NEW Crosman 362

[avator]

... and that should equate to plenty of FPE to knock a tree rat off an acorn tree at 50 or so....

Yes. The Hawke 2-7x32 and 3-9x40 AO Vantage are my favorite budget scopes.

Right there with ya, Brother.

I was tempted to get one of these guns but I'm going to live vicariously through all of you....LOL

NO RON !!!   You are forbidden to venture into this gun. I have seen what you do with these pumpers and frankly, I can't handle the envy !!!

I don't know how much more power can be be had from this gun.
If the stroke is 6" as stated, at 8 pumps that's 48 swept inches.
A hopped up 2200 is good for about 700 FPS with 10 pumps, 50 swept inches.
So Crosman really maxed out the power with this gun.
Looks good too.

That lends itself to my desire to step down in caliber... raise the fps and go for distance accuracy.
What would you say to a 24 - 26" barrel in .177 10.49 H&N Hunter and no power mods?

Good call, should make about 825 FPS in 17 cal.

15.8577 ft lbs

There ya have it...
If accuracy is there I'm all in.

Got my breech and scope lined up. I'll order a barrel and look into where I want to be with the trigger group....
something metal but I'm not going to invest in a $65 setup. If I'm not mistaken, Bob has a pretty good tutorial on the 2 or 3 screw mod for this trigger group.

[avator]

Ron, do you happen to know the part number for the 24" .177 barrel?

[Tack Driver 10]

This is what I have.
There's also the Maximus barrel.

These C362 threads are still going hog wild yet  

[avator]

1760SE 001  that's what I thought but it's been awhile since I ordered one.
I bet they have doubled in price....

Yep, this is a gun that has been wanted by many of us for years. I doubt it will die down soon.

[avator]

It'll be like any other 'next best thing' phase we've gone through over and over. Couple weeks ago it was the AEA. before that was the DAR. Before that, some time back, we did it with the Air Speed.
The difference is... the lego has legacy.

[Wayne52]

Ed I'll be bringing over to my brothers later in the week to let him check it out, I'll bring along a full tin of pellets when I go there.  He's got a big L Ranch with a huge basement that's perfect for plinking.  I'll probably bring along my Challenge SL 22 along as well.

[avator]

.... it's Marauder like in it's support, both factory and after market.

That sounds like a great plan to me. I just grabbed a tin of Meisterkugelns and went out with my 901 for a session. My first pellet rifle was a pumper and I still love them.

that is pretty close to my more conservative quick/rough estimate of 12 fpe with 10.3g... reply #17

I just used an energy calculator and posted the result of 10.49grn @ 825fps =15.8577
So I guess you are revising your estimated output down just a bit?

A lot of cross posting going on.
800+ FPS, 11.25 FPE with 7.9 CPHPs, with 10.49 ammo around 750 FPS, 13 FPE more or less.

[avator]

LOL.... I only needed to hear it once to be convinced. Here, hold my beer. I'm goin' in.

[desertplinker]

Used to be a .22 cal average weight pellet airgun shooting 500 fps was a huge deal?
