| I wonder if they'll make the Nosler in .177. If they do I'd definitely give them a try. |

Well the sure look awesome, Ill be looking to put a few .25's through the M-Rod as soon as a I get a chance. My father in law is out at the SHOT show in Las Vegas this week and Im pestering him to grab any pre release/freebies for me if possible. |

Nice looking underlever... a clone of something else?
"77" suggests HW77 or could be .177.... any suggestions? |

It does indeed look nice, I found it rather fetching... Hopefully under the 200 range. |

| The Gold Flight pellets look interesting for hunting small to medium game as well. But they're a tad light for any serious hunting application. And since they're supposed to hold their form after penetration, the issue of pass through shots are going to be a pretty obvious concern. I'd try those as well, if they were like 10.5-12 grains. |

They would be good for places that require non toxic shot. I have 2 places up here that you MUST use air gun .177 and strongly suggest non toxic shot. I managed to appease them with the copper coated Beeman and H&N pellets. |

We'll probably get the scoop from Eric on the underlever. Hopefully it's not just a B3 in fancy wood, because it is awfully pretty.
I would shy away from the plastic encased pellets. Skenco (aka Skanko) and others have been doing that for years and I've never heard anything good about them from a serious shooter |

The issue with plastic cased pellets is generally about flight stability and tumbling. But I've always been of the belief that these issues could be eliminated by streamlining the projectile's plastic skirt to make a smooth connection to its metal head, and increasing and balancing the weight inside the plastic skirt.
It's just a theory, but I believe thats what they've done with these Gold Flight pellets, so they should be better than Skenco. |

That UL77 looks a little to much like an Air Arms TX200, or it's clone, the BAM B40. |

Well, that's what was on the first Crosman Blog... but now they say $350 SRP and word is it will retail with a mediocre (crappy) Crosman non AO 3-9x32 scope for round $300. They claim improvements and upgrades to the hardware over the old B40. So, this may be a viable offering. |
