Crosman Legacy 1000 Reviews

Fairly accurate out of the box. Cheap

Build quality and caliber.

After a few months of use, this pellet gun requires more parts to fix it than it is worth. The pump rod seem to be the main culprit. It is very poorly finished and rubs against the pump tube leaving aluminum debris in the tube which, ruins the pump cup and the valve.

I tried the scope, I didn't like it, I can hit dead nuts without it. So why have it? But the the gun is very powerful, it's the most powerful BB gun I've ever had, and I'm 62I just buy it cause I have a large piece of property. I live on salt water. I don't kill any snakes if they're non venomous, I let them do their job, but if I see a cotton mouth, his a** is dead. Or a water moccasin

Doesn't need a scope , a good one would be too expensive

I known the receiver is plastic but it's surprisingly sturdy. It has good power. Basically it is as as strong as the older 2100 classic. It is a lot of gun for the money.

For the money not much. Would be nice if it came in wood grain. Also a .22 version would be nice.

When you first start shooting you will be disappointed in the accuracy. You will need to clean the barrel and shoot it frequently. It took about 100 pellets and 3-4 good cleanings to get the gun to start shooting accurately. Once I got the break in period done it shoots one ragged hole at 10 yards. Best pellets I have found has been 10.3 FX.

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).
