Crosman 2250B Reviews

Everything. It's a great gun. 1/2" group at 30 yards.

Larger power sourse.

Great price, glad I got it before it was discontinued. It has good power at short range, within 40 yards. I was sticking pellets 1/4 inch into a 2x4 from 15 yards. Excellent accuracy, the scope isn't the best but is effective within a 40 yard range. I was able to consistently hit a penny from 40 feet. It's easy to load and gets 30 good shots from a single CO2 canister. Will take small game (rabbits, squirrels and game birds). It's quiet and packs a good punch. A ton of upgrade options for this system. I love it.

Right out of the box it was ready to use. Pyrymid Air kicked butt with a great price and fast delivery. I will be adding visual upgrades first with a folding stock and fake silencer. Later I plan to put on the larger barrel and upgrade everything for power.

Find it and buy it. It's not as powerful as many but for the 70 to 80 dollar price tag it can't be beat.

weight,shots per co2 tank,power

4x15 scope that it comes with it,rear stock,

Use a better scope. The 4x15 that comes with is very cheap.The rear stock needs to be longer. If you use the sites on the gun the rear site is to close to your eye.Therefore making it blurry.For that reason I gave accuracy a 4.I get about 40 shots on one co2.First 30 stay strong.Shot a rat at 20 yards (scoped).14.5g RWS super point extra group the best @ 20yards( dime size). I would say that 20 yards is max with this gun on a warm day @ 65+.

i really liked the weight and overall size of this gun, shoots very hard for being a Co2 gun, accurate for around 30 feet .

nothing......

first day i had this gun i saw a rabbit about 25 yards away, took it down easy great hunting gun!

Gun shoots like a rifle and is just as powerful. Sturdy construction and fits good in the hand. I almost felt guilty when I bought it. You can't beat the price for the quality. I recommend to anyone who likes to plink or take care of small pests. The gun's accurate and hits hard.

Put on a better scope or send with no scope. I immediately replaced it with a Barska 30mm red dot, slipped right on and looks great. Trigger's a bit tight, but will break in soon.

You'll need to tighten up the screws, mine were loose. I put washers in and it's nice and tight, no play in the grip or stock.

this gun is great, it has awsome accuracy and power, it is solid and sturdy

put a bigger scope on it

when puting pellet in tilt gun forward and the pellet will just fall into place

I bought this rifle on june 2008 in pyramydair, I have tried many rifles and this is my favorite, it has a good length and weigh and the accuracy is so good with crosman premier pointed, I hit a bird few days ago at 60 yards, I think this rifle ir a good choice for small game hunting

I'd like to change a longer barrel for 18" barrel, but the most important thing about you have to change is the SCOPE, I put on my own a Leapers 4x40 mil-dot reticle, looks great and helps with the accuracy

You can buy a lot of pieces to custom this rifle and make it better, mine has a leapers 4x40 mildot reticle, steel breech, a big boss valve, a triger shoe, silencer and a leapers bipod, a lot of fun in just 37", i recomend this co2 rifle, thanks pyramydair

This gun is extremely accurate, I can hit an empty 12oz co2 cannister at almost 30yd or snip a dog fence boundery flag in-half at 20yd with iron sights (I use RWS Superdomes). I haven't hunted with it yet so I can't tell you how it does on that score, but it puts a nice hole in a hedgeapple (mind that you don't shoot at posts... the pellet will rebound back). I average about 40 shots out of each co2 cannister but Iv'e had as many as 55 (the velocity is poor at this point). How tight you screw the co2 cannister in also determines how many powerful shots you get. I usualy tighten the screw with my fingers, if you turn it too tight the velocity and number of shots noticeably suffers.

The barrel has some very small free movement at the barrel band but you can easily fix it.

Make sure you buy some Crosman Pellgunoil. I can't find anyone else who sells it except Crosman and Pyramid Air and if you don't buy it now it's seven dollars for shipping later.

Excellent shooter right out of the box. Accurate with CPLs and CHPs. Lightweight and hard hitting. Many aftermarket parts and mods available. Best bang for the buck.

LOOSE those flimsy scope mounts... if you seriously like this gun, order an aftermarket steel breech and get rid of the scope mounts. You won't regret it.

Recently discontinued by Crosman, so DON'T WAIT AND GET ONE NOW !!!

Rumor has it Crosman is discontinuing this model. Get one while you can. Shoulders nice, light, quick. These 22XX models from Crosman really deliver performance when you add a good scope. Velocities are at or above those stated (yes, I chronographed.) I'll be modded this gun with a couple hundred dollars in add-ons.

The scope sucks, keep it and knock a couple dollars off. The iron sights are also too course and makes it hard to hit the small things you shoot with an airgun (snails, Nicco Wafers, flys...)

If you use the iron sights, flip the rear one so you can use the peep version. With the fiber optic front sight it is much better than the 2240 set-up.

compact,bolt action,co2,accurate

scope mounts slip

powerful enough to hunt small game. I just got back from a squirrel hunt. I got a nice piney/red squirrel . a head shot at about10 yards.

Accurate & powerful,use a litle Kentucky windage even with a scope & you'll be suprised at how far you can shoot with it.

Not a thing.

Don't like it in stock form? That's OK,it's easily modified & there's parts galore for it,both from Crosman & aftermarket. Crosman stands behind their products & the service from Pyramyd is excellent.

light,accurate,compact

make it a multi shot

crosman premier .22 hollow point work well with this gun, powerful enough for small game(squirrel,rabbit)

Great value. I have three, and just ordered a forth. The best barrel for this air rifle is the 18 in. It looks a lot more "balanced" and is actually the fastest. [see pyramid's blog on CO2 barrel length.] I did test this out with my chrony and 2250XE , both courtesy of Pyramid.

The two I ordered from Crosman custom shop was my mistake. I ordered both with the 24 in barrel. Looks ungainly and is slower than the 18 in.barrel on the 2250XE. Not all my mistake, Crosman's web page does not really show the barrels in true visual scale.[they all appear shorter than actual] The company is about an hour away from my home so I'll take a nice ride someday and see if they'll sell me two 18 inchers, one in .177, the other in .22.

I was amazed at the accuracy for the price. Inexpensive, but very well engineered. I would, however strongly suggest a compact scope, looks a lot better and fewer problems with eye relief. The fiber optic stock that Crosman offers is a a steal and looks great. I guess there is truth in the logic" if you make one hell of a lot of something you can sell them cheap, and make it up with volume".

I like the balance with the 24in barrel and the ergonomics. I added the 24in barrel availiable directly from crossman and with it it shoots farther and flatter. Performance with the original barrel isn't that great, but when you put on a longer barrel, it hits like a pellet gun 3 times the price.

I would have the longer barrel, at least an 18incher, fitted as standard. The original barrel is just too short to get the pellet up to a good speed.

It's a great .22 rifle with tons of potential. Great buy for the price., but you need to rebarrel it. It's quick and easy, no problem.

Excellent base platform for customizations, lightweight, compact and packs a nice little punch.

Tighter barrel to breech fit. I'd rather Crosman not include the scope and drop the price, or rig it up with a better rear sight.

Most complaints people have about this base model is the plastic breech. Guess what? You can order it from Crosman's custom shop with the extras added for a price. This particular model is just that - the BASE model. The beauty is that it leaves just about everything open to your imagination and modification needs. Grips/stock are interchangable with the 2240 so you can turn it into a pistol if that's what you're after. I for one don't mind the plastic breech - it does what it's supposed to do. I love using open sights on pistols and rifles. If I wanted a steel breech, there's quite a few aftermarket ones available out there, as well as the option to order one from Crosman. She shoots quite well out of box, but barrel to breech fit could be tighter, for better accuracy. I left this one as is and didn't do any major modifications to it, with the exception of adding a piece of tape around the rear of the barrel for a snug fit into the breech. The one thing you do want to look in to is how to properly manage the current Co2 output in a more efficient manner so there's less waste and there's quite a few easy ways to do this. All in all, this is an accurate, fun and affordable rifle whether or not you're going to make modifications to it. Spend a little time researching and applying better Co2 management applications and you've got yourself a sweet little plinker capable of taking out paper and small pests within a short range. More mods will turn this into an excellent small game dropper at further ranges.

Great gun for the money, very accurate, compact, light weight, yet solid and powerful enough for close range small game hunting or pest control..even in stock form.

Comes with a composite upper breech/receiver though stronger than it may seem..it should still come stock with the all steel-beech like on the XT version ..it is available as an optional part though and fits right on.

Is a Great mod platform ..many MANY mods are available for this gun ..check out the crosman forum. Most parts are interchangeable with its sibling guns the 2240 and 2260 and vice versa.

Light weight. Small and compact. Accurate.

Plastic breech. Crosman should add the a little extra to the price, and put their steel breech on it from the factory.

This is a plinker. It says suitable for small game. Unless you modify it extensively it's not going to do much for the game bag. Great target rifle. Stock configuration is good for 35 yards or so. After that the pellet starts to fall fast. I'd recommend a Mil-dot scope for it.

lightweight, easy to handle, fun to shoot

scope is garbage, i have to adjust it each time after a shooting session

ye it runs out of gas very fast, you can shoot about 30/40 times. Overall a good gun!!

powerful,.22,accurate, a lot of fun

.....

it kicks @$$
