Crosman Outdoorsman 2250XE

Previous reviews mentioned poor quality of the wood finish. However, my gun was flawlessly made. Gorgeous to look at, light enough to shoot for hours, and more accurate than I could have expected. I'm shooting at 25 yards and only my lack of skill keeps me from getting quarter-size hits. On a rifle rest (which I use to sight in the scope), I can consistently hit the bulls-eye of a paper target. Fairly quiet and no kick. Very easy to load. I think the trigger is actually better than that of my Beeman R7 rifle, which is known to have a superb trigger. I'm getting 30+ accurate shots from one CO2 cartridge. I'm using Crosman Premiere Ultra Magnum pellets and honestly there is no reason for me to ever change. I sold the included Centerpoint 3-9x32 scope to get one of higher magnification and because the crosshairs of the Centerpoint were somewhat fuzzy when using the illumination feature. Nice of Crosman to include a high set of rings because they were definitely needed. The only issue was that the handle was a bit loose and tightening the two screws which attach it to the stock didn't do the trick. I called Crosman, whose Customer Service is excellent (no wait time, informed tech support person)). She told me what to do and the fix took about two minutes. As for buying from PyramydAir, I got delivery in two days with free shipping. Rifle was packed extraordinarily well.

Crosman should include a better quality scope. The one it comes with (a Centerpoint 3-9x32) sells for just $50 at PyramydAir, which tells you something of its quality. I would also like to see the safety automatically engaged after each shot. Lastly, Crosman should improve their quality control, in that they should never have packed my gun without checking the handle first and tightening it before packing and mailing it.

Overall, a phenomenal rifle -- light, accurate, and beautiful.

Good trigger pull from the box, reasonable FPS; however, needs power mods to use for small game hunting.

Better stock valve and scope should be mounted for this price.

This thing is very light weight which is nice. The stock is a little loose on the bottom of the pistol grip, I plan to install an additional through hole bolt to eliminate this.

I love this little rifle. It is a serious shooter disguised as a work of art. I smile every time I look at it. Its light weight and serviceable scope are perfect for the strength and vision impaired (read old) shooter. Fit and finish are outstanding.

Not really a design flaw, but those with fat or stiff fingers may experience some frustration trying to load pellets.

This is my go-to rifle for backyard target shooting. Lots of fun, quiet, accurate, and a pleasure to hold. Wishing you safe shooting.

Extremely accurate. At 15 yards, 15 shots inside ~3/4", with 2 outliers. Almost boring, it's so good!

Stock arrived with a big crack; basically, it was in two pieces. Crosman replaced it, no questions asked in less than a week (although the 2nd one was hard to fit).

If you clean the barrel, then take about 30 shots as you center the scope (easy to do if you're as sloppy about it as me), this will be an extremely accurate & fun rifle.

I find this carbine very accurate with several brands of pellets. My favorites are the Crosman hollow points. My stock was beautiful and arrived without a nick or scratch... impeccable. The scope included goes well and does not leave you feeling like you need to upgrade. Its great that Crosman has included an extra set of high rings in case the lower ones are too difficult for some people to load pellets or bring the scope to the proper eye level. I did not have this problem and am currently using the rings included with the scope.

nothing.

Let me start off by saying that i almost didn't get this gun due to some lackluster reviews on the accuracy and the quality of the stock. Glad it was the reviews that were inaccurate rather than the 2250XE. I took the gun to our range and had the scope dialed in within ten shots. After that 25 yard shots off of a rest will be in the red to the point of boredom. For a real challenge you need to shoot without a rest. If you are an Olympic match shooter perhaps you should move on but for the rest of humanity this gun is nothing but fun son!

Easy to load. Fun to shoot. Accurate.

Nothing

Contrary to other reviews I have read, my Crosman 2250XE came with the skeleton stock in excellent condition. Also, the blueing on all metal parts was perfect. The scope worked perfectly. After only six shots I was able to sight the rifle in to dead center using a shooting bag at 45 feet. I got the best results using Crosman SSP pointed pellets in 9.5 grains. This is one of the most accurate rifles I have purchased. When I ordered this rifle it was out of stock and I waited a considerable time to receive it. Since receiving mine I have noticed they are again out of stock. This rifle is well worth the wait.

I really like the compact size of this rifle. Simple to use. The style and shape are pretty cool. The quality of the finish on mine was particulary detailed and professional looking. So far nothing i dont like about it. Seems to be accurate as well.

Not really anything i guess...maybe offer a nice carrying case with it?? And knock some off the price, but really a good value in my opinion.

This rifle is an eye catcher for sure. Everytime i have it out somone wants to check it out a little closer. Be prepared to take time out to chat a little with your fellow marksman.

I LIKE HOW IT LOOKS

FPS

IT'S NICE BUT LIGHT HOWEVER I OREDER MINE ON 6/25/11 EXCELLENT DELIVERY AND PACKING WHEN I OPEN THE BOX I WAS MISSING THE SCOPE. PYRAMYD CUSTOMER SERVICE PASS THE BUCK,SAID TO CALL CROSMAN I DID, CROSMAN CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID WE SEND YOU A SCOPE. 7/15/11 269.00 IN THE HOLE NO SCOPE YET STILL WAITING.....

{ watched the PyramidAir review by the young and talented airgun reviewer. I do however find her review not nearly as accurate as I have found the gun. After a few adjustments on the scope I was able to cover a dime at 13 paces. More than 30 yds. Fun to shoot, and I would suggest the young markswoman use her shoulder while shooting, and not use it as a pistol. I would put 35 pellets in my pocket and replace the gas cylinder at that time.

Just love it.

Needs an adapter for the larger CO2 then it would be a 10.

Well the one i have runs out of CO2 after forty shots no big deal but a bigger CO2 would help. all i would need is an adapter for the larger CO2.
