Just got Crossman Challenger 2009
Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2009 3:18 pm
My Challenger arrived yesterday. I'm new to this but will post my thoughts as I use it more. A few quick things:
- Does anyone know what kind of sling will fit it and where to get one? The Crosman rep told my my nylon Daisy sling (from a 953) would attach easily, but the accessory rail is different than the 953's. Crosman's site says they don't make any accessories for the gun. Any ideas?
- If you are filling it with the hand pump you may need to do it w/ the gun cocked if it is the first fill. This nugget of wisdom is buried in the manual only under the section about filling it w/ a pressurized tank. So I just spared you hours of lat night frustration figuring out why the neither the pump nor gun will hold pressure.
- So far the only thing I don't like is the sound it makes when it shoots - a little boingy and toy-like. I haven't touched any of the factory adjustments.
