Crosman Introduces New Optimus Break Barrel

ROCHESTER, New York- Crosman® Corporation, long known for innovation and quality in products for the shooting sports, has introduced the new Crosman Optimus™ break barrel air rifle.

According to Crosman Product Manager, Sara Calcagno, "The new Optimus break barrel, available in .177 and .22 caliber, is both powerful and elegant. It features a handsome, ambidextrous, hardwood stock. With a relatively light cocking force and a two-stage adjustable trigger, the Optimus is built to get the job done with velocities up to 1200 feet per second (fps), using alloy pellets," she said. "The barrel incorporates a micro-adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front sight," she continued. "If you choose the model with optics, you'll find a CenterPoint® 4x32mm precision scope which makes an ideal package."

The Crosman Optimus air rifle will be introduced at SHOT Show 2011, in Las Vegas with an MSRP of $149.99 with scope. Crosman will exhibit its entire product line during SHOT Show 2011 in Las Vegas from January 18-21 in booth number 12740.
