Page 4 - Crosman 2300S Reviews

Brianag618: The Crosmans Model 2300S out of the box is not a bad Target Pistol, add to that the Williams Micrometer sight and the Lother- Walter Matched Barrel, and its not a bad Target gun right out of the BOX. The Williams Micrometer Notched Rear Sight is a plus, very easy to bring your shots in (using a sand bag bench rest) Cliick by Click, you will not be unhappy.

crosman made a very nice Target Pistol, and must have spent a lot of money and time to perfect the shooting abilities of this Model, BUT, and its a big "BUT", Crosman wasted their time by putting on their Standard Plastic STOCK GRIPS. These are the same Grips used on th Model 2300T (which I also own) as well as their other Pistols, 2250, 22760 etc. If you want to make this a real FANTASTIC Target Pistol (my openion) throw away the Plastic Grips (something Crosman should have done) and invest the extra $60.00 in a set of Crosmans Real Wood Grips. This is something Crosman should have done to distinguish this Pistol from any other out there in the price range. The Wooden Grips are real, and give the gun a whole new feeling. Better balance and better control of your shots. Crosman also needs to re-work the Triger and get rid of the then one they are using. Again I suggest very strongly, that you in vest the $6.00 or so in on of Crosmans Triger Sleves (they come in several colors). Again you will be very happy by adding this device, to give you the feel of a REAL Triger under your finger instead of the pressed Brass one they are using. This is something Crosman needs to do to make this a true compition Target Pistol, change the Grips to Real Wood, and re-design the triger for a better feel. If you the shooter make these changes, believe me you will be moren the estatic with the over all quality of the Model 2300S & (T). I made these changes to both of my new 2300S & 2300T models after a very short time and several hundred rounds later. Now that the changes have been made my dead ctr hits have greatly improved.

The 2300S is listed as being able to fire 60+ shots per Co2 cylender, I have been getting 80 + good shots per Co2, but at the same time it has been very warm where I live, and this helps to extend the life of the Co2. Make the above recomended changes wnd you will be very happy with your shooting investment. Also an added note, should you wish to add a Laser Sight to either the 2300S or T Model, and have it mounted out of the way under the Barrel, buy the Crosmans 459MT Mounts (2set kit @ 2pcs each) 3/8 Dovetail. Crosman does not list the 2300S or T as being one of their guns these mounts fit, but take my word for it, they fit and when secured they are nice and tight, and can be mounted upside down under the Barrel very close to the sight to add a Laser sight, Pyramyd Air Sales rep, recomended the Daisy Laser for my personal use, and it works great for low light and night shooting, which I do a lot of.

I really liked the quality of this gun and the accuracy is exceptional and it is quiet. The Williams sight is a real plus.

The trigger needs to be relaced with one like I have on my Crossman Mark 1. I took the gun apart and took much pain in doing a trigger job on this gun and now it shoots even more exceptional

When installing the Williams sight. Crank the elevation up so the sight slides on far enough or you could bend the small bar that slides to lock the sight into the dovetail for installing this great sight.

EXCELLENT ACCURACY!!! The Williams sight is great, even for my aging eyes. Trigger is adjustable and acceptable. I'v been shooting a hole in paper, and then using the hole as the target. One hole groups are the norm...anywhere from 10-20 shots per group!

Not much. Trigger is not the best but can be adjusted down to acceptable levels. It may smooth out over time as well....

When shooting this pistol at targets and drilling the pellets into the same hole time after time, your eyes kind of wander and you just get carried away plinking at any target - which you always hit!!! Great gun for the money!!!!!!

exceptional accuracy out of box

somewhat disappointed with plastic grips rear notch too wide for front sight post

you will spend another 50-70$ for grips

THE TRIGGER SPRING IN THE GRIP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A LIGHTER SPRING IN ORDER TO GET TRIGGER PULL DOWN UNDER A LB.

WILLAMS SIGHT CAN NOT BE INSTALLED LEVEL WITH THE BARREL. IT DIPS ABOUT 5 DEGREES AND IS NOT ALIGNED WITH FRONT SIGHT. I HAD TO SEND IT BACK TO FACTORY FOR FIX. WOOD GRIPS WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE CHEAP PLASTIC ONES, OR AT LEAST MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE.

GUN HAS GOOD BALANCE FOR EITHER STANDING ARE CREEDMORE.

This gun is a supurb build, top quality in everyway. The gun is very accurate, and the sights are wonderful. Crosman out did their self with this gun.

Some nice wood target grips would be nice, but crosman has several to choose from on there web.

The trigger does have a little creep but not bad at all. It is hard to load wadcutter pellets in the chamber, but holding the barrel upwards does help. The pellets I have been tryed is Crosman field hunting pointed pellets and they load easy and are very accurate. I really love this gun, And I would just like to say that Pyramyd's service is truly second to none.

Very accurate! I am getting aprox. 70 accurately metered shots per CO2 cartridge at high power. Hard to believe but true and better than advertized.

The Williams gunsight is good but is nearly impossible to get set at a perfect right angle to the frame. However since the muzzle weight is adjustable it makes no difference in the accuracy but for a perfectionist (like me) it is slightly annoying.

I have tried different pellets, incl match grade, long throat, short throat, pointed, domed, wadcutter combos and it seems to group them all equally well at 25-30 ft which is unique to my experience with any firearm. Maybe after a few more CO2 cartridges I will notice a difference but not so far and I am shooting some pretty good groups.

Shoots Great !

Nothing

It's a nice airgun for the money!

Crossman has been very responsive to the problems I have had. Also, the pistol has already proven to be very precise; I was able to shoot tight groups the first night of firing (from a bench rest.) The rear sight's adjustments are easy and crisp. The trigger adjustments are effective and useful.

The trigger is a thin piece of stamped metal. A proper target trigger would be appropriate. Also, the width of the notch in the rear sight and the thickness of the front sight are not well matched -- there is too much white space in the sight picture. I would prefer a notch about 20% more narrow.

When mounted on the pistol, the Williams rear sight is not horizontal; it tilts about 3-4 degrees to the left, so that the front sight does not align properly in the notch -- making the apparent accuracy of the pistol more surprising. Crossman is sending me a new front and rear sight set to try. By the way -- the pistol arrived with no front sight; Crossman had to mail me one!

i feel that the adjustible williams sight is quite nice because u can change the settings according to how u shoot also the gun has a varry nice barrel with tight even rifleing that is topped off with a milled aluminum muzzel and a high front post

number one i would change the hand grips because they are made of cheap plastic and they give u a feeling like they slide around on u every once and awhile although this gun shoots varry accurate and i feel that it would be more suited for hard wood hand grips also the breech should be easier to opperate it tends to occasionaly lock up on u and pellets sometimes get caught up in the loading process

the gun has a hair trigger but as long as you are careful i feel that is a good thing because their is less of a chance of you shifting the muzzel as you pull the trigger in conclusion i would say if u want an accurate pistol for a good price the 2300s is where its at

Very accurate. Nice balance.

Very difficult to load. Grips did not fit the gun properly.

Overall I enjoy the gun very much.

Everything

Nothing

its perfect
