[GTA-Airgunner]

Today’s video on the “Crosman 362 100 Year Anniversary Edition - Out of the box Airgun Review by AirgunWeb” is brought to you by PyramydAir - https://linktr.ee/pyramyd

It’s time we take our .22 Caliber Crosman 362 100 Year Anniversary Edition out for a quick spin on the range. We’ll take a look at velocity through the various pump levels as well as accuracy tests at 15 yards. We’ll be testing the Crosman Premier Hollow Points, JSB Hades, H&N 15.89s, and H&N Terminators.  How will she do for us?  I guess we’re going to find out!  Let’s get started.

Hey Rick... great review. I, for one, appreciate your honest opinions with your reviews unlike some other reviewers that seem to be more interested in guaranteeing they get another free gun from the manufacturer/vendor.
Yeah, the elephant in the room for me is the price. But I have to remind myself that it is a 100 year anniversary edition gun with a limited run of 2023 units. But, many of the parts of this gun were off the shelf parts that we see in the 362 and other Crosman "lego" guns.
However, I question how they went above the call of a typical anniversary gun in some areas such as the nice wood stock, the Wiliams peep and the steel breech but then kinda dropped the ball with that plastic front barrel band/end cap combo. An adjustable trigger would have been nice too, as you mentioned.
In my opinion, collectors are going to put this gun away and preserve what it represents. To me that would be a waste of those top shelf features. On the other hand, folks that buy the gun as a tool will want the things that they kinda left out.
Was Crosman trying to cover both ends of that spectrum? I don't know, I think if they were they would have certainly made more than a couple thousand.
Bottom line... the 362 was less than $100. Is a steel breech, nice wood stock, metal trigger, a Williams peep and a neat little inlayed badge worth $300 and change? The answer for me is nope, not if I was going to add it into the rotation with my other airguns. And nope, because I'm not a collector and at 67 years old I highly doubt if I'd ever see any return on my investment.

 Mine is still in the box , I hope there is one in there, actually I peeked its there

LOL,James..
I completely accept that others will have a whole other outlook about the gun and it's value... for them.
It's a really nice gun and it certainly rings my bell as a wood and metal fan. And the memories that a single shot pumper bring back are awesome. But for me, that price tag.... yeah, that price tag.

BTW... if you watch the review carefully you'll notice I'm not the only one with that opinion....

I'm hoping they come out with a wood stock with out the 100 year stuff and price, then I will get one to shoot, meanwhile I have some nice 362's

Yep, I'm not opposed to adding a nice wood stock to at least one of our 362s if they make them available at a reasonable price.

Thanks Rick. Nice review.
Crosman did a great job with the Anniversary 362. I agree 100% that the grip is a little slim and the trigger coulda been improved, but is still a very good trigger out of the box.
But what matters most is accuracy and they nailed it! I finally have a Crosman that shoots crosman premiers as good as any other.
