Those of you who didn't know, Kenny passed away some time back. I am really missing his honest no bs reviews. Rest in peace, Kenny.
Thanks for posting this, I didn’t know, I’m assuming cancer as I seen someone referring him to a site that had info on curing/treating cancer. My sister just passed from an aggressive type of lung cancer, so reading this about this man, Kenny, is very sad news. This was the only video I’ve watched that was his, as I was watching it I was hoping there were others. He did produce very informative reviews, such a shame he was taken too soon I’m sure. If he had family I offer my condolences to them and anyone his passing affected.
I'm very saddened! I really enjoyed his shows.I saw where he passed awhile back.it is truly a shame.He's in a better place and not suffering! Be happy :)
Sorry to hear he was a good man I liked his revues RIP Mr Kenny !!
RIP
That's a shame, his reviews were always very well done and helpful.
The rifle arrived today and I dialed in the scope just a couple hours ago czcams.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL . I haven’t shot with a scope in probably 25 years. The X on the left was my target. (the shot almost in the bullseye on the right X was my father in laws first shot after I made adjustments) The two shots circled are my first 2 shots. Then I brought it down - shot once. Then brought it over to the left. From there zeroed it in to dead center. This all was from 25 yards out. Follow instructions carefully when mounting the scope. So far I'm very happy with the purchase.
no one does it like you my ol friend ,RIP ,its not the same without you buddy !!! GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY !!!!
Bought one last year, took a good 400 rounds to get it broke in, switch to a 3x9x40 utg mil dot scope, at 95 yards shoots pop cans off the fence post. Now this gun took a lot of patience to get close to zero at 50 yards, I shoot all kinds of pellets in 22 cal. The best was the 14.3 grams crossman premier doom pellets. Very nice rifle, looks great and feels right, price was right also. Thxs
95 yards?did u measure that distance with a yard stick?
@@TierNone_LarperatoR Which gun are you talking about that you purchased?
DOOM pellets_ love it! They are most certainly a DOOM for most nuisance birds I kill using them in my SWARM rifle!!!
Thanks for the smile there, buddy! And these pellets are a TON better than a lot folks will tell ya.
I just bought this gun from my local Walmart and I really like it, it has nice power and looks great for the price point. I have had BB rifles for camping and plinking beer cans while camping with friends and I’ve used it for pest control eliminating roof rats at my home. I got this to replace an old Crosman pump BB rifle that had poor power and terrible accuracy, but it was super cheap and it did its job for plinking cans. I gave that Crosman to my friends young son who is now old enough to have a BB rifle to start his plinking journey with his father while camping. I’ve never been big into air rifles and this is my first “good” gun for what I am using it for and it has great power to put down the roof rats which the Crosman pump BB rifle didn’t, so I am pretty happy with my purchase because it wasn’t expensive and it does it’s job well. I can’t wait to take it camping and test it’s accuracy and power more at different ranges.
Great breakdown of the rifle, you really go into detail and this video is great for real air rifle enthusiasts. Great job! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I recently purchased one and it is a tack driver at 30 yds. Round off the edges of the trigger and check that the breech seal protrudes slightly as mine didn't. I shimmed the seal and gun now has more power.
Watching this review brings back some great memories, my friend. A ton of us truly miss you fussing about your 'GAMO' experiences... :-)
May your forever being with the BEYOND be peaceful and calm for you.

I'm sorry to hear he has passed away this was a wonderful review I just bought one of these guns and needed to know as much as I could about it and he really helps a lot
Yea he never made bs reviews and was really honest wasn’t afraid to talk bad about the rifles because he bought them himself really missing him not much air gun reviewers like him around .
I bought one a couple of years ago. It’s been a great rifle, really enjoy it.
It's sad to see you gone Kenny 😔 you're in a better place now ♥️ but we miss you here
How can a hole be a better place....please stop saying that people
@@Alberto-gu3ub yeah I known people like you too so 🤫 respect for the rights of others is peace.
I was going to comment yet because the comment before mine hurt my heart. To this gentleman's family I can only say I'm sorry for your loss, Jesus loves you. DB
Have over 1000 pellets through mine extremely accurate
Have you shot slugs through yours
I must've got a good one. I hit soda caps at 20 yds with CPHP all day. If I miss, it's my mistake. Cant fault the rifle or pellets. It's a ton of fun and hits hard.
6:04 is a FPS spreadsheet.
Sorry, long post: Just bought one for me and my son. My first air pellet rifle in over 30yrs. Not much info on this one like mentioned. Terrible trigger out the box, but changed the panhead adjustment screw for a longer one and it helped. I hope it smooths out with more shots. Had to tighten and apply blue lock to all screws and shim the seal. Scope is junk in my opion and i changed it. Ive been bitten by the bug now. Thank you sir for your reviews. You seem like a straight shooter. I hope your health is getting better. Keep the reviews coming oldtimer. Thanks again God bless
Kenny thanks for all your contribution to the,air gun industry, GOD bless your health!
Kenny passed away in Aug 2018.
Finally got it sighted in at 12 yds 6 shots all in the red. Crossman premier hollow points 14.3 grains.
My condolences. I just started watching his vids.
I purchased this yesterday. After shooting 200 superpoint .22 pellets, I have it sighted with original scope to do a 3 inch bunching at 75 yards. Scope is a pain in the a**, and not worth the time if you have a second to use. Good power. Will be trying differenf pellets soon. Overall great value.
What is really cool is I bought a END RUN springer deleted model Ruger Impact with the 5 post front optic sights instead of the 3 post. I just added a couple breech seal shims, the scope off my Benji Trail NP2 and I love shooting both my .22 rifles. Opposites,,,
i should definitely have said thank you for this review - have been scouring the internet every day for a while waiting for SOMEone to make a vid on the "impact MAX" which is very different than the "impact" THANKS!
I bought an impact max and I am extremely pleased with the gun. In contrast to the swarm maxxim I found the impact rifle to be accurate and plenty powerful. good gun . The accuracy was far superior to the swarm as well as consistency! !
Kenny Tim here it's good to see you're back my friend I hope you're feeling better as always another good review we all thank you
Thanks for the great review. Noticed a comment indicates this guy may have passed away? If so then happy trails partner and we'll see you back at the ranch. I bought this gun at Walmart a few days ago and couldn't be more pleased. The fit and finish is really top-notch especially at this price, nice looking gun. I was shocked at the accuracy shooting bull's-eyes right out of the box even got a couple at about 200 ft. Using Crosman premier hollow point. Before shooting it I cleaned the barrel with some cotton patches and hoppe's number 9. Barrel was very dirty inside from the factory which could affect your accuracy. Definitely shoots harder than the Benjamin prowler which I also have and (which no longer shoots accurately seems to have a piston problem). As much as I like the Prowler for the heavy composite stock, although I did replace the plastic muzzle brake with a nice metal one, the Prowler was never as accurate as this Ruger. I have cleaned the prowler tightened all the bolts and it is still shooting a 1 foot spread at 30 ft like a shotgun.. definitely something wrong with it going to send it into Crosman. Very pleased with the Ruger impact Max it is a very well-made air rifle at any price. The scope was not that great put on a better scope and had its zeroed within a few shots. The trigger pull is stiff, but very crisp and with a predictable break, have not tried adjusting it but really isn't an issue. the Benjamin Regal 2 that I have is just as accurate but much smoother trigger pull and release, however it was $100 more. I will say the Ruger seems slightly more powerful though and maybe a bit more stable to hold because the stock is more of a square shape. The sound suppressor works very well, you only hear the piston when you fire. Air gun accuracy is kind of a mysterious thing and I noticed that it can vary from one day to the next without anything being different about the gun. A lot of it is the shooter believe it or not, eg. How you are holding the rifle, breathing and your concentration on the day. With the Ruger impact Max as with the Benjamin Regal 2 the rifles will be as accurate as the shooter. Maybe some people have experienced quality control issues or they just need to clean the barrel first. I did not try shooting the rifle before cleaning the barrel so I don't know if that might have been an issue. of course make sure to run patches through the barrel until there is no oil or you will have dieseling. Highly recommended and a nice addition to anyone's collection. My .02
Kenny did pass away after a long fight with cancer. RIP Mr. Kormandy.
Sorry to hear. I don't believe this life is the end, our soul goes on. Even so this world lost a good man, and the next world gained. Safe travels pard, and keep your powder dry.
Yes. He did pass away.
Good video. It's making me want to get this pellet rifle for my birthday.
I agree with everything you said! To add to that, the scope that came with mine had the elevation and windage adjustments backwards. The top adjustment says left and the side adjust. Says up! I eventually figured it out and zeroed.
I had a hell of a time with that trigger. Trigger pull is so hard I kept pulling the gun to the side every time I pulled the trigger,and I just couldn't get good groups. maybe because I'm new at this. But as soon as I took the trigger apart and replaced the spring with a much,much lighter spring from a pen the trigger pull was so much better. Very light and crisp.and my groups got really good. The pen spring was way longer,so I cut it but still left it a little longer than the original spring because it was so much lighter of a spring than the original I didn't want the trigger to be too light. It turned out perfectly
Ya did good there, Jason. WTG! :-)
I got mine yesterday and shot my first possum the same day 😊
Thanks for your reviews, Sir.
I just got one of these guns ( .22 impact max ) last week and I love it and right out of the box at 40 yards it shot good with the crosman hallow points ( 14 . 3 ) and the group is great and that's with open sights I never put the scopes that comes with the guns I go out and buy a new scope for my pellet guns and for the trigger is fine love the gun
My buddy bought one a couple days ago and he loves it, i'm getting one this afternoon (4/22/18). Rain forecasted for the next few days but maybe i'll set up a little range in the walkway above my garage (110ft). I'll come back with how I did.
I have the regular impact .22 and I love it.
A needle file will smooth. The cuts on the trigger a sling I made mine fit a single point sling like an army set up an add on cheek rest helps in cheek alignment I also put a spacer behind the o ring seal mine gun the ring was flush with the barrel seat I used a lid from a butter lid now way to measure the thickness but now the ring is just right makes a good seal and increased power accuracy also increased hope this helps
And I adjusted for first stage trigger and it was considerably better and I bought a 3x9-32 Barska scope and it made the difference. Eyesmoke on rabbit at 25 yds.
I just purchase the ruger impact max trigger pull its way to stiff hard to pull i ended up changing the spring to a softer one that i took out of a pen better now trigger pull very soft now but there's no 2nd stage unless i change the screw to a larger one and one other thing the seal piston was damage i end up calling umarex told the problem with the seal and they were very kind on sending a spare one now my impact its very accurate i love it thanls kenny for your video keep up
You deserve my subscription sir!!! Just because I appreciate your true and im sure accurate information/specs unlike Ruger and thier over compensated stats. Cheers
I bought it. Love it. Very accurate shooting cheap Crosman premier hollow points. The trigger was TERRIBLE out of the box.....like a crunchy 12 lb trigger pull. I replaced the trigger adjustment screw which removed most of the crunchiness, & shortened the first stage of trigger pull, & reduced the second stage trigger pull a tad. Not happy yet with the trigger I disassembled the trigger assembly and polished the mating surfaces & cut 1 loop off the sear spring. This reduced the second stage trigger pull by @ 1/2 and removed all the crunch in the trigger action.
dave - you can go in and replace the sear spring with a lighter one for $0.50. Mine now has a consistent 1.5 lb pull. no misfires even if bumped very hard. Really nice now.
I know this was 10 months ago, but David lee, can you please elaborate on exactly how you achieved this 1.5 pound trigger pull?
Never mind, as you have already provided that info further down in the comments David Lee, thanks going to try it now.
seems to fire nicely for me and the trigger didnt seem to fatigue my finger but that is because the gun broke after about ten shots some internal piece snapped and there was rattling inside until then i was very satisfied. i swapped it at wal mart for a new one, but havent yet had a chance to test. i hope for better results!
czcams.com/video/Zl8ju90R7Tk/video.html video of what broke
Kenny,
I enjoy your reviews.
You don't beat around the bush, you give it to us straight.
If you happen to run across a Slavia 634, I would like to
hear your expert opinion.
Thanks
I was shooting mine 50 yards and was hitting the target I like the trigger but I'm not snobby about trigger pull i believe it's a great trigger pull for hunters
Thank you I'm going to pull the trigger on this one!
I just got this one ruger impact max
Ruger Impact is discontinued. I got a late one with a 5 post instead of 3 post front sight bridge like above. VERY HAPPY!!
i have taken mine on two camping trips for some accuracy tests in the field - I have literally dropped this gun and it will shoot a dime at 50 yards, just the same as when i took it out of the box, both with open sights and the included scope. STOCK HEX SCREWS MUST BE TIGHTENED SIGNIFICANTLY after first several uses. THIS is noted in the instructions, and makes all the difference in the inconsistency that this video is stuck on. The Trigger pull is different then i'm used to, but has not been a problem. I have the Elite II as well, and love both, but this is an amazing upgrade. Perhaps the quality control is off? I would highly recommend this air rifle.
I recently purchased .22 Impact (refurbished?) off Ebay for about $100. Love the look. First one arrived and I noticed the stock was cracked - suspect someone tightened mounting screw down to tight. I received full refund immediately and re-ordered. I have been happy with it. I'm not used to scopes and this one seems a little cheesy, so I took it off - I did look up the scope online as if I were to purchase it separately and the price was more than I bought the gun and scope together. I'm fairly good at using the sight, and once I adjusted have fairly consistent groups using a variety (mostly cheep chinese) pellets. Usually get within a quarters diameter on two of 8 shots with the rest spread out about 4" from center. I find I tend to shoot left a tad - this gun has more recoil than my AR-15. I don't mind cocking force, but my GFs son has a hard time, needing to put stock on knee to break the gun open. I may have the older style trigger and safety is push-in behind the barrel assy. Trigger pull is tight but I guess I'm not that picky. Did serious impact damage to a steel light post I've shot previously with .177 air guns that barely leave a scratch - this thing puts a deep pock mark at 100'. Note - not shooting at this post anymore as my AR-15 went straight thru. Great air-rifle for the price.
Rest easy Kenny!
Crossman seems to be setting the bar I have this rifle and a Gamo mag several Crossman and Crossman is the best pistols n rifles
To get a better grip on the stock grip stock mark where your fingers wrap around the stock uses course sand paper to remove the wood between the marks do the same for your thumb keep checking the grip when it feels comfortable finish with a fine paper to smooth the grooves restain to match color about thirty minutes to do the work keep checking your work that way you get a more inline site and should make your groups better don't forget the web between thumb and for finger
This gun is a great gun
Thought about buying this model today at walmart. Then, i decided to do a little research and led me here. Should purchase and what gas and pellets do you recommend. Sad to say, but i might have to use this for self defense if world goes to hell...
It is extraordinarily naive to think that you could use a break barrel air rifle for a self defense weapon, if "the world goes to hell": that would be suicidal. For self defense, it is best to consider a semiautomatic firearm, such as an AR 15, or a shotgun. If recoil frightens you, get a real Ruger 10/22,. A rifle in 22lr is certainly better than a single fire air rifle, and .22lr is almost universally under appreciated for defense, as it could be plausibly adequate for defense if you were defending your home at a distance, against typical street thugs.
Hi Kenny, praying you are well! When I want to hear some truths about an air gun, I check to see if you have reviewed it. I also appreciate the honesty regarding any "shooter error" that you might have - nearly everyone has that too, but some reviewers like to pretend they don't!!
Thanks You kenny
I bought this a month ago. I couldn't get the scope accurate so I removed it. The optic sights are very good. Power wise I think it has a break in period. I've shot it maybe 50 times. Taken out a skunk with one shot.
Great video i just bought one the exact same one i cant use until its christmas it is my gift but i just wanna look how great it is and this video is very informative thank you also where could i find one of those you have the rifle thats stands up like the one with the 2 legs (sorry i dont know whats called)Thanks and have a great day!
Jaciel Holguin Chavez looks like a Hatsan 135 kind of 🤷🏻♂️ I know this is that I also own this rifle along with many others . Let me tell you this hits just as hard or better than my Diana 34 from 2017 with that being said it’s awesome & fun too shoot. Remember safety is no accident . Crosman Piranha works well very accurate
Your gonna love it. It's my favorite break barrel now.
You’ll enjoy it haha
God bless you 🙏Kenny.
Mine is doing the same thing. I'm using Gamo pellets with the steel BB. In the tip. Im certain I'm dead solid on target with sand bags. I will shoot five inside a dime. The next five I might keep 4 inside the bottom round part of a soda can. I do not like the trigger pull. Makes me think of my SKS. I do like it though. Its fun cheap anx accurate. It has already removed a couple feral cats that have destroyed our rabbits locally. Im thinking that the alignment between the scope and barrel is not always returning to the same place. Other times it does. One thing I do know is that my dad has a Crossman 2100 that is 30 years old and It is far more accurate. If you bench it it shoots consistent half inch groups. I wish they made a 22.
First of all,,,do not use gamo pellets,,,,do not tight grip it,,,tighten all screws an clean barrel,,,,,,at 20yds I shoot bottle caps an ink pens
Hey Kenneth which is the best between umarex/Ruger and Benjamin? Thank you for all your research and videos
Hi Kenny
I bought this very same rifle and after about the first 200 rounds it was shooting a 1" group at 25 yes with crossman 14.3 hollow points then I tried the Gamo Rocket in .22 cal and I was shooting the same hole at the same distance
TBL Travels larry those pellets you mentioned are the same weight, 14.3 grains. I used and tested both. The cool thing about gamo rockets .22's is they can penetrate steel sheet metal.
Chris Gentry 😳😳😲😲😲
Love my impact no trigger issue hard hitting accurate scope. broke in nicely great video
I tightened the adjustable trigger down to its maximum, this eliminates most of the free travel and slightly lessens the amount of force it takes to shoot the rifle, my complaint thus far is the difference between different distances, sighted dead on at 30 yards equals low and right at 45 yards, I elected to sight it dead on at 45 yards and just aim low and slightly left at 30 yards. Alloy pellets seem to be hard to find in my area, I’m going to order some and see if accuracy improves, I’m new to air rifles and was looking for some good sound advice on cleaning the rifle, thus far I’ve only wiped down the outside of the rifle, I seen videos saying don’t clean them and I’ve seen videos saying clean after each 200 shots so I’m not sure which way to go on that one, as you said I think the rifle is capable of great accuracy, I just wish I could figure out its combination.
I found it better taking the screw out
Thank you, I will give that a try, I’m toying with the idea of disassembling the assembly and polishing the proper spots to lighten that pull, I’m not sure of my skills in that regard though. It looks totally doable , so maybe. I found a unique use for it, I sighted in the open sights, then removed the scope mounding rail that came on the rifle. Then put an Axeon red dot right on to the barrel and adjusted the dot to land right on the front sight. It turned out to be a very useful rifle for teaching my grandkids to use open sights, they get that scope experience they prefer so much, lol, but fooled into getting used to a proper open site picture.Thanks so much for the making the screw comment, I’m going to try it now!
Trigger is adjustable and replace scope with something quality. Have a one pound trigger and a 1” group at 55 yards. 14 gram pellets
Josh Law
What scope do you recommend
The Ruger Max Elite (in my own humble opinion) was built for killing squirrels at exactly 40 yards. For some reason, this gun under-performs at shorter distances- but that’s just my own personal experience. After some experimentation with distance, I sighted in their provided scope at precisely 40 yds and have had no problems hitting 1 1/2” groups of 5 with standard .22 Premier pellets. It’s a good gun.
P.S.- Yes, I know what happened to Kenny, y’all.
I have this gun and IAM having hard time sighting in my rws was easy to sight in
hello brother from minnesota i hope your doing well. I just picked up this air rifle and i cant wait to shoot it. the wood is very nice its got a good feel and i love the weight of it. the trigger is very smooth on mine. i think it comes down to the person that assembled it good day or bad day at work. 149$ with tax 09/09/18. i thought itd be a bit cheaper a year later but honestly its a good solid price for a 22. i have also a 177 silent cat and i love that too which i bought at walmart for 65$ in 2017. it was a broken box so maybe thats why. but guys check walmarts or dicks or cabelas for a good one and do research. im glad i came across the silent cat for so cheap.
I just bought this Ruger, Trigger very crunchy. Shot 25 rounds with Gamo Red fire. Took a few rounds to get center, and get the scope to bring my shots up, but once I got centered the Red Fires destroyed the red zone at 25yrds. The trigger is a beast and defiantly hurts the Ruger Impact Max,as they say learn you trigger, I did back it all the way down, still a monster. A little smaller grip would be a plus.
Wow! Interesting, Kenny. I reckon it would be worth installing a custom trigger on that rifle! You would then have a very decent bit of kit for under $200.
I am looking for an inexpensive .22 caliber springer for squirrel hunting. Quieter would be better. Could you recommend a "best buy." I would add a scope myself as I like larger scopes than come standard.
Having trouble putting trigger back together and in gun
What is a good scope for crossman F11 reifle please.
Always kiked and trusted Kenny's reviews. He was never trying to sell anything. If a gun is a piece of junk he said so. I'm thinking about fetting a Ruger Impact. I only trust Kenny's expertice.
I bought one that has same front sight as that one, but it has a behind cylinder safety.i think it's a spring piston though...low trigger weight...was debating on returning for the max...not so sure now
Sounds like it's the original Ruger Impact with the Spring Piston.
Well it's got decent power that's for sure the trigger doesn't pull hard kind of got to hang back when it comes to accuracy don't have any problems yeah you know walking with it too and it's not too terrible heavy 😂😁
This is my experience as well this rifle at 20yards is sketch at best. I threw the scope away it was non functional I guess because this rifle is everywhere!!!
I’m hitting 1 inch groups at 25 yards. Learn to shoot bud
can you do a video on how to smooth out the trigger pull? it feels like pulling a 10lb weight across rough concrete
I will get to that one hopefully in the near future. I'll post it on my Facebook page when I'm ready to do it
I don't do FB but i will watch for it here. Thank you very much!!!!!
James - just changed the sear spring for a lighter one that cost $0.40 at the hardware store. Mine now has a 1lb 4oz 2nd stage break that is repeatable. First time I ever took apart a springer so if I can do this, you can too.
I like the weight n it seems very balanced.....open sights r ok. The scope is not for precise shooting
I like the open sights on it, I think the scope moves around a little, throwing off the accuracy. Using the open sights, the groups have been very consistent and tight (25 yards)
Very nice video Thankyou l.
And uhh uh uhhh.
CAN YOU GIVE A REVIEW WITH WEBLEY D-RAM GAS PISTON 22CAL.BREAK BARREL THANKS IN ADVANCE
Great news
I use Strick 9 rifle cleaning kit it seems to fire nicely
There is def something off with that gun. Could be something with the crown or in the barrel, or it could need cleaned. Additionally working that trigger to be light and crisp would make a huge difference.
Kenneth, do you have any suggestion for lightening the pull on this trigger? Mine needs 6.5 lbs of force to fire, and my similar Umarex Forge needs 7.5 lbs. (I think they are the same trigger - looks like it). I've rounded the sharp tip on the screw behind the trigger - that actually lowered the pull to these numbers as it required even more force before that. But I'd like to get it at least down to 5 lbs or even below that. Any advice? Thanks. And thanks for your *great* vids.
Someone told me they replaced the trigger spring with the spring from a Ballpoint Pen.
Hi Kenneth, I just tried doing that. Took apart the trigger and there is a coil spring that controls the tension in the 2nd stage. Replaced it with a ballpoint pen spring. It fired once (definitely less than 3 lbs pull), but then wouldn't cock. I guess the spring I used was too light and it wasn't able to push the seer back up into position? It's the 1st time I ever disassembled a springer, so maybe what I'm saying is nonsense. Any advice? Just live with the 7.5# pull? Try another spring that is lighter than the original but stiffer than the pen? Thanks for your advice! And thanks for your vids.
I still have the gun. I guess I'll have to look at it.
Hi Kenny, just an update on my formerly 7.5# pull trigger. I finally got up the nerve and went in and replaced the sear spring with a lighter weight one. Now the trigger is beautiful - 8 oz for the 1st stage and 1lb 4oz for the 2nd stage break. Absolutely repeatable. Banged it around to make sure it wouldn't accidental fire. In case anyone else wants to do this, the spring I used is a 0.156 in OD, 0.016 wire diam, 1-inch long spring that I cut down to match the length of the OEM sear spring (about 0.6"). That spring is $0.40 at the local hardware store.
Umarex Forge, which only comes in .177, is pretty much the same gun, except it comes with the nucleus rail. Little bulky for carrying comfortably. Would be a 5 star rifle, trigger makes it a 2 star. Kenny, any info on a replacement?
Only a slight adjustment. It would seem that every trigger acts differently on the new TNT powered rifles.
Would this be good for bird hunting mostly maybe Grouse Ptarmigan duck I just don't know
Late here,but yes. Put a 3-9×40 hammers scope on it or UTG 3-9×32 bugbuster scope. Throw away the cheap scope that came with it or sell it and get a good scope above mentioned. It will bring out it's true accuracy. Also you might want to get the crosman premier pellet ammo for it.They seem to work good in these air rifles and won't slow it down too much. Also a trick I learned about this one,you can take out the little plastic pieces out of the silencer in the end of the barrel muffler and get a little more speed and power from it,slightly more sound but worth it.Also to keep this air rifle accurate you will need some loc tite blue glue and put a bunch on each bolt in the forearm of the stock and the 2 bolts that hold the trigger guard on. Because she puts power on the bolts from the wooden stock, these bolts come loose after 20 shots or less. Also you will need some 100% pure silicone oil such as crosman RMC silcone oil, put 2 drops in the piston chamber hole on the piston side little hole where you break the barrel.After 150 shots or so to keep your piston in great shape and lubricated!It will keep it accurate. And wear less. Ed The Professional Backyard Sniper Man😀😎✌
Between this one and the prowler witch is better??
prowler
If i were to buy one air pellet gun and on pump, bottom line, what two would be recommended?
Try the Gamo wildcat whisper or the Gamo fusion mach1 .22 or the Hatsan 125 sniper .22. Don't know your price range but these are some ideas from affordable to less affordable in order. These are highly credited air rifle choices. But you will have to purchase a good scope for best results. 3-9×40 hammers scope or a UTG 3-9×32 bugbuster scope. Ed The Professional Backyard Sniper Man😎✌👍
Reminds me of the Yukon.
How do I put a sling on the Impact Max??
I got the exact same one for Christmas and was wondering if a tasco rifle scope would be better then the one it comes with
Kenny passed away
I subscribed. The trigger when I did my first shot didn't fire and I had to break the barrel which was already cocked a few times. Its cheap but it works.
I bought one of these and commented here before. When is comes down to it , it’s a breakbarrel, a moving barrel in front and a scope on the back, I’ve never gotten one of them to group very good. Recently I’ve solved two problems with one hack if you will. I try to get my grandchildren to learn how to use open sights as I think it’s important that they do. They resist and want scope, scope scope. It occurred to me the open sights on the rifle are decent , so I took the scope off and sighted them in, I then got an Axeon red, green , blue dot scope from Wally World for around 40 and mounted it onto the rifle grooves(NOT THE RAIL THAT MAKES IT HIGHER, TAKE THAT OFF-IMPORTANT) then adjust the dot where it’s dead on bullseye with open sights sighted to 6 o’clock of the bulls eye. Now when they shoot the rifle they naturally get a proper sight picture of open sights and learned to use those sights to compensate when the dot seems a little off all on there own to my happy surprise. Using those sights viewed through the cheap red dot scope has made this a super fun practice pinker at my house. I just wanted to share and this was my favorite review of this rifle. My condolences this this mans family, he made very fine review videos, to say the least. I wish he could read all the nice comments I’ve seen here.
You can to adjust the tension on it
My area is Ky. refused to take back a Benjamin prowler with receipt no returns on airguns or fire arms..Lawrenceburg KY..

Very unusual...
What would you recommend...
Ruger Imapct Max .22
Benjamin Titan Np
Gamo Hornet Maxxim
Benjamin Prowler .22 cal. with a new scope.
You just can't beat the .22 cal Benjamin Prowler. $67.99 at Wal-Mart for that performance? $67.99 folks!! Nothing comes close for that price. Absolutely love that gun.
Kenny, Is there any way to lighten the trigger pull on this rifle and other Ruger and Umarex rifles with the new and old style triggers? If so could you do a video on it. I have a Ruger Impact that is about 4lbs. trigger pull and the Surge with about 6lbs. Have had them both apart and polished all the contact surfaces but didn't make much difference. Any suggestions? Hope you are doing well. Thanks.
About the only way would be to use a dremel tool to thin the spring.
I have taken this exact rifle apart. The trigger differs from the octane, but a similar trigger mod worked great. Rounding and polishing the tip of the trigger adjust screw makes the pull very acceptable and my groupings much tighter; very easy to do too.
Thanks for your help. I'll try that.
I have this gun, but I am confused. Does it require c02 cartridge to shoot, and if so how do I replace the cartridges?
It's a break barrel with a gas piston power plant. When you cock the barrel, it also cocks the gas piston. When you pull the trigger, the gas piston SLAMS forward, compressing air immediately, which then forces the pellet thru and out the barrel. Not co2. Btw, Kenny passed away about 2 years ago.
Were did you get the stand
tell ya what i bought this boser junge und it kicks ass. but i am not a one cock airgunner all gayness aside it is my first. i am so impressed that it has a gas piston but am concerned about how many pumps are alowed as any airgunner lol iwould like to see a ten thousand round challenge if not a one thousand round challenge with the proper fps
Was that a universal bipod for break barrels? If so can you provide a link to purchase, thank you!
It comes free with some Hatsan Air Rifles.
tight trigger,,,,,, decent rifle, handle on stock to thick does not feel comfortable when in shooting position trigger feels cheap.... like the piticany rail and the fact that its chambered in .22 in survival situation will take down small game easily without letting every other hungry desperate person your location... Over all decent rifle I still like my Gammo big scilent cat better, I feel like its made better feels better when I hold it but its .177 I wanted a lil more bang and the Ruger is a good choice I would recommend it.
I LOVE MY SPRING VERSION WITH A 2X7X32 AO FROM BSA
Does that bipod on the barrel affect the accuracy?
Display only.
I just bought one from walmart. Seems to be very accurate
My ruger impact max tnt wont cock at all.anybady got video to fix this ruger impact max please .thx
Umarex will fix it, best wishes!
Prolly a pellet in the gun somewhere or broke but I finally threw my old one after messing with it for hours and the pellet fell out and rolled across the floor works great now
