Big Dan's Airguns-Crosman Icon .177 review (UK SPEC). 

I picked up my Icon in .22 from Dan at the weekend. He did me a cracking deal including the konus scope in 6-24 and mounts. I was really impressed with the konus at that price point. Instantly impressed by the clarity. The rifle itself works really nicely and I enjoyed shooting it at the range on Sunday. I've got it primarily for rabbit work on my friends land where I didn't want to take my wooden stock rifles out and about including climbing onto the storage container roof as its a great vantage point. The magazine is excellent and everything worked smoothly. Especially after the mechanism and barrel had a couple of hundred pellets through it. Nice and accurate, for the money you can't beat it. I did add a Hogan decimeter and it's whisper quiet now. Very pleased and it was great chatting to Dan.

Thanks for the review! This air rifle has it's roots in the Beeman QB series of rifles. The Beeman Chief 2, with the magazine and fill position, to be exact. Other versions are the Umarex Gauntlet with a bottle and the Barra 1100Z which has a side lever breech. This is what Crosman and Benjamin are doing these days. They contract with Kral (Benjamin) or a Chinese manufacturers (Crosman) and make a few changes to put their "Label" on it!

Great review of great little gun Dan 👍🏻

Looks like a bargain starter gun for someone getting into PCP shooting. Good review Dan as always

Looks a bargain at that price, and using those BSA Gold Star ammo, those result's were impressive in that wind too. Great review as always Dan and thanks for sharing..

Another cracking review mate, and for the price i would say it would be really hard to beat, and would make a great pest/ratting rifle, Cheers mate 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

When it leads in it will be very nice. Nice fair review Dan 👍

Great shooting Dan, and what a great bargain g PCP!

The Icon is 7 lbs where the Stormrider is 5 and that's including the silencer it comes with, for less money. This thing had better be regulated to be any competition to the Stormrider.

That's a sweet rifle! Has everything going for it.

I got my US spec ICON in .177 in Nov 2023 and out of the box, untouched, it was shooting 8.3grn pellets at 1150PFS and it was LOUD! Tuned it way down (800FPS) to make it more accurate and backyard friendly. Great value when on sale. At full price, the Avenger is a better deal.

Looks pretty accurate 🙂👍

Nice to not Wait till Christmas for Another Video mate. 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣

I got in touch re: the Reximex Pretensis Walnut before Easter, and in the immortal words of Diana Ross "I'm Still Waiting"

nice review

Think you underestimated yourself mate. That was superb shooting, especially with a springer! 😎👍

There is a stock for this which highly improved the riffle the company is Buckrail-line

If you can't get Daisy pellets to try no worries...the H&N Terminator gives very similar performance as far as expansion and accuracy. Both are excellent for pest control and minimizing passthroughs. Both are also better than Gamo Red Fire in my opinion not to mention more affordable as well. Really surprised by the accuracy of this budget gun.

Goldstars .. very impressive ... tried em in .22 and were very good , but strangely enough , I never got round to trying them in .177 ... dunno why , I think im in the QYS fan club at the moment , though H&N have some really good pellets out there now , at one time ( but a few years back ) I wouldn't have given a dogs fart for a tin ... anyway , as far as budget guns go , yes , its a bit of a bargain .. but as far as price goes , where does " budget END , and mid price START ... id say £270 is well in the budget category though ... up to the individual I guess where the cost parameters lay ... twas a damn good review , as I've got used to expect .. think if I did buy this rifle , I'd take that sight thing off the end ..

Sorry, I'm a bit late to this party but, I've been looking for a budget pcp for some pest control work. I'd like it to be able to take a bipod, but notice this has no 6 o'clock pic rail to it. Would it be a relatively simple task to retro fit a pic rail to it?

Good competitor to the Gamo/BSA GR 40. I'd choose the Gamo if only because it's British built (mostly) rather than a Chinese rebrand.

Imagine for a moment Crosman had put AR buffer tube compatible moulding aft and supplied the gun with a cheap AR butt. Perhaps even something that could be adjusted for length of pull? And perhaps even a cheap AR handgrip too. It wouldn't have added much to the price.

Test them with the crone and it may show the flyers.

Not bad gun man nice con from Ireland 🇮🇪

Any chance you can review ZBROIA Hortitsia Mk3 with side lever and strip mag

So wanted one these as love my Crossman 2240 and 2260 so love a pcp but bought a beeman cheif just before this was released think might have to you a call for one

Why not have just waited to give each pellet a much fairer opportunity, instead of rushing on a crazy wind day?

Magazine looks like a Beeman unit ?

This action looks like the remington air cobra in a different stock

How to buy the air gun

Made in America? It looks like another Chinese clone of the Dina Stormrider platform.

That’s needs a Turkish Tinkerer

terrible trigger as well as atrocious weather, what can go wrong. Under these circumstances, the Crosman worked pretty well.

AMERICA!!! (made in china)
