Hopefully it will be at Shot Show so I can take a look at it. 
For me it's a great option to plink with year round. 

 

[Tominco]

With a price like that, the PCP market may have quite a few new customers. 
Open sights on a PCP! What fun!  
I wish more high end PCP's had an open sight option.

wow ill get 1 to have family fun at the holidays istead or letting them get drunk and play with our hi end pcp 

 

[GeronimoKY]

I'll be buying one for sure. For that price it's hard not to. Everything crosman makes has an option for aftermarket accessories. Have to believe this gun will be the same quickly. I can't imagine anyone that already shoots pcp will pass this up if it gets good initial feedback. You're right Tominco, hand this to a person with zero experience and they'll be on the hook quick. Can't wait!

Glad to see Crossman is putting end for meaningless madness for pcp prices. Really 10/22 beats all pcps in reliability and accuracy and costs at least 3x less.

There's no expensive technology in hammer streaking valve, Airgun barrels are tiny and of questionable quality, I always had hard time understanding where the mad price was coming from....

 

[Dirte]

Looks like my son can have his own PCP. Dirt cheap! Semi auto also??? I almost question the quality at that price. Actually I do question it!

 

[T3PRanch]

Next closest Semi-Auto offering is the FX Monsoon at $ 1595 or are their others?

Looks like it share the same platform as the crossman 1077 which uses co2, great little plinker up to 20 yards.
Here's mine that i modded with a 20oz tank before i discover this forum, airgunnation and learned about pcp airguns and what their capable of.

 

[Goodtogo]

I have a few 10/22 rifles and I won't let the grandkids shoot them................I call them "bad habit rifles". It seems now we will have a bad habit PCP. But they can be fun to keep a can rolling so I might as well sign up for one LOL. The trick will be the cost of the magazines since we will want 4 so we can shoot 48 times like a mad man?  

 

[JimNM]

The 1077 magazines are a whole 11.00. Individual cylinders are a whole 7.00. That oughta be do-able

 

[dodge3500]

Semi auto at sub 150$, madness I say!

Yup could be a cashcow for sure.
I'm in.

"semi" ? "double action" like the 1077? Looks to be the plastic two piece receiver ( 1077 ) & such and naturally "800fps" and "up to 80 shots per fill" are taken as most - though sometime crosman gets closer than gamo- new airgun ads. 

If it is a 1077 conversion to pcp, "I" will take a pass but must admit lower prices is nice.

There are some guns that are too much fun with just iron sights. Using one of my Career 707's with iron sights at the 25 yard pistol range is just awesome. 

A $140 semi auto PCP is a great way to get people into the hobby. I bet we'll see tons of aftermarket mods for this one. A LW barrel, a reg, a bottle adapater, some double or triple mags and a new classic is born! 

The squirrels won't know what hit them (literally). I wonder if it will be single or double action. If it's single then we might see some full auto mods too...

The main thing will be if the quality is as bad as the co2 B.B. guns in that price range. You know the sort, they are fun for a week and then dump all the co2 when you try to pull the trigger.

That is a cheap add on when you already have an air supply. But I am waiting for the real review/complaints to hit before I buy one. You don't always get what you pay for, But you sure as hell don't get more than you pay for.

I like how no one is mentioning the fact that you will either need a pump or scuba tank to fill this gun which will cost more than the gun itself. Then for new people it's more like a $350 gun. I also want to know if the "800fps" is with 2.3gr bullets like they normally do or an actual pellet weight.

No way around that for a PCP gun but maybe it will pay for itself over time compared to buying those expensive 90gr co2 cartridges. Or... maybe Crossman will come up with a lower cost pump for these guns. 

Either way, for anyone who thinks $350 is too high of a cost of entry, I would advise against getting into PCP guns. Whatever you buy initially is only the beginning. If you don't have cash to support the habit once you get hooked then people will be selling their bot bots to pay for new guns. 

 

[Dcorvino]

I will probably end up getting one to plink with.
The way I look at it is for me I can not use CO2 year round so this would be a great option to those who live in colder locations 
I already have the support equipment so the cost is not that great. 
As long as it is a decent can killer I'll be happy

I will likely expect a bundle with a pump, like what they did with the Maximus. When you combine the AGNATION discount, you might get the pump and rifle combined for about $235. The current air pump, target, glasses, pellets, Maximus bundle is about $262 with discount.
