Crosman 150 Review

Overall Rating

I just purchused a .22cal Crosman 150 for $50CDN at my local gun shop. The 150 was/is the first version of the Crosman 2240. Eariler models, (earily 1950's, such as mine) had a "one-peice" Breech/barrel desgin. The later models (late 1950's), were a "two-peice" breech/barrel desgin and it would appear as though Crosman decided to stick with the "two-peice" breech/barrel desgin,IE: the 2240, 2250, backpacker, etc. I havent got to actually shoot this gun yet as I need to get a Co2 Cap seal. I'm guessing the power levels are very simaler to the "stock" 2240, which shoots at 480fps max. And I bet its just as accurate as the 2240, if not more. The construstion is much better than the 22xx's as it is all steel. There is no trigger wobbel as with the modern Crosman 22xx's and it feels very crisp with a perfect pull weight. Very Nice muzzel Crown and steel sights as well as a steel saftey pin, only plastic on the gun is the grips, which could easily be replaced with aftermarket wooden 22xx grips. In all I would recomend that any firearm/pellet gun collector get a Crosman 150 should you get the chance. Most people are not awear of the value of the 150 so if your lucky one could be had for $20-$50, which IMHO is a steal deal!
