Just got it in walnut and previously had one in a plastic toyish stock many many years ago and this one is much much better. Mounted an old Bushnell Trophy 6-18x40AO in Sportsmatch rings plopped in a Daisy 12gram co2 and loaded the 12 round rotary magazine with Crosman Premier match wadcutters and gave it a go. Surprise surprise surprise! It shot high, not low like your typical barrel drooper airguns like my first plastic 1077 which ran out of elevation trying to zero it. At 6 yards zeroed viewing at 6x and AO at its minimum just under 10 yards, it keyholes even with the rough trigger action. At 15 yards it shot high so adjusted the scope and got under 3 magazines 30 shots until it started to peter out. Had not run it over a chrony yet but I have to say this is a much better 1077 than I had many many years ago and it will be a keeper in my airgun collection. I was plinking off hand with it at 15 yards on a hanging soda pop can shooting at the logo and letters on the can and the holes were mostly touching once I got used to the trigger. This was not shot rested, yet... I expect it to shoot even better when rested... The scope is a little overkill IMO so I am probably going to switch it out with a different one with lower magnification range.
I am thinking of converting to HPA and run a regulated bottle rather than buying a Wildfire.
Would save some serious money by not having to buy all these 12gram co2s...
It is so much fun to shoot that I can see using up a 40 piece box of these co2s in one sitting.
The accuracy is a lot better than I had expected. I am probably going to replace the scope with another older Bushnell Trophy using a 4-12x40AO or even possibly a generic illuminated 1.5-6x30 instead
which would make it a great ratting gun.
