By Tom Gaylord from USA on 2012-05-25 08:47:23 Things I liked:This is as accurate as the Crosman Challenger PCP 10-meter target rifle, and it allows you to use an AR lower with all the controls used on your firearm. The weight is good, the sights are excellent, the velocity is right where it should be and the shots count exceeds 100 per fill.Things I would have changed:I would not change a thing on this rifle, but Crosman needs to make a non-firearm lower so shooters don't have to have the MAR177 mated to a firearm. What others should know:Shoot only top-quality pellets, because life is too short to be inaccurate. |  |

By Customer from USA on 2012-09-04 21:58:56 Things I liked:The mar177 looked very good coming out of the box, fit right on to my lower, and has functioned perfectly. |
- Things I liked:Great way to practice with your own AR lower
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:Both the trigger pull and the sight picture are quite different from a competition airgun. This is to be expected since the MAR177-AR is supposed to mimic a NM AR - Things I liked:Excellent product. I could not be happier. I've got a fairly custom setup on my AR-15 with a match trigger and the upper fit perfectly. Very easy to use, accurate, and a thorough pleasure. If you are looking to improve your trigger control and overal utilization of your AR platform and don't have a range in your backyard, this is an ideal solution. I have a 10 meter setup in my garage for practice with my air pistols and rifles and the Crosman AR-15 upper is my favorite to shoot. Highly recommended!
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Get the Benjamin hand-pump. I get to about 2,000 PSI with less than eighty strokes. - Things I liked:The mar177 looked very good coming out of the box, fit right on to my lower, and has functioned perfectly.
- Things I liked:Great practice tool for service rifle match shooters (like a good dry-fire practice session but with meaningful feedback on a target). You can set up a 10 meter air rifle range just about anywhere and practice with targets that simulate a 200 yard SR target at 10 meters REALLY is an effective practice system for XTC practice sessions (my offhand scores have improved substantially). Also a great upgrade for anybody using an entry level air rifle for air gun competition. My 14 year old son shoots both air rifle competitions and high power and he loves it. High quality. We had a problem with the upper not locking the hammer of our Rock River NM A2 lower and Crossman took care of it immediately. Not great to have a problem with a $600 product right out of the box, but Crossman was super about it.
Things I would have changed:The price. As far as I can tell this is the ONLY alternative to a $100 plastic toy AR air rifle or a $1800 AR air rifle. With nothing else filling that market it seems like Crossman has this priced a little bit high (because they can - given the lack of competition). For $600 you can get a pretty good "real" national match quality upper from Bushmaster so paying $600 for an air gun upper makes the buyer feel like he's being gouged just a bit. That said - it's the ONLY thing out there at this price point.
What others should know:Definately NOT a toy. This is a high quality air rifle that will give service rifle shooters a familiar platform for practice sessions. I'm not sure how useful this would be to a serious veteran match shooter who already puts everything into the 10 ring, but if you're a weekend range guy/gal trying to develop skills to be competitive in service rifle matches this will help. My scores have improved, my "calls" are more accurate and I see my mistakes (both in terms of focus/attention and physical mistakes) on the target. It's also fun. "Dad's turn" is heard often when my son and I are using this in our home air rifle setup. Anything that gets my 14 year old to turn off the Xbox 360 is worth it.CommentsBy Brian from USA on 2012-10-14 0 
Note: the problem I had with the upper/lower match was solved when I paired the MAR 177 with a lower that had a stock USGI trigger - - the MAR 177 does not seem to like National Match style triggers. - Things I liked:Actually, I really can't imagine being more happy w/ a product. I can't imagine Creedmoor's offering being any better.
Things I would have changed:The only suggestion I have is really more of a reflection on me. The pressure indicator is placed in a position just under your gloved forehand when you are using a strap for precision. This makes me nervous about damaging the gauge. It seems to easily withstand the pressure, but it is an awkward position.
What others should know:If you are a service rifle competitor - GET ONE. - Things I liked:This is as accurate as the Crosman Challenger PCP 10-meter target rifle, and it allows you to use an AR lower with all the controls used on your firearm. The weight is good, the sights are excellent, the velocity is right where it should be and the shots count exceeds 100 per fill.
Things I would have changed:I would not change a thing on this rifle, but Crosman needs to make a non-firearm lower so shooters don't have to have the MAR177 mated to a firearm.
What others should know:Shoot only top-quality pellets, because life is too short to be inaccurate.
