NEW Crosman 362

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Yep, and if they’re going to stay with synthetic stocks, they at least need to drop the comb a bit for iron sight shooting on the 39x.

I agree it is a very lousy combination. My older brother bought one of each 392/397 and I am glad I didn't. They are a far cry from the Blue Streaks usability wise.

[Blowpipe Sam]

    From my viewpoint, dropping the wood stocks on thd 397/392 was a mistake. They should have made them easier to scope for owners. I think they are a solid airgun.

You would think that Crosman, of all airgun manufacturers,  would understand the utility of their own steel breech design.  The current production 397/392 could be saved by a simple dovetail making it much more appealing.  Instead it is just an obsolete design updated with an ugly and poorly designed stock.  Crosman should have left it alone or taken advantage of advances in technology to remake the gun as a 21st century, state of the art, multi-pump air rifle.  In a wooden stock.

Nicely put, Carter, and may I add: AND also offer it in .20 caliber.

[TerryM]

Plastic breech is to keep unit price down and in more people's budget.  Fortunately, upgrade parts available.

I'd rather pay more and not have to mess with it. Maybe they'll offer a deluxe version.

I am interested to see as well.

I like the idea of the deluxe edition!

They will probably call it the "Sheridan" 362?... based on what was done with the 2260.
As long as it is DELUXE I don't mind, Crosman owns the brand, but IMO they should just use it for deluxe versions since they killed the .20 identity already.

I'd probably buy a deluxe version with the wood stock and metal breech , but absolutely not if they put the Sheridan name on it.

Maybe that "ideology" has something to do with their lack of Sheridan branded airguns now. I think that diehard Sheridan fans from the older generation just have an idea what a Sheridan is and will not allow/accept a future that varies much from the past. Ideally, I think I am right with you on what a Sheridan should be, ".20 and quality", but my memories are not taken away since they moved on away from a great past.
 I own 3 pumper Streaks and a F C02 Streak (stuck in the past, LOL). I also have a Wood 392 which OK but is a lesser version IMO. The 2260 Sheridan has some upgrades, Laser etched tube, and steel breech. I really doubt we would ever see a Deluxe Crosman with a Crosman laser etched tube, and I like the look of the laser etching enough to be OK with them using the Sheridan name on it, the laser etching has a classier look IMO.

I'm the opposite.
I hate lazer etching because ita cheap and easily worn away.
With knives I only own 2 out of 50 or so that do not have proper tang stamps.

My issue with Crosman and the Sheridan name is that they use wrong name on the pellets and put the name on the wrong guns.

However different it may be any .20 pumper would be better than nothing,  but using the sheridan name on a .22 co2 rifle and some BB guns should be illegal.
It's just 100% wrong and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Sheridan had a f. model that was C02,

I have been away from airguns for a while. Got one of my Sheridans out and got the interest going again. I do like pumpers and thought there has to be something new out. I found the 362 pumper by chance and this thread. I am so glad to see something new coming out. I have never done any mods to a pumper but I think I will start with one of these when they come out. Thanks for the thread.

[TerryM]

  I have a Sheridan F.  Sweet gun.

[TerryM]

  Crosman can call their new rifle whatever they want, I'm getting one.

Exactly! I am ready for a 362. I have my .22 Max barrel, breech and I need to order another Baker trigger, as I just used the spare I had. I have a bag full of Marauder baffle's and tubing to make a partial shroud. Bring it on Crosman! I also have a .177 Max barrel, that I may try slugs.

Yes and the model E pistol, but those were .20 call brass construction true Sheridan guns.
A steel .22 caliber is not even remotely close to being a Sheridan gun,  nor is a lever action bb gun or a Remington new model replica.

I do get it, I am almost 65 years old so I am sure we both have the same idea of what a Sheridan should be. Since  Crosman owns the brand at the end of the day it will be some marketing "expert" that decides, not you or I. 
They can put it on a slingshot or a Bow if they decide to.

  The price looks good and advertised FPS of 685 makes me wonder if the pump tube is 7/8" OD like a 392 with a 392 valve or a longer 3/4" tube with a 1377 type valve.  I hope the local Cabella's and Gander Outdoors get them to see one in person.  I've got plenty of Mod parts to use and a fancy walnut non-let stock to go on it.  That would make it more interesting.
