Picked this up at the same show as the Weaver K-4:

It's a crosman Optimus.

For a blonde birch stock, it ain't too bad.

Strong rifling for a pellet rifle. Decent breech seal. The breech face needs a lot of cleaning up- it's awfully hard to seat a competition grade pellet in there. This job is quite similar to a crown clean-up. It's just on the other end of the bore. :lol
With everyday run of the mill 7.9 gr crosman pointed pellets, no loading problems. She's averaging 465.6 fps over ten shots, and the extreme spread is low- 6-8 fps over 4 different strings. Lotta good potential here. Paid about 80 u.s. for it new. Came with a real junk 4x32 Chinese scope.

I like the stock contours. Once I get the power plant working proper at low 9's, I'll see about cherrying up the stock...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

fair price if you can make it do what you want - it has nice lines
