I wish you could shoot more than just one pellet at a time, without having to reload and repump each time........that is what makes me attracted to the Crosman 1077 12 shooter.
BUT i have heard bad things about the scope on the 1077, whereas i have heard nothing but good stuff about the gamo big cat 1200 (mostly, anyway)
how is the scope on that.
I am not a hunter, so i don't know a good scope from a bad one.
I also know that some people have taken off the bad scope from the Crosman 1077 and replaced it with a 'real' scope (whatever that means).
thoughts from the generous panel?
I was put off by the single fire/pump thing too but it may not be that big of a deal if you end up hitting your target. The rifles shoot 1000 fps and above fairly consistently and only requires the single pump. I figure if you didn't hit the target, it'll be enough to scare it away.
The thing I never liked about my CO2 is that performance will vary depending on how much gas you have left. Performance will drop with each shot and faster after several shots unless you change cartridges before empty. You probably already checked but I found several of the Youtube videos for the Big Cat and Whisper helpful. I'm leaning toward the whisper but the savings in cost of the big cat is hard to ignore. The scope is probably adequate for the general user on both models.
multiple thank yous for your helpfful input. that co2 info. makes sense and is particularly helpful. YES i would def. be a 'general user' for sure, as my OP attests. and NO i didn't bother to look at videos about the gamos. but i am going to, thanks to you. blessings..
