Things I liked:

I bought 2 of these for my boys for Christmas. Of course the surprise was worth the effort, but the product lived up to its reviews and reputation. Although the backpack water bottle and firs aid kit are "take it or leave it," the gun and the stock are well worth the investment. The fact that it comes with a starter pack of pellets pushes the total value over the top. By noon we had set up a small target range and the boys were shooting with HUGE smiles on their faces. It was a great afternoon of learning safety, technique and by the end of the session, hitting targets with fairly consistent results from 20 yards out. Right out of the box, the accuracy is impressive. The ease of use made it fun for my brother and I as well as the 7 and 9 year olds. The small-ish stock is a good stater platform for the smaller ones as well.

Things I would have changed:

So far, not much. I do see the usefulness of several of the modifications that are popular on this gun and would hope that Crosman would incorporate several of them in subsequent offerings.

What others should know:

Airgunners beware, this is definitely a gateway into a deep (probably $$$) black hole. I already have plans to dial these in and make them better for the monkeys, but I highly recommend this kit.

Things I liked:

The pellet gun seems to be good. I like the longer barrel for more power and accuracy !!!

Things I would have changed:

The pump arm handle it's to small for some one with big hands like me!!! The stock needs to be adjustable the whole assembly is to short for some one with long arms like me !!!!!! I would have put grips in the kit to use it like a pistol !!!! And the better breach kit to mount a scope !! A better backpack to put it in !! AS to the cheap china junk throw it away , i would not put some thing to drink in the canteen before having it tested for contaminants!!!!!!

What others should know:

This is not much for survival doomsday bug out kit !!!!! To be able to get food to stay alive , more like a 12 year old kit to play with!!!

    Things I liked:

    I purchased a Crosman 2289 Doomsday 6 years ago and found it to be terrific gun. I loved the way it was designed, handled and operated; I would have purchased a 2nd Doomsday, but within a short time, none could be found, even on ebay. I purchased a Crosman1322 and immediately realized the hazard of damaging my hand with every pump. The difference was the wide forearm on the 2289. While not sold separately, this forearm was duplicated by a wood carver and sold on ebay. I purchased one, painted it black and put it onto the 1322, eliminating this hazard. When this new 2289 version came out, having a longer barrel than the earlier version, I jumped at it, thinking the forearm could not possibly be identical to the 1322, but it was! But not now. I've put the forearm wood carving on the new Doomsday and it handles and operates better than before, at least as good as my 6 year-old Doomsday, if not better. Pyramyd Air should sell these wider forearms, if not a another wood carver.

    Things I would have changed:

    Change the new 2289 forearm from the Crosman 1322 version to the previous 2289 version.

    Things I liked:

    Wow! What a good little Airgun. I put on the steel breech kit easy by the way. I always put those on even the 2240 models. Put on the Winchester 2-7x32/AO. What a charm to shoot. Very accurate at 15 to 20 yards with 4 to 5 pumps. Must of got a perfect barrel. Holes in holes using Crosman Hp ammo. And all the stuff it comes with is nice too.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not a thing!!!

    Things I liked:

    Great value. Shoots accurately from 7 yards. Quiet. Nice backpack case (for not having to pay for it separately).

    Things I liked:

    Inexpensive, compact, high powered enough for small game at short range and very accurate for what it is.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish the rear sight was click adjustable and that the peep sight had a removable aperture, also the stock hole is too small for low light and sighting the gun in is a bit of a pain in the caboose. That said the gun is shockingly accurate despite the primative sights.

    What others should know:

    I really wish you could buy this gun as a combo with the steel breech and a williams FP reciever sight since scoping a gun this compact ruins it's purpose as a compact hunting rig and a backpack plinker.

    Things I liked:

    This is a great little gun , great deal package for the price you cant go wrong. Very accurate and also nice power for it size. The best thing is that you can customize this to your taste and needs.

    Things I would have changed:

    The back pack and other extras that comes with the package are not the best quality but come on for the price just the gun is worth the money , I am pretty happy and been .22 cal is a plus.

    What others should know:

    The stock does not have the screws just click into the gun. I took my time and drilled and added the screws to make I stronger connection, other than that is a very cool little gun and very accurate . I will recommend this to everyone .

    Things I liked:

    Good concept, good price

    Things I would have changed:

    The two parts stack together nicely and are easy to secure with a bungee cord. However, the barrel sticks out longer than a stock in both increases the footprint and could easily wear a hole in the top or bottom of a bag. The standard 10 inch barrel would be the best choice for backpacking. If the SOS tin was a little more narrow they could make a stock stash bag that would fit the sos tin and a tin of ammo. With a short barrel and stock storage, this would be a really nice package and its so close to being there that I chose to send this back, despite shipping costs.

    What others should know:

    In theory this is a really good package but in reality it hasnt been thought through for actual use, its good for an imaginative day out but not good if you actually want to pack it long term. I recommend buying a standard 10 inch, then by the quick release kit or just carry a small screwdriver. You can find a Stocks Stash on eBay and put together your own SOS kit. It will be a lot more practical than this box. Its unfortunate because the older version came with a shorter barrel, a better pump arm, and better kit like first aid and emergency blanket. It should also come with the short bungee or engineered clip to keep the two parts together. Even if they had to remove the backpack or some of the useless kit to keep it at $100 price I would probably buy multiples if they put more thought into The actual usefulness of this concept.

    First of all awesome deal ! Wow ! I am impressed hands down. Do not know what to get for a special gift . Let me tell you unless your buy for someone spoiled rotten and who does not appreciate anything anyways . This right here is something everything is good . I am 54 Sportsman , Veteran I am impressed ! If I was 7 through 15 it would of been what I wanted .

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing it is fine just the way it is .

    What others should know:

    I have had a 1322 Medalist since the beginning . When the stock 1399 came out I had it ! Extremely accurate for a short barrel the shots that have been made would amaze the average person in stock configuration. I am here to tell you completely stock 1322 can be quite adequate to teach proper marksmanship skills and hit single hole groups @25 feet and 3/8 inch groups at 25 yards . You can go further in to custom builds and high performance builds to something that is already a pilar in the shooting world an air gun that has recognition around the world ! ENJOY!

    Things I liked:

    I liked the quality of the products in the kit. The backpack, canteen and cover where well made and very usable. The SOS survival kit is nice and has some cool gadgets in it . I am yet to test these items as far as just how usable they are .A tin of quality Crosman pellets to get you shooting . And last but most important the Crosman 2289 22 cal pump air gun with a 14" barrel and a butt stock which I found to be a durable and with a little practice accurate out of the box.

    Things I would have changed:

    Crosman could include pellgun and chamber oils.

    What others should know:

    The Crosman pump air pistol in this kit is a great candidate for all kinds of up grades and improvements and there are a host of company's offering all kinds of aftermarket parts to improve performance and accuracy. I chose to add a scope to mine . With minimal care this Crosman air gun should last you a lifetime.

    Things I liked:

    The number one reason I bought this is because of the quick release stock and the accuracy....period. I like being able to break this down to fit inside a backpack.

    Things I would have changed:

    The additional Items in this package are pretty cheap. The backpack itself is flimsy and should have something to hold the stock and pistol in place so it's not just flapping around inside. If this were a real bugout kit, the canteen should have at least been made of something that could boil water in instead of it being made of plastic.
