After inheriting my father's gun collection I've gotten to play around with all kinds of different guns. Everything from ars to benchrest guns to silenced 22s.. Recently picked up a red Ryder bb gun and I'll be damned if that is what I shoot most. I leave it at my back door and just walk outside and ding pine cones.. Im looking to buy one of these to satisfy what I'm looking for. I love guns, really love guns. Airguns are so fun though man are they fun! Way funner than spending 200 dollars for a half day of shooting!!
I clicked this and saw a guy aiming a pistol at targets with cars driving by behind it lol. Then I realized it was only a pellet gun and his angle wasn’t near the cars but at first I had a “oh shit” moment lmao 😂
I liked and enjoyed. Right now, I own a .22 CROSMAN 2500 from the CROSMAN CUSTOM SHOP. I really love this gun! But you should know, airguns are like cats.......you can't have just ONE. I'm I probably going to buy Crosman a 2240 XL.
I recently acquired a 2240XL, and I also have a red dot sight on it. I just ordered a Buck-Rail suppressor to keep it quiet for indoor shooting. It's kinda loud inside, but outdoors not so much. I'm also waiting on my 1st .25cal airgun to arrive. It's the Hatsan Airtact that was on sale @Pyramydair for $89.99 with budget scope included. Not a magnum rifle, but it slings 25cal pellets with authority.
We have some random pieces of iron that work really good! Found an old water meter cover buried in the dirt near our house.. man that thing makes a hardcore SLAP sound!! Dayum!
You need to get the Webley Nemesis and Diana Chaser, I have them in .177 and they are awesome and no need to add a steel breech and both have nicer triggers. I also shoot a Weirauch PW40 (the absolute best trigger), Beeman P17 and Crosman 1377, 1322, 2300s and like you just added the incredible 2240XL.
The Diana Chaser doesn't have the power as expected besides that the velocity in cooler weather is ridiculously low so basically ur paying for the name & the appearance definitely not the performance!
I have 5 2240 all but one is modified longer barrel Steel breach and stock also the one is 2300 pistol God bless brother I think if your modify I'm a little bit you'll enjoy them a whole lot more they hit harder after they've been modified a little bit enjoy
Just subscribed, good video, I'm on the 2240 train also, and surprisingly I've been modifying two in ways similar to yours. I have gone down the Diana Chaser path also, because we all know how many air pistols are enough . . . just one more.
1377,1322,2240 I like them all,,they're Legendary air pistols,,I love to shoot them,but getting old I will just use 2240 no pump required..Options are endless...
@@hundopow3578I enjoyed your review and I agree whole heartedly with your sentiments about the 2240. Regarding Co2 guns, I was never satisfied with their derived power ( I own 16 PCP rifles and pistols and only a couple of CO2s). Last week I bought a Crossman 2240 (standard) from a private individual on Ebay. I didn't know what I was getting into. After making the purchase, I had misgivings. When the package arrived and I opened the box, I have to say right off, hefting the pistol in my hand, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of its build. It does not feel cheaply made. It feels ""American Made!" But what truly won my heart was the punch it had with a .22 pellet! END RESULT: A day hasn't passed where I haven't picked it up and tacked some targets. I can see now why it's such a long lasting and popular gun. BTW, I just ordered a GravMag 5 (specifically for the 2240 with a plastic breech) from James Thorogood in the U.K. That's not the end of it; I also put into Pyramyd Air to notify me when their stock of XL's is replenished. With all the variations and mods this gun is capable of, I'm going in for the long haul! I subscribed to your channel (with a bell!) . I'll be looking out for you. :)
@@jefbretschneider1607 the gravmag has been running smoothly thus far! Still early but I it's looking like a winner. I am testing a couple different pistols at the moment, one CO2 and one PCP, vids to come.
Waiting on a gravmag to arrive along with a few other parts. I will make a video on the final result. I am skeptical when it comes to magazines for bolt action air guns, hoping for a pleasant surprise.
@Renegadebroadcasting Renegadebroadcasting There is the occasional problem where one substandard pellet, with a funky skirt, will jam the feed, but overall, they are few and far, and when there is a jam , it can easily be cleared, with no damage to the gun or magazine. I'm really quite pleased with its performance. (The inventor of the gravmag is out of the U.K. and he sells it online, totally legit!). I only wish for a larger mag hold. The 5 magazine model I own empties quite fast. ENJOY!!
the only time I have ever noticed any hiccups feeding pellets in on a day with high humidity, but even then its so few and far between I don't consider it an issue.
I really love this gun but the only thing that makes me not buying it is that it dont have a magazine and i dont like the gravity ones that are 3 party.
It's just too good as a strait up pistol, I can't use it any other way. The standard 2240 is great with the stock and good on its own. The XL is great on its own.
The XL and the Chaser are very different animals. In true pistol form... I take the XL all day, but if I'm throwing a shoulder stock on and making them into a mini carbine form... I'm taking the Chaser.
The optic is a -UTG Reflex Micro Dot, the mount is a -Nc Star MAD3/8PS dovetail to picatiny adaptor and the grip is a-Hogue 17110 HandAll Grip Sleeve...the little piece of rail on the very back is just spare m-lok/pic rail portion that i glued to the top , I originally tried the optic back there but moved it up and just left the little rail portion on the back because I like the look.
Not yet but it's on my radar. I am building/customizing my standard 2240 model currently. I'll post a video when it's finished, I plan to try out the Gravmag on it.
Waarum schiesst der immer daneben?Ich hab auch die 2240,seit Jahren,als sie zum ersten Mal importiert und zugelassen wurde,und,hallo,mit Anschlagschaft und Red-Dot kann man auf die geringe Entfernung, die er schiesst,doch garnicht daneben schiessen... natürlich auch nicht mit Standard Visierung,also,der Typ muss noch etwas üben 😏huch, später gesehen,das er rechts unten geschossen hat und nicht auf die Metallscheiben...
Intriguing choice of backstop for your target range. It only takes one stable genius to ruin it for the rest, so why take such a silly risk? The genius part is that you then immortalize it by posting a video on TH-cam. 🤣
For me, regardless of what type of gun I'm shooting, if it's cold say sub 35 I'm not going out anyhow. But yea, noticeably different experience from a performance perspective on a co2. PCP's and Nitro Piston's seem to be unaffected for the most part.
“I just don’t like pumping anymore” ... Brother I feel ya!

Great info man. I have a 1377 & 1322 pumper, and I love them. But I want that 2240XL !!
You're a good shooter. No misses.

Great review. Makes me want to construct a target set up like yours.
Thank you, I use aluminum plates, the video doesn't do the sound justice. They sound alot better when hit
I was thinking the same. A dueling tree seems a nice thing, with it's many target sizes.

You're going to be addicted to it if you aren't already. I have videos 📹 on the 2240XL & several others I'm sure you'll enjoy

Those plinking sounds are so pleasing to my ears.

@@BigDawg76773 put a hand warner around the co2 chamber , it will help
Good video. I have one tricked out. with 30MM Red Dot and other stuff. 1/2" groups sometimes at 20 yards. amazing gun...

Very nice video , and liked your action
Excellent video
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
nice reports :)
I own the 2240xl and I believe it is more than a plinker, I believe I could harvest a Sasquatch with this gun .
May, 2023. What is the brand of the dueling tree target? It seems to work very well
Crosman, it has held up well so far
HI. Please, help me. I have a crossman 2240xl. I want a picatini for these, but where I can buy? Please, help. Thanks
I have 2x 2240 5.5 mm. Greetings from Europe.
You should look into a Grav-Mag?
They work so well with all my .22 and .177 Crosman.
Looks like a winner! I'm gonna have to! Maybe make for a good video topic. Thanks for the recommendation!

Nice gun. Can you share the link of the rail and sight?
Everything is on Amazon
Do you find any difference in accuracy between the 2240 and the 2240XL ?
Without the stock, I shoot the xl a little better
Cool
What size Houge Grip fit the 2240XL so nicely ? Was it a small or large ?
It's the universal grip sleeve for mid/full size grips. Not the one for small/micro compact
@@hundopow3578 Thanks ! Great Video !
You have your back to us and we cant see whats going on
Were did you find that gray stock?
OR DID PAINT IT.
Yes I Painted it
@@hundopow3578 Noice liked the color.👍
What rail adapter did you use on your 2240xl? And what red dot sight are you using?
"NC STAR" rail adaptor
And I think the red dot I was using at the time this video was made was a "Leapers UTG Micro Dot"
@@hundopow3578 thank you. Just bought a utg 3.8 red/green dot with a low profile 11mm to 20mm adapter. Hope it works as well. BTW, love the 2240xl.
Magazines are available on eBay for the 2240. Printed from carbon reinforced nylon. I have fitted a 10 shot to mine

I really love this gun but the only thing that makes me not buying it is that it dont have a magazine and i dont like the gravity ones that are 3 party.
Which red dot works good?
Bushnell RXS 100
Just curious if it’s actually possible to modify it for.22 bullets?
No clue on that
@@hundopow3578 thanks buddy
Why don't you use the shoulder stock on the 2240 xl?
It's just too good as a strait up pistol, I can't use it any other way. The standard 2240 is great with the stock and good on its own. The XL is great on its own.
Your choice,, 2240xl or Diana Chaser. You have tested both
The XL and the Chaser are very different animals. In true pistol form... I take the XL all day, but if I'm throwing a shoulder stock on and making them into a mini carbine form... I'm taking the Chaser.
Can you list the parts you used for your setup please looks awesome
The optic is a -UTG Reflex Micro Dot, the mount is a -Nc Star MAD3/8PS dovetail to picatiny adaptor and the grip is a-Hogue 17110 HandAll Grip Sleeve...the little piece of rail on the very back is just spare m-lok/pic rail portion that i glued to the top , I originally tried the optic back there but moved it up and just left the little rail portion on the back because I like the look.
@@hundopow3578 Thanks for the fast reply. Great video
Great video thank you. How did you set up those hanging targets?
hooks
@@hundopow3578 what are the actual targets?
aluminum plates
Have you tried the Gravmag? Maybe make a great gun better
Not yet but it's on my radar. I am building/customizing my standard 2240 model currently. I'll post a video when it's finished, I plan to try out the Gravmag on it.
Is that a break Barrel???
No
How l get this in India on which cost?
Can you use a magazine with this ?
Look up gravmag on youtube
No, it's simply a single shot
Ciao sono Carmine da Milano il prezo 4.5.grazie carabina
My 2240xl is accurate, but how do you adjust the trigger for lighter pull.
Look up gravmag on TH-cam, he makes adjustable springs for the 2240
You can just compress it by pinching it, and it’ll make your trigger way lighter
What will be the cost in India
Like 5000 rupee?
😍Loved👍🏻
It will knock a gopher into the dirt for sure.
I much rather have a Ruger Mark lll. That me tho
Haven't ever shot any of the Mark Pistols. I like what Volquartzen does with that platform.
There extremely accurate, Reliable, 22 LR rim fire. Pistol I LOVE EM
@Robert Kuhnke WOW i never had any problems with mine. I keep a new recoil buffer in it to ~ Diesel will work as a lubricant its got oil in it
