Page 3 - Crosman Diamondback SBD Reviews

Powerful - (I am used to UK - Sub 12Ft/Lbs. limited) - Mine is the US Spec, 1100 FPS with 0,22 Cal. Pretty accurate except as others mentioned the Centrepoint scope that shipped with mine was junk. I put a Nikko 6-12 x 50 and it is much better. Build quality was not as good as expected (I have the Crosman 766 the 761XL and the 1322 - all are better made) After barely breaking it in, between 100-200 shots one of the two M5 Crosshead screws that secure the forearm to the cylinder sheared off- This could not be extracted and had to be drilled out - I retapped this for a 5/16" Hardened hex bolt and tightened it up and it seems better- Check these two screws and the one securing the stock as even though they are fitted with Loctite Blue, these come loose! - I cannot return mine for warranty repair as I am not in the UK or USA at the moment and would probably have the gun seized if it was found during shipment. This gun likes H&S Super Field and Superdome, it is OK with Hobby, NOT Superpoint

Bigger bolts, at least M6 or M8 to secure stocks. Better trigger, it is horrible and not a real two stage as far as I can tell, more like a loose one stage with a nasty jumpy pull. I would forget the "FREE" scope and either discount it or ship it with free pellets and gun oil.

You guys are getting it in the USA for a good price, this thing cost me $535.00 USD where I am as these are not really legal to use - It actually comes with a sticker on the box that covers the "1100 FPS" printing by Crosman and has a sticker on it saying "Less than 2 Joules - For Asia: ! - LESS THAN 2 JOULES, yeah right.

The rifle is very accurate with high-quality rounds. Cleaned barrel and the performance is better than expected. Owning 7 different air rifles, I would say this gun is the best rifle for the money. It would be my first choice for a gift or first air rifle. I now shoot this rifle as my primary gun, given accuracy and performance, with 8gn ballistic tip rounds--perfect weight.

This pellet rifle completely ROCKS! .22 Caliber and tearing up the place. I was surprised how quiet it is and I wonder about the Platinum level of noise suppression? Must be really quiet. I am surprised with the accuracy. I used the iron sights at first and they rock but took forever to dial in, so I switched to the scope and it took a while too but I am nailing dime size groups at 30 yards and tearing metal butane cans to shreds at 50 yards! I have soda cans hanging off of the barbed wire fence about 60 yards out and I see the pellets kicking up sand a good 20 yards past them, up hill a bit when I miss those. This gun has range, and it is accurate at range. It is throws heavy lead too. I stick in the 15-16 grain range, but I have 20 grain pellets too and they are accurate as can be in a heavy wind and through brush.

I tried resetting the trigger to more of a hair trigger and the screw broke apart. So, I would suggest a higher quality screw be used in adjustment spots. I did get an eighth of a turn before it came apart and that helped the trigger pull immensely.

Great value! Incredible range and accuracy to boot. I was surprised how much stronger this .22 caliber Crosman Diamondback is than my pump action .177 760. Crazy differences!

Its powerful.

Better sound suppression.

Im not very experienced, but this sounded VERY loud to me. Even with 10.5 grain 177 pellets it is much too loud to use in a residential neighborhood.

This gun cocks easy and is pretty quite.

I dont have a chrono but I would love to see actual numbers for FPS/FPE with a few pellet weights. I seriously doubt the 1400fps number. I have ordered the RC bearing as I have modified 2 Benjamin/Crosman triggers and this one needs it badly.

Its the cheapest NP Elite gun and I am sure with a mod trigger it will shoot well.

Power, accuracy, weight and price. The combat stock is awesome. The sling attachments were thoughtful. You don't know how important a sling is til you don't have one.

Sell the rifle with a nice 1 piece "lockdown" style mount with the stop pin and let the customer choose the optic. Its required to fully enjoy the inherent accuracy of this rifle.

Buy 3 things with any of these spring or gas ram guns: A good airgun rated scope, 1 piece locking mount and blue loctite.

Seems like a good rifle; reasonable power. I have run through about 400 pellets so far. Fairly quiet, shouldn't disturb your neighbors. Fairly accurate with open sights right out of the box. The included scope is junk; it seemed to zero ok, but would not group. I removed the rear sight and use a Hammers 3x9x40 AO which works fine. Very easy to zero. Cocking effort is not bad, but a smaller person will get tired after many shots.

Good scope. TruGlo sights.

I purchased the rifle from Pyramid which included a $25 rebate. It likes JSB Diablo 18.3 gr. pellets; does not group with Crosman domed 14.1. The trigger can be improved by turning out the adjustment screw; but be careful; if you go too far you end with a hair trigger. I did an amateur pellet seating test by measuring how far pellets entered a pine board with and without seating. Not seating seemed to give more power.

Shoots like a freakin dream. Extremely quiet and definitely accurate. Sighting the scope took all of 6 clicks out of the box

Redesign break action with leverage assist for easier pump

Not a light gun but well balanced. Cocking action requires a strong arm, which is difficult for me since my arm was surgically reattached.

Great feel, great performance and very accurate. Love having the oppiton of the iron sight.scope is good not great.

Offer this air riffle with the platinum suppression. Alloy pellet makes it to loud for plinking in the yard without letting everyone know that are shooting. Sell it as a tactical kit with strap light better optics bipod

Great air riffle. It's a little heavier than the my buddies Gamo air riffle. I love the weight and feel of the riffle.
