Top shooting Rick!
The result just proves out the old comment. Never under estimate the power of a .20Cal in Gas ram or PCP!
The Crusader looks great!
Ray.
Kwik there goes a red wun!

Thanks Ray. You're right, they are a great gun and will do the job if well placed. The Crusader in the flesh is magnificent. I had to de-res the photo to make it fit the site.
Cheers

16-17FP with JSB Exact 13.73
17-18FP with Beeman FTS 11.5
18-19FP with Beeman Silver Bear 9.88
These are normal figures after a while.

Sensational.
Although when I first glanced at the threads title I instantly thought of 'Mormons & Jehovah's'.

OK.It's a hot one or well run in!
I really like the Crusader.Sort of like a gas spring R9 but with much more grunt.

The Crusader is gas spring like the old Crow Magnum/Taunus/Olympus/Sirooco etc and the current SLR98/Eliminator etc.

Sorry Stink. Yes gas ram. Question for Lewis would be comparison with R9.

The R9 is 14 out of the box (apparently) however I am guessing from lewis's magic and a maccari tune is probably more like between 15-16 at max so the crusader well especially yours by the sounds has a few fpe over the R9's I like it.
