Inexpensive co2 rifle

[fez]

With fathers day coming up I hinted for cash only. I'm looking to add a co2 multi shot .177 rifle for plinking only. I have a springer(Big Cat) but some times I like to crank em out a little faster. Something about 75 bucks that's dependable. What can you guys advise? Thanks

Zero, Zip on the multi shot w/ price point.  Go w/ 78 or my favorite 79.

Good luck & Happy Father's Day

for a cheap accurate semi auto plinker

you couldnt go wrong with a crosman 1077

The 1077 is not a semi-auto, it is a double action (DA) revolver inside the shell of a rifle.

I have a Umarex pistol with the same type of mechanism.  The DA pull is heavy and long.  Probably just like a real DA pull, but definitely not a fun trigger.  I usually shoot my Umarex pistol in SA mode to eliminate that DA trigger pull.

well lol

semi auto in the sense of you can just keep pulling the trigger

@Chris
Sorry the term "semi-auto" is quite specific.
The ability to shoot multiple shots by simply pulling the trigger does not make a gun "semi-auto." 
The ability to shoot a 38 special revolver in DA mode does not make it a semi-auto, it is still a revolver.

yes i am aware of that i own both types of those firearms.

forgive me for my terminology,

but he did say he wanted a multi shot,and the 1077 is a multishot.

Thanks fellas. I was thinking 1077 because I don't think there is too much in my price range but wanted to see if I missed something. Sorry to get you in trouble Chris. LOL.

Just wanting to keep things straight.  Having used the Umarex revolver in a semi-auto shell, I realize the big difference in the trigger compared to what a semi-auto SA trigger is like.  Best to know what you are getting, since the advertising can be quite confusing.  I did not fully realize the difference until I had the Umarex in my hand and felt the DA trigger   

I do not know if there is a way to shoot the 1077 in SA mode (to get a better trigger pull), or if it is DA only.

At one time I was all ready to spring for a 1077 from pa.  Then I happened onto a yard sale and picked one up for $10.  That saved me the price of a new one.  My self I would not pay any more than that for a brand new one because it is not what it is cracked up to be.  I have pistols heavier, It can not be made to fire single action,  the trigger is horrible, long, gritty, and heavy.  Not very accurate and at $70 is a waste of money.  There is not much that can be done with improving the trigger.  The 1077 is a toy. 

One of the big PB makers used to use the term "auto loading" on their semi-autos and that pretty well describes a semi-auto.   john
