Birdmove, thanks for the heads up on the Maximus. I am intrigued. I am not sure what the problem is with the NPXL 1100. While I am sure that it could be my aim, I doubt it because I do better with another spring rifle. That and the problem seems to be getting progressively worse. The rifle seems to group for a few shots then I get an outrageous flyer that misses the 3" target entirely from less than 20 yards.
As for the Maximus I read that a combo deal with a pump would be $350. I strongly suspect that the problem with the NPXL is related to the break barrel pivot or just generally to the recoil. Just because I got a new scope doesn't mean that THAT one wasn't bed too and the problems with scopes are usually related to harsh recoil. Anyway the PCP won't have the pivot point or the recoil. I have been tempted by the various 2260 versions of CO2 gun for all the reasons previously given and figure that the Maximus would be a step up so I will be watching closely.
I emailed the Crosman people last night and figured I would hear back from them today but no response which is weird. When I contacted them about the scope they immediately sent back an email just to let me know they got mine. Later an actual person got in touch with me. I would actually be OK with sending them the whole gun for them to fix as long as it doesn't cost me too much but I figure it's on them. They way the gun is operating now is not what they advertised.
