UmarexAir Rifle

As a whole, it's 4 stars. The magazine or maybe the pin probe, sucks. It's garbage really, but read on fellow PCP fanatics. The gun is awesome, quiet, accurate and light. Why they don't address the mag/pellet probe issue bewilders me. But buy a mag from Maple Customs or Carm and it's fantastic, especially for the price, hence the 5 star review. I have pellet guns from $50 to $2200 (FX Impact) and can honestly say, no, this is not on par, or even close to $2200 gun. But for sub $250 it's fantastic. 21 full power shots 737fps w 15.89 JSB's makes 19fpe right out of the box. That's w the hammer spring all the way out. Read as...It's got more on tap! As for sound, it's the same as my stock Marauder pistol...except more powerful (P-rod shooting 626fps w 15.89s so 13.83fpe) The sound of the ping of metal spinners to your ear...well there's no doubt the Notos is smacking much harder. I bought this gun to prove to a fellow airgunner (Zak) that this gun will not compare to my P-rod...well now I gotta tell him he was freakin right...ugh. LOL The target pic, upper right, Notos w 15.89FX pellets, lower right, P-rod, same pellets. P-rod has a 3-9 scope, Notos had a red dot... Deck was stacked for P-rod to win, but that Notos is a damn close second. I'll update this review when I add a scope to Notos, but I expect it to win, being it almost tied w a red dot. Now the Marauder pistol feels better, quality wise, better trigger, can add a Donny FL Tanto easily (I did) and it's half as loud, THE MAG IS FLAWLESS, but... The Notos is more powerful, and half the money. And this thing is just as accurate...so yeah...Zak was right and he'll probably see this... BTW, get some of those bottle cap targets, the ones that allow you to fill a soda bottle to 100psi, but beware, they are shotgun loud, not backyard friendly AT ALL! But fun!

A tack driver with the right pellets. Nice look, fit and finish, lightweight and very accurate. Probably the best out there for the price range. I look for prices to skyrocket on the Notos. Its better than the price you pay for it. Many accessories are available for it as well on e-bay and other PCP supplier sights. I highly recommend it. Make sure you load the magazine correctly, watch you tube, or you will quickly destroy the barrel and injection system. Use high quality, high quality rated pellets in the correct weight and you will be overly impressed at the 1" groups.

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.

This has proven to be a great PCP air rifle. Pros: Cost, accuracy, and ease/availability of upgrades. Cons: Only 1 magazine included with initial purchase, limited shots per magazine (7), small stock air tank (about 20 regulated shots per fill)... Luckily, these few cons are cost effectively overcome with aftermarket upgrades, which make this air rifle an absolute dream to plink/varmint hunt with. Highly recommend!!

Seems nice and quiet. Easy to fill using my scuba tanks. However I can’t get it to sight in at all. High quality scope on the rail but at 20 yards even, I have the scope adjusted all the way and it still shoots about 6” low. Not sure what the problem is but will,shim the scope mounts and see if that might work.

This is a fantastic little plinker. Not loud at all, very accurate, and super cheap to plink. I get around 30 shots every time I fill it up. I bought aftermarket magazines because the seven shot magazine is garbage. But I knew this buying it after watching many videos on PCP air gun's. I agree this is the gateway PCP. I've had it a couple weeks, I've had no problems with anything after around 600 rounds. Anything catastrophic I'll update.

Gun is nice but deceiving. I should have read the bad reviews 1st. -----> Non-returnable<----- &&&& does not come with PISTOL GRIPS!!! Buy from someone else who QC their outgoing products. Benjamin Marauder is a bit more but you get what you pay for. I haven't shot it yet but reviews aren't so great with leaky tank. I'm sure this company doesn't have a competent Quality Control Team. Update: As suspected. Tank leaks into barrel. Read these bad reviews before you purchase. No returns.
