it while holding it up with my hands was enough to be glad I had a Hawke to use instead.

They are also pretty pellet sensitive and mine took about 200 rounds to "settle down." Luckily, mine likes the Wally World Crosman Premier HP ones.

My experience with them hasn't been positive. I'm on my third Nitro Venom in short order. The third one's lasted the longest.....because I left it in the box. So Crosman has 2 Venoms to refurb from me.
