Things I liked:Great power. Once sighted in, simply deadly. Heavy construction, feels solid. The scope is a plus.
Things I would have changed:The sights are cheap. Trigger safety is anything but safe. I can see it going off when trying to set the safety.

Things I liked:Great power. Once sighted in, simply deadly. Heavy construction, feels solid. The scope is a plus.
Things I would have changed:The sights are cheap. Trigger safety is anything but safe. I can see it going off when trying to set the safety.
What others should know:I am not sure why the reviews are so bad about the scope on this model. It took me a little bit to zero it in, but once I got it, it has stayed. Granted, I am generally only shooting at 50-75 ft distances, but I have bagged 2 raccoons, 5 squirrels and a woodchuck with this. I think perhaps people are not tightening the scope down enough because the spring can be jarring. After about 30 - 40 rounds, this gun quiets down quite a bit. While sighting it in, I had a target on a 1'' thick board tacked to a pine tree. It went through the board, and into the tree at 50ft.

Things I liked:I've only owned this rifle for a week, so I don't expect you to agree with everything. I really liked the heft of this rifle, it wasn't too big nor too small. The trigger pull was not as bad as I've read about, but I will definitely be upgrading to a GRTIII setup in the near future. I previously owned a Marksman 0035 (same as a Beeman) and I definitely like the power this rifle produces. It will definitely be my tree rat killer.
Things I would have changed:The open sights, especially the rear, are useless. When I first shot the rifle, it was hitting the target about 3 to 4 inches high. I lowered the rear sight as far as it would go and it still shot high. Yes, I made sure the screws were tight. I have as of yet to clean the barrel, that may make a difference. I would have preferred to buy this rifle without the cheesy scope and add my own later, but hey, it only came as a package. I am constantly adjusting the scope...it never seems to stay on target.
What others should know:It is definitely a great buy and overall, I am very pleased with the product...kudos to Crosman.

Things I liked:Very light for a rifle of this power. Great price. Easy cocking effort.
Things I would have changed:Don't care for the safety. An automatic safety would be nice.
What others should know:The first 10 shots will diesel, causing a rimfire-like report, due to the excessive oil from the factory. My first two shots went through 5/8" waferboard at 32 yards. I couldn't believe it. When cocking the rifle, it is normal for it to seem a bit rough, like something grinding...it's the spring and piston settling in. It will get better after about 250 shots, and the rifle will become smoother and quieter. A good rifle for younger shooters, as long as supervised...this isn't a toy.

Love the color of the stock classic Crosman reminds me of the older models I had as a kid and all the memories that go with them.
Things I would have changed:Two things First the trigger is terrible. Second is the way that the factory mounted the front site that I removed for the optic. I moly lubed the trigger and adjusted it and its a lot better but this is really the only bad part of this rifle. Forget the scope its junk.
What others should know:Buy a better scope and mounts and lube and adjust your trigger and your good to go. This is an excellent value and I recomend this rifle to anyone looking for an excellent valve for the money and a fun rifle.

Things I would have changed:The scope as other reviews have stated doesn't work on this gun! I don't know if it wasn't designed for springers or what but it doesn't stay on target more than a few shots. I suggest saving yourself time and pellets by not even putting the scope on to try it. Don't throw it away though because it works fine on other guns like my 2260. The plastic sights would be much better if they were metal. And obviously more speed would't hurt any gun!
What others should know:There is definitely a lot of hunting potential for this gun. If you're a smallgame airgun hunter on a budget this gun should fill all your needs.

Things I liked:What a great value! As with break-barrels, this model is simple to use, quick to reload, and I think the fiber optic sight is a nice touch. The stock is fitted for an adult as opposed to the shorter stocks they put on kids guns. The finish on the stock is smooth and appears to be stained. I don't know what kind of wood it is.

The stock is fitted for an adult as opposed to the shorter stocks they put on kids guns. The finish on the stock is smooth and appears to be stained. I don't know what kind of wood it is.
Things I would have changed:The scope looks cool, but I never mounted it. The open sights work fine, although I'd like to see a better rear sight from the factory. This one isn't the most durable.
What others should know:There is a variety of .22 ammo out there. I buy lead pellets and I seem to get better range and accuracy with the cone-tipped pellets with no significant difference between manufacturers or price of the ammo. The rifle is pleasingly accurate at 50 feet. My serious shots are all less than 100 feet, and my "hail Mary" shots are up to 300 feet.

Things I liked:Excellent value. Nice looking rifle. After firing ~ 100 rounds to break it in, I mounted a BSA 2-7 x32, on a Leapers 1 piece mount. It zeroed quickly, and has been a consistent killer. I use a 490 FPS Crosman Phantom for close range, open sights. The Quest 800 is used for longer shots. My longest shots are usually 40 yards (measured

Things I liked:Excellent value. Nice looking rifle. After firing ~ 100 rounds to break it in, I mounted a BSA 2-7 x32, on a Leapers 1 piece mount. It zeroed quickly, and has been a consistent killer. I use a 490 FPS Crosman Phantom for close range, open sights. The Quest 800 is used for longer shots. My longest shots are usually 40 yards (measured - not guessed), at Blue Jays, crows, blackbirds and tree rats. Most have been center shots that drop the pests like they were hit by a train.
Things I would have changed:Drop the included rings & scope. The scope is too sensitive to eye relief, and two piece rings are useless. Lower the price by $15 with the deletions, and you have a very accurate rifle costing a pittance.
What others should know:I don't see a need to "upgrade" to a more expensive rifle at any time in the near future. This bargain priced rifle shoots as well as my most accurate .22 rimfires - with no noise issues.

Things I liked:A good rifle, considering the low cost.
Things I would have changed:Fiber optics on open sights are nice, but the flimsy plastic dials to align them are terrible--easily knocked out of position, easily broken. Wood is barely finished, some blemishes. Bad alignment and rough wood in the cocking area results in large splinters and sawdust scraping loose and clogging the works when you cock the rifle.
What others should know:Screws holding barrel in the receiver were VERY loose and need to be tightened immediately. Heavy, loud gun, rough and hard trigger pull. Typical springer traits: hold sensitive and difficult to zero in until you've got the hold down.

Things I would have changed:The sights... They arent too bad just could be not so flimsy and the clicks could be a little more well defined. The scope that came with wasn't all that great either...
What others should know:The gun was very hard to cock for about the first 10-15 shots, then got a little easier. Finish on the wood wasn't as shiny as it looks in the picture either. Inside where the pellet goes was very oily too... might need to wipe off a little excess.

Things I would have changed:definitely upgrade the scope. quality control on the open sights. Took more than a little while to line the sights up. A beginner would find it virtually impossible to do.
What others should know:expect all crosman air rifles to go thru some dieseling for the first 10-25 shots. smelling oil burning is very common in new rifles so don't panic it goes away quickly

Things I liked:For the price I paid this is not a bad air rifle. Comes close to it's rated power & handles 14 - 15 gr pellets at better than average velocities and power for an "economy" air rifle.

Things I liked:For the price I paid this is not a bad air rifle. Comes close to it's rated power & handles 14 - 15 gr pellets at better than average velocities and power for an "economy" air rifle. Hits hard, blasts through 5/8" particle board @ ranges of 30 - 35 yd, penetrates soft spruce construction lumber 1/2 - 3/4" dependent upon density of the particular spot on the wood. Over all not a bad little air rifle for plinking away at medium sized targets from a little distance out.
Things I would have changed:The scope is less than desirable, I replaced it with a little better air rifle scope I had on hand. Factory open sights are flimsy and easily bumped out of zero.
What others should know:Accuracy is as expected for this level of economy air rifle, good at ranges of less than 15 yd, sporadic with best groups in the ≤ 2" range from 35 yd out, even off of sand bag rests. Sufficient to take out possums @ 35 - 40 yd, but go for the lethal zones of the thorax, still a quick kill with a 15 gr hunting pellet. I gave tis rifle some benefit of doubt in the ratings and review........ just what would one expect out of an "800fps" .22 cal air rifle for < $130.00??!

Things I would have changed:Smoother power plant. Less plastic.
What others should know:Runs smooth with H&N Baracuda Match (Beeman Kodiak) 21.14gr domed pellets and groups 5 to 9mm at 10 meters with scope and practice. Was able to shoot through 1/2" plywood cleanly and bury a pellet (measuring from the tip) 3/4" into a pine 2x4. My first springer. Took me a few months and tins of pellets to get consitant groupings. Air rifle is hold sensitive.

Nice stock, and barrel finish (it actually looks like if it were a more expensive rifle. Not too heavy. Light cocking effort.
Things I would have changed:Plastic sights, are cheap. This rifle deserves better sights
What others should know:Scope's a joke (toy scope), you'll be better off ordering a good quality scope. This rifle takes a few hundreds rounds for top performance. dieseling was minimum, and gone after 100 shots. Locktite is in order for this rifle screws, they keep loosening every few hundred rounds. At first it was every 40 to 60 shots. I find the recoil to be on the light side.

It couldnt even bury pellets 100% into any type of wood. The scope/mount was hard to judge because I never truly figured out what was wrong with the gun...BUT the scope did not allow me to see things well....you had to be looking in a very certain angle to get a decent picture...that's gotta go.
I think there might have been a barrell lockup problem? If so, it needs fixed.
What others should know:I couldnt get this gun/scope combo OR this gun and a known good scope to group any less than 3" at 10 yards!!! 700 pellets trying everything under the sun....I think the gun was just plain defective.
If you get a good one I'm sure its a good value.
