hi im new here, i grew up with a 760 and now i have a 1377 with a 760 barrel
im wonderin what the limits are on my 1377 set up as far as what it can kill what pellets will kill better etc

im also kinda wanting to get a break barrel i was looking at the crosman phantom $80 at walmart rated at 1000fps
or i liked the beeman dual 22 and 177 at walmart i dont know how much, does any one know.

which of the rifles would yall recomend for small game, duribility, and performance.

also can you mod break barrels like change out the spring so it would be stronger.

thanks,
doug

You might not want to go with the dual barrel setup. I've heard of more than a few complaints on here about it. You have to rezero it after every barrel change, the setscrew works loose, etc. I have a storm which is the same thing as the phantom with a cheaper scope and I have never had a problem with it.

How did you attach a 760 barrel to a 1377? The 760 feeds air behind the pellet through a plastic end cap/adapter- the 1377 has a transfer port machined into to- the two are not really compatible without modifiications.

Welcome to AGH.

I would wait and save up about $250 and get a Diana 34. It really is that superior.

If you can't wait (you can probably can), then the Phantom is a better choice.

Try RWS SuperDomes, JSB pellets (any .177), and Crosman Premier. Predators are devastating on small game, but they may not be very accurate in your particular gun.
