Honest Review
I love air guns. Over a lifetime I have owned many types and brands: German Springers ($$$), pump-up Crossmans and Daisys, Cheap Chinese stuff, Slavias, Winchester, Benjamin, Beemans...lots of them. But this is my all-time favorite. Why? It is lightweight without feeling cheap. It is so quiet! It is easy to fill as it has a smaller reservoir for air, yet it shoots 25 consistent shots without refilling. It is regulated and gives repeated and accurate results. Speaking of that; its accuracy is nothing short of phenomenal when you consider barrel length. I was hitting a soup can at 60 yards in a seated position with little effort and a cheap 4x scope. It also shoots cheap and expensive pellets well. (It likes Barracuda Match the best over long distances, but Crossman Premiers also shoot well at reasonable distances and are dirt cheap. You can buy an upgraded Plenum from eBay if you want even more shots per fill.Any drawbacks? The action is a little gritty in terms of loading when you first get it, and it is not as smooth of a trigger as the German Rekord on the R7 and R9s...but this is just picky stuff.Just a bit of advice from a seasoned air gunner, buy an electric PCP pump. So worth not having to deal with a hand pump. A terrific carbine that shoots as well as some high-end German rifles which are more than 4x the cost. A no-brainer purchase. Get one!Being as balanced in this reviews as I can: About the only thing that I can say as a negative is that the multi shot magazine is total garbage. The spring inside is weak and often fails or comes out of its small retaining hole. This ruins the magazine. Buy the internet sold aftermarket mags for the Notos instead. They do not fail and are not made in China garbage.Ver másVer menos
