Ruger has introduced a new 10/22 CO2 model. Looks promising for those who want to practice in the back yard or basement using a rifle much like they use for Appleseed. Only issue I see is the rapid fire trigger weight, but can be cocked to provide 3# for stage 1 and 4. See a description.specs/etc here

here is the ad:
The classic Sturm, Ruger & Co. 10/22 that most young shooters recall as their first rifle, is now available in CO2! Capable of throwing pellets downrange at 650 fps, using two 12 gram CO2 cartridges, this 10/22 is an almost an identical replica of the rimfire rifle you grew up with. The trigger is double action with a weight of 10 lbs, but by cocking the charging handle, the triggers weight is reduced to 3 lbs for that shot.
Hopefully this is a new version as the 10/22 pellet gun has been out for a while. The older version had problems with CO2 leaks.

The Aspen has a higher up front cost ($400) but doesn't require you to buy CO2. You can get over 10 good shots out of it before needing to add air. It uses the same magazines as the Benjamin Marauder. They have been out for a long time now and are available. The Aspen has a very good multi-part review by Tom Gaylord.
The Marauder is nice but is about $200 more than the Aspen and reguires a separate pump or scuba tank to charge the tank on the gun.
Options are a good thing.
I wonder if you mean the Crosman 10/77. The Ruger-Umarex was introduced in January.

I made the mistake of buying a Benjamin wildfire, the PCP clone of the Crossman 1077.
It's the kind if plinker that convinces shooters that air guns are kid's toys.
The double action, (revolver) trigger would be great training. Except I was wanting good accuracy.
It does not hold air, do not want to throw good money after bad, to ship it back.
Very glad to have spent the money to buy 2 marauders. Yesterday a friend and I were hitting lots of small targets at 70-80 yards, and even a few hits lazered to 90-115 yards.
Can't say anything about the new 10-22 C-O2 rifle. Thanks CarrolMS for posting.
My apologies CarrollMS I was thinking of the Crosman.

Here are the reviews on it from Pryamid Air. Most seem to like it.
Here is part 3 of B. B.'s review of it. Links to part 1 and 2 are at the top of the page.

10/22 Air impressions. It had a very nice trigger once the charging handle was engaged (much better than my 853 Daisy Target). Grouped very nicely at 10 yards using Crosman Premier wadcutters, but the windage was well off-center, and the rear sight is only adjustable for elevation. I will likely mount a Picatinny and a BugBuster scope to remedy that, plus it will match my 10/22 setup for Appleseed. The magazine would not "drop", one must use thumb and index finger to remove it. It would be worthwhile to buy extra circular magazines if using this for Appleseed practice; the pellets are a bit of a pain to set in the circular magazine holder; I had to seat each one individually using a ball-point pen. I fired stage 1 and 2 yesterday, and today attempted stages 3 and 4, but I likely did not have a tight seal on the gas chamber as the power had dropped significantly. I only tightened the chamber enough to find the first place it would fire, and so I probably needed another 1/4 turn on it to seal it.
Here is a review one setting up the BugBuster https://hardairmagazine.com/news/ruger-10-22-air-rifle-scope-mounting/
