In desparartion I got out my M-rod .25 cal and fired off 8 rounds Baracuda Hunter Extreme  28.4.  I am getting ready to get a couple of Raccoons and a Possom cat food stealer.  I think this will do the job.



No I don't think it was me.  II would like to see more accuracy out of the Rebel.  I think I did better with oppen sights off hand.  I tried a different Scope but got the same results.  Tomorrow I will put the Open sights back on and try again.  It is possable the composite breech is causing some problems.

II also discovered that Crosman CPHP 7.6 Gr in the tin  and Crosman CP Domed 10.5 Gr in the box will not go into the chamber and/or will not let the bolt close. 

Head Dia of pellets

Gamo Tomahawk   0.1765

Crosman Premier Box  0.1780

Crosman Premier Tin 0.1780

So Far I am Not liking the accuracy I am going to clean the bore again tomorrow and try with open sights again on bench rest.


EDIT  Added 9/25/12----  Sent email to AOA inquiring about the accuracy of this rifle, included the links to this review.  Received a response to email stating they are getting 3/4" groups at 20 yards indoor range open sights with JSB Exact RS pellets.  As I don't have JSB Exsact RS pellets I ordered some on a 2 day shipment.  Will give results when I can try them out.
