Crosman E1077W Repeatair 1077 [wood]multi-shot Semi-auto Co2 Air Rifle

This is a great air rifle for folks happy with the do and don't rules associated with using CO2 cartridges. The muli-shot capability is an incredible draw and why not? I remember how much fun it was to let fly with my old Remington 15-round semi-automatic .22 before I sold it. Same with this air rifle. Load a new clip into the magazine, insert the magazine and pull the trigger up to twelve times in a row. Things get even better if you buy a bunch of the inexpensive clips and fill them with pellets before shooting. Just pull the magazine after 12 shots, plug in another pre-filled clip, push the magazine back in and off you go again.It's not a free lunch though. There is a power and CO2 loss associated with these quick-shot runs, but this shouldn't be a significant problem if all you want to do is rip up paper and shoot-n-c targets. Still, when you do rip off up to12 pellets without pausing between shots, the rifle can't fully recharge from the liquid CO2 container that quickly, which wastes CO2, causes the FPS to go down, and it's cumulative with every successive shot. It might not be much of an issue for many or even most folks, but I didn't like it: you don't know about this caveat until you read the manual and you can't read the manual until you've bought the rifle. Also, the CO2 wastage could add up if you bought the airgun specifically to take advantage of that capability as often as possible, but since nobody can expect much accuracy with such shooting, these runs could end up being few and far between. Maybe then the fun of ripping off 12 as fast as the rifle will shoot 'em would outweigh any FPS and CO2 waste. The fix is simplicity itself: just wait a moment (5-7 seconds or so) before you pull the trigger again. No big deal. After all, it takes a few seconds to re-acquire the target and pull the trigger again anway. Also, it seems like pretty small potatoes compared to something like the time and effort wasted between shots pumping up a Daisy 880, Winchester 1977XS or a Benjamin 397s. Your biceps might not look as nice, but it would be easier. :-)The 1077W is heavier than air rifles like the aforementioned Daisy and Winchester (it's about the same as the Benjamin), made largely of synthetic materials like plastic, but I like the weight and I'm 65 and disabled. When you're handling it, you know you have a real rifle in your hands. Besides, it's just two pounds and change, and I don't think that extra weight would be a barrier to a day of target shooting for any healthy person of about 15 and up. Then we have the reason for the extra two and a half pounds, and that's the gorgeously finished solid wood stock, which is absolutely incredible considering the extremely low price. My wife naturally prefers the Daisy 880 over the Crosman 1077W, but she only started handling a gun of any kind for the first time in her life a few weeks ago when the 880 and the 1077W arrived. It seems only natural she'd prefer the lighter rifle, but she had no trouble with the Crosman, whether picking up, aiming and handling it on her own or after readily accepting the heavier air rifle without complaint when I'd hand it over for her turn to shoot.I think the Crosman 1077W "Repeatair" is much more than an excellent air rifle. It's also an exceptional bargain. You get a lot of capability for your money, and it's absolutely easy on the eyes. Then, while I was getting my high quality bargain ready for shooting, taking the time to familiarize myself with everything and carefully poring over the manual, I ran across something that basically says you can't leave a CO2 cartridge in place when you aren't shooting it. I re-read this section several times before I really got it. Essentially, if you pick it up, plug in a cartridge and shoot it awhile, then leave the CO2 cartridge in place for the next time when you're finished, the manual clearly says it WILL damage your air rifle. I did quite a bit of additional research about this and what I think is going on is this: it seems the rifle's gaskets, seals, o-rings or whatever are basically unable to take the pressure of a CO2 cartridge for any extended period of time without something giving way. That pressure is reduced with every shot you take, eventually to nothing, so it's okay for shooting, but if you leave the cartridge in place for awhile without the pressure being reduced, things go wrong. This might not be a problem for most people, but for me it's a deal breaker. The air rifle I need MUST be able to be picked up, fired (once or many times) and set aside until wanted up again later that evening, the next day or later, without a bunch of rigamarole, much less wasting an essentially still full CO2 cartridge. Unfortunately, you can't do that with this air rifle and it isn't the way I use any rifle, so sadly it's not for me.Of lesser importance but still a factor in my decision to let it go, I also wanted to be able to do things like get rid of those two rats I've seen stealing bird feed from the feeders out front, but I discovered the rifle can't do that either. It isn't capable of the FPS the manufacturer claims (not really even close to it), but then I found out that even if it was, it would NOT have a reliable one-shot, one-kill utility anyway. It MIGHT kill the animal, but I'm not willing to knowingly maim without killing or otherwise cause unnecessary suffering for even a rat, so that's just another problem to add to the others. If I only wanted to use my 1077W on targets, it wouldn't be important, but I did want to use it for something else and I can't, or rather I won't. It's such a shame because it's so nice in every other way! I won't say it wouldn't still be just right for someone else because I easily see how it would be, so I don't want to unfairly disparage it. However, had I known about the need to throw out a CO2 cartridge every time the rifle is fired and set down for awhile, whether the cartridge is still essentially full, half full or completely empty, that would be enough. If I couldn't just pull the trigger twelve times as fast as possible and have the rifle deliver every pellet at almost the same speed -- unless I allow for a lengthy pause between every one of those twelve shots, that might be enough. Then too, while much less important overall, had I known the manufacturer's stated FPS wasn't very close to what it actually would end up being (and with no way to know beforehand), that would be enough. What it boils down to is that I didn't discover the rifle wasn't for me until AFTER purchase, when I could carefully study the manual. Had I known about some of the requirements of using and maintaining the 1077W beforehand, I don't think I would have ordered it, but I may have. Being totally surprised was too much, unfortunately. I wish it weren't so, because there's so much to love about the Crosman 1077W semi-automatic, but It just doesn't work for me. I still loved it!Well... 'looks like I need to gather and box up again the rifle and all the extra goodies I bought for it and head on over to my favorite online sales site. I could and almost did send it back (GREAT customer service from the seller), but had I done so, I'd still lose the money I spent on all the extra stuff I ordered to go with it, about 75% of the cost of the rifle, and I just can't afford it. Even after all the above, I still have to give this thing five stars and I very highly recommend it for anyone that doesn't mind the CO2 rules, especially if they don't plan to try killing anything other than targets, toys and trash, with an absolutely gorgeous 12-shot semi-automatic air-rifle certainly nice enough to show off. If that's you, the Crosman 1077W Repeatair is just what you need! :-)Update: I was going to sell this after making sure it all worked for awhile, then try to work out some kind of thing with a buyer to get it back to me if it needed service in the warranty period, but I decided to keep it! After shooting it for a few days. I had to keep it! I have to say, blasting through a full clip (or many of 'em) of 12 pellets really is a ton of fun, wasted CO2 and all. :-) I also was surprised to find it's not as hard to maintain reasonable accuracy while blasting away as fast as I can as I first thought. At 10 yards, I can easily keep all the shots from a lickety-splitly firing run inside the bulls-eye and surrounding ring on a 6" shoot-n-c target, which is a group less than 2" in diameter. It really is tremendous fun, but it sure bleeds off a CO2 cartridge quickly -- and the last few of those 12 shots will be fairly weak. No big deal, since I found a great deal on cartridges from another manufacturer, and after comparing a couple of them to the Crosman version, I actually prefer them; it turns out saving money is lots of fun too. :-)I still shoot my pneumatic pumpers primarily, including the Umarex Strike Point pistol I just added to my collection, but any time I can dedicate an hour or more to shooting, I love getting this rifle out as well, or even instead of those worthy specimens. When I am shooting for awhile, it turned out that six sets of pre-filled clips wasn't really enough, especially if one or three clips gets emptied in rapid-fire mode. So, now I need to get a few extra mags too, so I don't have to waste time with only the one that came with it to change clips! :-) That kind of shooting can be fun, sure, but it's not all about quick-shooting when you want to do a little accurate target shooting. In that case too, the 1077W turned out to be a fine quality, very nice shooting rifle and I think it's a bargain at the price I paid.At just a skosh over six pounds, the weight is really nice too, so it's much lighter than many air rifles and almost all 'real' rifles, and it handles like nobodys business. I never used to give it a second thought with my Daisy 880 or Winchester 1977XS, but I have to admit that it's a REAL pleasure not having to pump it up a zillion times for every single shot. I do love the freedom of picking up a pumper for a single or many shots and setting it back down when I'm done, but this is an excellent air-rifle too -- just in a different way.After devoting some time to the rifle, every bit of it deserved, it turned out that it's a low-priced, well-built and very good-looking air rifle, and the CO2 power actually is a great benefit when I can devote time to shooting it. I think my name must have been written on it in invisible ink or something -- it just took awhile for me to see it. When I did, this Crosman 1077W, 12-pellet, semi-automatic air rifle turned out to be just what I was looking for and I really wasn't looking for anything! :-) Highly recommended.

I liked the look of the dark wood and it’s decent. It can work properly, but jams on flat pellets more than the domed hp I got later. If it sits for a while it shoots very slow for a couple of shots. I read the manual, used pellgunoil, and didn’t store it with CO2. Now 700 rounds later, it only shoots at half speed. But I knew the odds were high of a less than stellar unit. It’s a blast, when it works, but I’m not sure I’d do it again. I’ll probably take it apart myself after watching some videos and researching, and try to restore its formal glory.

Good rile, good power and not tool loud. It's fairly accurate and you can add a scope to it as well. It comes with a detachable magazine with a wheel to hold the pellets I bought another magnetic and wheel for a back up. The co2 loads in the front under the barrel and I had no issues with gas leaking after a month of not shooting.

Rifle did not work out of box. The trigger would not pull with safety off after switching from safe to fire many times I was able to pull the trigger but nothing happened tried multiple times and nothing. I then removed the CO2 cartridge and it was still full (until I unscrewed it then CO2 went everywhere) I looked to see if there was anything under the CO2 obstructing it there was nothing I put a new cartridge in and same result. This rifle had 2 malfunctions from the factory one making it unusable. Amazon will not let me return it saying it has harmful gasses inside wich is nonsense they should have a way of returning a non functional item. They will not let me contact seller because it is not eligible for return. So now I have a $120 dollar stick and a sad kid because his new gun doesnt work.

Good one. Solid. Good feel. Only issue is gas cannister leaks out quickly when not in use - faster than previous models.

Great gun. We use it for target practice. Note, you have to remove CO2 cartridge every time before you put away gun, so use up the cartridge.

Love the twelve shot capacity...one co2 cartridge seems to work for about 60 rounds. Accurate and can kill a ground squieel from 40 Feet !

Not very accurate
