Another report on the Storm was sitting out in the back yard this morning and looked up on the power line (actually it is the phoneline) that runs in back of the house and a tree rat was making his way towards me. I quickly reached over and pickup the Storm cocked it and placed a Crosman domed Pellet in the chamber. I let the squirrel get to within 25 yards of where I was sitting and raised the air-rifle to my shoulder. Upon doing so the squirrel stopped and looked right at me. The crosshairs were centered right between his eyes. I took up the slack in the trigger and at the brake the phone line running treerat was out for the count. I walked over to retrive him and found that the pellet had struck him right where the crosshairs were sitting. This is an impressive well made Chinese Pellet Rifle that Crosman has placed it's name on. I do not know how fast the pellets are traveling, but I would assume them to be moving somewhere between 950 and 980 fps. I'll have to pull out the chronograph and see what they are actually doing some day. I do like this rifle, it is accurate and powerful enough for most small vermin like starline and sparrows on up to squirrels out to 40 yards. However, it is on the moderately loud side so if you plan on doing your shooting in the city find another air rifle or you'll be doing some explaining to your neighbors and maybe even the local law enforcement.
