Page 2 - Crosman 2300T Reviews

What impresses me the first is the precision of this gun. My experience is limited, but I didn't expect this kind of precision from a gun in this price range. It is a beautiful and nice looking gun that has a solid "expensive" feel to it. It also has great power but still a comfortable sound level.

If the plastic side grips were a bit thicker (not wider but thicker material), they would probably feel less cheap. The trigger is terrible and creeps a lot before the shot comes. This pulls down the overall rating from 5 to 4 stars. (The trigger alone gets 1 star)

Even though this gun is capable serving as a beginners competition gun due to its great precision, the crappy trigger mechanism makes it almost useless for this purpose. However, it seems like there are quite a lot of modification options available for this gun so it can be fixed. I haven't replace my trigger, but instead I got used to the creep. I press the trigger slowly until it has creeped three "clicks", then I know that the next press will fire.

Feels really nice and balanced in my hand. This is my first air pistol and am shooting better than anticipated.

This is a great pistol to start competition shooting with. The accuracy is very good and much better than the shooter right now.

Overall the gun in general seems very well built. I like the adjustable trigger, it was a bit gritty at the start but smoothed out about halfway through the first cartridge. Sights are good, but my old eyes I have a choice...see sights or see target. A red dot is in this things future.

Only thing I don't care for is the trigger stop screw, it is pretty sharp and I have a habit of scratching my finger during the loading of the pistol.

There is quite a bit of crying about the grips. Yes they are plastic and they have a "cheap" feel to them, but they really do fit my hand well. I have grips on my Ruger Mk2 that don't feel like they fit MY hand as well as these do. I think this is going to be a good pistol for practice for me.

GLAD I PURCHASED THE CROSMANN 23OOT. I AM A STARTER FOR PISTOL SHOOTING. THE PRICE POINT IS VERY GOOD FOR ME TO FIND OUT IF I AM GOING TO LIKE THIS TYPE OF SHOOTING. IT SEAMS VERY WELL MADE AND I'M HOPING FOR THE BEST IN MY FIRST COMPETITION.

NOTHING AT THIS POINT

I 'M DISABLED, I DON'T FEEL I'M A GOOD REPRESENTATIVE AT THIS TIME FOR A FAIR REVIEW. WE WILL JUST HAVE TO SEE

It looks great, feels natural in my hands, is quite accurate and has a not bad trigger.

Nothing, especially at this reasonable price.

I am 70 years old, Retired Army and a life long pistol shooter. I shoot at our club range at least once a week, and I hunt with a handgun at every opportunity. I currently own and shoot the Maurader .22 pistol,Crosman's pcp silhouette .177 pistol and Crosman's 1720T pcp .177 pistol.....and I love them all. I purchased this 2300T because I wanted a gun for quick trips without the big air tank.....and I was curious to see how it stacked up against my other guns. In a word, I am delighted with the 2300T. It comes from the same basic design as the others in the higher priced models and shares the same pleasant shooting characteristics. As you spend more money, you get more "refinements". The trigger on the 2300"T is not quite as nice, but it is still just fine. It is only slightly less accurate than the high priced guns. I have been shooting golf balls and empty shotgun hulls from 20 yards and a standing position....and I hit more than I miss. This pistol is a great deal. Buy one.

It is made of metal,except for the front sight and the grips...

Let's put it this way, things I have changed to my liking....First off I wanted more power, I changed the barrel to 18 inch, added a power valve, heavier hammer spring and a longer probe. Then added wood grips, red laser. This pellet gun shoots very hard, I shoot at tin cans 50 feet away, it goes right in the can with a loud sound...

I use Winchester flat nose for paper target shooting and pointed Metalmag for shooting tin cans...This pistol can be modified and worked on very easily, you can purchase parts for it and upgrades from folks on Eaby...

Nice feel and very nice crisp clean trigger

better sights

the 2300t that I got would NOT pierce the co2 tubes even when useing a large screwdriver. after I took the co2 tube out it was over 5 minutes before the co2 ran out

Great accuracy! Good quality metal parts, where it counts except for the front sight.

Could use higher quality front sight, rear sight could use a greater elevation adjustment.

Good quality CO2 pistol, fun to shoot.

Nice Trigger..Well balanced also.The micro site seems nice...Quiet also.Its so quiet it seems kinda weak but i believe its shooting some good fps...

The hand grips

I first got it i loaded it up and it was so quiet compared to the 2240 i thought it was weak but i dont have a crony so one of these days ill have to get one or shoot at something and compare..

Like the gun and ordered it because of my satisfaction with the 2240.

Adjusted the trigger as light as possable, still not as good as the 2240.

Dissapointed as compared to the 2240, especially at more than twice the price. Was expecting something really nice.

The Crosman 2300T both looks and feels like a well designed pistol. Both the trigger stop and trigger pull adjustments worked very well. Liked very much that the CO2 cartridge did not loose any gas when being installed.

Painted the rear surface of the front sight white which made it easier for me to sight it in. Something other than plastic grips would have made this gun both feel and look more expensive.

Initially had a problem with the rear sight being positioned far to the right of the center line of the pistol. Apparently, this was caused by the barrel being installed in a slightly clock-wise direction to the center line of the pistol. After contacting Crosman customer service, I fixed the problem within a couple of minutes by loosening two set screws, rotating the barrel counter-clockwise, re-tightening the set screws and re-sighting the pistol.

This is now the most accurate air pistol I own. It's easy to shoot, quieter than most CO2's and gets an unbelievable number of shots per cartridge. It has quickly become my favorite for targets and plinking.

One of my grips shift very slightly.

This model does have both trigger adjustments (weight & travel) just like the 2300S. Some descriptions make it sound like it does not have the trigger/sear spring adjustment under the grip panel, when in fact it does.

Under a dime groups at 10 yds out of the box. Shoots better than I can hold. Steel breech and good trigger from the factory. I hate buying an airgun and then having to spend more for aftermarket fixes. Didnt have to with this airpistol.

Not much

35-40 regulated shots per co2 cartridge

Steel breech and good trigger right out of the box. Holds CO2 pressure well with no noticeable leaking. Installed a 2 power scope. 200 shots and accuracy seems is improving. Nickel size groups at 10 yds which I think is good with my poor hold.

Not much.

If I did it again I would have ordered a shoulder stock with the airgun.

Value... You get a lot for your money. A short steel breech,steel bolt with threaded bolt handle, LPA mim sight, adjustable trigger assembly, adjustable trigger stop, all on the 22xx platform. In other words a Custom Shop pistol without the wait!

Nothing!

The pistol comes double boxed. The inner box has the foam padding just like you would get from the Crosman Custom Shop.

Really nice trigger quiet accurate good balance. Has steel breach. I added a red dot sight so I don't need the rear sight but I did try it.

Better rear sight can not be brought on target. Shoots high.

Just get one have a ball

the trigger on mine was nice and smooth. grips on the small side which made a major help for my son ans wife. accuracy= easily shot out the quarter size center 10x at 7yrds shooting off hand. I took the H&N Finale' match pistol pellets

white front shight blade for black NRA targets... really "CHANGe" NOTHING on the one i GOT

Some chronic complaints of aim TOO HIGH and rear sight not lowering enough. WELL... I wondered why a $38 rear would be difunctional. I set mine ALL the way DOWN then started shooting away. Perfection I got a good one. chewed out the 10x white out on the front blade was a GREAT help Great pistol good on co2 no premature suprises

This is my first pistol. The accuracy/precision is very good, better than I expected. The balance is nice and not too light or heavy. The grips are adequate. The sights are good, windage adjustment is nice. This gun is quieter than expected and is fun to shoot. A well made gun and a good purchase.

The rear sight dovetail could be cut better/closer. Mine is not that tight and may be why it shoots a little high even when elevation is at lowest setting. I would like to see more aftermarket parts for this gun. Grips, maybe sights. Maybe in 22 cal.

Others claim looseness so I degreased the rear sight before mounting it. Rear sight rises slightly when fully tightened down. Slight gap between base of sight and barrel. This could be cut better and is probably why shoots slightly high group, about 1/3 inch, but precision is good. So far has held nicely after about 150 shots. My barrel screws were not as tight as I like so i gently tightened them carefully. Likes RWS Superdomes at 10 yds. All groups are within a quarter. Some tighter depending on how tired my eyes get. I fabricated a hood for the front sight and seems to help. Gently load pellets, don't force. Mine likes H+N Baracudas (10.46g) also, but I don't get as many accurate shots per cartridge as superdomes do, but precision is very good and group lowers slightly. Doesn't like crow magnum pellets, have to force a little.

accurate, good quality, nice feel,

nothing of significance

fantastic gun,accurate,easy to use,well made,great youth starter gun for competition

grips could be a little better made for the price

with the rear sight down all the way gun still shoots high,i will call crosman about this,maybe i just got a dud rear sight
