Crosman Legacy 1000 Air Rifle

Great gun. Accurate and very powerful! Shot through 8 pieces of cardboard with a bb! People complained on here, but I really like it and it is very durable and heavy weight.

Pumping is a bit hard.

Better with scope

the fiber optics. trigger ok. accurate. fun little plinker. bb mag is nice. the reservoir holds a lot.

not much, got what i paid for

it lives on bb's. several thousand through it so far. the only trouble was the barrel band cracked after thousands of rounds. still shoots great.

large bb resevervoir , fairly accurate , able to put on safe at any time , able to pump without cocking , fiber optic sights

pellet loading is horrible , need a mag system like m417

feels very toy like , lots of flex while pumping , daisy 901 is way better gun imho

Accurate with lead pellets like Crosman Premier Hollow Points and Meisterkugeln 7.0 gr wadcutters.

Make it easier to pump. Make it easier to cock.

From a rest, with BBs the best I could do was 2 and half inch groups from 30 feet. With pellets quarter inch five shot groups. This gun beats you up over time. It is an effort to pump. My fingers got numb from cocking the gun after awhile. There are better multi pump options available. Crosman M4-177 or Daisy 880. Both are fun to shoot and accurate.

Very light rifle ... Accurate and Fun to plink with !!!

Nothing

Great rifle

Very high quality, especially for price. Good accuracy even with kit scope. Light weight is great for small shooters like me, but gun still feels very durable.

Pumping action is firm. Agree with other reviews that pellets are hard to load; highly recommend Crosman brand pellet loader (which works pretty well).

Powerful and lightweight beginner or everyday gun.

Good price . Excellent build quality . Good weight and handling . Accurate with iron sights (didn't try scope)

Easier loading! In my opinion, this airgun was designed to shoot BBs, with pellets a secondary option. Loading it with individual pellets isn't impossible, but it's more difficult than with any other .177 caliber variable pump pneumatic air rifle or pistol I own (and as far as I know, I have all but maybe two or three of any I've found online in about twenty years). After nearly two weeks of regular use, I still am unable to reliably load & shoot one pellet. I can slide-push a pellet to a spot where it rolls into the breech aligned correctly ~65% of the time, vs ~95% with my other airguns, with a tweezer needed to remove and reload backwards-facing and other mis-aligned pellets. When target shooting, I often end up using a tweezer for every pellet. This would be worse outdoors. If it did happen outside, I have a tweezer in my pocket knife that could help, but in my opinion, it just should be simpler. This is the first and only airgun I've ever purchased for which I have this complaint.

The Legacy 1000 is accurate. The front sight is fixed but functional. The adjustable rear sight is of low quality but also functional, pretty much the same as that on other entry-level airguns. Surprisingly (to me), the rifle I received is less powerful than my Winchester 1977xs (about the same as Daisy 880), so it's more difficult to pump than it should be, IMO. I have no chronograph, but each rifle, with Gamo Magnum pellets, was fired four times into four targets across the same 25 slice cardboard trap, the Winchester 1977xs with 3, 6, 9 & 10 pumps & the Crosman with 3, 6, 9 & 12 pumps. The 1977xs shot further in with 3 pumps and through all 25 slices with 6 pumps (went through the 25th but stuck in place), 9 pumps & 10 pumps, while the Legacy 1000 penetrated less with 3 & 6 pumps and through all twenty five only with 9 & 12. The 1977xs pumps up much easier but shoots a good bit harder than my Legacy 1000, so pumping should be as easy or easier or the speed much higher (again, IMO).

Easy to charge . Decent trigger . Good weight . Nice looking . Generally comparable to other entry-level airguns in price and performance

Very difficult to load. Rear sight assembly is awful: to achieve accuracy, mine ended up as high as it could go and so far to the right it was awkward to center the front 'square' in the rear cutout. I read a lot about exceptional power and accuracy in the reviews (my main reason for purchase), but it seemed no more powerful than my other variable pumpers (Crosman, Winchester, Daisy, Umarex and Benjamin). This cost a bit more than my Winchester 1977XS a few months ago, but I discovered I like the 77XS far more. The 77XS seems just as powerful, is just as easy to pump up and the sights allow me to be MUCH more accurate. The worst was loading pellets. A full half of everything I dropped in the feeder ended up backwards or needing adjustment. Unlike every other pumper I own, I could not 'place' pellets in the breech, they had to be dropped. Eventually resorted to tweezers for EVERY pellet! I expected this to surpass my 77XS in performance, so I was very disappointed. Returned for refund.

I'll never complain about loading pellets in my other air rifles again! ;-) I put out about 300 shots today, using a tweezer for every pellet in the Legacy 1000 and putting pellets in my 77XS with my fingers. I muffed ONE pellet in the 77XS and had to adjust it with tweezers, compared to every pellet in the Legacy. Pumping already uses up enough time between shots, so the extra time to load the Crosman is a huge drawback. It was no more accurate than my other air rifles, and I didn't much care for the front sight fiber-optic in the large plastic square. I found it much easier to aim and be accurate with my 77XS than with this rifle, even after many hundreds of rounds and a week of practice. The trigger was slightly better than that on the Winchester, which I fully expected to be replaced as my best .177 plinker/shooter by this air rifle. Not even close -- I like the Winchester much more. Better than Daisy, Umarex and Crosman, close but not quite equal to 77XS. Good but not quite great.

nice , powerful

more metal

hard to beat for the price
