I nearly felt like a little kid on Christmas when I found out that Crosman was coming out with a sub-$200 .22 PCP air gun until I read the stats. 900 FPS and single-fire bolt action? That's only about 50 FPS better than their $150 break barrel version (which includes a scope, I don't think the Maximus does and the Maximus requires an additional expensive pump). I understand the improvement of time not having to cock the rifle but that alone isn't enough for me to save up for one. Maybe the accuracy is better, or there is another advantage that I have not considered?
Either way its a change in the right direction (prices coming down) and although I have to pass on getting one, it's nice to know its an option.
