Crosman 2260SE Reviews

No startling observations. However, everything you read is true. This is a great little carbine: very accurate and light. Everyone can have fun with this rifle. It is very easy to shoot well. It is no 50 yard rifle. Keep your targets within 30 (maybe 40) yards and it is great. Also don’t expect it to go 40 yards when it is 49 degrees outside. This power envelope is not a disadvantage in a suburban environment or other locations where the open space is limited to small parcels of land. Every Air gunner should have one of these. Friends new to the sport will get instant success using this rifle…. We all are ambassadors of air gunning. The scope that comes with it is a great match for the gun and all that is needed given the power level.

The open sites are a waste. The trigger is o.k.

I am an oddity. I have gone from Mercedes to Corvettes, and RWS to Crosman. Nitro Piston baby...

Ease of use, weight, accuracy.

More flexibility in mounting the scope. For my comfortable shooting position I had to have the rings gripping the very edge of the grooves. I would also like the ability to lighten the trigger pull. A device (such as the one for the Ruger LGR) whereby one could remove the CO2 cartridge without losing alll the gas. would be great.

Manufacturing quality control seems to be non-existant. The bolt was immoveable by hand. The service agent at Pyramid Air suggested I take a hammer to it. This did release the bolt and I got about 50 shots before the entire bolt mechanism failed totally. I am awaiting a replacement.

Once sighten in w/ scope it's very accurate

Quality of the gun itself

Without the scope you'd be lucky to hit the side of a barn from the inside. Front sight cocked left 15 degrees. Flimsy rear sight bent and made of very thin material so you could bend it back if you wanted to. I wouldn't recommend this gun with iron sights only. Go with the scope or something else all together.

Sweet shooting gun. Nice balance & fairly quiet.

Rear sight is way too sharp edged & cheap looking for an otherwise excellent gun.

This gun is really great and super fun. It had the power i wanted for small game such as rabbits and squirrels. it will get the job done at around 20-25 yards. This gun was easy to sight in. i got and average of 30 shots before the co2 began to show signs of weakness. Get the 2260se instead of the 2260. the 2260se has better open sights, and a steel breech for mounting optics.also comes with a 6x32 rgb scope.

bulk fill option

if you use this gun to hunt, keep it below 30 yards and keep with you a couple of co2 cartridges. ( this gun uses 12 gram co2)

I like the co2 feature. I can shoot forever with a few cartridges and a tin of ammo. It seems to be be a very accurate gun out to about 33yds. I bought the package w/ the scope. A few slight adjustments and it was on target. I'm from central PA and it is now too cold to further work on sighting it in. Did I say it was freezing out? Oh yea, It looks like a pellet rifle. I have yet to bag any starlings with this fellow. But I am anxiously awaiting spring.

Nothing

Seems to be a good value for the money. It is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. I have a Benjamin pump, a Discoverer, and a Marauder, all .22 cal. I like the extra weight for knock down power. They are all great guns,however the ease of changing cartridges versus pumping the air resevoir of all the others is a definate plus.

Just what I wanted - simple, accurate, low cost per shot.

Ever wonder way the USA has lost the edge in manufacturing? Crosman has a great product line but the quality is crap. Poor finish, scratched scope, forgot to the scope rings.

We all need to bug Crosman to improve on their quality. If Ford Motor can get it Crosman should also.

I bought and recieved mine in late Nov/Early Dec 2009,and have been shooting it since then.It is everythihg i had hoped for and more.I have taken 3 doves and 5 pidgeons with the gun.All one shot kills out to about 37 yards.This is a great little small game gun and i would recommend it to all interested parties.

Bulk fill CO2 option

If you buy it and don't like it you probably don't like fun airguns.Buy one of these and try it out,you'll probably love it as much as i do mine.To all-enjoy...

Nice hardwood stock, accurate, light trigger.

Rear sight is terrible. Just a bendable blade, not adjustable for elevation or windage.

I received my 2260SE with a bad scope, and scratches all over the bluing. (as if it were cut multiple times with a razor knife while someone was opening a box) If it weren't for the bad scope, and poor condition of the rifle I received, I would have given it 5 stars.

Very accurate! Light weight. real wood. fun to shoot.

I like the stock it is real wood but could be more refined, This Is a nice little airgun crossman has they could really make it something with just a better looking stock and more power this thing would be great! All in all though it is worth the money and fun to shoot.

This gun Is accurate! I have mine shot in at 25 yrds with beeman silver bear hi impact hollow points and it groups very very well! I have a airforce condor and a rws 350 and this 2260 will shoot right with them in the accuracy department at 30 yrds or closer. the 2260 shoots around 600 fps with the silver bears over my crony, test was done at 68 degrees. Not as powerful as some guns but if your looking for accuracy, a good priced gun and enough power from 30 yrds and in this is a good gun to look at!! Very accurate!

Great power, superb accuracy, lightweight, no pumping - just load and shoot. This is my favorite air rifle to date. It makes good use of CO2 and worked like a charm right out of the case. I just can't say enough about this airgun; it's awesome!

The price compared to the 2260. I got the 2260SE soley for the steel breach; I didn't need the super scope (it IS excellent, though). The $90 price difference just to get the desired steel breach wasn't cool. The 2260 should be the same airgun without the scope, but that's Crosman's issue not PyramidAir.

Despite the price difference, this is still a quality airgun with a great scope. The real wood stock and mostly metal parts give this rifle a nice look. The pellets are a little difficult to load with the scope attached but I use it mostly with open sites, target shooting in my garage. Without the scope, the pellets are a breeze to load.

Stock, accuracy WOW!!, power

For the money there should have been a metal trigger and guard, the gun is twice the price of the base model, a metal tigger and guard is not too much to ask

I have been shooting for 30 plus years and I am really IMPRESSED with this Air Gun

Easy to load and shoot, light weight, no cocking the barell or pumping. This is a great gun for my wife when we are target shooting.

Nothing.

The first rifle they sent me was no good. The stock was cut for the barrel chanel off center. At the top of the stock by the barrel had 1/8" on one side and 3/8" on the other. The back sight was bent way over from the shipping. I paid the 10$ for the 10 for 10 test and how they never seen this is beyond me. I sent it back and in about 10 days I received the replacement. The second gun was perfect in every respect. It just makes me mad that I paid the 10$ extra and still received a defective gun (The first one). If I ever decided to order another gun I will not pay the 10$ and just take my chances.

very accurate, powerful light , easy to shoot and use for anyone . the weight of the gun is just right for a long day of small game hunting in the woods, i use crosmans premier hollow points and get 1/2 inch groups at around 25 yds

not a thing at all....

if out hunting have a few co2's on hand

Light weight,VERY accurate,Good looking,powerful for a co2 gun, fairly quiet, FUN & easy to shoot!!

As it is sold,nothing! You can make your own mods. yourself!

I purchased my 2260 from Pyramidair and added the steel breech& Bug Buster scope myself making my 2260 identicle to this 2260se. I also recently added a Bryan & Associates Boss valve & get an HONEST 600+ f.p.s.!! This is a super fun gun& very accurate& well suited for SMALL game hunting out to about20 yards. It is a real bargain at this price vrs. putting one together yourself!! Tim in S.C. AKA Dragonslayer.

As with the 1760 SE this is a fine little rifle. Very accurate @ 20 yds. my groups averaged under 3/4 of an inch and seems to like almost any pellet. At 20 yds. it shot circles around the QB 78 family of rilfes even their competition rifle. The trigger is a little creepy but if you have any knowledge of how they work it is easy to install screw adjustments for freeplay and sear engagement (use caution here you can easily make it too sensitive) it is not necessary to do this as the trigger is easy enough work with and fine for normal shooting and hunting. Fit and finish are quite nice as well, good bluing and nice finish on the stock . I give it a thumbs up all the way

None, don't mess with success.

When hunting with this rifle use common sense. Head shots are a must with this rifle. (as with most all CO2 guns) on squirrel and rabbit sized game. If you can't get close enough for a good clean head shot, by all means let him go till the next time, he'll be back. kw
