I just purchased this pellet gun for my 12 year old son after his old pump action pellet/bb gun gave out. This is a serious little rifle; great for target practice as it’s very accurate even at 25-35 yards. It’s rated at 625fps but I believe with a fresh Co2 that it’s a lot quicker than that. Just make sure that you have plenty of space or a safe, confined area to shoot. This isn’t a backyard city home .177
I would also suggest buying the 3 pack of extra rotary clips. It’s easy to go through one of the 12 round clips in a matter of a minute. The gun comes with 2 and the extra 3 make all the difference when you’re out shooting.

This ‘Crosman’ 1077 air-rifle is a 12 shot semi-auto rifle, and it is unique in it’s class.
I mounted a ‘Leapers’ mil-dot 3-9×32 scope with an adjustable objective (A.O.). This ‘A.O.’ feature on this scope, allows focusing from about 5 meters to infinity. The mil-dot feature in the scope allows for compensation of aim, by using 24 different ‘dots’ to aim with, without the need for minor scope adjustments. Again, this model air rifle is a ’semi-auto’ air rifle and is like shooting a ’semi-auto’ firearm rifle. The Crosman lacks comparable power or noise of a firearm, but you can shoot it in the middle of a city. The 1077’s trigger has a slightly difficult pull, but it’s not too bad, and there is no recoil or ear damaging, neighbor bothering, explosion.
Given the ease of use and rapidity of discharge, it seems great for it’s simplicity and convenience of use.
Cost concerns come not through the cost of this air gun,(apx $68.00) or scope,(apx $55.00 with mounting rings), but by my rapid consumption of pellets and co2 powerlets.
The Crosman 1077 is not accurate enough for true competition, nor is it powerful enough for hunting. The Crosman 1077 rifle, is however, superb for close range target practice at home. I can consistently place pellets within a 1/2 cm pattern at 20 feet. For shooting at home, in the backyard or garage, this is close to ideal. The 1077 has enough power to be very consistent for about 60 to 80 shots (temperature dependent) before the 12 gm powerlet needs replacing, and the loss of power is evidenced within three discharges.
The convenience of not having to travel away from home, involving time and cost, as well as ease of use, makes this the most often used rifle/pistol I own. {I own 5 firearms and 4 air guns}.
The cost per discharge is very close to that of a .22 rifle, when combining the cost of the 12 gm co2 powerlets and pellets, and no travel, and comparing these to the cost of .22 rim-fire bullets and travel time and costs. Try numerous pellets, considering accuracy while also considering economics, and enjoy target practice at home with surprising accuracy while not bothering your neighbors.
I shoot 500 pellets or more each time I use it, shooting at old magazines or ads which cost zilch. By staying home, I spend nothing in time or money commuting, and my time goes directly towards shooting.
With layers of cardboard in front of wood, there are no ricochets and the only penetration is that of your intended paper targets and cardboard backing. I believe there is little, if any, environmental damage, but I suggest wearing disposable gloves, as I do, when handling so many lead pellets.
If you like shooting, don’t like shooting ranges (Reminds me of the Army)live in a city and value your time and money and also desire being a good neighbor, try this combination and I think you’ll find this a pleasurable, economical pastime. Enjoy!

GOOD: Lightweight gun, accurate to some extent, 12-round rotary clip, balanced feel, inexpensive.
BAD: Some problems w/ CO2, cheap feeling trigger, magazine hard to eject, not enough stopping force.
This was my second true air rifle. My first was a crosman powerline I had as a kid that I bought for around $30 at my local sporting goods store. This was a definite improvement. The rifle is a lot of fun to shoot, and with a 12 round clip, you can shoot like a madman. Once I zeroed my Crosman 4×32 scope, a bullseye from 20 yards away is no problem.
I do have some complaints however. The biggest of which comes when attempting to hunt with this rifle. Whether caused by a lack of velocity or a lack of caliber, there is just not enough knock-down force to kill anything larger than a mouse. Though a well placed head-shot can kill a squirrel, a major CO2 problem majorly inhibits this. When inserting a fresh 12g CO2 powerlet, a few shots required to ‘warm up’ the rifle is expected. But this necessity continues even after dozens of shots are fired. After 10-20 minutes of inactivity, a first shot dips to the ground after being fired, usually several feet in front of the target. A second shot rises slightly, usually a few inches below a bullseye, and third, fourth, fifth, etc shots reach the bullseye perfectly. Though this is generally no problem for day-to-day plinking, during hunting, this defect causes severe troubles. It is extremely frustrating to finally find a target worth shooting at, to watch your first couple of pellets dive to the ground and to watch the squirrel running off, scared. I am not at all sure if this is simply a problem with my rifle or the Crosman 1077 model in general. I am attempting to solve the problem by ordering an AirSource upgrade kit. This might be the solution, or I might simply need to ditch the gun alltogether and buy a rifle with a little more fire power for hunting like the Crosman 1000X .22.
Would I recommend this rifle? It depends on what you want to do with it. If its main purpose is to shoot targets or give to a kid fo shoot cans, it is a fine piece of equipment with a few minor flaws. If its needed for hunting, I would probably look elsewhere due to the major flaw in accuracy (assuming the AirSource doesn’t solve this problem). In the end, you get what you pay for. Because I had purchased this gun for the latter purpose, I give this gun 3 out of 5 stars.

I recently purchased this item, delivery was quick and it was very well packaged.
The 1077 is a good fun gun. I am not sure if it would give a clean kill of even a small animal at short range , but it is fun to blast away at targets. The negatives you may see in other reviews about the varying power should be expected from a rapid fire gun powered by a single 12g powerlet. You could get a more powerful and accurate pellet gun for the same money , but you would likely not have the fun factor of being able to pop 12 shots in rapid fashion.
For rapid fire fun, and you do not mind a gun made mostly of plastic, I would recommend the 1077. If you prefer wood and metal and do not have the desire for rapid fire, you could try one of the several Chinese made spring guns that are available for the same or even ( much) less money. ( the Cummings B3 and Fast Deer come to mind)
I am a relatively new returnee to the hobby of air guns. I have recently purchased about six guns of varying type (mostly cheap Chinese guns all

I’ve read many good things about the 1077 so I bought one (the plastic and powerlet model. For more money you can buy this model with wood stock or/and the one that uses the Airsource cannister.) It looks great, feels great,then I ran into a bit of problem with the velocity. I can’t get consitency as I have with other Crosman CO2 rifles. I’ve read that the 1077 made after 1999 has an Airsource adapter available for around $38. that will give a more consistent velocity. Plus side, it feels good slapping that magazine in and sliding the barrel slide back and fire off 12 shots. You go through alot of pellets. I can get about 80 good shots per CO2 powerlet. Down side, the barrel slide is a bit cheezy, it’s a piece of plastic that sticks out on each side that you press simultenously to slide it. (You disingage the barrel when taking the magazine out and slide it back after putting it back.) Mine was shooting 2″ to the right at 25′. To correct the windage I have to loosen the two screws holding the sight, not convenient. It comes with one magazine and two speed loader. You have to attach the speed loader to the magazine to use. Read the intruction carefully, tighten the CO2 powerlet too much reduces performance.
Suggestion: If interested in using Airsource, buy one that comes with the attachment. If not, you have to look at the first 3 or 4 digits on the bottom of the trigger guard that tells you what year the rifle was manufactured. The first one or two digits for month and the other for the year.
Buy extra magazine, for $10 it comes with 1 magazine and 3 speedloaders.
