When loading cartridges or just using single shot I pour some pellets into the lid. This makes them easier to pick up and it doesn’t damage the other pellets by digging into them.
Nice one Jonny! Good to see a budget end review and a reasoned test. That's the kind of affordable type of gun that gets more people on the road to enjoying this great sport of ours! Few of us can afford or appreciate (say) a Rolls Royce as a first car, but we can aspire to over the years!
I have one of these rifles and I absolutely love it. I have though put a Hawk 3x12x50 scope on it. 50 yd accuracy is as good as it gets frankly. Only fault I can find really is the air bottle is just a tad small. I'm getting 40 accurate shots and then it drops off. However the small bottle helps to make it as light as it is. Love it. 👍😉
Great review.. I talked myself out of budget things - when I factor in the cost of all the accessories and usage over a year or two, a few quid more on a nicer bicycle/gun/camera/car/shoes makes little difference financially but a big difference in terms of user enjoyment and ROI
Been looking at this rifle for a little while now, and good like this reviews are scarce, so thanks. Bipod on that rifle is the 2 piece side rail fixer. As I'm in France where non FAC are sub 20 joules (& I can get the silenced version) but I'd still have liked a bit of chrono.
Bonjour! Je suis en France aussi, et en regardant cette vidéo, je me suis rendu compte qu'il y avait un petit "inlet" cache poussière, à l'endroit ou se met la pièce de la pompe, or la mienne n'avait pas cette pièce à la réception! Sais tu si on peut la trouver, et chez quel vendeur? Merci, et bons tirs à toi !
Hello, I recently bought a small cottage in Normandy & eventually hope to shoot there - a good sized fallen barn offers a good backstop. Things are kinda on hold for a while because of a broken leg 🙄
Spot on. They've actually made it worse by moving the air guage to the danger end rather than the underside Luke the PR900w. Crazy that they are charging twice the price for just a different stock.
I have the S20? old break barrel .22 with the wood stock and after zero then three shots can hit 12G primers at 30 yards. not bad for GBP 140. shame the trigger guard was broken on arrival yet the box was undamaged SGC!
I have one of these rifles and love it. its zeroed at 30 yards, tried it a few times it at 50 yards and hit the target every time, the group was a little open each time cause I didn't take the time to fine tune it but was very happy.
That right there is a really cool peashooter awesome looking now if it can group!!! Then I really want one and I’m just gonna go out on a limb and say it’s going to be the number one selling air gun in the world... Thanks 🙏
"Pro adaptive" and the smirking had me laughing. Oddly, I tried a bargain rifle, and it was so horrible, I called for an RMA# the same day. Mine was the Remington 725VTR, a chinese crossman. Yikes, there was so much wrong with it I would be here forever--- it was the worst rifle I ever fired. Seems like you made out much better. At least the Stoeger works properly. I've used the Stoeger coach gun as a truck gun for five years. They're very beefy, and work good even when dirty.
I bought an old Daystate a few years ago,tbh if this was on the market back then this would’ve been a better choice. I’m more into my shotgun but this looks ideal for the use I need an air rifle for
Even with the Fortitude being well known for being under powered, every time I see people review it they lay down very respectable groups. So my money will be on a Fortitude (when I get some)
Nice review - fair and balanced. Nice entry level PCP to get you into the sport - nowt wrong with starting small, think mine was a PR900W, using a RM8 UC now.
Just watched this, I recently bought the Bullpup version. The side rails are for the Bipods, they don't go under the stock, and come in pairs. The Gamo ones fit, and are about £20 cheeper
@@stukyuIt’s easy yes but you have to break it down almost completely to reach the reg., unless you have a really long screwdriver that can reach the adjust screw without removing the reg from the air tube. In that case all you gotta do is unscrew the pressure gauge, it’s abit fiddly but can be done. Im getting ~25 regulated shots on my .177 fac, it was 12 out of the box but ofc it lowers your fps quite abit which is fine by me. Just make small adjustments at a time, cw to decrease the reg preasure, ccw to increase it.
@@gigolocan8914 Ok thanks mate will give it a go. But I believe the reg is set at 140 bar but closer to 100 gives a better shot count and a flatter power curve.
@@stukyu Stoeger says it’s set at 125-130, mine fell off the reg at around 140, now it’s around 100. Less power but more consistent shots per fill. GL with it. Edit: I believe i ended up at approx 1/2 turn cw from the factory settings if i remember correctly was awhile ago I messed with it.
For 30 yard shooting you may as well get a higher quality springer, from my experience once you know how to shoot them they are just as accurate as this gun at those shorter ranges (Hw97 myself) The pcp guns come into their own for longer ranges, which then requires regulation for consistency. Plus a pump, maybe a tank, a power supply, for plinking in the countryside 50 shots goes quickly. Enjoy your reviews.👍
First video of yours I've seen, and first look at this air rifle, and very impressed with both! Definitely a notch or two up on my first forays into the joys of air rifle shooting in the early 70's - a Mibro G27 .22 and Mod 25 .177 with iron sight! Definitely interested in this and subscribed thank you
I own a stoeger mx1 1 month and so great fun during this time of a lot of shooting I used 1500 pellets I had to unscrew it 5 times because Pellet Probe it jammed and blocked 😭😭 It makes a very loud click when charging pellet a nice toy for the garden It's not good for Pest control Overall, I don't recommend it
I brought one last week. I needed something for murdering squirrels. I can't fault your review. The only thing that I had a problem with is the supplied scope, which is useless due to the exposed turrets. I just put on an old 3X9 that I had spare. I'm enjoying it. The squirrels are not.
it is the same gun basically as the Diana Stormrider or the Artemis/SPA PR900. I have a PR900 in full power, shoots 18 grain pellets about 800FPS, gives me about 35 shots (5 magazines) before it falls off the regulator. Also has a very nice wood stock.
Hey I know nothing about these rifles but am thinking about getting one, how do you put air into them? can you use a regular air compressor? I just dont want to spend 1000$ to be able to fill the gun
I kinda enjoy Weihrauch (HW44, HW98, HW80, HW35E). We don't get the HW99 in the states. Dianwerks, and Air Arms also make good rifles. I have an old Dianwerks M34, and it's awesome. Air Arms ProSport kicks butt too. Best spring-piston rifle I ever fired. I even ordered a second one in .177. Spendy, but you get decades of life and enjoyment. On pcp, I'm Airforce and EDgun. Both are exceptional and powerful.
I just scrapped out the last greatest air rifle from Stoeger their ATAC Supressed. Pure garbage and no help from Stoeger. Sawed the stock in half and dropped it into the recycle bin along with the loose metal parts.2 inch groups at 10 yards and 4 inch groups at 30 yards.
Have you found if it's possible to change the hammer configuration? I have the impression that it is configured to type to the max which is not great. A chrony does not show me a standard curve for an unregulated PCP (only to go down from the first shot)
Hello! I am in France and I bought an XM1 in .117, which is the same except for the caliber. I pass over the fact that I am old and with my broken right shoulder I cannot pump at 200 bar (but I ordered a GX CS3 PCP compressor Sold by: ANKUL on Amazon, very expensive, and I'm waiting for him. But I have some concerns, the smallest being the stock a little short for my big arms, I don't have a thread like on yours, but it is sufficiently silent, but ESPECIALLY, I see, at 10:06 on your video, that you have a kind of inlet against the dust, but mine is delivered without this accessory, and the seller told me that he received them without this accessory. Obviously I will order one in England , if you have an address, or at least, if you could give me the dimensions of yours (diameter, length and material) I will have one made by a friend who is a turner-mechanic who is equipped for that. I will very much appreciate a response from you, with all my friendship from France. Have a good time with this rifle. Charles
I have been eyeing up PCPs for a while now (my old springer has really had it) but I would have to save-up a bit longer or dig deeper and go further up market. Whilst I trust Jonny's opinion highly, I just couldn't bring my self to buy something that looks so 'orrible :D How's your BSA inventory ? ;)
I have a question my handpump when its not connect with the gun it work we kan feel the air going away and when we put it in the gun the air dosent goes in. Thank you for helping me.
I bought a Stoeger and after years of shooting it I nic-named it Lightning. It never hits in the same place twice. I have tried every pellet known to man. I have tried every trick I know and all I could find on RU-vid, nothing works. I would never buy another one.
