I think the sudden change from dropping it into a mudhole to gently placing it onto a pillow at night killed it. I have killed many birds with it, 5 rabbits, 2 tree rats and believe me or not a fawn. Crosman stopped selling them about 15 years ago and now even denies selling them. long story short find one and take descent care of it and it will put food on the table. p.s. it broke 3 months ago and still killed a rabbit 36 out of 70 found this review helpful.

The bolt action broke after about 5 years of heavy use so I sent it to the Crossman factory for repair. After getting it back from the factory I put about 10 pellets through it and it broke again. So, I sent it back again and after receiving it back the second time it broke in a little time also. It's been in storage ever since and now that my son is old enough to shoot I wouldn't mind getting it fixed. Anyone had similar problems or any solutions? Are there stronger replacement parts? Does Crossman still have a repair center? 60 out of 117 found this review helpful.

Looks like a toy, but shoots like a champ! Mine tops-out at abt 12 pumps (not much increase in power after that) and will shoot .22 Hobbies at 650 fps with the aforementioned charge. Groups tight clusters off the bench at 28 yds/open sights. Not too shabby. Not the best trigger out-of-the-box. I soldered a 4-40 nut to the side of the sear. Run a 4-40 screw through the nut and it allows you to adjust the trigger pull. A second 'locking' nut keeps the adjustment in place. A worthwhile improvement, if you are inclined. A good shooter, don't get suckered into betting against one! BTW, can be ammo-sensitive, so don't give up on it without experimenting. Mine likes Hobbies and CR Points the best.. 59 out of 114 found this review helpful.

Its just about ready for an overhaul but it will still be worth it... 78 out of 181 found this review helpful.

Can't beat the price and it stands up to heavy use. 89 out of 173 found this review helpful.

Very accurate to about 30 yards or so.The only thing it had trouble with was woodchucks, but I believe this was an ammo selection problem not the rifle. I never oiled it that's what killed it. I contacted crosman last week to my surprise they have every part in stock to get the rifle to specs at very low prices. Also the 2200 has the most potentional to be a real powerhouse with upgrades requiring very little machining. If you own one you must go to the crosman page on airguninfo.com and try the upgrades you'll be amazed. 96 out of 194 found this review helpful.

I think the contributor needs to have his airgun checked out as 187FPS sounds like a pump seal/valve repair is in order. Btw, check out author James E. House excellent book on American Air Rifles. What are his two most recommended multi-pump air rifles? They are the Benjamin 392 and the Crosman 2200 Magnum. Both are single shot .22 cal and they smoke. Enough said. 107 out of 232 found this review helpful. Helpful | Not Helpful Not Recommended   By: SHOOTIN' IRON Date: March 14, 2007 Rating: THIS IS THE WORST AND SLOWEST RIFLE I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Date: February 28, 2007 Rating: In the 1970's I used to go open field varmint hunting here,in the sugar cane fields of Hawaii. I went hunting for the furry 4-legged f-14 called a Mongoose.This Hawaiian weasel runs Lightning fast,and are gone in a blink.I shoot on the fly, and my Crosman 2200 magnum .22 never fails me. This air rifle just feels right and shoots straight.Incredible knockdown power at 20-30 yards and even more accurate when mounted with a 4X Weaver scope. One shot, one kill. Recommnend it? You bet, and a heck of a lot of fun. 116 out of 218 found this review helpful. Helpful | Not Helpful Highly Recommended   By: Jeff McDonald Date: September 20, 2006 Rating: This is a .22 cal. I've had this rifle since ohhh 1980? And I've had tons of fun with it. I had new rings and such put in it 10 years ago or so, and it works as god (maybe better) than new. I think the gunsmith put better than original parts in it. Anyway, it is what it is....a gun that bridges the gap between toy and adult air rifle. It's fairly powerful. Stats said something like 590 fps. That's probably close. I wouldn't know, but I do know that it has always made a nice SMACK when it hit game, and that the game suffered little. It sends beer cans spinning if you hit the rim at 15 yards or so. And it is pretty accurate with a scope. I think I paid like 35 bucks for it. Win win deal. One bad thing, the plastic stock got loose where it connects to the reciever some 10-15 years ago, and there doesn't seem to be a way to tighten it. I don't know if you can still get these, but it you want to buy yourself a fun camping bring along rifle, or get your kid a pellet gun that he'll love, buy one. 119 out of 210 found this review helpful.
