Rogue out of production ?

[Nomadic Pirate]

Either that or Pyramyd just decided to drop it ?

I don't want a airgun that needs batteries period but it's interesting that the fully automatic airguns just disappeared too.

Funny is the Semiauto just came back up on the website, ....glitch ?

haha, that's all good, actually I quite enjoy the part,....never my all life been the one that strived to win popularity contests, on the contrary always relished the part of the not so liked one  ,...kind of the "alone against everyone else" mentality

Manny, You should never have to buy another rainstorm.  They should send you hats and t-shirts and send you to all the gun shows  .

That would be cool

you guys ever think the reason for the full auto airguns disappearing is to not draw unwanted attention to semi auto and full auto airguns that make the same kind of power that some small caliber firearms make ? i mean the gun grabbers would prolly have a few things to say about them if they knew about them. so i think the disappeared for awhile to stop the airgun world from becoming regulated

Politicians would be quick to attack with the no background check to buy an airgun "loophole". I doubt we would have the complete support of the firearms community sense most see or think of them as BB guns...really expensive ones.

certainly has crossed my mind...
 Especially where I live.

Google national firearms act of 1934. Airguns are mentioned,read it and draw your own conclusion .

[JPowell490]

I am definitely not a proponent of "banning" the auto, but you have to think about it.  A full auto .25 caliber that puts out 56 fpe?  That could be as dangerous as a real auto firearm.  I sure wouldn't want to get hit with 8-10 .25 caliber shots at one time lol.

Does anyone think crossman may try to manufacture another big bore? If the Rouge is out of production.

[Nomadic Pirate]

well, the party line is that it's still in production.

[JPowell490]

The Rogue Manny or the full auto Evanix?

[Nomadic Pirate]

The Rogue according to crosman is still in production, so are the Full auto, just not imported in the states.

The .357 Evanix SemiAuto line is still been sold at Pyramyd

According to Midway USA, on their Rogue sales page....

"Status:
 Discontinued by Manufacturer"

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/779580/benjamin-rogue-electronic-pcp-air-rifle-357-caliber-tan-synthetic-stock-matte-barrel

I contacted Crosman and asked they either confirm or deny this. Still waiting on an answer.


***EDIT***

Crosmans facebook statement made today on the rogue.

"No issues, we've been low on parts and expect them to arrive today and have a production run set for tomorrow. These should go into inventory next week and be available on crosman.com. If you have signed up to be notified of their availability on the Rogue page then you will receive an email when they can be purchased."

[transmissionman]

If midway USA says it is discontinued. Its Discontinued!!!!!!

[Nomadic Pirate]

call me cynical, but this is what i've been thinking for awhile now, crosman doesn't want to announce that it's discontinued so they can sell off the inventory

[JPowell490]

I would buy one from them.  I know how to program just about everything, I could fix that monster!

[Paul68]

This is directly from Crosman.

"Paul -
 
That information is incorrect. The Rogue rifles have not been discontinued and are still being built, although we only make a few of them each week. They are now only available directly from Crosman and no longer being sold through dealers.

Thank you for contacting Crosman Corporation.

Do you smell that?  I sure do. 

[Paul68]

I don't know about anything fishy going on. It seems to me the Rogue is filling a very narrow niche'. It's expensive, somewhat complex, definitely unconventional, and probably really only appeals to a smaller audience than more traditional PCP's. It doesn't seem like something any third party vendor will be able to support or service, and that would mean the guns will always end up going back to Crosman for service anyways. Low sales volume coupled with unique servicing needed says to me that Crosman is making a natural adjustment and just keeping everything in house to maintain cost managment. I'm sure they've weighed requests from vendors against doing this and that its also part of the reason for the change.
