Crosman 2260 Rabbitstopper Review

Overall Rating

Very accurate. Plastic parts should last a long time.

Wood stock is not cut straight. Barrel band set screws are weak.

When I first saw my new Crosman 2260 Rabbitstopper, I thought it was a beautiful piece of work. Upon closer inspection I was let down by two things. The stock inletting for the CO2 tube is cut at an angle which makes the C02 tube sit unparallel to the stock. The other thing is the weak barrel band set up. Out of the box the barrel band was loose allowing the barrel to rotate out of position.

The plastic breech and plastic trigger group are actually well made. If they are like my first Crosman airgun (20 years old), they should last a couple of decades. The trigger breaks clean without creep and is not too heavy or too light. The rear aperture sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. The diameter of the aperture is a little large for shooting at targets the size of a squirrel head, but it makes for quick sighting and shooting.

Regardless of negatives, for $85 USD, the Crosman 2260 is a good value. The ease of shooting compared to a spring powered airgun and the good trigger allows for consistent accuracy. I think I'm going to like this air rifle for a long, long time.
