Some Crosman products are made in China, others not.
I think all the Springers are made in China.

I bet the device you just posted that with was made in China too.

Several Crosman guns are made in China.
The Quest is one of them.

Thanks for answers guys.
Does that mean Quest will ''fall apart'' or break in short time,or will they last long or would you rather recomend Hatsan?

I don't have a lot of experience with newer air rifles, or springers,,,  BUT, I do think Hatsans are good rifles & a lot of rifle for the money ! I also like that Hatsans tests their rifles with lead pellets & their claims of FPS, are darn close. I have seen other manufacturers claim 1000 fps, & you only got 750 with them using lead pellets.

I am a Hatsan Fan Boy. Having admitted that? I still have several Crosmans including the Quest 1000x and NP2.
I actually have more Crosmans then Hatsan's if you count the CO2's and pumpers.
I drop the money into the Hatsan's though.

So,you recoment Hatsan 60 over Crosman Quest 800x?

i got a hatsan 1000x wood stock its pretty accurate with hatsan pellets but stock is c rap it split once on me. it scratches up easy. i get 1 inch groups at 30 yards but the screws go loose alot. not bad for 100 bucks.

I prefer wood stocks
If Hatsan offered more I would buy more.
I think the vortex is a better ram.

Crosman states "Built in the USA"  Key word BUILT

My recently bought-2 months old-1377 BOX says
Made In USA  From Globally Sourced Components
So USA workers do assemble them
and my 1377 is a real bargain for $55 delivered
With a adjustable sear spring-it is a good shooter-
I will polish the sear soon-and it will be better still
So I would favor crosman over HATSAN just for the USA assembly
but I have a RWS 460 also-$360 and I HOPE all german parts-but who knows.

Economically they couldn't offer the guns at the prices they do if they where made in the US, .....you have to take one or the other.

I got a bunch of Hatsans and other guns made by Hatsan. I've also got two old pawn shop Crosman Storm XT's. Like a Vantage or Optimus or B19. Also got a Swiss Arms Wood Thumb Hole Classic that's identical to the Crosmans. ($54 at dpciwholesale.com).

I love my Hatsans but the Crosman like guns will take a GRTIII trigger. Got one in one of the Storms and my Silent Cat. That ain't nothing but sweet.

The big Hatsans are what they are. Heavy, good looking cannons and I love shooting them. Hatsan sales alot of guns but if the had a trigger like the GRT or the German triggers they'd sale like Krispy  Creme donuts.
