Wanting to add a Crosman to my collection

[JaRoHe]

Looking to pickup a Crosman rifle for backyard pesting...

I am leaning towards the 2100 (vs Legacy 1000, 760 Pumpmaster).

What is the difference between the 2100B and the 2100X (only difference I'm seeing is that the 2100X include a scope)?

Accuracy vs power would be my first & topmost consideration...

Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions regarding the Crosman line are welcomed...

I love Crosman products, I have a couple marauders, a couple 1720T’s, prod and a good handful of old vintage co2 stuff.

I had a 2100 for a few months and ended up selling it.

It was not a bad rifle, actually very good for the price but my vintage Sheridan and Benjiman rifles were better when it came to power. On the other end the rifle that made me sell the 2100 was the Daisy 853. It doesn’t have the power but it is so accurate that I always found myself grabbing that over the 2100.

I know this isn’t really what you asked but I only posted this because you mention accuracy over power.

Are you set on a pumper... or wold you consider a break barrel?
Is Vintage out of the question?

[bantam5s]

If you are willing to go vintage Crosman get a 140 or 1400 ( same gun but the 1400 has some improvements you might like )

For new get the 2100, I find mine a great gun for the price.
Pumpers are the way to go in my opinion.

The only complaint would be that the stocks are currently ugly so I'm glad I got mine a couple years ago.

Looking for a variable pumper... my longest shot would only be 30 feet max.  I already have a couple of break barrels, they have way more power than I need for the short distances I'll be shooting at.

You should consider the Crosman Custom Shop
You can get a nice and fancy 1300KT Pump Carbine .22 or .177 with steel breech and 14" or 18" barrel for less than you may think.

I have a 2100 that I bought last year and it is a really good gun for the money and very accurate. I bought mine as a refurb and have had no issues with it.

Much better gun the the 2100.

I would go this route if you are willing to extend your budget.

Another consideration is the Maximus Euro model. 12fpe and has a threaded muzzle adapter for a LDC. A $50 dollar pump, scope and you are ready to go.

I would suggest a Sheridan C with a peep sight.

I bought my son in law a 2100 a few years back.  Very accurate for a $50 gun.  He had a squirrel problem in his yard at the time and i shot many of them with his 2100 from 15 to 30 yards.

I personally dispatched hundreds of rats with my 2100 when I was still in the Philippines.

A Polish friend of mine bought it from me and did trigger mods on it...Also fitted a homebrew silencer.

There is a Remington(?) version of the 2100 in silver finish.

It is indeed a a Remington called the Airmaster 77 and in silver finish.

Is the Remmington Airmaster 77 made by Crosman?  Would this be considered a step-up from the 2100?

[Rick67]

If I am not mistaken, Crosman owns Remington.

The A77 and the 2100 are exactly the same except for the colors.

[Matchstickshooter]

 Crosman 1377  with a carbine stock?  You can add/build it to your liking as you go along.

If you are up to a little project I would suggest a 760 with the rifled barrel. I put off doing this mod for a while then decided to give it a go. I have to tell you for the $35 for the gun and another $15 for the barrel, barrel stabilizer and front sight this gun was transformed into a super accurate little daemon of a gun. So accurate I decided it needed a scope. It is one of the most fun guns I have to shoot. I also filled the butt with caulk and the forearm with resin to reduce the plastic clapping sound of pumping it so now it sounds solid. Every time I shoot it I`m thinking "Dang,  this thing is amazing!).

I picked up a 2100x combo on sale last year.  It worked great- good accuracy and power. I'd recommend it.
I believe you are correct that the X has a cheap scope but otherwise the same.
The Daisy  880 is in the same class, but I prefer the fit and feel of the more substantial 2100; And my 2100 had better out of the box accuracy and power than the several new 880s I've owned.
Have fun!

We get the same questions from time to time on the forum. Earlier I recommended the Sheridan but, if that is out of the question for you then The 2100 is a good option. One of the biggest reason being than they are still made with some metal. With that in mind, they beg to had some wood added.
There is another member of the GTA (EGilman) who makes wood stocks and fore arms in various wood types.
Below is one of mine in mesquite.
I have 2 others in walnut.

I own various pumpers, for cheap but ok with in 20 yards I would get a 760. My Daisy 880's are a step up from that at $35 average price at walmart they are a good bargain. The 2100 is a nice all purpose gun also. It has more weight, and cost more but is a very accurate gun. I have seen them for as little as $49 refurbed and I have bought them new and refurb and have no problems with them. If as you say you just want an inexpensive plinker/pester the 880 and 2100 are a good deal. Of course, if money isn't an object and you want to spend over a $100-$170 then buy a Benjamin/ Sheridan pumper.

So if I'm understanding this right, you're buying a smooth bore 760 Pumpmaster and replacing the smooth bore barrel with a rifled barrel?  Is the rifled barrel made specifically for the 760 Pumpmaster... or is it a barrel from another model that switches out with the 760 Pumpmaster?

Are there any advantages to modifying a 760 Pumpmaster vs. purchasing a 2100 Classic model?

FYI: I currently have 3 Daisy 880's, I'm just looking to add a little variety to the mix...
