Air Rifle

[kygorski]

friend of mine bought a 5 shot repeater rifle,177 cal. He uses it for pests[cow birds, grackles, squirrels]. Me I'm a ball bearing mouse trap kind of guy.

I have two Crosman's 1077 Repeating Air Rifles that don't work anymore due to the fact that the seal leaks where the CO2 cartridge fits onto the rifle. Both of these rifles started leaking all the CO2 out in a few minutes about a year or two after I bought them. I even paid extra to get a bigger CO2 holder/accessory so that I could attach that to the rifle and get more shots. But the seal where that connects to the air rifle leaks too. So it was a waste of money. And when I called Crossman to complain about this they gave me the brush off. So I won't ever buy from them again.

I had some other Crosman pistols that also broke. The hammer broke on one. The others also developed leaks in the CO2 system and would not work anymore. I had the Crossman 357.

I will say that the pump up type Crossman Air Pistol works pretty good. There is not CO2 to leak in that one. You just pump it up about 10 times, put a pellet in it (single shot) and shoot away. They even sell a stock for that pistol to make it into a rifle. It's got iron sights though.

I've got a gamo rifle not the bone collector but some other model. Anyway I love mine, great for popping black birds and other varmints. I've took down a oppossum with it. I use the iron sights on mine because like moveon said the scope bounces around a lot and I miss my target.

Not sure what your budget is but check out the NP trail by Benjamin. Read lots of good reviews on it. Been considering a .22 version myself.
