Well, it is a somewhat sad day for me because I'm selling the first high quality airgun that I ever purchased, a
Crosman 1760SE. Don't feel too sorry though because the reason I can part with this little gem is that I picked up an R7 at an estate sale over the winter that now serves as my mid-powered go-to gun. So, it's time to fill a hole in my collection with a more powerful springer.
My little 1760SE is not quite two years old with about 300 or 400 pellets through it. I applied Diamus'
2 screw trigger modification to it, and it went from an okay trigger to a very, very nice trigger (though obviously not a Rekord). It has no dings, scratches, or rust on the wood or metal at all as I always wiped it down with a silicone rag after each session. The rear sight was bent during initial shipping, but Crosman sent a replacement as soon as I told them about it. Oddly enough, I never installed it once I got the scope mounted becuase it balances well enough with the
CenterPoint 6x32 that it didn't seem to be worth the effort. I'll include the extra rear sight with the gun.

The 1760SE differs from the 1760 in that it has a steel breech with regular dovetails, so mounting optics is a breeze.
The scope has an illuminated reticle and adjusts from 3 yards to infinity
Here's what it is capable of at 17 yards with 4 different pellets for 10 shots each. I didn't get to shoot the RWS Hobbys because my 5 year old woke up from her nap early and wanted to play with Daddy ... cse la vie. The black part of the bulls are 1 inch across for reference, and I put an orange sheet of paper behind the target for the picture. Starting from the top and moving clockwise. I've added the Chrony numbers in a reply below this post.
- The Crosman Destroyers had one flyer (called) with 2 pellets that hit low when I miscountd the shots remaining in my CO2 cartridge. With those two in there the CTC was .634 inches, discounting them give a CTC of .318 inches
- RWS Superdomes had a .661 CTC
- JSB Exacts gave .376 CTC
- Beeman Crow Magnum had one flyer (called) with .715 CTC
These numbers are pretty close to what Rick Eutsler got when he reviewed this little rifle last year.
It's a great plinker, is good for small birds such as House Sparrows, and is just the right size for a small framed adult or teenager wanting to shoot a "real pellet gun". I'm asking $150 shipped to your door, and that includes the gun, scope, and mounts. I'll take PayPal, money order, or personal check
