This is a feature-rich model and a good buy for the $75-$100 range. The front and rear sights are both removable and adjustable, and adaptations can be made to account for wind and elevation. The front sight is convertible, giving the shooter an option to mark moving and non-moving targets. There are also areas to attach a gun sling, if desired. It also features an ambidextrous design that’s comfortable for all shooters. It comes equipped with a 5 pellet clip and a 350 capacity bb reservoir, allowing for more shooting and less reloading.The assault rifle styled M4-177 has a clean, all black finish, a rifled steel barrel, and an adjustable synthetic stock. The M4-177 can shoot both pellets and bbs, which makes it a little more versatile than pellet-only models. Measuring just 34” long, this gun is lightweight and very portable. Capable of firing up to 660 fps (with bbs), this little rifle packs a big punch.

The M4-177 has power equal to that found in longer barreled pellet guns. The Crosman M4-177 features a very short barrel for easy transport, but its small size doesn’t sacrifice velocity. Overall, in the $75-$100 range, the Crosman 1077 sums up to be a fair deal. A hardwood stock may offer a higher level of strength and beauty but it will also mean tacking on another $50 – $70 to the price. This might mean compromising durability but you can’t expect hardwood for the price. The matte black finish and rifled steel barrel give a more modern look, but the stock is made of synthetic material. Comparable semi-auto models in the $100 price range offer a 16 round clip. The 12 round clip is on the small side for the price and means reloading more often. Along with the semi-auto firing ability comes the need for co2, which can put a strain on your wallet over a long period of time. The front scope is fiber optic and the rear scope is adjustable for elevation changes, however it is not removable like other comparable models with a similar price tag. It also comes equipped with both a front, and a rear scope. While Crosman does make a 0.177 caliber pellet rifle with an even shorter barrel, the weight is the same and it doesn’t have semi-automatic action like the 1077 does. The Crosman 1077 is light and short, making it easy to carry long distances. This rifle is smaller and has a lower velocity than most pellet rifles out there but it does have its benefits.
