I just purchased a Crosman 1077 and I know there has been many who have complained about co2 leaks and others who have said the 1077 is the best gun they've ever owned, but I do not see any useful info mentioned in order for me to compare the functionality or problems others are having with my experience, such as what brand co2 cartridge are they using, environment temperature, and any other variables that may effect the shots per co2. I've watched tests that have compared co2 brands and have shown that some are more dependable and better than others, but nothing in relationship the the Crosman 1077. With that said, here are my results and any input would be appreciated, as for me, I'm a little disappointed.
1) Using Sig co2 cartridges I had on hand
2) Tested with various pellets (Hobby, RWS R10, Excite, Destroyer, Diablo)
3) Temperature was 75 degrees
4) Distance was 20 yards. (I know most shoot at 10 yards, but I like the challenge)
So here's my disappointment and I'd like to hear from others ...
First, I'd like to mention, at 20 yards with an inexpensive scope, 12 shots landed within 3/4" grouping and I'm happy with that. But on the next (second) clip, the first 6 shots, you can feel and see the decline in co2, as the hits were dropping on the target and the next 6 shots in the same clip seemed to have trouble getting a few pellets out. There was nothing wrong with the pellets, as I just reloaded the clip and swapped out the co2 and they all fired.
With that said, I was only able to shoot 24 shots max per co2, half of which showed diminishing power. I guess if I was at 10 yards instead of 20 yards I wouldn't have noticed the drop, but again, I like the challenge.
I gotta say that I am impressed with the accuracy at 20 yards, but curious as to what everyone else is getting (shots per co2), as I hear some saying only around 21-25 shots and others saying 40-70 shots per co2. But there is no additional info given as to see why the big difference. Is it the brand co2 cartridge? Could it be the temperature of the cartridge or environment? Or maybe the 1077's used have slight seal or other problems.
Note: I do want to mention that I did not hear any co2 leaks. But that doesn't mean there isn't one not noticeable. I'm just trying to see if I have a seal problem on a new rifle or maybe the Sig co2 cartridges may not be too compatible with the 1077.
And are there any recommendations? The cost of switching out the co2 after every 24 shots along with the cost of pellets, for another 2 cents per shot, I could be shooting a real firearm, as .22lr ammo isn't much more.
Looking forward in hearing from others.
