LOL, you people are great! Day three of my decision to quit smoking and to save up for a Marauder, so far I haven’t gone cold turkey yet but have cut down to 3-4 cigs a day to avoid huge withdraws. Please note that 3-4 is A LOT for me as I’ve already been having cold sweats at night with chest pains in the mornings. I’m on my “last” pack that hopefully is my last that I’ll ever buy. The longest I’ve ever gone without nicotine in my body is probably about 10 hours in the last 15-20 or so years. So this could be huge for me and all the support to keep me motivated is greatly appreciated.
I’m starting a new post for this topic, it is a continuation to another post I started linked here. http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php/topic,28767.0.htmlI GIVE UP on you Crosman! This is my third Nitro Venom Dusk and the quality between each one is considerable noticeable. I have tried everything possible next to completely tearing your rifle down and rebuild it. I have spent countless hours reading, watching and learning, I’ve pulled up almost every since link on the whole entire internet. Yes, I’m mad and frustrated, I’ve spent over a month trying to make your rifles work. I’m not asking for much, just a decent shooting rifle that is reliable for one to go hunting or plucking with. You have taken something that was supposed to be fun and relaxing then turned it into a nightmare of aggravation. You have ruined this sport for me.For those who have been following my progress with my Crosman Nitro Venom dusks, I finished grinding though the 500 rounds for break in. Today the weather was perfect so I decided to go out again, my shots got progressively worse and worse, just like the previous Nitro Venom rifles that I had returned. Again I tried everything to fix the issue form remounting the scope, tighten all screws, cleaning barrel with dry patches. I’ve already spent over $60 in different pellet types and bought special bore cleaner, new scope, GTR III trigger and brushes to cleaning. My groups are now so bad that it looks like I sprayed the target with a shotgun. Honestly I didn’t think the rifle could cause me such a headache, I’ve read bad reviews, but thought I’d be able to fix it, but not with these rifles. I should not have to void my warranty stripping it apart and rebuilding it for it to shoot decent. This is ridiculous and don’t blame the Chinese manufacturer for ones failure to require quality control, I own my own company that manufactures our products in China and when it come to quality it’s “MY” job to ensure everything meets specifications. If something does not meet my satisfaction they (China) will change it till it does, they just build what they are told to and will change everything from type of material to quality of work if and when told to. China does make a few great products and a lot of bad ones, but 99% of the bad are only because of our corporate greed and laziness to make the fastest buck possible. Sorry and thanks for listening to my ranting, I’m just going to print out my return labels then relax for the rest of my weekend. Once I steam off a bit I might start looking into a new rifle.My Crosman Nitro Venom Dust, I didn't know these rifles can outline a star map.
Hey Chip,Glad to hear you’re having a good experience with your Venom. I say it’s a gamble when buying these rifles, I’ve read some good and bad reviews about them. Personally I just have bad luck and after three attempts I gave up. No one problem was the same with the rifle which leads me to think its poor quality control. The last Venom was shooting ½ to 3/4 inch groups at 25 yards until the seal started breaking around the 300th shot. With everything I’ve learned in this forum I’m sure one can make them shoot nicely, but only after being gutted and tuned. From the looks of it you have a large collection of AR’s and would know your way around them very well. Me, I’m just looking for the “one” gun that I can grab and shoot without worrying about its reliability.
