Page 3 - Crosman 362 Multi-Pump Reviews

Good looking rifle with lots of power for my need, also a price point that won't break the bank. I also like the ability to mod this gun.

The length of pull on this gun is for a kid, add an inch or two. The rifle is cumbersome to pump. The off hand has a best spot of the rear grip section which can cause pump arm being bent, a change needs to be looked at here. Crosman needs to put a buffer in the pump arm, this gun is louder than most pumpers.

Had I been able to hold the rifle and shoot it I would not have purchased it. Pretty good for the money though wish I'd have shopped around some.

Everything about it. The feel, look. accuracy,ease of the pump, but most of all the cost!!!!!

Metal breach and sights less slop in the pump .

No better gun for the price. Hits hard. It was spot on out of the box.

Cheap and light weight. And just enough power. Highly customizable

The Crosman 362 definitely needs a steel breech. I mounted a Crosman 3-9 scope using the "intermounts" and the barrel twisted in its' mounting. ( if the barrel is even slightly twisted, the transfer port and sights will be out of alignment. I have a spare steel breech and will install soon.

Considering the loosely mounted barrel, it was still fairly accurate getting .25 inch groups at 10 meters with scope. This is out of the box - no cleaning, no tuning, no pellet selection. Not great accuracy but probably about as good as most guys would get using the open sights. Not real powerful but good enough to get a little over 11 fpe at 25-30 yards - that's enough for occasional pesting or putting squirrel and rabbit in the cook pot. Single loading and pumping between shots would probably rule it out for barn ratting

Easy to pump and super accurate

Offer it in wood!

I was looking for a new pellet gun that was not pellet picky, and this seems to be the one so far. I am in my 60s and like to shoot and this 22 cal. Will put pellet on pellet at 30 + feet shooting crosman 14.3 gr. Pellets, and that's what I wanted... I am going to upgrade to a steel breech and williams peep sight just because... THANKS... Have Not Yet Shot This Out To 30 Yards still have a foot of snow on the ground here...

Nothing...

In my opinion this is multi pump rifle that should not be overlooked, one of the best that I own, and I have many that are 3 + times the cost...

The peep sight is a big plus for me, since I don't like scopes. The aperature size is a nice balance in size between accuracy and light allowance. Pumping effort isn't too bad, a bit easier than the old 22 and 5mm Streak rifles. The stock fits me very well, and the comb is just about perfect for the peep sight. Accuracy is quite good out to about 30 yards. I get dime to nickel sized 5 shots groups at 25yds off a bench with the Crosman 14.3gr pointed pellets at 7 pumps.

The front sight is waaaaaay too wide for precision shooting past 10-15yds. I sanded mine down to .075" and it made it much better shooting at 25 yards. The bolt handle is too small, and bent to hug the stock way too closely, making it nearly impossible to get hold of with gloves on. The trigger is pretty rough; lots of creep and an inconsistent break point.

Velocity is well below the advertised with lead pellets. 642fps is the best I was able to get out of it, and top speeds were down around 600fps with heavier 16-18gr pellets.

I had some surface rust on mine straight out of the box near the end of the barrel and air chamber.

Overall, it's still a fairly nice pumper for the price, given how rare 22 multi-pumps are these days.

I purchased this airgun to replace a more expensive Hatsan that didn't last 50 shots. With the pump, I can vary the power according to what I'm doing. The gun is much lighter and handier than the Hatsan and more fun to shoot, although it doesn't hit as hard. Of course, a gun that won't shoot doesn't hit at all. The best thing is the price, half that of the Hatsan. Also, it has a short length of pull which I prefer in low powered rifles.

GUN WEIGHT AND BALANCE IS NICE. LONG PUMP ARM MAKES PUMPING A LITTLE EASIER. TRIGGER WAS GOOD FOR AN OUT OF THE BOX GUN. ACCURACY WAS GOOD WITH IRON SIGHTS . PRICE WAS REASONABLE. SYNTHETIC STOCK KEPT WEIGHT DOWN.

TRIGGER CAN BE IMPROVED. ADDITION OF STEEL BREECH TO ALLOW USE OF A SCOPE . INCREASE LENGTH OF PULL OF STOCK. I FOUND IT A LITTLE SHORT FOR ME.

I ADDED A CROSMAN STEEL BREECH TO MINE ALONG WITH A HAMMERS 3-9X40 AO SCOPE. THIS HELPED ME DIAL IN THE ACCURACY ONCE I SETTLED ON THE MY PELLET SELECTION. I PERFORMED A LITTLE TRIGGER WORK AND NOW IT IS LIGHT AND SHORT. I ALSO REMOVED THE FRONT SIGHT BLADE AND ADDED A SLIP ON MODERATOR FROM BUCKRAIL AND NOW ITS QUIET TOO. I DIDN'T SPEND A TON ON THIS AND I NOW HAVE A FUN EXTREMELY ACCURATE SHOOTER. I'M VERYHAPPY WITH IT!

I absolutely love this rifle. This is a no brainer. First thing I did was install the steel breech. Now I can put a red dot or a scope on it. So far I have only pumped it 3 times and its rather than 8x. Very affordable and accurate. How can you go wrong ? $ 99.00 Hurry and buy one you won't be disappointed.

Nothing

Longer pump arm makes it easier to pump and it's 22 caliber.

The fact that I bought it.

If you get the steel breech option you will have to purchase an extremely over priced rear sight.

Light weight. Accurate. Not hard to pump

Metal sights instead of plastic. Rear sight with a geared windage/ elevation adjustment capability. Steel breech instead of plastic for scope mount.

This is a fairly well built rifle that is a joy to shoot and has some good thump to it. Be careful adjusting the rear sights. I stripped the plastic elevation with the metal screw. Had to install a bigger screw. Wish I had ordered the steel breech with the rifle. I have since ordered the steel breech and will get it installed and mount my cvlife 3x9x30 compact scope.

Light weight, accuracy is good @30 yards and the steel breech option

Have it with a steel breech

Rifle is excellent cheap and perfect for what it cost. I cant wait till we get some mods going for this hopefully everything that fits my 1322 can be used on this 362 if thats the case then this thing will be one of a kind

Composite stock. Scratch and weather resistant. Slim profile Easier pumping than the 397/392 Light weight Power: 12-15ft/lbs depending on pellets and number of pumps Peep site instead of traditional iron sites

Steel breech option from the factory that isnt An Pyramyd extra add on. Plastic breech. Seems fine but cant Imagine there isnt Some slop where the barrel interfaces with the breech. Would be great to have the option for a threaded barrel for a moderator but that would be icing on the cake.

Get the steel breech and put a small scope on for best accuracy.
Best pellets to try:
Air arms 15.8g (pcp accuracy at 20 yds)
Assume JSB 15.8g would be similar but havent tried
JSB 13 g
Crosman pointed better accuracy than the domes.
JSB 18.1g work ok but not as tight as the above.

Not backyard friendly. But what multipump is?

Probably the Most accurate multipump Ive Ever owned. Even better than the old school Benjamins From Racine, WI days. That is saying a lot.

Very accurate, well built rifle and light weight.

Plastic sights are poorly designed. Sights should be metal with dial for windage and elevation.

If you're looking for a well built low price pumper that's dead accurate , buy now I do recommend the steel breech upgrade. I did not upgrade and having a hard time finding aftermarket parts to install a scope.

This rifle is an incredible value. Tack driving accuracy out of the box (Literally... didn't even touch the sights!) Shoots straighter than I can. Only shot 14.3 Crosman pellets but they have enough wallop to kill what I shoot, so probably won't look for another pellet. The open sights are better than I am. The stock is plastic but feels sturdy and fits well enough. Easy to pump and I like the variable power a multi pump provides. Shoots better than my Benjamin 392PA.

Nothing at this price. Really. If I could have everything I wanted for a dream pumper I would put a walnut stock on this that was 1" longer and a fiber optic front post. That will be the extent of my modifications, but I would gladly pay another $50 to have those two things from the factory, or at least a hardwood stock of some sort.

There is a great supply of parts, both factory and aftermarket, that will fit this gun. I was all ready to order a bunch with an extra $200 to spend. After shooting this in stock form I've decided to leave it stock and invest that extra in other guns. If you are on the fence with this purchase, just pull the trigger. If you get half the gun I did you will be very satisfied!

The price, the quality, very solid

Nothing major, maybe a piece of felt to make the pump arm quieter

Great value and a lot of fun

Unexpected accuracy out of the box, From a standing Biathlon stance at 10,15,20 meters every shot would trip my resettable Field targets. Very good power for near level pellet travel at five pumps out to 20 meters. Easy to pump to six pumps with seven and eight taking some effort. Only three pumps for excellent 10 meter target work, Two pumps pushed my Crosman pointed pellets through a soda can.

Crosman should offer a factory steel breech 362 with wood stock and forearm as I like many would definitely pay the premium.

Solid construction, light weight, slim profile, seems accurate so far.

Length of pull is a little short. I would also like to see a slimmer front sight blade and/or a high-vis front sight. Lastly I would use a trigger blade with less curl to it, but none of these things are deal breakers (and all are likely easy to rectify).

This gun is the first really new design in an MSP gun from Crosman in a looong time! Does it use some parts-bin engineering? Sure, but it seems to be well executed. And while I have not shot over the chrony yet, it hits the target with authority! I gave it only four stars for accuracy, but only because I have not taken the time to really run it through the wringer. So far seems to group well with CPHP, which are the only pellets I have tried (so far). The stock feels nice and solid, and really does not sound hollow at all. Even my trigger feels reasonable and serviceable, if a bit gritty. My plan was to mod this gun into a .177, but it seems like such a good one (so far) that I may need a second one for modding! If you are on the fence and are having trouble deciding whether or not you need one of these, just smash the buy button already! Come on in, the water is fine!!!

Great little pumper! So much fun to roll cans spin spoons plinking away with the satisfying smack of .22 caliber. Right out of the box after minor rear sight adjustment, the 362 shoots a nice tight group using Crosman hollowpoint 14.3gr pellets. I like that it packs a wallop using only 3 pumps. Pumping the full 8 pumps gives plenty of high energy punch for varmints, but I mostly plink and target shoot. Solid construction, nice feel, accurate, with ease of pumping and loading. Happy camper here!

Minor complaints: 1. the pump arm makes a loud thwack when it closes against the air chamber when pumping. I added some stick-on felt and rubber tape to soften the impact. I am debating whether to fill the pump arm cavity with expanding insulation foam. 2. It would be nice to have a fiber optic front sight.

This little pumper will bring lots of satisfaction to any shooter and is destined to become a classic favorite for young and old. The perfect grab-n-go air rifle.
