Crosman Diamondback SBD, NP Elite

Perfect first break barrel for an adult. Very forgiving while also powerful & accurate. Cocking arm may require ice after long plinking or target sessions. Its fun to shoot & hard to put down.

Pros
This is my 1st break barrel. I have had it for a little more than 8 months. I have loved this .22 from the moment I opened the box. Its not too picky about pellets or really hold sensitive. The rifle is fairly accurate no matter what I do. However when I feed it crosman HP 13.4 or H&N 18.5 hunter extreams, & hold her just right. I can get sub MOA 5 round groups @ 25yds consistently. Im confident if had a longer yard it wouldn't take long to do the same @ 35yd or even 50. It didnt come with a scope & it broke 3 I put on it. I have a Hammers 4-12x40mm A/O on it for 3 months/600+ rounds I have to rezero occasionally but otherwise it has been a great combo.

Cons
None.

The photo is with Rifle Premium Round Pellets at twenty five yards. This gun loves them and The H&N Baracuda pellets.

Pros
Great gun!

Cons
Nothing

I truely am impressed with the .22 diamondback it has great power , is very quite, great for shooting , my neighbors cant hear it , we have invading raccoons every spring summer , its no problem taking them out with the diamondback at 25 yards no scope 1.5 inch groups sometimes 2 inch but thats on me. Its a year old and i put 2500 pellets thru it , avgs. 906 F.P.S. with crossman domed 13.7 grain pellets thats 24.98 F.P.E and avg.888 F.P.S.with 14.3 hollowpoint domed crossman pellets for raccoon shooting thats just over 25 F.P.E. this is one great of a break barrel air rifle thanks crosman

Pros
POWER ,ACCURACY, how it feels in hand, many pellets shoot great its not picky it takes out even large raccoons max ever 2 rounds

Cons
NONE TO ME

Pros
Heavy, I like that. Packs a wallop, mongoose goes into shock and then expires if it isnt dead instantly. I have a PCP scoped but needed a cheap break barrel for up close. Took one shot out of the box, adjusted and then dead center at 25 yards with the open sights (retired Marine so my eye relief and stock weld never vary). Just over a hundred bucks (no scope), long warranty. So far so good.

Cons
Every hand is different, arm length too, but my off-hand cups the front corner edge of the "magazine well" and if it was shaped differently, maybe rounded, I wouldnt notice. just a tiny bit louder than my bullpup, but still good.

Like very much,because it looks like the M16.

Pros
Nice tactical looks,hits hard,easy cocking,backyard friendly.

Cons
Little heavy

20yrds. Brand new yeah. Used a crappy 30mm, 3x9x40. Simmons scope. Perched on a caldwell scorpion rifle rest. Gamo rockets & hp worked well. This will only get better as the barrel seasons. Golden once a btter scope is mounted. Ordered, on the way. Cant wait to see this this uni hole the targets at 20. This will be mo fun at 50 yards. Buy it beyatches.

Pros
Quiet, punchy, poppy.

Cons
None really. A little heavyish. Good heavy.

I would suggest a good midrange scope for precise accuracy.

Pros
Everything (design, weight of rifle, quiet suppression, fps, accuracy, easy break barrell, stock/grip)

Cons
Equip with magazine for faster reloading on break barrel

I have the 177 version. It is a fantastic value for short, mid and long range shooting. Quality construction, ease of use, ergonomics, not pellet picky, quite, very powerful and accurate at all distances. I particularly prefer long distance shooting at 50, 100 and 100+ yards. Works great with Crosman 10.5's at under 50 yards. Works great with H&N Baracuda Match 10.65's at long distances even up to 150 yards. Make sure you fit it with a magnum power capable scope. Let's see how it does over years of use.....

Pros
Everything!

Cons
Nothing

Pros
VERY powerful and accurate once sighted in - even at longer ranges. I have killed pigeons (rats with feathers) perched in the tops of mature Douglas Fir trees at our house with one shot. You don't have to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars for a high pressure pump, but you can only load one pellet at a time. I currently have an open reflex sight and use Crosman hollow points.

Cons
Cocking the barrel gives you a good workout - especially if you miss and have to reload. The rifle could be a little lighter, and it has a little more recoil than a spring piston rifle.

Pros
This rifle hits hard! I mean pulverizes pigeons hard!!!!!Well made, I’m happy with the one AIRGUN DEPOT sent me! Mounted a Center Point 6-20x50 which works very well with the rifle not to mention makes the gun look very aggressive! Overall couldn’t be any happier with the rifle and scope pair!

Cons
None! Nothing to report!
