It would be great if you could come down and go on the hunt with us!! Both Seth and Robert are really nice guys and believe it or not, they are good friends.Maybe Robert will come down this year and I will get to meet him. How much fun would that be?!! Yes congrats to JonnyReb on his new gun!! No matter what bullet you shoot in it, what ever you are hunting will wish you weren't using either!!!
Jeff,Sorry for the disappointing news. Probably worse than a first breakup in high-school, LOL. We got past those, too.Time for more research and the right deal to come your way.Lloyd

Hey Lloyd, thanks for the sympathy, actually i'm still not over my first break up in high school, i ended up marrying her and... i think God plays tricks on us sometimes lol shhh here she comes... j/kidding i hope she doesn't read that. the loss of that particular deal is ok, the buyer was having remorse before he even got his money and i've realized that shooting a gun, for me, may not be as fun as shopping for one, so i'm happily entertained for awhile, as i look for another. I REALLY just wish you could talk crosman into releasing a few Rogues to "we who love them most" here at the forum for some serious in the field reviews.. i know.. i know.. seriously though, if i had the Rogue as an option right now, there would be no doubt, even if i had to sell a gun or two, it's what i would want and there, to me is the beauty of the coming gun, i have looked at every available avenue, and there is no other gun that gives me what the rogue could. I know i'm preaching to the choir but to have just a few of those features in one gun, lets take sound level, Ft'lbs and "made in the USA", that would be a choice worth having. Thats not even mentioning the many other one of a kind features. THis is where, naysayers aside, the entire bigbore market will have to concede that there is no comparable product with near as many features. I wish that option was on the table now. In the meantime i'll keep looking at options but probably will just go back to a 909 for awhile with a nice power tune to get it north of 300ft/lbs. My old one was accurate and they are readily available with no wait. It's probably the simplest thing. Thanks for stopping in on the thread! Jeff
Yup, still here at the edge of a great monotonous plain... the piedmont they call it uuhgh, i need to go west. I do remember talking about the 350's, your memory is better than mine lol

Daveshooter,this quote feature has me scratching my head 'cause I wanted to quote things from two different threads. Gave up and just cut and pasted........Daveshooter quote-"Lloyd Just curious how tough not to ask a stupid question are the electronics in the Rogue."Dave- here's what I posted about that right after the Shot Show in January when someone else asked pretty much the same thing. From Lloyd-ss post in Crosmangate Jan 24 or 25,2011=====Good question, and I am expecting good longevity. My day job is an engineer for a marine navigation equipment manufacturer so I have a decent idea of what it takes to get a good MTBF in a harsh environment. The microprocessor is a proven commercial unit and the circuitry is straightforward. Nothing used is failure prone or too shock or vibe sensitive. The design is modular enough so that if needed, certain components could be replaced. In other words, its repairable. One thing I really like, is that Crosman is using a local house to manufacture the electronics. That house has taken a vested interest in the total success of the project. They are just as excited about it as Crosman is and Crosman is dealing with a house down the street, so to speak, instead of someone on the other side of the globe who would consider the quantities hardly worth the effort. This gun is about as 100% US made as you can get these days. That means something to me. I hope that answers your question.LloydNow, back to today---I think what this really shows is that a lot of folks are being pushed to the edge of, or out of, their comfort zone. But we all use cell phones and computers and drive cars with computers and fuel injection. A friend of mine has a 2011 Mustang (with 150HP nitros) that will do 10.70 in the quarter and he drives it to work every day, and gets decent mileage! Could that be done without modern electronics. No way!Yes, the electronics are a big deal but I feel like its in very good hands at Crosman. They have a lot at stake and are committed to this like you wouldn't believe, from the number one man all the way down.Another quote from you today Daveshooter:"I know you made or developed the rifle for Crosman."Dave- I did the preliminary development work and built several prototypes, but my protos were not in a manufacturable state. Crosman, and one gentleman there in particular, who I truly admire, has done a TREMENDOUS amount of work in bringing this from the ground up and making a solid, innovative airgun. If you asked my wife, or the wife of that particular engineer at Crosman, how many hours we have in this project, YOUR wives would know just how bad it can get, LOL. But i digress. Lloyd
