    £300 for a 1077 with an air tube

    Not even that powerful or accurate! Will anyone buy one?

    It's nowhere near as expensive as that in the USA. Although it is not a semi-auto as claimed but a revolver and a tacky one at that, OK for a plinker but probably boring after 20 shots or so.... you'd be better off with a BSA Cadet.

    https://www.airgundepot.com/benjamin...air-rifle.html ... its less than £100 on sale over there.

    I had a play with one of these on Saturday and to be honest it was great fun, accurate enough at 20 yards to hit shotgun cartridges with open sights and quite pokey.

    B.A.R are doing them for £250.00 and I would far rather have one of these than the Sig mpx I bought which is quite frankly shi*te

    Indeed.
    1077 always fun and I assume this one will be.
    If it can be found for under £300 there isn't much to compare it with?

    I just cannot see it, i own a 1077 and it comes out every so often for a plink and for £100 its ok.

    The concept of saving on co2 is lost on me though, after a couple of mags my finger is done with the trigger being sooo hard to pull. Then you have to buy filling gear for a fortune or a pump and having to re pump it up just seems pointless and would rather dump out the empty co2 and bung another in and be off again.

    What about one of the smk pcps multi shot and cheaper, are they as bad as the b2!

    I have the SMK 900 which is a good little rifle.

    But it is bolt action and the mag is annoying to load and not slick to operate.
    So I use it single shot.

    I think it is over £200 now unless you live near the bulk buyers.

    I would imagine the Crosman will be better built but who knows these days?
