Crosman 362 Air Rifle .22 Bolt Action Variable Pump Black

The Crosman 362 Air Rifle .22 Bolt Action Variable Pump Black is a versatile multi-purpose airgun engineered for shooters transitioning from rimfire or seeking a low-recoil, low-cost training platform. Whether you're developing marksmanship fundamentals, conducting backyard pest control, or introducing new shooters to rifle mechanics, this bolt-action .22 caliber platform delivers the reliability and accuracy expected in tactical training environments. Its compact 39.25-inch profile and 5.47-pound weight make it ideal for extended shooting sessions without fatigue.

Built around a smooth bolt-action mechanism and variable pump system, the Crosman 362 allows shooters to modulate power delivery by adjusting compression strokes—typically ranging from single to multi-pump capability per shot. This variable power design eliminates the need for ammunition selection; one rifle accommodates diverse target distances and energy requirements. The black synthetic furniture and rugged construction provide weather resistance essential for field operations, while the bolt-action design ensures mechanical simplicity, fast manual cycling, and zero electronic dependency. The .22 caliber centerline minimizes recoil impulse, enabling rapid target reacquisition and precise shot placement during extended drills.

Law enforcement academies and military training units leverage .22 airguns like the Crosman 362 for low-cost ammunition economies and noise-compliant indoor range work. Hunters and civilian marksmen benefit from the adjustable power envelope, which scales energy for small game or competition paper targets. Field shooters appreciate the manual pump system's mechanical reliability—no batteries, no moving parts to fail under thermal stress. The rifle's dimensions and handling characteristics mirror conventional centerfire platforms, making it an excellent progression tool before advancing to centerfire systems. Standard .22 pellet ammunition compatibility ensures supply chain flexibility across commercial and tactical supply channels.
