The new Crosman 1077 Tactical is the latest version of this popular CO2-powered air rifle. It brings a new look to the classic 1077 platform, combining a new stock with multiple Picatinny rails.

The 1077 has been manufactured in various versions since 1995, so it’s clearly a very successful model that has started many airgunners on their path to enjoyment.

The new Crosman 1077 Tactical features a completely redesigned tactical stock, including an adjustable cheekpiece. The manufacturer says this not only enhances the rifle’s aesthetics but also improves its handling and ergonomics. The Crosman model number is 1077TAC.

The new stock also offers a comfortable and secure pistol grip, ensuring a good fit for users of all levels.

To meet the needs of modern shooters, the 1077 Tactical includes several picatinny rails for accessory mounting. These allow the owner to attach optics, lights, lasers, or other tactical gear to customize their rifle.

Crosman says that the 1077 Tactical is the perfect choice for backyard plinkers and airgun enthusiasts looking to elevate their shooting experience with a classic favorite that has received a modern facelift.

All 1077s use a single 12 Gram CO2 Powerlet for power. This is combined with a 12-shot rotary pellet magazine that can be removed for loading. HAM recommends that owners also buy a three-pack of additional pellet clips. They’re dirt cheap and allow a longer shooting session before needing to reload pellets.

Currently there are four versions of the 1077 available. In addition to the 1077 Tactical, there’s the “base” 1077 Repeatair with black synthetic stock, together a version with a “real tree wood” stock. In addition, there’s the 1077 Freestyle, which includes a modern design with color accents.

All models are equipped with open sights, but will accept a scope or red dot sight mounted on top of the receiver.

The Crosman 1077 Tactical will be available for purchase at select retail stores, online sellers, and Crosman’s official website. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 1077 Tactical is set at $129.99, making it accessible to a wide range of shooters.

Hard Air Magazine tested a 1077 Wood back in 2015. We were surprised by the accuracy and liked the wood stock, awarding it a HAM Silver Award. Only the heavy trigger and poor quality of the bundled scope held it back from a better score.

I found the trigger on the original to be extremely clunky and heavy. I bought one for my son to use and he had so much trouble with the heavy trigger that accuracy was non existent. I was able to plink cans in the yard with it but that’s about as formal as the 10/77 got.
Is it just me or is the new “tactical” styling I'm seeing on budget airguns looking more like a drawing of an “Army gun” made by a 2nd grader? The new Armada stock and this thing are butt ugly and look absurd to me. (No offense to the 2nd grader who drew the plans.)

Benjamin Design Engineer: “Oh crap my new design for the 10/77 tacticool version was due today and I didn’t come up with anything!! What do I do??”

….. notices his sons drawing on the fridge….

Benjamin Design Engineer: “ That’s so crazy it just…might…WORK!”

I see it’s listed with a higher velocity than the standard 1077. I take it that is due to the longed barrel. I hope its true as the reg 1077 seems a little short on power, for me anyway.

I noticed I couldn't really stage the trigger on my 1077. Just hand to do a nice even DA pull like on a revolver. (Which a 1077 is.) Much better power and accuracy.
 
Oh my, just what I don't need for Christmas . . . another tactical looking CO2 rifle. Not even my grandson wants this for another new toy. He prefers his Dragonfly MK2 with it's authentic wood stock. Ahhh, he's a good boy. Grandpa Orv,
