Sheridan 2260MB

I would recommend the Sheridan to anyone just looking for a first rifle or someone who collects them.

Pros
I got Sheridan 2260mb today and im way more than happy with the rifle.Its accurate has power its pretty quiet also.Its a well built rifle.Its a Limited edition..so my advice dont modify but you can get a scope just leave the inards alone.

Cons
None at all

Until Sheridan or Crossman upgrade their quality control. I cannot in good faith recommend this airgun to anyone trying to teach marksmanship.

Pros
This is the second Sheridan 2260 MB that I own. The first one was a tack driver. Unfortunately, the second one is not anywhere near as accurate. Out-of-the-box. It shot 6 inches high and 4 inches to the right, at 10 measured yards. It is unfortunate but I don't think you could hit the floor with this rifle if you dropped it.

Cons
The consistency from rifle to rifle is nonexistent.

I have currently mounted the Winchester #813 on the Sheridan 2260 CO2 rifle. It appears the Sheridan has a significant "barrel droop" This doesn't mean there is a bow in the barrel. It means the muzzle is lower than the chamber and sight mount, whereby the scope mount can't align with the bore of the barrel. I was shooting consistent within an inch at 50 ft. but 8" low. I added 2 thin shims of aluminum under the rear of the sight ring. This brought the impact point up to near the center of the reticle and to the near top of the 9 ring. From there a full turn and a half brought the scope to zero (@ 50 ft.). Any thin flexible material can be used such as film stock, laminating plastic, or gaffer's tape. Without the shimming there aren't enough turns available on the turret to compensate for the 8" difference. My first CO2 rifle. I expected a few more shots from ea cylinder. The last three shots dropped off considerably. Maybe 20-25 rounds.

Pros
Made in 'Merica.

Cons
The barrel droop issue confused me for a bit but was easily corrected.

It's a well built rifle with a nice wood stock. Plenty of power and is accurate. The one problem I have is a crack in the plastic cover on the butt. I have stood the rifle on the butt in a closet but didn't drop it there.
I'm using Falcon pellets.

With many similarities to the Crosman 2400, this rifle is fun for the tinkerer. This has enough power to take out rats. Trigger sucks, but there are options on the internet. Wood stock had marks on it and it wasn't in the best shape. If you have the mindset that this is a platform, you will be happy.

Pros
Accurate enough, .6 inch 10 shot groups at 25 yards with JSB 18s. .8 inch 10 shot groups at 25 with Crosman CPHP 14s. Customizable. Power. Long barrel speeds up pellets.

Cons
Trigger sucks. Had some burrs on the crown.

Readily accepts a scope with the grooved receiver. VERY ACCURATE! Suffiently powerful to take squirrels at 30 yards with one shot. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Pros
No pumping. Plenty of shots per co2 cylinder.

Cons
Won't work well in cold weather.

Neat little rifle. NIce hardwood stock, easy to use. Mounted a decent TASCO scope on it and at 15 yards we're hitting the same hole. Highly recommend!

Pros
NIce stock, cost effective, accurate.

Cons
No cons for what it's meant for.

I bought this to be a more powerful plinker just for fun, couldn't pass on the sale price. I prefer 12g CO2 over 88 because they are so much cheaper and it doesn't bother me to have to swap them out. I have probably 200 shots through it now, all Crosman premier domed 14.3 gr. At 15 yards can't miss 3/4" target. I haven't really tried yet to see how good it can get on paper but I suspect it is much better than that. I get 35 +/- good shots on one cart. The open sights are poor quality (like my eyesight is getting to be) so I put a 4x scope on it. Higher rings would have made it easier to load but I've got the technique down now. Not super quiet but not noticeably or alarmingly loud either. I shoot in the backyard with pretty close neighbors.

Pros
For a generic hardwood stock it has beautiful grain and color. The overall fit and finish belies the low price. It is easy to use and is accurate.

Cons
The rear sight is rudimentary junk and snapped off trying to adjust it. The trigger is gritty and not light but is predictable, I suspect it will wear in with time.

put a scope on it from Wal-Mart shot maybe 75 pellets shooting very well at 20 to 30 yards very happy with this gun

Pros
light weight fun to shoot

Cons
none

It reminds me more of the older 262 Crosman with the steel breach mod. I just finished rebuilding that very gun. I was surprised to see how much it looked like my 1077 also! Check it out. :-)
