Description
The Crosman Optimus Break Barrel Air Rifle blends classic craftsmanship with dependable performance, making it a versatile choice for target shooting, plinking, and small game hunting. Designed with a handsome ambidextrous hardwood stock, the Optimus delivers a traditional look and balanced feel that appeals to shooters of all experience levels.
Powered by a spring-piston break barrel action, the Optimus offers a relatively light cocking effort paired with strong downrange performance. In .177 caliber, this rifle is capable of velocities up to 1200 feet per second when shooting alloy pellets, delivering flat trajectories and excellent reach. The rifled steel barrel supports consistent accuracy with both lead and alloy pellets.
For aiming, the rifle features a fiber-optic front sight and a micro-adjustable rear sight for precise adjustments. A dovetail mounting rail comes standard and is paired with an included CenterPoint® 4×32 precision scope, giving shooters the flexibility to shoot with irons or optics right out of the box. The adjustable two-stage trigger allows for a smoother, more predictable trigger pull, enhancing overall shot control.
Available in .177 or .22 caliber, the Crosman Optimus is a refined, reliable air rifle that balances power, accuracy, and classic styling for time well spent outdoors.

One of my favorites. I shhot on a .adorable level. Mainly pcp. This is my go to break barrel. Squirrel head shots at 50 yards with proper scope
Nathan –
Very accurate rifle, (after you put about 250-500 rounds through it) avrage of 1 1/4 groupings from 30yds away. Pretty easy to prime it (again after 250-500 rounds). Only complaint is that the rear sights feel pretty cheep. Scope is pretty Good but if your trying to shoot longer range I recommend getting a higher magnification like 6x or 9x. Overall defiantly worth the price. Just make sure to put 2 drops of oil in it after every 250 rounds. BE CAREFUL NO TO OVER OIL IT (could damage the rifle).

I bought on a Black Friday deal a couple years ago so got excellent value. Once I got the scope dialed in (wasn’t difficult) it is amazingly accurate. Great for rabbits, chipmunks and squirrels. Great little gun with zero problems so far.

At 40 paces a squirrel, bluejay, nor Chipmunk have a chance. It will not make a kill shot in the brain on a coon, skunk, or similar at 40 paces but does have the ability at 15 paces. My Optimus is 3 quarters of an inch accurate at 40 paces and is the favorite pellet rifle that I own.

I have shot every iguana that has entered my domain. Very accurate and reasonably priced.
David Woods –
I tried the scope it came with and even tried a higher end name brand air rifle scope, with the gun in my rifle bench I use for my 300 win mags, etc. And could never get this gun to shot anything better than a pie plate group at best. Worst piece of junk, crosman 2100 was the best back in the day air rifle. Break barrels suck. Even tried iron sight on the gun. Even worst. Avoid break barrel pellet rifles!!!

Trigger pull is a little stiffer than I would have liked it to be….
