Crosman New Custom Shop 2300KT

[sjs]

My Custom Shop 2300KT arrived today, only 10 days after it was ordered. I had a 2300KT in .22 with a 7.5" Crosman barrel. This one is in .177 and has the 10.5" LW barrel.

I cleaned it and mounted a cheap Winchester 4X scope on it to test pellets. Out of the box it had a 6lb. trigger pull. It loved RWS R10 with 1 hole groups and liked Meisterkugeln 8.2gr almost as much. Did well with everything else, except Crosman pellets, maybe due to the LW barrel.

I then switched a Burris Fast Fire III 3 MOA red dot for the scope. I like all types of airgun shooting, from one hand offhand to benchrest and everything in between, but my first love is 10 Meter Air Pistol targets offhand at 10 meters and that is what I bought this pistol for. I never owned a 10.5" barrel before but gambled on it because all the olympic grade 10M pistols I see for sale have those long barrels.

I think it looks good with the red dot. Would look better with quality irons but my old man eyes won't cut it with them. Turns out my old man arm isn't quite up to one handed shooting with a long barrel. Not yet at least, but I think I will be able to build up to it with practice.

Got the trigger down to 1lb and took out the overtravel and I think I am going to like this one.

nice pistol enjoy but i will tell you this
the custom shop prices now are way more then before and because of that a 2300S is almost a better deal

How much was it ? Can you use the 25% off they had ?

 

[sjs]

The pistol is great. I am getting used to the long barrel and now prefer that balance. Had to back off on the trigger as I had it adjusted too light. I did not know anything about a 25% off, and paid full price for it. Oh well.

I've built many a crosman 22xx, and they're fun and addicting to customize. Have fun and enjoy!

My 2240s may not look as pretty but they cost a quarter of the price and usually shoot just as well.

you have no imagination but you have more money than us 2240 builders but then again we have more guns
some own 1 factory stock 2240 and some have a dozen custom guns but we are both in the hobby
the silver one is called my art project

I get it, it's not about the shooting
Yes, those air guns look great.
