: 2300 has a new look
: November 15, 2006, 07:41:00 AM
This is my custom shop 2300 with a set of Rick's wonderful grips. These are an ambidextrous design in Walnut. They feel every bit as great as they look, and the pistol balances just about perfectly. (http:///images/happy.gif)
(this was supposed to show the sight picture...looks like I kinda goofed. oh well.) (http://mouse.trincoll.edu/~jonathan/airgunstuff/mypistols/custom2300/joben2300_4.jpg)
other info: 10.5" Crosman .177 barrel Long Steel Breech. Hammer Debounce Device. LPA rear sight. 2250 fiber-optic front sight.
Valve and related springs and ports are all stock as of now.

Crosman Custom shop 2300's. Basically a 2240 with some options. Joben's is sporting a beatiful set of Rick Andres grips, and mine has a set of maple/walnut grips that I made, polished steel bolt and bolt handle from Art at Arts Shack, full length brushed aluminum barrel shroud by Roy at Mountain Air, and a BSA Red Dot. Really comfy and nice to shoot pistols....my first runner up next to my custom QB's....wish I owned 10 more:)

Wow I just priced one out, a little over $100... NOT BAD AT ALL. I might try to piece one togeather. Any caliber that would be recommended? Also is it a viable hunting handgun? Say max distance of 20-25 yards..

Well power with a 14" barrel in .22 should be a bit over 8 fpe, ~500 fps with 14 grain pellets...Hits with a pretty decent smack. Expect about 450 with the 7.5" and somewere i the middle with the 10" of course.
Thats stock proformance mind you...If you're at all DIY inclined you can modify them for more power :D
I realy realy like these guns. I also have a heavily modified 2250 rifle, which is basicaly the same thing. (http://mouse.trincoll.edu/~jonathan/airgunstuff//shootingbox2.jpg)
