just got in the prowler .177 cal the rifle is great quality everything is tight and no flaws nothing makes noise when u shake it as hard as u can. don't know why people say the scope that comes with it is junk and doesn't hold zero because mine does and only shot 20 pellets through it so far.power is amazing from the nitro piston to my surprise it shoot's right through 2 1 inch thick phone books at 20 feet with crosman competition wad cutters and show no signs of slowing down. that's the longest shot i have indoors it raining out right know.i think the problem that people have with the scope is they don't tighten the mounts good enough and it states in manual it takes 250 round to break barrel in and till then u will not have good accuracy with it but mine seems to shoot greet at 20 feet that's what suprized me it shoots through the same hole every shot.i'm a nob to high power air rifles must be why i'm surprised with the amount of power it has.reciol is pretty high though has more kick than my 22lr. noise level is quite wish i had a chronograph to see what it is shooting but seen many say it shoots 980fps with 7.9 gr pellets witch i think is true from what i see.can't wait to get out this sat and sun to sight it in since i'm new to air rifles is 20-25yds sight in a good distance or should it be sighted in closer.

First off, congrats on the new gun! Secondly, make sure that you clean that barrel with goo gone and patches real good before you go to zero it! Then ensure that all your screws and your pivot point are tight.
I would say that 20 Yards is a good place to start out. If you are not on paper there, come back to 10 yards, make adjustments and then move back out when you feel comfortable.

update got my crosman destroyer rounds in and man are they accurate out of the prowler getting under 1/8th inch groups at 20 yards look out squirrels.also did a trigger mod took off the first stage and took out the adjusting screw very light smooth pull and i shortened the pull considerably but safety still works just awesome this gun is replacing my marlin 795 22lr.

Just joined the site. I have a Prolwer as well and I find that 7.9gr. hollow point to be as good as the destroyers. Have you tried the 10.5 ultra from Crosman? I had poor grouping with them.
