Is the .177 Mrod devoid of the issues seen in the .22 barrels? I've been talking with Pooh, and he's a good testament to the .177, but a general consensus is what I'm looking for. Also, Is the .177 quieter than the .22?
thanks,
darryl
PS yeah, I know I had finally discounted the Mrod, but that's because of the .22 barrel issues (box of chocolates).

I've owned a .177 Marauder for more than a year now and never had a bit of problem with mine. It groups well from 25 yards to 65 yards and can shoot most all pellets. I have a Steve Corcoran laminate stock and it is a little heavy but very stable. I'm glad I got a .177 and not a .22.

Hi Carl,
from what I've been reading, I'd guess a few people might have felt better off with a .177 Mrod versus the .22. Makes me rethink the .177 as a PCP rifle to have.
thanks man,

My .177 is more quiet then my .22. After I replaced the barrel with another stock crosman barrel the .22 is extremely accurate. Words cannot express how happy I am with the .22. The .177 is great to. Its very quiet and accurate, but easily affected by wind. Never had an issue with the .177 out of the box and factory settings.

Yea no issues with my .177 M-Rod but I have not had it very long. That is why I went with .177. To me it was a choice between .177 and .25 since I don't did not want to test my luck on getting a good .22 barrel. I am very happy with my decision.

The .177 may be my next choice for a PCP rifle. I'm wary of the .22 barrels, which I have to say I regret feeling that way. But the .177 has more than enough power for my needs, and should toss a heavy pellet with some authority.

Darryl,
As of late I've been using the Predator BigBoy Senior domed pellets, 15.8 grains, with amazing and excellent accuracy in my .177 M-Rod. And the really good thing is that they fit in the magazine, albeit just a little snug.

With a Polymag, I think you'll have squirrels and birds covered with the .177. Especially true if you aren't restricted with tight boundaries. It should have been my choice for my application, but the .22 was new and seductive. 
And it was pre-.25, when I thought I would use it for more varied hunting.
I do appreciate the balance the .22 strikes, in terms of bringing squirrels straight down within bounds, but without too mutch overpenetration. But I'm sure a .177 Polymag, placed directly into head, will do the same. The prospect of even lower noise is pretty darn seductive as well.
While overkill can be fun, who doesn't enjoy getting more done with less?
