This is my C362...

[Spacebus]

It's been dipping down below freezing here at night so I've been dripping the faucets in the bar/mancave to prevent pipes freezing. I go down in the morning and shut them off.... no sense in water dripping all day.
This morning I just happen to notice #805 sitting on the tuning box, looking all lonely n junk...  :'(
So I picked it up and brought it back to the house with me. I stepped out onto the screened in back deck where I keep an assortment of pellets on standby.
I pumped it up and inserted a CPUM. I opened the back door and leaned on the ramp rail. I spotted a can around 30 yds out. Took a few seconds to find the can in the scope because it was still before dawn. I switch on the red IR to help.
POP !!! Nailed It !!!
Yep, it's a keeper.

It's been so cold I can't even go up to the attic to shoot!

Sounds like you need something like this. Those that have been around the airgun community for a long time probably remember L.D. This is his 53 yard shooting tunnel.

Hey Bill... What scope are you using on #805? I have been looking at the illuminated reticle scopes as an option for my 362.

[Wayne52]

Most all my scopes have an illuminated reticle however I don't use them. All my UTG's do, I've tried them in the field however they never did me much good so I never put batteries in them anymore.

I have the Buck Rail 2-6x32 IR AO compact on #805.
I would buy another one but they haven't been available on the BR site.

I have only one pumper in my arsenal, a vintage Crosman 101 in .22, but never considered a modern one until I followed this post
so now I have been getting very itchy in getting a C362. I only wish that the 362 had a wooden stock as I have too many plastic AG's.

Bob, I would jump on in, it's just a matter of time before someone makes some wood furniture. These things are climbing the popularity ladder pretty fast.

Thanks  . I didn't see it listed on their site... I will keep an eye out for them.

I think I'm going to chop and crown  that 24" .177 barrel.
I'm thinking 21 - 22 inches.

I found anything heavier than the tiny 4X32 to be too heavy for the 362. I have a lightweight 3X9X32 that loosens up the screws when pumping so the 4X32 looks to be permanent on mine.

I may bed my breech against the air tube if it loosens up with the 4X32 though.

I currently have a CP 3-12x44 PLT on it.  Great scope for the price and I have one on each of my guns. They are big though. I am just looking at smaller options. With my aging eyes, a big lens with good eye relief is important. An illuminated reticle would be nice to try. I'm researching... something will catch my eye eventually.

       robert you might want to take a look at apex air rifle hunting scope 3 by 9 by 40  it is around 30 bucks has a nice lite up crosshair red or green i own two both are excellent hold zero bright and clear on amazon also has a pellet holder for six 22 cal pellets

Pumped up and shot one shot off the back deck this morning just for gits and shiggles while I waited for Betty Slow   err I mean Lou to get ready to run to town. I tried to cock the gun to shoot another and it wouldn't cock. When we got back from town I opened it up and found the problem....
The first time I put the steel breech on I discovered that rear breech screw was too long because it bound the hammer. Evidently it broke that green hammer spring spacer. The piece that broke finally found it's way to a place where it jammed things up.

Thanks David... I will check it out.

That stinks... the green spacer curse strikes again! I wonder why Crosman decided to use something like this in this gun? I switched mine to a brass one. Probably not much a buffer, but it keeps the tension of the spring close... if that even makes any difference?

The next time I have mine apart that bolt in mine needs some dressing up yet, it's a shorter bolt that came from a 2240 I had cut off, it needs a little grinding because there's a big burr marring up the plastic piece.  If you've got a drill press it's easy to make one with a delrin 3/8" rod probably. 

[avator]

It locked up again... I ended up removing that green spacer all together. I gave it 8 pumps and it didn't retain any air so I think I'm good to go... we'll see.

[Wayne52]

Bill that plastic spacer is probably there for people that want to do 10.

[avator]

Not sure why it's there... plenty of preload without it.

[avator]

Wayne, you may be right. I'll never put 10 in either one of ours.
