I wouldn't recommend the Arrow in 177. I had one and it shot all over the place. I never did figure out what was causing it.

Crosman Crosman Icon for $129.99 - free shipping
- Thread starter Danoh
- Start date
I got mine today in .177, with a cheap CVLIFE 4-16x44 AO scope from amazon.
Total package was 185 dollars !
Some points
- Trigger isn't good, very heavy pull but its workable.
- Very loud, needs a fat moderator to make it quiet
- Magazines are flimsy
- Stock is mediocre
Accuracy wise its ok, used JSB's, CPHP, and hn ftts, it liked the ftts the best.
i bought this pure as a barn pcp gun, i'm not bringing my expensive laminate stocks in dirty barns, or woods.
This gun is perfect for close to medium range pesting. I Would say inside 40 yards, you can hit your targets with some practices.
keep in mind the rifle + optics was 185 dollars, so set your expectations realistically
The cvlife 4-16x44 AO suprised me, for 55 dollars shipped, its a good optic.

I've got 2 or 3 CV life scopes. Not bad scopes but mine at 16 power isn't as zoomed in as others I have at 16

I have a .22 and a .177 ordered. Also ordered two moderators (along with some other goodies) from Buck-rail. Along with receiving a Vector Sentinel 8-32x50 in the mail just today. (massive scope!)
“Sorry Honey, we just don’t seem to have a lot of spare money for Christmas this year, I have no idea what happened to our finances”

All my moderators now cost less than $1.
I have been 3D printing my moderators for 1 year now, and probably printed 40-50 of them for almost every air gun I own.
This is the best $250 investment (plus the cost of filament) I have made in the air gun hobby.

Not sure anyone has mentioned it but the icon is the same as the beeman power series (commander, chief 2, 1358/1357, 2027,2028) so all the parts for the Barra 1100z should fit the icon. So in theory you could buy the .177 then order a .22 barrel and probe for like $30 and do a caliber swap just saying.

If it's the trigger housing I'm thinking of you should be able to do a roller bearing mod to it.

I watched his Icon video and ordered the roller bearings yesterday.
Will have several extra if anybody needs one.

Now the guilt of spending on myself sets in. Why did I have to see this super good deal to good to pass up. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Of course since it's my first pcp I had to order the pump as well. And now I have to build a water capture thingy. Darn it Darn it Darn it.

I ordered the .22 Sunday evening, received an email at 12:08 am this morning stating I should receive tracking info shortly (hopefully today) Ordered the .177 Monday morning, but haven’t received email with invoice yet. Should have placed them on same order, but got so excited when I saw price that I ordered the .22 immediately, fearing they would sell out quickly. THEN I discovered the .177 for same price. You’d think at my age I wouldn’t excite easily but, despite the creaky bones, failing eyesight, and everything else that comes with age, I’m still a kid at heart.

Let's hope. I had to drive 26 miles this morning to pick up my .22 from the SECOND wrong post office it got sent to. My .177 is out for delivery today from MY post office. YAY!
Now waiting on RC roller bearings from Amazon to do the trigger mod. Out of the box, trigger is 3 lbs 4 oz. Have given the .22 barrel a good cleaning already.
More substantial rifle than I was expecting - which is good.
