THIS GUN HAS PLASTIC FAKE WOOD THAT CAN EASILY BREAK ALONG WITH DIECAST METAL THAT SEEMS PRETTY SOLID. THE PUMPMASTER IS ALSO HARD TO CRANK FOR PROBABLY KIDS 11 AND UNDER. I WOULDNT USE THIS GUN FOR HUNTING RABBITTS OR SQUIRELLS BUT THIS GUN IS LIGHTWEIGHT SO IT DOESNT HURT YOUR ARMS CARRYING IT AROUND BUT YOUR ARMS WILL PROBABLY ALREADY HURT FROM CRANKING IT. IF YOUR A PERSON WHO LIKES SHOOTING TARGETS FROM FIFTY YARDS AWAY THEN THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD GUN FOR YOU. BUT IF YOU WANT A GUN SIMILIAR TO THIS BUT BETTER FPS AND ACCURACY YOU SHOULD GET THE CROSMAN RECRUIT.

It great so what if it's plastic it's still nice

shoots well just needed a little oil when i got it other than that it great for the price

needs more power but other than that vary good for the $$$.

I had one of these growing up. First the bads: Short pumping arm makes for pretty high effort. Max velocity is somewhere around 600 fps.

Now the goods: Very light weight, and sized for kids of 12 years on up to anyone. It is so light that it is no problem to hold it up, even for the weaker or less developed among us. Although it will shoot BBs, don't bother. The barrel is rifled, and I could occasionally see one corkscrew through my scope. Stick with pellets and put a good 4X scope on it. (like a Leapers BugBuster) and you're good to go.

Yes, the stock is plastic, but you're not going to break it unless you really abuse it. If you beat on it that hard, you deserve for it to break. The action is nice and smooth, and has a satisfying click-click when loading it. The loading channel is open, and much easier to load pellets into than the 2100 Classic.

The Recruit has the same action, but with a longer pump arm for easier pumping, and the adjustable stock. Slightly longer barrel too.

Its a pretty good gun for the price but only after owning it for an hour, the stock on the gun broke while pumping. Now im looking on getting the stock fixed. The plastic could be more stronger but overall its still a very sturdy gun.

I purchased this gun because it was a step-up from my Red Ryder... I only use BB/Pellet guns to shoot at targets, not animals etc...The only downfall to this gun is that the stock is made of plastic and broke within a half hour of using the rifle, I am currently looking to get it fixed or just purchase a metal stock (if I can) It has some power, definitely more than my Red Ryder and so far I have only used it to shoot soda cans.

Day one I snapped the stock pumping the gun (two pumps). Not of the same quality of my 760 I had as a kid thirty years ago. Other than returning the gun, I'm not sure what I'll replace it with.

This gun its very nice to be shooting from 50 to 100 yards l. I've had it for a year and stil works perfectly. It would last if u treat it well. Its juat that is a little hard to clean the inside.

Had my first 760 in about 1973, one of the last years it had a wood stock. My freind got a 760 a year later and it was plastic. We shot together. not just 760's but powder firing shotguns, rifles and pistols. We shot the 760's for fun and cost savings. We got alot of targets along with some birds and rabbits. We shot these guns for years(I still own mine), ran thousands of rounds through them and didn't break either. Real good fun gun.

I got this gun for my 12th birthday and shot maybe 100 bb's in a row strait out of the box. since then I've probably shot 10,000 bb's out of it with no problems. I'm 15 now and still have this gun. This gun is very durable in the fact of what I've done to it. Its been left out in the rain several times, didn't get completely soaked but pretty wet nevertheless, left in the dirt a couple of times, and still shots perfectly. If your looking for a first bb gun this is the one to get. I highly recommend it for years of enjoyment.

I have owned this gun for about 1 year now. yeah, it is a little hard to pump at first, but once you get used to it, it is a really powerful air rifle, and is definitely worth EVERY PENNY I spent on it. Shoots pellets and BB's just fine, and the stock is as sturdy as you can get it, ( IF you don't ABUSE it.) I recommend it to everyone.

I got this Gun when I was 13 and now i'm 16 and it still works great

I had one of these when I was a kid. I still have fond memories of it and can't wait to pass it to my daughters. I have a small gun collection but the one piece that is still missing (until my wife reads this) is the ole' pumpmaster. Ralphy had his Red Ryder.......only because he didn't know about the Pumpmaster 760. Best bb gun ever.

the gun shoots smooth, other than the accuracy sucks big time!!! no way to adjust the "windage" only to elevate the rear sight. the front fiber optic sight on mine will twist out of alignment which also causes it to shoot poor.

I got a pumpmaster 760 about 10 years ago when i was only 9. at first it was pretty difficult for my to pump up past about 4 or 5 pumps. but over time i got stronger. yes, the stock and pump are both plastic, however i have never had any problems with them braking in any way! I know mine has been dropped in rivers, on rocks, dropped of ledged landing on hard compacted dirt, or occationally on some rocks, and obviously its kinda beat up and scratched up but the plastic has never broken or cracked, and it still shoots fantastically. i absolutely would recomend to anyone looking for a good, fun, dependable little beginer bb/pellet gun! i still love mine. almost prefur it over my .243 (mainly because ammo is so much cheaper haha).

I got one about three years ago and it took six months for the stalk to break, and all I had to do ws duck tape it back. I gave that one to my cousin and he still has it. The next one I got i taped the stalk right off the bat, and it never broke, however it got given to my little brother. They're on rollback at Walmart and I'm going to get one in two days. They're a bit hard to pump, but you'll get better at it. I don't know why people don't hunt with these. Just buy some Destroyer EX pellets and you can one-shot a rabbit with ease. i highly reccomend this gun to anyone. The stock wont break if you put some tape on it, and you can buy some really good camo tape at Walmart

This is a great gun for target shooting or hunting small game.i bought this gun for myself to hunt small game along with my 2100.first the bad thing is that its a little hard to pump at first but overtime it will get easier.this gun is very powerful with the destroyer pellets i killed a squirel with one shot it knocked him right out of the tree.i also killed quit a few rabbits that were in my wifes garden they died instinillay.this is a great gun the plastic won't break in less your realy banging it around.

i have one for now about 6 years and nothing has broken on it. I shoot red squirres and other pests with it. I got a cheap scope for it and its a very good gun. The five round clip comes in handy for hunting.

the gun is all you could ever want in a air gun. it shoots straight ,it is accurate ,powerful ,and down right AWESOME.


i recommend it to all

all you need in a airgun. it shoots straight and it is powerful.i can kill birds from 50 feet with this gun.

This is a very nice weapon straight out of the box. I had bought it as my first airgun when I was 14. I am now 15 years. A year and a half later, and with a little oil every now and then, it still holds that same quality as it did when I first bought it. However, unfortunately, my stock also broke off at one point. My father and I just decided to cement it back together and it hasn't broken since with the repair. The plastic stock is the only downfall to the airgun itself. If you treat it with great care I guarantee you it will last a long time. But besides that, I feel that it functions as an above average weapon with certain qualities that deem it as a very great beginning rifle and a very affordable airgun. I would highly recommend it for young men who are also interested in target shooting.

This a great gun its light, powerful, and durable.This gun would be great for target practice or small hunting out to about 20 yards ive killed tons of rabbits and squirrels with it .Its a great starter gun i acutally take mine small game hunting with me but i would never shoot anything past 20 yards. its pretty accurate for the price you pay and the stock will not break unless your realy just banging it around now i going to pass it down to my younger brother this is a great gun. this is a great gun for anyone

its a good starter gun. accurate and powerful. i would suggest a scope though...sights could use some help. other than that its a good gun

i have gotten countless squirrels with this gun and many other large animals such as coons, rabbits, and many other animals

GOOD FOR SMALL ANIMAL HUNTING AND TARGET SHOOTING

The 760 is a nice little carbine with a five round clip, which is nice because you don't have to dig in your pocket for pellets between shots. Mine had a smooth bore barrel so accuracy wasn't ever that great. After a few months I broke the plastic stock clean off while pumping it. That was with pumping it 4-6 times.

Make this with a rifled barrel, wood stock, metal receiver, and this will be a great carbine.

The 760 B is a decent air gun especially at its price point, but it was and could be better. I collect air guns and currently own all but 2 variations of the model 760 and I have shot them all. My 760 B shoots 1 inch 5 shot groups at about 25 feet, not bad. my other 760s usually shoot groups half that size at the same distance. I can only assume that its because of the lack of rifling. all previous variations had rifling. 760s are often a young shooters first air gun and if they are successful they may become life long air gun shooters. The 760 B is still a lot of fun to shoot and a good value. I do hope that the redesigned 760 due to be out any time now, has rifling.

Last month me and my buddy picked up this bb gun. i have 6 different guns. Crosman Raven,Crosman Phantom 1000,Crosman recruit,Crosman 2100,Crosman M417[got yesterday] and this. this one is my favorite gun. killed 2 pesky rabbits and 1 squirrel with it. i put a 4X15 crosman scope on it and it works great. i would recomend this gun to biginner and nieghborhood shooters. BUY THIS GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first bb gun ever and it has definitely served its purpose. It is a great beginner gun and is very durable for the less experienced people. I now use a Crosman phantom 1000 and still finding myself shooting this for fun. This is a must buy for kids and adults, it is less powerful and very safe. A good gun to be your kids first! A MUST have.

amazing!

this was my first bb gun and i loved it . every day i would go out and shoot it. i was extremely pleased with it. it's perfect for young shooters around the age of 8 to 10 it's really really good. but each time u pump it it gets harder to pump but more power is added.

This is a very good gun. I like how it loads pellets and bbs

it broke after 500 pellets !!! but it is fun to shoot we where shooting at 78ft.

It is a great gun to shoot at targets and pest control.

This gun is ok i have shot bout 2,000 shots thru it and it still shoots good.This gun is special to me because i shot my first rabbit with it. BUY IT!!!

Got it with my own paper money, all by my self. Loved it. I bought it at Holiday gas station in Osseo MN.

I got my first Crosman 760 Pumpmaster back in the late 1980s while on family vacation in Maine. That little rifle was dead-on accurate and tough--yes it was plastic then too! I fired all manner of pellets and BBs through it without so much as a hiccup. I easily had 10,000 rounds through it. Nowadays, it resides at my parents' house in New Jersey where it is damn near impossible for me to legally transport it out of there due to New Jersey's Draconian laws that treat airguns as firearms.

My wife got me a new 760 Pumpmaster for Christmas. The locale where I reside now is perfectly OK with me plinking in the backyard. I'm happy to say that this rifle is just as good as it ever was, but that new pellet clip will take getting used to. I prefer the old style, since losing the pellet clip is a question of "when," not "if."

For those decrying the pump effort, I remember it being tough when I was a kid. Now that I'm much older and slightly stronger, it's a breeze. For those decrying the velocity, keep in mind you spent less than forty dollars. Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go? For those decrying accuracy, in 99.9% of all cases--with all guns--it's the shooter, not the gun.

This is a good gun a little hard to pump but don't pump it ofer 5 or 6 times or it shoot really inaccurate hold a good amount of bbs shoots like 700 fps good for pest control and target practice I shot 5 bottles in 5 shots from 35 feet away

A few days ago I bought a Daisy Model 880. It came with a scope and supposedly has a rifled barrel. It was terrible. Couldn't zero it in because of the wildly inaccurate groupings.
BBs flew in all different directions. Took it back, got a refund, and purchased the Pumpmaster 760, for about 12 dollars less. This little Crosman shoots very good. Haven't shot pellets but shoots BBs pretty accurately. I am going to go back and get a little Crosman scope to put on it. I consider the Pumpmaster to be a great little BB gun for the price.

I got this for Xmas and it is my best toy. Many people say that it is hard to pumpand, I'm 12 but it's easy after you break it in. I had my dad who was in the army sight it in and now I can shoot a rabbit from 45 yards no scope. Over all this is a great gun and I love it evan my grandpa has one. BEST GUN EVER!!

accurate strong good range all of this says the pumpmaster 760.

got one years ago loved it hit anything thirty feet to a block away . had it for twenty years it was the most accurate bb gun i ever had worked on it a lot then one day couldnt fix it any moore so brilled it to the wall looks good so i wanted another and wanted a scope it looked cool so bought a daisy 880 that thing woud not hit a six pack at 15 ft i feal bad bout not gitting another one ill trade a daisy powerline 880 brand new shot thirty times for a used crosman any day

I have had this gun for a little over 5 years now and have had no problems with it at all. I use this gun for target practice and for getting rid of the occasional varmit that comes around my house. Other reviews have said that it is not good for hunting or taking down large pests but i have taken down skunks, squrriels and birds numerous times with this rifle.

best gun ever

My cousin had one in the '70s with woood stock, broke the pump arm and replaced it with a newer plastic stock model. I bought mine in the mid '70s and we shot thousands of rounds through these guns. I recently found mine let my son play with it. It still shoots fair but can't hit top speeds any more. What a great gun to still function after 30+ years! We both now own 1377 and 2240 pistols and enjoy shooting them also.

Have had mine for several years and its still going strong. Great reliability and ergonomics. The sights are pretty useless after about 15 yds. BBs are so cheap though and if you shoot it enough you'll prolly just develop a feel for it. I seem to shoot it with more accuracy if I don't even use the sights. Point and shoot.

This gun is awsome you have to buy it. I shoot bird, frogs, and rabbits it works really good.

It shoots smooth but it has poor accuracy and everything breaks on it easily. I had one as a kid and i remember them being much tuffer.

I have an older version of this airgun(brown wood, thicker, different pump) and it performs amazingly well. It has rusted on the outside but functions like new. I would recommend this to anyone over 12 who is responsible.

I have been using this gun for a couple years to harrass squirels around my bird feeder. With BBs and 10 pumps (the max recommended), the gun won't kill a squirrel, but it makes them jump about 3 feet straight up when you hit them in the side or rear. My goal is not to kill them, just make them look for other sources of food. The rifle does have a lot of plastic, but, for the price what would you expect. Durability has not been a problem. I don't know what these people are doing to break the stock. The rifle was dead on accurate at 15 to 20 feet right out of the box. Pumping is not too difficult for an adult, but I suspect a 10 year old child would struggle. The gun is fabricated with a plastic swivel type tab covering a 1/4" diameter hole for loading BBs into the reservoir. It hasn't been a problem, but they could have done a little better. A bigger hole and more secure closure would have been nice. Everything considered, this is a great gun for target shooting with the grandchildren and harassing squirels. I would buy it again.

I had a 760 in the early 70's the first year they came out with the plastic stock and had no problems with it. I grew up on a farm and shot my 760 daily without any problems. Forward to 2012 when I bought my 9yr old son a 760 for his birthday only to have the stock brake within two days of use. I returned the gun where I purchased it and was givne another one. Three months have past and now my second gun also has a broken stock. I understant that things change over time, but the 760 of today is much too cheap to have my son fall in love with it only to have it let him down. Over all he loved the gun, but for the price I consider it disposable.

This gun is the best air gun money can buy for begginers. I have owned it for a couple of years and have loved it! It is great for killing small rodents if you pump it 6-8 times or more.It is also alto better if yiu add a scope for target practice or killing rodents it's the best gun money can buy. I would definitely reccommend this gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Very accurate even my 12 year old cousin can shoot this even when she holds it a little wrong. I believe the barrel is rifled for those people saying it isn't.
P/C: You can pump it like ten times for a power control. When you pump it 1-5 times do not expect long distance. 6-7 is about medium distance. 8-10 is pure awesomeness.
Cons: Plastic seems a little weak but as long as you don't melee someone in the face or something you should be fine. A bit hard to pump. Can actually make your arm sore if you pump and shoot all day long like i do.

I had one of these when I was a teenager. Never had a problem with it. Shot plenty of birds and rabbits with it. Not sure what I ever did with that one but I missed it so much I went and bought another and I am 30 years old now. As far as the plastic stock goes, the one I had years ago was also plastic and that never broke at all. Probably because I never held that part as I was pumping it. I remember always holding it between the trigger and the pump when I would pump it. And these guns have plenty of power and are quite accurate. Those complaining about the accuracy probably aren't aiming correctly.

I love the gun for what it is. A $30 pellet/bb gun that can take down birds and maybe squirrels with good aim. However the front sight is a little big and the stock broke after my second round of pumping it up. It was a easy fix though and now i have metal bracing on it. If you get this i suggest a scope and metal bracing for the joint between the receiver and butt-stock. Also note you should hold your hand on the receiver and not the stock when pumping, it's easier and is not likely to break like mine did.

just got the new 760 with upgraded stock and pump handle. so far i like it, its still a little short but im a grown man and this rifle is geared more for the youth shooter. the new stock has a nice cheek weld molded in, and the new pump handle is alot more comfortable in the hand, and is slightly narrower than the original. that said it does seem to be easier to pump than my other pumpmasters. i think its just due to the new pump handle having more in the way of leverage. mine did however have a loose buttstock bolt that needed to be tightened so be sure to check yours before first pumping. the only thing i dont like is still no rifled barrel.* ATTENTION CROSMAN* I MYSELF (AND MANY OTHERS LIKE ME) WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE A RIFLED BARREL FOR THE 760 AND WOULD PAY MORE FOR THE 760 IF IT HAD ONE !!$$$!!

I bought this gun about 3yrs ago for about $32. It showed very good accuracy until a chip appeared in the muzzle. One problem is as it grows older the power is reduced, at least in my gun, I now have to pump it about twelve times for adequate power. But having had over probably 10,000 rounds cycled through it, and numerous falls and other trauma it performs relatively well. I have never had an issue with any part of the gun breaking. Overall a great beginner gun.

I have killed birds and squirrels with this gun. Wish it had more power like 800 fps. Best bird control rifle ever.

Once when I was hunting birds with the pumpmaster, I seen a bird in a tree 30yds away, i shot and the bird died instantly. but i took that big green front sight off and it is so acurate without it. out of all of my eight bb guns my two pumpmasters are my favorite

rifle exelente economico y duradero se acaba de descomponer el mio me duro 4 años y esos 4 años fue un exelente rifle por que es presiso silencioso y potente con el podia matar: conejos palomas codornises cuerbos ratas ardillas y liebres si el modelo 2012 es tan bueno como el 2008 lo recomiendo el unico problema fue montarle una mira telescopica 4x15 ya que el riel no se fijaba bien en los anillos

I have had mine for quite some time, and has terrible sights. I put a 12x scope on it, and can now shoot 15 shots in a quarter-sized group, but only with pellets. BB's are way to inaccurate. The pellet clip is extremely handy, and overall it is a great gun.

I have had this gun for 5 yrs. now the only time it fails is when its dirty. Its rusty ,but its still capable of taking down a squirrel,birds, and rabbits.

This gun is good but you have to me strong to pump it the gun is very lightweight.

This is a great gun. So what if its made out of plastic...... it will last as long as you don't hit stuff with the stock. After a few shots the gun is kinda hard to pump and makes you not very accurate. Also if you load the bb before you pump the gun it will fall out of the barrell..... and sometimes it will fall out even if you pumped first.

I love this rifle. The plastic stock leaves something to be desired but the accuracy for a $35 Walmart bought air rifle, awesome. I added a scope and laser to mine and I can get a 2" group from about 20 yards and a 3/4" group from 10 yards with .177 pellets +5 pumps. BB's are not even close to being accurate. I can hit the 6" target from 10 yards and didn't even try from 20 yards. Through the scope I can see the bb's swerve left and right. I cannot conceive of trying to hit a target from 50 or 100 yards like some of the other reviewers suggested. I plan on taking out some rats with this gun and then I am going to give it to my son. He isn't strong enough to hold or load my Titan XL but the carbine size and weight of this gun is ideal for him.

Got my first 760 about two weeks ago at a Granbury Walmart. Also picked up three 500 round tins of Crosman Premier hollow point pellets (morons only stock those and the Destroyers, so bought two tins of those for crow control), a 6,000 count jar of Copperhead BBs, and a 4x15 Targetspotter scope. Got home, set up a target, bench rest and a comfy chair, just started popping away. Must've gone through half a tin that time alone. Should've gotten some oil too, been about 1,000 rounds downrange without any lube.

With BBs, I can shoot about 3/4-inch groups at 20 yards (from one end of my back yard to the other, give or take a foot). Pellets, on a good day I can fire fifty shots, and only put one hole in the target, on a bad day I can hold about a 1/4-inch group.

My only real complaint is that the body was cracked out of the box (right where the stock screws in), and that the stock was a little loose and wobbly. Nothing a quick twist of a screwdriver couldn't fix though. Like some others, I've had a problem with the plastic cracking, again where the stock and body meet. Just got around to duct-taping it together, planning on supplementing that with some leather tomorrow. In the event that someone from the company actually reads this, I'd recommend either strengthening that area, or making it one -solid- piece of plastic, and I emphasize the solid. Might up the price by a buck or two, but it would be well worth the investment.

I only have two regrets about buying this beauty of a gun. The first is that I forgot the oil, and can already feel things starting to seize up. My second regret is that I waited until I was 19 to buy the damn thing. It's a major improvement over what's left of my old Daisy guns (Red Ryder with a shattered stock and broken sights, and a Grizzly that's in more pieces than I can count).

well, this is my second airgun and it is very good for the price. at first for me it was very hard to pump but after having it a month it is the easiest airgun I have ever pumped. I tested the gun on chickens, and it can kill one with 3 pumps, it has a good amount of power. This gun is moderately acurate, but I would reccomend getting a scope.


Pros:
.very powerful
.pretty good accuracy
.can kill small animals with only 3 pumps

Cons:
.hard to pump at first.
.the sight at the end sometimes twist to the side if you drop it

I got this for my 10 year old for christmas, in 2010. He was excited, until he shot it. He could get one pump on it back then (now that he is 12 he can pump it about 5 or 6 times). The rear sites move (they are clamped on). The front sights moved all over the barrel. This thing could not be shot through the included sights.

Before giving up and thorwing the thing in the trash, I figured I would spend $12 on the scope crosman makes to put on it. The scope made the rifle worth having. My son can now use it to shot targets.

I have taken the rear site off (one tab broke), and will remove the front site once I get a muzzle break to protect the end.

I would recomend this to a friend, but only if they buy a scope to put on it.

Off of the shelf, I would give this two stars, but with the scope, and no sights I would say 4 stars. Since I had to get the scope seperate, I am giving it 3

Crossman should either replace the sights with better ones, or just ditch them completly, and include the $12 scope with this gun.

this is a good gun but it is hard to pump ten times but other than that, it is a good gun!

my first bb gun and the best one and easy to pump

OK, I got into air guns a little late. Like 50 years later than I could have I guess. inherited my grandfathers Daisy Modle 25 pumper and decided that I needed to find something better. got a PC77 then a 1322. On a whim I bought a 760 and a Daisy 880 pumper the same day. I really LIKE the 760! right out of the box it popped one into the 10 ring from 30 ft. I use it indoors a bit and outdorrs too. seems to be powerful enough to nail what I want with even 8 pumps and has the same mechanicals as the 1322 and pc77. Stock seems fine, a little cheap maybe, but the darn thing was like $35 so who am I to complain.
I really like the little clip that the thing uses! a nice feature. keep a couple of those in a shooting pouch and you can reload easily from the tin and not have to fumble around for the next pellet. My grand son't nerf dart gun seems to be built about as well in the plastics department, but it keeps it light and inexpensive and it is a pretty good deal for what it really is! The daisy was $10 more and I should have saved the money and gotten something else. I like the trigger on the 760 too, smooth and easy, nice break too. The only reaason to not give it 5 stars is the cheap plastic. but you can't have everything!

I got my gun 3 years ago the stock broke in 2011, but it was taped back on.

I have very fond memories with this gun, I shot my first squirrel with it. Its gone threw a lot of wear and tear but it still fires, nearly everything has broken off except the bolt pull. So I put a scope on it and it still works very well. Since I have upgraded to more serious pellet rifles but this gun always has me coming back to shoot it.

the pumpmaster 760 is the first airgun crosman ever made i use it for every thing from hunting to target shooting i put a scope on it and it is accurate I really love this gun. The ammo I use is crosman copperhead bbs, crosman destroyer ex pellets, crosman hunting pellets, and crosman wadcutter pellets. I hope this will help you make a decision.
