Quest 500

#1 Post by perch »

I'm seriously considering the Quest 500. I know it's a rebadged B19. Some of the reviews at ReviewCentre really slag this rifle for it's accuracy.

Does it have a problem with break-barrel lock-up consistency? I would like to use a scope but I wonder if this will prevent me from doing so.

Crosman Quest 500 is a great rifle. It can also be turned into the quest 1000 by ordering the Quest 1000 piston.

Also it does not have a problem with break barrel lock up consitency that I know of anyway. The accuracy over all is pretty good.

I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and I love it!
Shoots fine with the scope after dialing it in, but check the barrel pivot bolt as mine was loose when I got it. Other than that I think it's a great gun for the price. Find a hold position that works for you and stick with it and you should be able to pull off some nice tight groups.

I love my Quest 500! i hit a penny from 40 feet, with one shot, with no scope! it was awsome, and so far i have killed 3 birds with one shot! but what do you mean by barrel lock up consistancy mean? BTW i have had it for about a week

is the barrel pivot bolt the thing the barrel turns on? and isnt it a screw?

Yep, it's the thing the barrel turns on. It's a bolt with a slotted head :wink:

If you need to tighten it I suggest removing it and putting some loctite on the threads and re-installing it.

well i have been noticing that on my quest, somtimes its harder to break it open, and somtimes its easier, but just a little difference. Just once and a while its harder to open. Would greasing or oiling the 2 lock things on it fix it? or is it normal?

a bit of moly grease would smooth that out nicely. I'm sure theres other things you could use to lube it too.
