Dont know if your going to get into modding it, but theres a TON! of bitchin performance and cosmetic mods for that airgun.
TKO Airguns
Crosman Air Pistol Owners Forum - Index
Take a peek into this Crosman/Benjamin PCP: Marauder Magic eraser mod....
term to know, for your shroud = lead dust collector. Think bout it....
Some forums will ban you for using the typical name for air rifle shrouds.
Theres alot more, be warned modding that pcp is just as addicting as your truck.

yea, dont use that word, its HIGHLY frowned upon in the airgun community.
Start digging, you will find it fast along with alot more information on tuning the trigger, bolt, shroud, polishing the barrel, etcetc.
One of the best mods I have ever done was to strip the gun down completly and polish the upper tube that the bolt, aka striker slides in aswell as the striker to a mirror finish.
Acurracy went through teh roof. as well as a huge reduction in mechanical noise.
Use a 20guage shotgun barrel swab, the big pink sticks. break it in half, chuck it in a drill, lather it with mother mag n wheel. and get busy..
aswell as polishing the trigger parts with a dremel. Square up, flatten everything then shim it all for a precise fit.
I used mini blind trimmings from the hardware store, punch out a cpl circle shims using a socket and hammer, than sand them to size to shim the trigger and sear.
Or if you have access to precision brass shims go that route.
As I warned, bud, its addicting!
pics how I polished my 1377, now all my airguns got this treatment.

Who wouldve tought air guns were such a big deal these days. A 17 caliber rifle can do the job fine, just needs a little powder behind it 
By far my favorite "plinking" gun is my ruger 17hmr. Little bastard is fast as hell and deadly to 600 yards(better be dead calm though).
What kind of range do those things realistically have?
