Beni Maximus Euro .177.

[Monkeydad1969]

So I got one and received it this past Monday.  Nice LOP.  Threaded barrel adapter is a very nice touch.  It has a grub screw on it, but I can't remove it, so may be pressed on or adhered.  I love the silver safety.  So far it has held air for over 48hrs.  Here are some pics.  Tried to get a good pic of the crown, sorry about the quality.  I will chrony tomorrow, but I have shot it from a full fill down to just empty, and it is not getting up to 65 shots.  One thing, I noticed oil coming from under the breech at the TP.  It passed the tissue test, so once I get some time with it, I will take it apart.  I will be doing my tests with the LDC.  That is the reason we are buying it, for the ability to use an LDC, plus the price point.

Looks like a nice gun, has it got the "Power adjustment screw" on the side like Marauder?

OK, so where did you get the Euro version from? How does it compare price wise to the standard Maximus?

They are listed on Crosman's website. Last I looked they were out of stock, but that was a couple a months ago.

I was looking REALLY close at this rifle and found on this Maximus YouTube review a 20% off coupon that works on the Crosman e-store:



So that discount put the price of the Starter Kit (which also comes with a pump and a few other things) at about $280.  And if you only wanted the rifle it would be about $176!

AFAIK, if you order from Crosman on Friday shipping is free too!

What is the thread size on the end of the barrel?

Standard 1/2" x 20 AFAIK.

Just got home and looked on Crosman's site, Maximus Euro models in .177 and .22 are in stock again and are the exact same price as the standard Maximus at $219.

You realize, of course, that this is a 12 FPE gun. The standard Maximus is more like 20 FPE. I have mine tuned down a bit to about 16 FPE.
redbull 72, There is no velocity adjustment. If you want to change velocity, you need to open up the gun and change things like the hammer spring, transfer port, and possibly the valve (Euro seems like it might be quite restricted somewhere).

That is the attraction...12 foot pounds just seems "right" for a lot of .177 shooters.

For springers, anyway.

Yes, are back in stock.  Prices are the same on Crosman---which is the only company to get the different versions from.  They also offer a Hunter version, comes with scope.

Also, don't think it's 12fpe.  Seems to be hitting a little hard.  I will chrony tomorrow.

"Also, don't think it's 12fpe.  Seems to be hitting a little hard.  I will chrony tomorrow."
That's the main reason why it's the Euro version. To comply with European 12 FPE power limits!
From the Crosman site  "Shot count in a PCP has a new name: Maximus Euro. Tuned to the European 12 foot pound standard (800 FPS), the Maximus Euro delivers up to an astounding 65 shots per fill!"

Maybe MonkeyDad could confirm?
