I pulled this out and started shooting it in my basement range, a 9 year old IZH 61. It comes with 2 five round clips, and it's a side cocking repeater so you can keep cranking out rounds pretty fast. Just cock and shoot, no other fiddling around and it's pretty accurate, only 490 FPS. I think I paid around $120? no Co2 to buy is kinda nice and no multi pumping.

They're a lower powered rifle and very easy to cock, mine came with an extra spring I think is supposed to be a higher compression but I never tried it, shoots fine as is. They're pretty much target shooting only, not stron enough for hunting but they are cool. |

These little guns have features a lot of others don't, I especially like the auto indexing of the clip each time you cock it, I have not seen this in anything that price range, and mine actually came with an extra clip. I was looking at the Avanti 853 which looks interesting, but I think you have to cycle the bolt after the one pump, to index a pellet. I wish a manufacturer would come out with a rifle you pumped say, 15 times and then got 5-10 shots semi-auto  |

A pump version of the Crosman 1077 maybe? Index the clip by pulling the trigger. Even pumping it once for each shot would be cool. |

I owned and used a number of airguns over the past 6 or 7 years. I do mostly target shooting and want airguns that are pretty accurate and repeatable, I like the Daisy Powerline 953. It's a single pump, 5 shot repeater that is very accurate. I've never shot it over 50 feet, but it's a great little target rifle at that distance. I also have a Crosman 2260 CO2 rifle that I like a lot. And, I just bought a Crosman 2289 Backpacker which is part of their doomsday bugout package... $79 at Pyramid. I had a Crosman 1077 and found that it's accuracy is not very repeatable. Don't know about the others you mentioned.
