long breech. It sounds stupid but it's actually a couple dollars cheaper.
DON"T buy the scope whatever you do. It's a parallax nightmare. I'd recommend the williams notched sight. If you have really good eyes, you can try the peep, but be prepared to replace it if you do. I like the muzzle brakes with the built in pin. THe plastic ones get knocked around really easily, and I like the setscrew on the brakes.
I like the 10.1 inch 22 barrel, because to me it still has maneuverability but is not as front heavy as the 14 inch. I like 22. It fits my type of shooting. I don't have the precision for the .177, so I went for the highest, heaviest, hardest hitter.
I can shoot ISSA targets and still have a pretty good shot at knocking them over if I'm not perfect. Plus ISSA has an aos pistol class that uses a barrel length of 10.25 inches so 10.1 is perfect if you ever want to compete. It's fun too. Ours is through the local 4-H.
I don't think a crosman is available in .22 with the choked barrel. I know they are in the .177, but it's not available in the custom series. I went for all the toys on my 2300, even down to the cocobolo grips. I hate the scope, but I love everything else. I'll keep shooting with it though, until I can shoot really well with it. Then I will clean up at the next meet.
But none of that matters very much, because I got what I wanted. Now you get what fits your shooting style. If you are a precision shooter, the choked barrel may matter, but to be honest from what I see on the range, a choked barrel is overkill. I just hope you get what you want. and I hope I helped. |

A true muzzle brake re-directs expanding gases behind the projectile to control recoil or muzzle rise. Suppressors/moderators/silencers absorb sound energy, but in the U.S. are strictly controlled by the feds. In airgun parlance a muzzle brake will often be just a weight - to control muzzle rise, to reduce barrel vibrations, to hide sight mounting holes, to extend sight radius, as a cocking aid in barrel cocking guns, or just to look cool. Another variation is an air stripper, which diverts expanding gases to reduce turbulence behind the projectile.

In a choked barrel the bore is a little narrower near the muzzle to squish ("size") the pellet for a uniform fit as it exits. |

Suppressor option? I do not believe that is an option or Crosman would be in direct, undebatable violation of federal law. Post a link to what you are talking about. |

CHOKED-- not chocked. I think Crosman calls their best barrels "match" instead of "choked"...in either case, it means the barrel is so much more accurate that it is suitable for accuracy competition. In my experience, the regular Crosman barrels are way more accurate than I am..  |
