I love my G-1 Gabe,,,,, but the starlings and squirrels I aim her at don't like her one bit  :)

That tuned G1 I got from Timmy is a cannon! AND accurate. Love the way it feels.

I gotta tell you, i put a 3-9x40 centerpoint and a adjustable trigger, what a difference. It is nicely predictable, and once is broken in, doubtless it will be agreat rifle. By the way... who is tuning the G1??? if this rifle was a bit smoother it would be perfect... PS. the gold trigger looks sharp... i guess it becamne a G1 double gold...lol

My G-1 was such a nice shooter "out of the box" that I just left it alone.  It shot hard, straight and very smooth just as it was.  I  did wind up doing  a full tune on my G-1 but only after A LOT of shooting and the fact that my chrony revealed the start of a piston seal problem.  After the tune the G-1 was even better than I could've expected  :)

What is the difference between the G1 Extreme and the Phantom 1000X?  Pictures look like the Phantom has sights but the G1 does not (it appears to have a barrel weight instead).  Crossmans website does not list the G1 (well, I can't find it anyway) , ... only the Phantom.

same rifle minus the open sights... I particularly like that is scope only as it is a long distance shooter. great rifles and mine is getting better every day. adjustable trigger is a MUST!!!

That's the package my friend bought a few months ago....and then sold to me minus the sock. His came with a CenterPoint 3X9-32mm AO mil-dot scope. The bottom of the receiver is very oily when I took off the stock to tighten the barrel pivot screw (The other Crosmans that I have were not like that). Accurate now at 10 meter distances....out to 40 and 50 yards I need to work on that. Might switch to a GRT III trigger later.

Chop it for balance and you're good to go!!!

[lillysdad621]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!     I want my G1 to be chopped like that!!!!!!!!!!! where did you sent it to get chopped? did it affect accuracy?

[Bentong]

Tim corrupted me into chopping my G1 after I saw  his G1 way back. i started at 14 inch measured from back of breech to tip but kinda messed up the re-crown and ended up with 13 1/2  inch barrel. As for accuracy.. I was able to tighten up my grouping as before after good re crowning. I just used a metal hacksaw #32 and miter box and just filed to smoothen up the cut then recrown it using my dremel using the white round stone i think it was 6/16 dia. after I grounded it with the head of a brass screw. Check it with a lens and q-tip..came out good then slipped my muzzle brake to aid in cocking and from THUDD to thud.

[lillysdad621]

it looks unreal!!!! i can open and relube my rifles, but i am not comfortable chopping yet... maybe i'll find someone to do it...

[gamo2hammerli]

I guess it depends where you hold the forestock.....I find it to be pretty balanced.  I like the weight of the G1....heavy but not excessively....excellent for off-hand shooting and light enough to carry around all day.  Unlike the plastic Gamo Whisper and Big Cat rifles....abit too light.  The Viper's ok.

Just want you to know that I hate all of you.  Dicks is only about 2 miles from my house and if it weren't for my car breaking down today it may have been me "breaking down".

[lillysdad621]

walk dude, walk.... the coolest thing is you trying to walk back the 2 miles home without getting picked up by the FBI for "brandishing a silenced high power sniper weapon system"...lol
