670 feet per second with 10.03 grain HN Pellet = 10 Food Pounds of Muzzle Energy

I'm waiting for a Deluxe version with a gold trigger and screw-on metal sight, for easy adjustment, handling and replacement.

Very Light, Very Accuracy... It reminds me my .22 Bob Cat from the seventies. I liked Sheridan 2260MB so much that I bought 2.

Great gun for the money! Bring back all of the .20 cal Sheridan rifles and pistols

I have to say I can't describe how perfect this rifle fits my body. The bolt throw is smooth, the trigger is crip. There isn't a huge fiberoptic dot on the front sight. Just a perfect single shot target rifle. With a silky smooth stock, and crip iron sights. Out of the box this rifle is dead on accurate. I can hold dime sized 5rd groups easily at 10 yards. (My personal range is small)

-The trigger is plastic... (cold climate concern) -Loading a CO2 capsule is tedious. -A magazine or faster way to load pellets -The rifle feels and handles like so many Crosman rifles except the safety is behind the trigger. (This trips me up every time.) -the stock will move (forward or back) from the action when the bolt is cycled. (I may bed the action to the stock to prevent this.)

This rifle is awesome, and well made. It is endless fun to shoot targets.

I did not have any problem using the order form on the internet. I received my gun in perfect order and on time. I ordered a Sheridan 2260MB, in 22cal.,CO2 powered. I had read the previews and did a real good job of cleaning the barrel. I also had read that the rear sight was cheep. But my first 3 shots were touching the red bulls eye and after about 20 shots a day for a week or so, a total of about 80 , the CO2 is still the first I put in. The rear sight is just that, a cheep good working sight I would not change because it works.

Everything is fine , the stock is as well done as I have ever seen on an air gun.

Well worth the money. I did pay for the "10 for 10" test and the one year extended warraty. It still had the old time quality of Sheridan.

Excellent product, continues the famous Sheridan name for air guns.

History of Sheridan airguns.

Great little shooter for the money !

That it would come with a scope !

o Lightweight o Great handling o Very Accurate o Exceptional iron sights o Beautiful wood stock

Change nothing, but I'd love to see Sheridan add some things: another CO2 cartridge, so I could use two for more shooting or one full cartridge and one empty when time is short. Also, add to the rifle as delivered the capability to utilize multi-pellet magazines, with one included and more available.

What a wonderful air rifle! The Sheridan 2260MB is lightweight, well-balanced, handles very nicely and is exceptionally easy to shoot. It sounds a bit corny, but It feels natural and 'right' in my hands. The built-in sights are some of the best I've seen on any type of rifle and I really like them: aiming is easy and the rifle (perfectly sighted in on arrival) is extremely accurate. Even the single-cartridge CO2 system works great and I was surprised to find there's practically no wasted gas when it stops shooting, typically after ~30 shots or so, although the last few often either fail to completely penetrate or they bounce back from the targets pasted on the front of my multi-sheet, cardboard pellet traps. The wood stock has a somewhat unusual and interesting shape and is finished very well, so on top of everything else it's also easy on the eyes. It's absolutely one of my favorites in a collection of eight, including four .177 and three other .22 caliber and I recommend it highly.

2260MB has a Steel Breech with a REAR Breech Screw that means the breech screw doesn't interfere, and Damage the pellet shirt when racking the bolt and pushing a Pellet into the breech. Light weight, pretty accurate out of the Box But Has a Lot More potential for Much better accuracy. Good Gun for the Money, this Gun can be changed to the Owners desire. Love the Wood Stock.

During assembly the Barrel Band was Mis adjusted, Both the Top and the Bottom screws were Way To Tight on the barrel Band, The bottom screw should be remove and two set screws above the c02 tube to keep the up as high as possible, this will straighten the barrel spacing. The Top screw also to provide Proper spacing between Barrel and CO2 tube was Not consistent, barrel was much Lower where the barrel band mounts due to this mis adjustment/mounting. Trigger Can be really good and Much Lighter pull weight this increases Accuracy, two screws can be added to the trigger and a little smoothing here and there to turn the trigger into a Really Nice Light Much Smoother and shorter trigger Pull.

I have a Tapco for a Ruger 10/22 Earth colored Stock, This is a Tactical looking stock it has a Rail under the front of the barrel, and a 5 position adjustable Length of Pull Butte stock, The 2260MB slides down almost all the way into the stock, a little bit of grinding on the stock and it should be a good fit, 2260mb feels good in that stock. I added a Gravmags 10 shot Gravity Fed Magazine to my 2260MB so i can load 10 shots, and shoot 10 shots as Fast as i can Rack the Bolt and pull the trigger, Nice Not to feed only one Pellet at a time. This has become a GOOD Pest rifle now with the 10 shot Magazine it provides a Fast follow up shot, add a TKO and it is Quiet enough.

I have always wanted a 2260MB, Pros: Liked size of rifle, wood stock, CONs This Gun Has some Problems, and Pyramyd Air ALSO had some PROBLEMS as their 10 shots for $10, was a Big Problem, My 10 for $10 shot tape says shot 1, FPS at 427 fps, shot 10 was at 442fps so this gun is Shooting Very Slow fps as they did NOT use the Heavier pellet as, the 10 for $10 SHOT CARD says weight of pellet was MIS marked as a .177 cal at 7 grn this is wrong, as the 2260MB ONLY shoots .22 cal. the Hobby pellet in 22 cal is approx a 13.89 grn so at 430 to 440 fps it is VERY SLOW so a problem there. Trigger Very stiff at 2nd stage.

Problems with my 2260MB out of the box. Barrel Band bottom mounting bolt is tightened down to max. this causes the Barrel END to get PULLED down and shoot LOW, this can be seen by looking at the SPACING between the Barrel and the CO2/air Tube, when looking at up by the breech the spacing is Much Wider then it is nearer the Muzzle end. i took out the barrel band bolt and the barrel spacing was corrected , i will buy a Barrel Spacer from crosman 2260 to add to this sheridan version that doesnt have the barrel spacer. Black Painted Barrel (Not Bluing) has Many scratches, sharpe covers it, Sights are terrible,

I bought GravMags Front and Rear Sights Front is a TruGlo Green fiber optic that provides a Very STURDY mount, and Rear sight is Dovetail Mounted and adjust for both windage and Elevation, I also Bought GravMags 10 shot Gravity Fed Magazine that mounts directly to the Dovetail mounts in the Breech. This provides a 10 shot magazine that is Very easy to load even with a scope mounted. I bought the 10 shots for $10 This provided a Glimpse into my gun, Looking at the description, "Using an 18.2-grain lead pellet, our tech department achieved 515 f.p.s. After settling down, our test gun consistently shot 500 f.p.s. with this heavier ammo and had a standard deviation of only 5 f.p.s. Very few guns have such a low standard deviation. my 10 for $10 shot tape says shot 1 FPS at 427 fps, shot 10 was at 442fps so this gun is Shooting Very Slow fps as they did NOT use the Heavier pellet as the weight of pellet was MIS marked as a .177 cal at 7 grn this is wrong,as the 2260MB ONLY shoots .22 cal.
