After purchasing in a physical store, it turned out that the side adjustment of the scope did not work, and the vertical adjustment was very limited. Additionally, after taking it out of the box, you could hear metallic elements hitting inside the airgun. The airgun was sent to service, and the scope was replaced with a new one. After picking it up from the service and shooting about 200 rounds, the airgun began to lose power in such a way that the changing trajectory of the pellet could be seen through the scope as well as when shooting from the hip, so the airgun was sent to service for a second time. For equipment at this price, I would expect better quality and power, especially since my Summit couldn't match the power of the Copperhead or Hatsan TG models for much less money. All that's left is to hope that the second visit to the service center will solve the ongoing problems with my Summit.

Crosman Summit Nitro Piston 4.5 mm Air Rifle with 3-9x40 scope
Built on a traditional break barrel platform and inspired by Remington rifles, this air rifle features a 4.5 mm caliber threaded barrel and comes equipped with a scope offering variable magnification from 3-9x and a 40 mm diameter objective lens. Designed for use with diabolo-type pellets, it delivers a muzzle energy of up to 17 J.
Nitro Piston gas spring, enlarged profile barrel
The Summit variant is equipped with a Nitro Piston gas spring, allowing for easier cocking than traditional coil systems. The firing mechanism also operates more quietly, and pellets discharged from the barrel maintain their rated muzzle velocity of 305 m/s even after 25,000 rounds. The enlarged barrel contour ensures a secure hold, offering an ergonomic lever for charging the air rifle.
Scope set with one-piece mount
Outfitted with an 11 mm mounting rail, the air rifle supports the installation of an optical sight, including the included 3-9x40 scope featuring a 30/30 crosshair. This scope delivers a field of view of 12-4 /100 m and is equipped with parallax adjustment via a ring situated at the objective lens, as well as the ability to correct visual imperfections. Secure placement of the scope on the rifle is ensured by the one-piece mount provided in the set.
Ambi stock body, uncontrolled firing lock
Constructed from varnished wood, the carbine's stock features grooved gripping surfaces to ensure the air rifle remains secure in hand. An Ambi-type cheek pad accommodates both left- and right-handed shooters. Enhanced user comfort is provided by the butt plate, which incorporates a ventilated rubber recoil pad. Safety is prioritized with a safety mechanism placed within the trigger guard just ahead of the trigger, guarding against unintentional discharge.

Militaria.pl is the exclusive distributor of Crosman
Crosman is a brand with more than a century of tradition, which has been providing shooting enthusiasts with reliable air guns and ammunition for years. A turning point in its history was the introduction of the Powerlet CO2 cartridge in 1954 - a 12-gram capsule that revolutionized the market by offering 50% more gas than the 8-gram cartridges previously used. This allowed a much higher number of shots to be fired from a single capsule. Over the years, Crosman expanded its offerings, introducing airsoft replicas, optics and accessories. Today the brand offers a wide range of products that work well for both recreational shooting and professional training.

A decent piece of equipment for the advanced shooter. Perfect for long distances, heavy, realistic. The most powerful air rifle at this price. I recommend it for a collection!
-
There is no better air rifle at this price, strong, accurate and precisely made. As for the scope, it's surprising that at this price the scope is also so good. I recommend it – quality and price are amazing.
-
Mega good air rifle. Shoots very lightly and smoothly. It is super accurate. The set includes a good scope. It's pleasant to cock the spring, it doesn't resist. I highly recommend it.
-
Due to its weight and size, the air rifle is rather for men than women. It gives a sense of handling a "serious" weapon. This air rifle is an example that a spring of this type is a good choice. I definitely recommend it for recreational shooting. A solid piece of hardware.
-
The air rifle meets my expectations one hundred percent. Easy and pleasant to use. And accurate—I can hit a bottle cap from 25 meters. For me, it's a “bomb”. I recommend it.

This was my first purchase and I am very satisfied. The air rifle met all my expectations. It's accurate, and in addition, the set includes a very good scope. Very well-made weapon – highly recommend :)

I've had this airgun for several years. I consider it to be very solid equipment. In my opinion, it's reliable and provides a lot of fun shooting. Of course, you need to take care of it and maintain it. If you do, it will last for many years. There's nothing much that can break. The only possible issue could be the optics because it's a spring airgun, but with good optics, you can easily shoot at targets the size of a beer can at 60-70 meters, or even smaller, as long as there's no wind and you aren't just starting your shooting adventure. Overall, I recommend it. It looks great and, in my opinion, shoots very well.

There are supporters and opponents of the gas spring; I'm one of the former. This airgun is an example that such a spring is a good choice. Definitely recommend for recreational shooting. A solid piece of hardware. I recommend it!
-
Superb airgun. Shoots very lightly and smoothly. It's extremely accurate. The set includes a good scope. Cocking the spring is pleasant and offers no resistance. Highly recommended.
-
Very well-made rifle. It's very powerful, but also accurate. The trigger was stiff, but after some small modifications, it works smoothly and pleasantly. It’s worth buying a shock-reducing rail, as it can break the optics. Mine broke a cheap mount. Easy to cock, the shot is pleasant with a gentle kick. Great equipment.
-
I bought it from a friend, and I don’t regret it. I am satisfied, this air rifle brings a lot of joy, it's strong, accurate, and very well made. Definitely worth recommending to everyone.
-
I shot with my friend’s, the build quality is so-so; it's not much different from airguns costing 500 PLN. Quite heavy. Is it powerful? From 15 meters, it penetrates a pallet board to the depth of the pellet. The scope is useless, you can adjust it all you want and see no results. It's pointless that they sell it with a scope you have to throw away and buy a new one, because there are no open sights.

I bought it about a year ago, so the equipment has been tested in various conditions. You shouldn't worry about the initial problems with breaking the barrel. The manufacturer simply didn't lubricate it (you need to add a lot of oil :)). The same goes for the safety. After a year of testing and mounting optics with x12 magnification, the impression is fantastic (the scope from the set isn't bad, but with x9 magnification it's hard to see the hit at longer distances, and that's what interests me). With the right pellets and in proper weather conditions (temperature over 15°C), hitting a 14x14 cm target from 70 m is no problem (from freehand! Maybe you can shoot further accurately, but my private shooting range has its limits). In my case, Terminator pellets from H&N work best, even though they're theoretically not designed for precision shooting at that distance. Extra points for the design in the style of a rifle made of good wood and noticeable recoil, but it doesn't affect accuracy.
