General comments: A few months ago I ordered a custom .117 cal Crosman in the model 2300. I put a Barska red dot scope on it. It is a handy pistol that I have used primarly for plinking outside my living-room window at metal silhouette targets. I typically shoot at 18 and 30 yard targets. My 30 yard target is an official NRA ram. I can hit it an easy 9 out of 10 shots at that range. I get about 50 shots with one CO2 cartridge but start hitting a little low afer 40 shots. So I have to start aiming high after a 40 shots. I have not shot any animals with it yet (none have venture across my shooting range) but I imagine I will use it for a camp gun to take care of rodents and other pests. I would say it has knock down power to kill a robin-size bird out to 25-30 yards but I have yet to test that theory. For the price, the workmanship is not too bad. You usually get what you pay for. I paid around $140 for it. The bluing is alright. It is pretty dark with no sheen. The pistol grips are a pretty dark red color with a varnish-style coating. The nice thing about the custom options is that free engraving can be done. So I put my nickname on it and reference to a bible verse. There are numerous other custum options that can be made. Makes it quite fun when building it out. I wish the trigger pull was a little lighter. Overall, I am glad I have purchased this nice little plinker and would recommend it if you need a gun for blasting away. Other guns would be better for hunting. So it might not compare much to my $1000 Theoben or Logun but I do not have to worry about scratching it either. What I like most is that it is a pretty cheap gun that is not made out of plastic or sheet metal. Give me real wood and metal baby!
