How To Choose the Correct Scope For Crosman 1337
You just need to make a couple of thing sure before buying a scope for your Crosman.
Mounting
As Crosman 1337 doesn’t have any mounting rail by default, you might want to invest on a picatinny mounting rail for Crosman. That will make sure you can use all the scopes/sights mentioned in this post. For dovetail however, you will require a dovetail rail.
Size
Make sure it’s not oversized compared to your gun. If you are going for an extremely long-range scope, it will be a bit bigger than the pistol. That will disorient the weight balance and not recommended at all.
Weight
Crosman 1337 is not the heaviest gun. As a bolt action rifle, it has a big of backwards weight distribution. You don’t want to add more weight towards the back to make it an imbalanced gun. That’s why go for a scope or sight that is quite lightweight.
Summary
Crosman 1337 is not a new gun. Its’s a popular air pistol that looks and feels cool to use. That’s why a lot of housing probably still has one of this lying around somewhere. Why not give it a new life with a makeover?
