Rest in peace, Kenny. I really miss you and your reviews and informational videos on airguns. I still watch your videos on your channel. I refer others to do the same. I'm thinking of buying a new Crosman Vantage, so here I am watching this video again. I always valued your opinion, your knowledge, and your shooting skills. You lost your fight with cancer. I'm right in the middle of mine. Kenny always gave a solid no-BS review of an airgun, and I liked that he reviewed lots of inexpensive ones for those of us that can't afford the high end stuff.
Jon neet I hope you beat cancer god bless🙏
Hey man you still with us? I hope so 🤞🏾 God Bless
I'm still in the fight!
@@jonneet2126 great to hear 💪🏾
@@jonneet2126hey Jon I hope all is well
My deepest condolences to Kenny's family. This awesome short video speaks loudly of his lovable character and substance.
To Kenny’s family - sincerest condolences. Absolutely LOVED his videos. In this one, I learned about the longer screw trick - that info is priceless. He will be sorely missed...
A good optic cleaning ( 4 times) made a big improvement in clarity for a 4-32 scope. Ajustments windage and elevation work spot on. No peralix problem. This Center Point is a good air rifle scope.
I have this rifle in both .22 & .177. Both are tack drivers. especially at this price point. I did the trigger screw and RC bearing mod to both. As for the scope. I found that if you unscrew the objective lens ring then focus the scope. they are fine. My .177 needed almost 2 1/2 turns out. I only used a small punch to hold the lens ring, to make sure the focus didn't change while tightening the lock ring. If it moves in the future (I already have over 500 rounds through it) I will refocus and locktite it in place. For a 4X30 scope, they really aren't that bad. I am using a Barksa 3-12X40 AO on the .22. Like all air guns they do differ. My .177 liked the 7-8 grain pellets best. I still miss my old RWS Model 45, nut this gun has more power and is just as accurate. I can't wait to take it hunting. The RWS Super H Points should work wonders on bunnies.
Thank you Kenny.....reviewing the rifles at this price break is important and shows that higher prices don't equate to better quality of shots or workmanship.
Kenny, I got my new Crossman Vantage NP a couple of weeks ago and I did the RC bearing mod to the trigger. The rifle really shoots nice thanks to your trigger mod! Thank you! The pellets the rifle likes so far are the Ruger pointed pellets from Walmart. I tried the Crossman Hollow Points and they don't seem to be as accurate. I have a variety of pellets on order to try out. I know this rifle will be a nice and quiet squirrel getter! Mines a .22 caliber. Thanks a bunch for a nice thoughtful review on this rifle.
I did exactly what you said you would do as far as sanding down the stock when i got mine from walmart this spring. I didn't stain it i just put many coats of lacquer on it then a fine wet sand and then a good polish and boy is it pretty. Good review btw.
He makes a good point on people returning because of bad scopes. When I was looking at reviews people were giving the gun 1-3/5 because of the scope being useless
Always enjoy your videos because you're blunt and honest. You're my go-to airgun reviewer before I buy another gun. Also have this gun but with a spring power plant and it's excellent. I did just pick up a Benjamin Prowler Nitro Piston for $79.99 from Academy and I like it better than my Vantage springer. It has a synthetic stock but its solid peice of plastic, so heavy like wood. The stock mold fits like a glove, balances better, and just has a better feel. It doesn't have open sights though. I suspect it's the same gun as yours with different configuration. It averaged 1003 ft/s with extreme spread of 12ft/s with CPHP 7.9gr. I'm sure it would do better with better pellets, but accuracy was great at 15 yards (dime size). Anyways, just wanted to share another gem of an air rifle around $80 in a different configuration.
Thanks Kenny!!! You always do a great job of reviewing!!!
Go to hear that Crossman is doing something right with the break barrel again,,,love wood stocks on air rifles,,,,Way to go Crossman,,,,and Thanks Kenny for all the good knowledge of air rifles and gun You share You are one of The Best
Excellent review! I bought one and Its a superb rifle!
I have a Crosman NP Dusk .22 that I am very pleased with. I imagine it is mechanically similar to this one.
Ad always, Great review Kenny.
I have one of the Vantage spring models in .22 and it is a very accurate and hard hitting little rifle with several pellet types.
I did the RC bearing mod. to trigger a couple years ago and it made a world of difference.
I have taken legal to take invasive species dove beyond 60yds with the rifle which delivers a silid thump and instant kill at that range on those large pigeon size doves.
this gun shoots just as accurately as some of my much more expensive Hatsan Vortex and spring powered rifles and is lighter to tote around.
I'll have to get one wirh the NP power plant now and see if mine is as good as the one you reviewed here.
Thanks again, for the excellent videos.
You would think Crosman would offer that trigger adjustment and make the guard with a hole and a longer screw. Great fix.
Thanks Kenny!!! Glad that Crosman has at least one good rifle in their lineup..
I really enjoy your videos. I think they're very cohesive and well made. You do a good job.
Crosman counts on people thinking the cheaper guns are inaccurate and springing for the more expensive guns. If they improved their cheaper line of guns they would lose revenue on the higher end models. Only smart people benefit by knowing how to install and sight in a proper scope.
Excellent review. I feel like the 4x32 scope included worked well for me @20m but other than that I felt like your review was spot on
Great review Kenny my Crosman F4 .177 love the H&N Crow Magnums 9.26 very accurate!!
Thank you for this very well-explained and thorough review. I am going to buy one based on your review. I would appreciate it if you give the exact model # of the Leaper UTG 4x32 scope you recommended and the best place to buy it from. For this rifle, I am willing to spend up to around $40 for a better scope.
he's dead
It's the UTG 4x32 Hunter with 35yrd parallax.
He has passed away since this review.
Rest in peace Kenny
Nice shirt. We saw everything
Good vidéos,
likes✌👍🙏😊
Thanks.
Hi Kenny, thanks for this amazing gun test, but imagine what this gun could do accuracy wise, when rested with a proper soft bag resting method !
Also all that drilling debris going down the trigger housing apparently worked wonders with the trigger mechansim, LOL !

I think I may have a good test for 2 or 3 different break barrel guns. It has to do with the gun stand. I would love to see a good accuracy test with the front of the gun resting the stock on the stnad, against the muzzle of the gun resting on the stand. For a break barrel gun, I think the rest, or bi-pod close to the muzzle will get better groups, as it will help assure "full lock" for a break barrel gun,---IMO.
Interestingy, Kenny talks about Crosmans junk 4x32 Centerpoint scope, and asks why they bother to include it. They still sell the .177 caliber Vantage with that scope for about $109. But, they sell the .22 Vantage for $90.75 without a scope. I'm considering getting the .22 Vantage. I have enough .177 brake barrels.
Rest In Peace
Awesome review Kenny and your right it's good to have a good .177 around and at that price point ya just can't beat it. Kenny I want your opinion I liked your review on the Beeman Dual caliber in Nitro Piston but which gun is the most accurate and out of the two guns if you had to choose one which would you choose to keep?
Great review. These guns have such great potential; it’s a shame that Crosman puts such bad triggers and scopes on them. I have an Optimus 1000 which is identical to the Vantage. I swapped in a GTX II trigger (like the Charlie da Tuna) and added a Bushnell Trophy 3-9X scope - much, much better. I recently installed a Nitro Piston conversion kit from scopesandammo.com. I find the rifle is just as powerful, but smoother to shoot and doesn’t require as much of the “Artillery Hold” to shoot accurately now that the big steel spring is gone.
Hi I bought this rifle yesterday and had 1 shoot without any pellet , can i damage my riffle?;/
I have the shockwave, and at the same distance, with de scope center point i have a nice accure, but after 5 or 7 shots, de scope loss the center...anyone with the same problem?
Do you have to shoot this airgun using the artillery hold like springers or can you shoot it gripping the stock.
Thanks for the video
Grumpy
Great video - nice gun my friend!
Good powered 1.77
My F4 must have about same FPE it hits hard when It hits something
Dear Kenny, thanks for another honest review. I purchased this rifle after watching your "Fix a Crosman trigger" video, I must admit that it turned out to be a great rifle, my question is do you know what kind of wood is the stock made of, it reminds me of my 10/22. I paid 88+tx.
I thilk it's Beech wood.
I would like to know if you would do a review of the Webley VMX 22 with the adjustable power?
Can you mount a Williams rear peep sight on this. Is the front sight the correct height to work with a peep rear. I am looking for a field hunting rifle for small game and quail
Don't know.
Whats better the phantom NP? or the Vantage ?
Thank u
Hey by any chance would you be able to get your hands on the gamo varmint its under $100 i have looked for info but i cant find one video of it i only find videos of the varmint hunter. Thanks for the videos keep it up
Crosman makes 3 or 4 NP rifles in that $100 or less range. Is the Nitro pack the same on them all? Are you just paying for the different stocks and barrels? Thanks to anyone who knows. Nice review.
Crosman only makes 3 Nitro Pistons. The original NP, NP XL and NP2.
Is it true that a break barrel air rifle optimum length barrel is 10" ? After that the pellet slows down ?
That's the Minimum length. I think Optimum is 15". Anything longer can drag the pellet speed down.
nice video nice rifle
Hey Kenny great vid! Awesome mod tip Ill definitely keep it in mind. Quick question, Im looking for a .22 cal with good power and accuracy for around $99. What would be you go to best bang for your buck .22 cal breakbarrel??
Crosman Shockwave $99.99
myairgunreviews Thank you sir!
do you bench fire on your accuracy tests? or do you artillery hold?
From the shooting bench you se me sitting on in the video.
An excellent review Kenny. I thoroughly enjoyed it! My question is why did you want to sand down such an attractive looking stock?
HarryWebb46 he wants to make the stock look even nicer.
Unless I was properly trained I wouldn't attempt it. I have seen several stocks revarnished and none of them were really that well done. The factory will use professional sprayers which is why it's almost impossible to improve with a home kit style.
I have the Crosman Fury NP and it's a more accurate rifle than my shot capabilities. I like the gun a lot. Question- what shot count do you recommend oil in the combustion chamber?
1000
I have tried both Crosman trigger fixes, thanks to and the instructive video. I prefer the longer adjusting screw fix.
The Crosman Vantage np AND the Ruger Air Hawk EliteII>>>>>would you say they are "equal"???
The Ruger is better out of the Box without having to do anything to it.
Thanks for your comments......I consider you to be my "expert" on air rifles!
Hey Kenny, would you pick the vantage or the shockwave ? Thanks Dave.
I like wood stocks.
OK, but if both had wood stocks ?
MestizoJump Boots. Can you tell me why ? Thanks.
Mr Kenny will you please do a review on the stoeger X20 S2..ThANK YOU..
ruclips.net/video/szrdcfPjpCY/видео.html The S2 is just a little more quiet (They Claim.
I'm new to using airguns. This looks like good one for shooting varmints. I can't determine what scope you used. Would you mind spelling it out?
UTG 4x32
Leapers 4x32
hello would u say this is the best rifle u can by for £150 I'm in uk so I can only have 12fps.I wish I had seen your channel before in brought the remington xp tactical it's so loud love the channel by the way hope u can help
Once you upgrade the scope and fix the trigger.
Which is the best pellet for crosman vantage???pls reply
H&N Crow Magnum, H&N Baracuda & Baracuda Match all shot good.
I am Bangladeshi so how to process buy NP air rifle?please ans?
Try Crosman 7.9 and predator polymags
I acquired one of these guns for free and looking forward to shooting it. What is the kill distance on this gun? I know it is 1200fps with alloy, but looking for a kill distance
Depends upon the prey. 15 to 50 yards.
Ok great, thanks, i was guessing in that area, thanks for the review, Subscribed
With those Super mags that gun is only 1 FPE less than a NP2 .177
just checked at airgun depot the .22 is only 100 bucks I am thinking about it get one.
That one comes without a scope, but that's a good thing.
lol yeah I thought the same, thumbs up on your review
Oh btw which grain#???
Those pellets only come in one Grain each. The Baracuda Match was a 4.53mm Head.
Kenny you should tell people about bigsupplyshop.com ther cheaper than wal-mart 67.99 for this gun . you told me about it and i don't shop for air guns anywhere else. they have everything.
Big Supply Shop sells this gun for $90.20 PLUS Shipping. I tell people about them whenever I buy one from them. I will also mention Bud's Gun Shop and even Cheaper Than Dirt when they are the lowest.
is this the model CR-30021?
