The new Benjamin Wildfire

[BillK]

Can you slip an ldc on it?

I took a 6" TKO and removed the delrin rear section that slides over the barrel.  Drilled & taped another set screw (now 2- 1 ea. side.)
I cut off the protruding sight and put a wrap of electrical tape at the top of the barrel and another at the end of the TKO.
Then w/some lubd, slid the TKO on and screwed it down.
Works fine & quiet w/no clipping.

   Hmm. Mike at TKO quoted me $92.00 shipped for the unit for the 1077/Wildfire.

[BillK]

Mikes TKO may retain the front sight and I'm sure you don't need elect. tape & fiddling around  to make it fit.
 I do like his products.

Rocker1 can probably make a TKO for the Wildfire I'd imagine.

Rocker1 needs to finish other things before he messes with the WildFire!

   Mike did say, you have to grind off the front sight on your 1077 or Wildfire.

I'm looking to see what kind of goodies David can provide us PP700 owners

But yeah, I'm thinking a Rocker1 LDC would be slick for a Wildfire

I'm thinking that Rocker1 has enough time to modify Jeff's avatar

Oh a wise Guy eh?

[Back_Roads]

 The EBay LDC from Poland does fit , but must be slid off for refilling the Wildfire.

I hope u folks enjoy them...thought about one for a moment...but decided since I have 1077W, save that fundage for maybe a guantlet...good luck.....

My itch to get a Wildfire is being superseded by my itch to get a PP700 in .22

Got one coming! How they do it so cheaply bewilders me.

Three words: Parts bin engineering.

It's not always a bad thing, as long as expectations are set correctly by Marketing.

My recommendation to avoid disappointment:

For example, on their page for it, Crosman says:

"Up to 60 shots per fill" - Half truth, since the pellets would barely be making it out of the barrel by Shot 60. Tyler's review suggests 40 is a more realistic maximum, and 30 is more realistic.

Under the Technical Specs list, they say: "Trigger: single stage" which is a big fat lie. "Double-action Only" would be a lot more accurate.

They also say: "Lead Pellet Velocity: Up to 700 fps" Also a lie.

They DO market it for those who are obsessed with rapid fire; maybe the same crowd that likes CO2 replicas, who value rapid fire more than accuracy?

the shot curve is actually more like the 1077 than other PCPs./ and like you said , they already had the parts.. and in manufacturing , once youre already set up to make a part, its way more cost effective than designing a new part. ( e.g the disco tube

[Rob M]

as a side note, I called crosman one day for a 397 piston cup, the guy asked how many i needed , they had 15,000 in stock.. Not kidding

[454 Big Block Chevy]

that looks so sweet!!!!  I do love the 1077, despite the trigger!

[Moke]

OK,... any further words, opinions on this?

I have a Crosman 2100 that is dying off.  I've used it intensely hard, and, it needs replacement.

[Bryan Heimann]

Get another 2100 or fix the one you got.  A good 2100 is a dime shooter.

[Moke]

Has been considered.  I've rebuilt it, the 2100, once already. But, it might be time to get a new one, or something else. It has long been pinpoint accurate. I like the lightweight, fast to shoulder factor.
I love the PCP platform, but, am not so fond of all of the multi-shot clip-type rifles. My wife on the other hand, might have fun with this repeater. Me: questing for the single shot PCP; a major deciding factor in why I went with a Beeman Chief.  A second smaller Chief (.177) isn't out of the question, but, I'd like something that my wife can shoot, as she gets a kick out of it.
And, of course, still looking at this new Benjamin,...
