Quick question: what is better to buy a synthetic stock or a wood one for the 1077? Also is Air Source a better option and is there any way to up the fps on it? I live in Canada so Im limited to 500 fps.

-Thanks

if i wre you i would get a synthetic stock cause they dont way as much as wood and look pretty decent. and if i were you i would buy a U.S. version of the gun cause who is going to check the fps of you air rifle? you could go accros the border, if you are relitivley close or dont mind a ride, and get one at a gun show or at an enthusiasts shop or at practically any gun store or sporting store. they might not be everywhere but you will find one. and yes the airsource is a better option because you get more consistant, accurate shots. just using the little cartridges are ok but i would get into an airsource.

Good day;
It is interesting, but in Southeastern Michigan (I can see Canada from where I live), it is cheaper to operate a 1077 with 12 Gram Powerlets (at $0.45 to $0.50 each) than with Airsource bottles at (about) $6.00 each.
The following shot quantity is for a U.S. 650 FPS piece. It would be 20 to 30 percent more for a Canadian version:
The reality of a 12 gram in a 1077 is about 30 shots.
The reality of an Airsource is about 200 shots.
Do the math..equivalent of 7 (seven) 12 grams in each Airsource.
Equal number of shots - for almost twice the cost of gas with the Airsource.
Be careful of the trap Crosman has here.
The 1077 is a great low cost rifle but it is a costly one to operate.
Between the cost of gas and pellets (hard to believe, but true) cost is a minimum of $0.01 (one cent) up to $0.03 (three cents) per shot.
I don't even take out the 1077 without planning to send $2.00 to $6.00 down the barrel, in a fairly short time.
Most of us will bulk modify this gun to lower the operating cost and increase the consistency (and fun).
Cooper T offers a 1077 bulk adapter (which I have and highly recommend) for the same price as the Airsource adapter.
I also have modified the Airsource adapter for bulk, as well.
Once modified, you simply buy a 'Paintball' type CO2 tank (of any size you wish, I use a big 24 ounce) and a "remote" (coiled hose with quick disconnect adapter).
Total cost to adapt, about $70 to $90, however...again, do the math.
That 24 ounce bottle gives me (at least) 4,000 consistent, out of the box, full strength shots and it costs $6.00 to fill.
At our price for this conversion versus the gas cost versus the Airsource cost versus the 12 Gram cost you would break even in 4,000 to 6,000 shots.
Once "bulked", the gas cost is so cheap, I don't even put it in the equation anymore.
Don't think you will be shooting that much?
Don't get a 1077, because YOU WILL BE shooting that much.
Now, for being located in Canada (with it's 500 FPM limit).
After shooting magnum 1000 FPM rifles, and having been through all of that, if you are target shooting, 500 is desirable (and where I am heading).
If you are hunting, oh never mind everything I have said.

Got so wrapped up in gas consumption, I forgot the original question.
I have two 1077's in synthetic.
My opinion, if you shoot little and like the looks of things, go wood.
If you will be going outside alot, shooting often and care more for performance than looks, go synthetic.
Incidentally, they both perform identically.
