Crosman TR77NPS Break Barrel Air Rifle

I purchased this rifle when it was on sale and tried right away in my backyard with various targets. Gun is great in shooting. Real blow back effect and break barrel action makes it looks and feels like a firearm rifle. Scope came with this rifle is not that great and needs lots of adjustments and still there is room for more adjustments. View thru the scope is also blurry and does not get adjusted. I also noticed that after firing 100+ pellets the noise levels is coming down and it feels more smoother. Overall is very good, but scope is poor.

I'd have to say that this little rifle is probably one of the best ones I've owned. It's super light, so it makes it easy to go into thick bush and hunt. It has the power to take out grouse and rabbits with one pellet @ 40 ft. Squirrels and other rodents it goes right through them. I keep the barrel clean and maintain it, it is really quiet after break in. All in all very pleased with this rifle...the only rifle in this FPS range that I found better is the Gamo CO2 pump, which you can't get any more. Also, one is best to fit this rifle with a better scope; the Center Point scope that comes with the rifle is passable, but not something great for zeroing in on targets. Never had any jams, other than some pellets that had a slight warp on the base, which came that way in the container...it wasn't the rifle. It's a sturdy, strong rifle, and has gone through all kinds of action without any malfunctions.

elle lance tres bien et est legere et precise quand on tire avec

I have a great time with this gun. It's very accurate even though the scope can be a bit blurry. I love that I can store somethings in the butt of the gun. my only complaint is I wish it had built in sights Incase the scope breaks. If u get this gun u will have a blast!!

Basically, for the price of what a barrel blank alone costs, you get a highly rated airgun in a very cool package. While it is understandable that the pneumatic ram is an unfamiliar device to many, this is the form of "spring" that is used in all the best break action rifles. Springs are still used as they still work just as well as they always have. The NPS has a lot of advantages, but one that plays well in Canada where we have a lot of land and hunting opportunities is the fact that while the ram should not be left compressed when not in use, the ram never takes a set or looses it's power no mater how long it is left compressed. This is regarded as a great feature for a hunting gun. And the ram is the preferred option for other uses too. Crosman has all parts in stock, if that is a worry. While I do not generally like "tacticool" stocks, this one has high functionality for an air rifle, and is a home run. If you like the look, all the better. Three issues: 1) The scope often does fail, but what we used to get was a pair of iron sights to use until we go the gun scoped, this is better. Scopes are 1/5 what they used to cost, and less still if one factors in the features level, and the value of the dollar. If you know the better scope you want, you might consider moving the provided scope to another rifle, or giving it to a friend. Spring guns are the harshest test for any scope, worse that shotguns and large bore rifles, so this scope will do OK in an easier environment. Should last for ever on a rimfire. 2) 495 fps, is the required sub PAL level (no license required). Keep in mind this does not mean the rifle is legal to shoot where you might wish to. Many towns ban air rifles, and even where legal, any complaint from a neighbour is likely to roll SWAT. Also, 495 in 17.7 caliber (.177") is really marginal for game. It will work up to about squirrel level, small rabbits are normally 500+. But a better choice is a 495 22 cal if you want to hunt. All this makes it perfect for everything else. 3) The trigger on Crosman guns is generally poorish. If you find this trigger difficult there are safe replacements and fixes. Check the internet. Seek competent help.
