Page 5 of 32 - Crosman 1077 Reviews

The 1077 seems to be well made. I purchased this to teach my grandchildren about gun safety and eventually give them some fun shooting experience. I think it will turn out to be a great choice for my goals!!

I like the fact that it is a semi-automatic and it holds 12 shots. The price is very good but like everyone else I would like to see a higher velocity and be available in .20 or .22 cal.and could possibly hold two co2 cartridges. I am really impressed by the sights [the front sight] being luminous so that these 80 year old eyes can shoot the rifle accurately. It comes up to the eye nicely just like my Ruger 10/22 and I am aware that a replica of that rifle is available with two cartridges and I would buy it but it does not seem to have the luminous front sight like the 1077! Please let me know if something can be done to get the luminous front sight in the replica 10/22 as would certainly buy it. The replica with two cartridges does not seem to have much more if any power [velocity] only extra shots from the cartridges. Surely Crosman or Umarex can do better than this for extra power and calibers. Gerry Early

This rifle is an excellent value for the money. It is easy to fire, and being a repeater makes it more fun for my 9 year old to enjoy learning to shoot, on a slim budget, even vs a .22 long rifle. Even I love shooting it. It is light, and easy to handle, and with Pyramid Air's 10 for $10 package, I got a gun that functions perfectly as intended. Power is good enough to punch through a soup can at 10 meters, leading me to believe this rifle might be capable of taking small game at SHORT range. We will find out next season, I hope.

Accuracy is okay, especially for a sub-$100 rifle. I get ~1.5 inch groups at 10 meters, but it is a little difficult to be consistent. I have read that there are some inexpensive upgrades one can do at home, i.e. a foam barrel bushing to stabilize the barrel in its shroud, that could have been done by Crosman without adding undue cost to the rifle.

My factory sights shot very high, even with the rear sight bottomed out in adjustment. Not a big deal, as one could compensate for it with a holdunder, and I added a 4x scope, but just something to consider. overall, I was very happy with this purchase, and will definitely buy one for my other son as well.

Has lot more power than expected from a very reasonably priced gun. Is accurate, shoots a quick as you can pull the trigger. Good value.

Nothing.

The gun is small and compact enough for beginning children to handle and shoot.

I got my 1077 waaaaay back in 1993. What a great lil rifle it lasted til this summer when the seals finally failed. What I like is that it was easy to work on the gun and replace the seals, pop in a new main valve, and make some other mods and now it's better than new. Its a compact rifle with classic style, inexpensive to obtain and provision. I finally put on a scope - Leapers 1-4.5x28 - and was able to easily shoot 10 shot strings in a half inch group at 10m, 1 inch groups at 20m. Importantly I did add the delrin barrel stabilizer while i had everything taken down for the rebuild, this along with working the crown and the breech ends of the barrel to smooth them out has had noticeable effects on POI and limiting flyers. I liked the open sights, mine was old enough to have a simple front blade, but I like the scope for my older eyes. For the price this has been a great rifle, long lasting, super fun to shoot.

Things I did change: Drilled and installed a trigger spring retaining screw, removed the hammer latch assembly, added an o-ring to the hammer spring to increase the hitting power of the hammer, silicone lube the trigger rails and slots, changed the detent spring to something about twice the weight and 1/8 inch longer, added an o-ring 5mm i.d.x 2mm thick to the detent (snugs it up totally in the detent cap to minimize gas blow-by, this one is really important to do), polished both ends of the barrel smooth, installed delrin barrel shim in the shroud to stabilize the barrel (with the old front sight I had to drill out the back portion to allow the newly centered barrel to sit inside the sight tube), flat black paint the barrel shroud and gas tube (7 coats including matte clear coat) camo painted the stock, added silica sand into the stock hollow to counter weight the scope I added, that put about 8 oz below the receiver to make the piece less top heavy.

The changes I made were sort of an experiment on a 25 year old fun gun. There is a lot of info out there on the efficacy of these kinds of modifications so if you have a newer 1077 and you love it, read up thoroughly and decide carefully what you really need to do to make it better. I just bought a Chrony and am waiting for it to do some speed testing, but I can tell from inspection of the target backstop and the deformation of the pellets that the rifle is hitting way harder. Once I can chrony the speed I can calculate the power. I guess what I would offer is that this little rifle is pretty easy to maintain and optimize. It is fun to shoot and to work on, and if people keep in mind what it was designed for, then the value on offer is really outstanding. While I have read of buyers having problems with later models, my experience has been the opposite - super reliable, super fun, 25 years of performance as advertised!

Not much...should have spent a little more money and got better product. only thing I like is being able to firer off 10 shots being co2 powered.

TRIGGER is just plain TERRIBLE !!! after taking up the slack and squeezing the trigger it 'll pull your shot to the left or right of the target, the trigger justs Sucks !

don't go for the lowest price air rifle

Owned one since 1988. It went to that big armory in the sky after grandson left it outside, and it found it's way under a tractor wheel. Had to have another because they are so much fun to shoot. Old stock was gray. this one is black, but it shoots just as well as the old one.

Nothing...

Hits hard for a CO2. Great little plinker. Trigger pull a little hard, but you adapt.

Good starter airgun for my 8yr old son, but the only problem is that it keeps jamming on lead free pellets. The airgun range in PA doesn't allow lead pellets which works perfectly in the 1077.

Extra magazine at no cost.

When shooting good, you'll get between 6 to 8 magazine from 1 Co2.

Everything, especially the fun factor!

Not a thing!

This is the 2nd crosman 1077 I have bought, and that means you gotta know it"s a great product!!!

I really like the gun bought for a gift but after sighting in I'm buying myself one

It would be nice if it could use the 88 or 90 gram bottles
