Frequently Asked Questions
What type of pellets work best in the Crosman Optimus .177?
The Optimus performs well with a wide range of .177 caliber pellets. Lightweight alloy pellets maximize velocity at up to 1,200 fps and are great for flat-shooting plinking, while heavier lead dome or hunting pellets in the 7–10 grain range deliver better downrange energy and accuracy for small-game use and pest control. Experimenting with a few brands is the best way to find your rifle's preferred load.
Does the included CenterPoint 4x32mm scope hold zero reliably?
Yes — the CenterPoint 4x32mm scope included with the Optimus is specifically designed to handle the unique double-recoil impulse of spring-piston air rifles, which can damage scopes built for firearms. It mounts to the rifle's dovetail rail and holds zero well under normal shooting conditions. If you ever want to upgrade, any 11mm dovetail-compatible airgun scope will fit the Optimus.
Is the Crosman Optimus suitable for hunting small game or pest control?
Absolutely. With velocities approaching 950 fps using lead pellets, the Optimus generates sufficient energy for ethical harvesting of small game such as squirrels and rabbits, as well as effective pest control against birds and rodents at typical backyard ranges. Always confirm local regulations regarding air rifle hunting in your area before heading afield, and select heavier, expanding pellets for the best terminal performance.
