The Crosman 2100 Classic .177 dual ammo  pneumatic variable pump rifle.

Remember Airguns are not toys. Misused they can cause serious injury or death. Read All Cautions and instructions before handling.

Always wear approved shooting glasses and ear protection when needed.

Above: There it is, in all it's metal receiver glory. First, lets talk about this dual ammo thing. If you have a rifled barrel you should probably take advantage of that and use pellets. If you want to ruin your rifled barrel and don't care much about accuracy then use BB,s

Above: There she is, the metal receiver. That my friends is why I had to purchase this air rifle. I remember the first time I saw a Crosman pneumatic with a plastic receiver. Something inside me died that day. ltms... Here was an airgun I had dreamed of owning as a boy. And seeing it with that plastic receiver, all I could say was "why would Crosman do this?" I said the same thing about Ford Motor Company when I saw the 1974 Mustang. So both Crosman and Ford have made amends.

Above: That slot I am guessing is the magazine for the BB"s that I will never put in it. The Scope is called  "The Targetfinder" Superscope. Good name for it. I did spend a lot of time trying to find the target. This is a scope for young eyes. I'm not even gonna bother commenting on the Superscope part. I bought this rifle without the scope.
So, why put this scope on it. Well, because this is the scope it would have came with. I don't really plan on using this rifle much.  And that's ok. I bought it for the 13 year old boy who wanted it 50 years ago.

Above: This could be misunderstood. It is a 4 X fixed magnification scope with I am guessing a 15 mm lens. It does say you can focus the eye piece and it has a lock ring. I haven't tried that yet. Like I said, this is a scope for young eyes.

Above: The trigger is a real challenge. The pull goes on forever and it's a real work out. I brought the 2100 inside after sighting it in at close range. I told my wife "the trigger pull is 10 pounds if it's an ounce. Well it came in at 5 lb 13 oz to 5 lb 15 oz. It felt much heavier than that. I think the trigger was a little too close for me. I'll try to adjust my hold next time.

Above: The forearm / pump lever handle felt wider than I would have expected. It was actually quite comfortable. No complaints there. I didn't get a chance to chrony test the 2100. But rumor has it the actual fps is a bit lower than the 800 fps advertised on the box.
I would expect the fps to be around 600 fps. This is odd, On the box it says 12 pumps up to 800 fps. I am sure I read in the manual not to exceed 10 pumps..ltms

Above: It is a nice looking rifle. The 2100 measures out at 38 & 1/2 inches approx. With the scope it weighs (on my scale) 4 lbs 5.5 oz.

Above: The high viz front sight looks more than adequate. My iron sight days are over. The rear sight looks the same as it always has. If you are determined to ruin the rifling in your barrel, it has a BB capacity of 850.

Above: The stock is plastic and will never be mistaken for wood. But it looks good. The plastic stock and forearm don't bother me at all. They have been plastic as far back as I can remember.

Above: As I said this sight hasn't changed much in my lifetime. You can see why it's called an elevation ramp sight. It must work ok. I'm sure they would have replaced it by now if it didn't.

Above: It's late now. I had to take a flashlight with me to get this picture. This is as good as I could do with that trigger and scope today. If I can soften the trigger up a bit and keep the sun at my back, I'm sure I could do a little better.

Above: The breech open. I really like the look of this breech. Once you get a technique that works for you, it's not that bad to load.
If you can find a way to soften the trigger pull and invest in a better scope. This Crosman 2100 Classic could be a nice close range small pest control rifle.
