I ordered two Crosman 0290 red dot sights. I mounted one on a 1984 vintage Model 1377 American Classic and one on a new Model 2240. The sights were well packaged, mounted easily and both worked properly. They are inexpensive and suit my needs.
Things I would have changed:For the money, I don't have any changes to suggest.
What others should know:The really good thing about this purchase was Pyramyd Air customer service. I originally ordered a Walther red dot sight and through my own fault, I ordered one that would not mount on 3/8 dovetail. Pyramyd Air graciously allowed me to return the Walther and replace the order with these two 0290 sights. Pyramyd Air customer service is great and the reason I will continue to be a customer.

Not much. Never worked.
Things I would have changed:Flimsy battery contact, poorly made switch.
What others should know:Never worked, useless even as a paperweight. Spend another $20 and get a real Red Dot sight.

I put this sight on a Crosman 2240XL. I think it is a good fit for that gun. It is a decent sight for the price point.
Things I would have changed:The "on" "off" switch is in a bad location and does not have a detent of any kind so it is very easy to accidentally turn it on when storing the gun. It should be a button or in a different spot where it wouldn't get bumped. The adjustment turrets do not "click" either so it is kind of a guessing game as to how much to turn each one to get it sighted in.

sight picture, quick to find target, easy to adjust
Things I would have changed:on off switch, adjustment knob should be more lockable, size of red dot to large. At 50 yards red dot is larger then 4" bulls eye so its to large to use for shooting long distance. 10 meter might be ok. Should work great on shot-gun type PCP pellet gun.
What others should know:Mine has a shooting star tail on the lower left side of the red dot. However, you don't notice it at close ranges unless you are looking for it. Guess the target at close ranges seems larger makes the dot seem smaller then it is.

Dot is bright, cheap.
Things I would have changed:Overall quality is poor. Elevation knob turns too easy and has to be taped to stay put. Battery cover needs to be taped down too or it will easily pop off and be lost in the woods.
What others should know:It would be more worth it to spend another $15-20 to get something that will last longer.

Quick sight picture. I was able to use front sight to adjust for elevation on my rifle.
Things I would have changed:Better adjustment turrets Better switch
What others should know:This is a beginner 's model for the price . Mine broke after a week of use . I am not returning it because it gained sentimental value.

Nothing
Things I would have changed:The red dot is FAR too bright and "fuzzy", and it covers the entire bulls-eye at 10 yards. Unlike most other sights, the brightness cannot be adjusted. To make matters worse, the on/off switch stopped working.
What others should know:My 2 Crosman pistols are fine guns. Why they put the Crosman name on this piece of junk is beyond me.

Great optics for this pistol.
Things I would have changed:A more positive and ridgid adjustment system.
What others should know:I will tighten up adjustment screws with some rubber washers so it will hold adjustment when set.

It's in-expensive and works as long as you don't bump it.
Things I would have changed:Needs adjustable brightness only has on or off. It is not very sturdy and if you lay down the gun so that it 'rests' on the sight it will knock it out of alignment. The up/down adjustment is very touchy and loose.
What others should know:You get what you pay for.

Price, mounts well, and for a cheaper pistol works very well
Things I would have changed:the up/down knob was very loose, but with screwing in the top Phillips screw it snugged up
What others should know:This is a very inexpensive item, plastic. But with some fiddeling, it works. Also, there is but one size of RED DOT, which on small targets covers the whole target.

The price allowed me to try a red dot sight with very little investment. It did sight in and allow me to hit spinners at 25 yards.
Things I would have changed:The adjusting turrets have no clicks

Low cost, for a first time red dot user it's an entry sight that shows the pros and cons of red dots, but it looks and feels like a low cost sight, if you like it you will want something better.
Things I would have changed:A locking mechanism for the sighting knobs. Maybe a smaller dot for easier targeting a bullseye ring better at 10 meters.
What others should know:On a 1377 it looks a bit big, perhaps on a rifle it looks better. But no big deal.
