My ideal air rifle would be anything under 110 dollars that can fire 1000fps. I have searched extensively but found none. Are there any such guns? If not I'll just get a 1077.

hit the pawn shops,gun shops and thrift stores also garage sales man,i copped a 98 1077 for 20 bucks and a daisy 200 co2 pistol i resealed and reworked for a steal.for 1000 fps man your talkin springer action here,if you built a 2240/60up you would need to run on pcp charged tanks to get around 8-900 fps with a heavily steroided valve.

how do u reseal your 1077!!!

daisy 200 co2 pistol i resealed and reworked for a steal

I also have a daisy 200 co2 that leaks. It is advertized as seal-less. I have disassembled this pistol many times trying to fix it. I also had a trigger return spring problem an a problem with the vert trigger spring (now lost and replaced. The vertical piston is also prone to jaming.

Any advice to reseal this gun? Thanks

For under a hundred???

First off, you should look more into Xisco Hercules(chinese made). The B19 is a good choice, .22, or .177 is good choice. Look it up.
Most companies claim they mark at 1000fps, but when chronied "real" FPS are normally 850-950. The only 1000FPS air rifle that I know of is the Gamo 1250 hurricane which is double your budget. Dont be fool by the chinese airguns because of their prices. They are actually very good. the B19,B20,B21 packs a mean punch, can kill rabbits @ 40 yards.
You can even get them tuned by well respected airgunners. My QB78 will be shooting @ 800 fps.
TTYL.

Do u think the Tech Force 97 is a good air rifle I was thinking of buying that one. Its a chinese air rifle. It says it is 900 feet per second.

You can buy a Winchester 1000 for about 105 at walmart. They are good guns made by Daisy with the Winchester name. They have 1000 fps, and are excellent quality.

The FPS are over rated, when chronied they do only about 850 +

Break in the rifle first. They say after about 100 shots it gets to its real fps. Just shooting it right out the box, it wont do much.

The Winchester is pretty good. A buddy of mine has one. But I hear the trigger is plastic and is pretty crappy, long stiff pull. I'm not sure as I dont own one. Just go with a B18/19 for 80 bucks and get it tuned by Charlie Da Tuna. It'll be a great magnum rifle when he's done with it.

About the TF97, I hear it's pretty accurate. But power wise might be a debate.

Is the .22 version of the 97 better in terms of power. And what about the 99 which they say is 1000-1100 fps?

get a QB78 in .22 cal. It is not a 1000 fps airgun but it is an accurate hard hitting airgun out of the box. It can be tuned easily to increase power and it is a great plinker or hunter. You can run it off of two 12 gram CO2 cartridges or set it up with a bulk cap and do bulk air. The best deal around for your money, period. The QB78 puts the 1077 to shame in the accuracy, power, and hunting categories. The only thing that the 1077 had over the QB is the fact that it's semi-auto (kinda sorta-more of a double action technically). I love the 1077 for plinking and the QB for serious airgun work.

Just my two pennies worth,

I have a Tech Force QB 78-T and love it. Cost is $99.99. It is already adapted to a 9 oz. or smaller paintball tank. Real accurate and lots of fun to shoot. You can shoot all day long on one tank. Refill is $2 to $3. It will take all the standard Crosman modifications. The trigger is great. It can be adjusted to where a gnat landing on it will fire the gun. Put a scope on it and you will never put it down.

Sounds like the Tech Force / Shanghai / Xisico QB-78 is a fun alternative for people that like the 1077. I would be willing to give up the semi-auto for a heftier gun with more power and a lighter trigger pull.
How does the QB78 do on the number of shots you get with the two-cartridge CO2 load? Will this gun go through 12-gram powerlets faster than my 1077W?

You get about 25 good shots for each 12gram powerlet; about 50 for two. You can load one spent cart and one new cart and only shoot a short session w/the one cart. The trigger is very simple in design and is extremely easy to adjust for a verrrrrrrrrry light trigger. If you pick one up and have questions on tuning I'd be more than happy to direct you to a good tume site or simply answer your questions. I love working on these guns, great results for the effort put forth. Get a .22 cal if you ever think you'll pop critters or want some more intense plinking sessions. I'd only get the .177 for target use. These guns are all steel and wood (except for the barrel band) and are great shooters. You can tune to a variety of purposes very easily. There are a few must do tunes regardless if you want power or efficiency. Buy one, you won't be dissapointed, as long as you're willing to do a little tuning (can be done with basic tools).

Sounds like a reason to try the bulk setup.
I'm inclined to stay with 0.177 for comonality with my other guns, plus all I use them for is to defend my backyard from paper targets and aluminum cans.
When I get bored with the 1077W, I'll probably scare up $71 somewhere....
