As many viewers know I love an underdog rifle and as a springer man I couldn't resist the urge to take a punt at the Norica Storm. On paper the rifle ticks all the right boxes for me personally.
It's an underdog in the UK,
It's beautiful to look at,
It uses a spring,
and it isn't ridiculously priced.
But that is just half of the story of course because all of these positives are completely worthless if the rifle can't shoot its way out of a plastic bag. So lets do a bit of research and put the Storm in the spotlight so we can see what's what!
I owe a MASSIVE thank you to the lovely people at Regael for sending me this rifle for a review whilst also allowing me to truly speak my mind about the rifle. If interested you can get in touch with Regael and ourselves at:

Really like you're review style, on point. Good details, picture and confident voice. 👍

@bigdansairguns83 5 лет назад

Thanks for the comment mate it means a lot.

@uriahheep8470 5 лет назад

Nice channel you have here. Glad to see you working in some springers.

@bigdansairguns83 5 лет назад

Hey mate, thanks for that, yeah I'm planning on reviewing a lot more of the cheaper end springers this year as I think they're a chronically overlooked part of the airgun community. £500 PCP's are nice but it isn't what we'll end up starting with so if I can help in that regard then I'll do my best.

@bigdansairguns83 3 года назад

Haha it's a damn pretty rifle isn't it! Usually you only see that type of checkering on the far more expensive stuff. If you want to see some more interesting Spanish rifles take a look at the Cometas, you may have better luck finding them in Canada too. Thanks Douglas and look after yourself.

@matthewfrancis-nichols6955 5 лет назад

Nice to see some Springer reviews for a change instead of the latest PCP

@bigdansairguns83 5 лет назад

Hi Rob, I agree mate if I'm honest although I do appreciate what PCP's are capable of I always find sprngers more interesting and fun to shoot. As long as I don't get anything pop up that might change my plans my goals for this year are to review more cheaper springers and gas rams..... ....although that being said we will be reviewing the Artemis M16 next haha.

@martynridley3671 2 года назад

Well and truly tested indeed, Dan and a really competent review. The pellet weight test was really interesting and quite surprising. I've just picked up a s/h BSA Lightning and I'm loving the carbine barrel, but I'm wondering whether the same test would hold true for a shorter barrel. Might be interesting to see. Stay safe and happy springing!

@HSumF 3 года назад

Excellent review!!! Congratulations!!! I liked the performance of the Brazilian Rifle Premium pellets. It really shows that brazilian pellets have taken a great leap in quality in recent years. But in general, there is still a lot to improve, lol.

@bigdansairguns83 3 года назад

Hi Hugo! The Rifle pellets are genuinely excellent pellets that have done exceptionally well in professional target competitions. In my experience the .22's for sub 12 ft-lbs aren't the best usually but the .177 Field and Premium lines are fantastic!

The HW97 is a lovely bit of kit mate I've got a HW97KT myself. Funnily enough of all things the mother bought it for me for me 21st birthday present! I won't lie mate I've filmed a bit of the M16 review but I've not had a chance to get any further with it because of the weather, if it isn't windy it's raining!

@TPERETTI666 5 лет назад

With a litle tune this gun really shine, Its a very good spanish gun. And acepts gasram, here in Brazil it's a very commom tune for this. If You like the original trigger try replace the springs in the trigger unit for some lighter like sprigns of clicky pens, stays RIDICULOUSLY LIGHT trigger. Great review Dan!! Congrats from Brazil and sorry for my poor english.

@bigdansairguns83 5 лет назад

Hey mate, don't apologise for your English mate you probably speak it better than I do haha. Thanks for the info, they really are a lovely rifle and this one has since been added to my own personal collection. I'll try the pen spring tune. Thanks a lot mate and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Hey Brian, I'll add it to the list mate. I've got an Artemis M16 that I'm filming at the moment (although the weather is being a nuisance at the moment!) and after that I happen to have come across a BSA Superstar whilst the HW77 and the Eclipse is still in my possession.. After that though any rifle is fair game mate so I'll crack on with it.

Hi Robert, it's a lovely made rifle if I'm honest mate and despite the recoil it actually shoots really well and even that should calm down a bit once it's run in. The only thing I wish I could change is that plastic trigger unit!

@bigdansairguns83 5 лет назад

Hi Douglas. Thanks for watching the video mate, yeah they're a lovely piece of kit to the point where I've actually kept one back for myself. They shoot brilliantly the only downside is that trigger blade, if that was metal it'd be one of my favourite springers.

@regsparkes6507 4 года назад

I'm more than year late to this test, I found this while looking at reviews of air rifles that I do own. I don't own that model Norica Storm, but I do have the Norica Hawk in .22 cal. which is a GRS ( gas ram system ) and have not been shooting with it much. I don't have a sensible answer why I have not had much shooting with the Hawk but I'll remedy this now as soon as our crappy weather ceases. I am interested in the performance figures you achieved with those different pellets and wished we had a dealer here in Canada who does stock those Brazilian 'Rifle' branded pellets. Thanks for this one Dan,...Cheers!

@bigdansairguns83 4 года назад

Hi Reg! I'm glad you liked the video, the Norica's are great rifles and the gas ram system they use is lovely to shoot. We plan on reviewing a Hawk very soon possibly the GRS Elegance model with the eye catching greyed out stock. It's a shame you can't source any Reg as the Rifle pellets are all pretty good. Have you tried Ebay or Amazon? Thanks Reg,

@regsparkes6507 4 года назад

@@bigdansairguns83 Amazon here in Canada, is getting to be ridiculous in pricing,..almost double prices when compared to other om-line dealers. E-bay pellets are in the U.S. for Canada viewers, and I don't want to take a chance on buying ammunition across borders,..that's a real 'no no' here, unfortunately! I'll be looking forward to your review on the Norica Hawk. Thanks Dan!

I'd love to give one a shot. Norica make some excellent gear and like Cometa are very underrated.

@v8pilot 2 года назад

Thank you for this review. I have a Norica Krono air rifle and the trigger is *very* heavy. Is there any way to adjust it to be lighter?

@pericodelospalotes5738 5 лет назад

1:26 My Norica Storm 5,5mm (.22) is the most accurate with JSB Straton Jumbo, which are pointed. Not always domed are the best, it depends on your particular barrel, not even model or brand of air rifle. By the way, with that long expansion camera you can install a 24 jules original Norica gasram, illegal in the UK unless you have a firearm license but... who knows? For the .177 I would say 24j is too much, not for .22 caliber.

Thanks for the review Dan, but I prefer my 99 s to this especially with the weihrauch name and it’s cheaper with the reputable trigger ,,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

@bigdansairguns83 3 года назад

Hi Shane. The HW99S is a brilliant little gun but I'd personally take the Norica just for the underdog factor.I'm a bit weird like that. Both are as accurate as eachother but whilst the HW99S has the trigger.. the Norica has that beautiful stock. The sensible money would be on a sorted HW99S, the Storm is more for the unique factor.

@stevenfreeman7798 4 года назад

Good review really enjoyed it!. Would love to see a review of the smk th208 as there is nothing any good at all review wise on the net that is not 10 years old lol!.. seems the Chinese are on the up and up while Hw and air arms seem to be letting things slide recently.

@bigdansairguns83 4 года назад

Hi Steven! We're filming our next review already and whilst it's not a 208 it is a sister Supergrade. The 208's are a great rifle and smooth to shoot too. I think a review may just be on the cards. Thanks for the idea Steven. I'll gladly steal it and claim the credit.

@oldschoolbudapestworkout2105 9 месяцев назад

I went yesterday for the first time with my new Norica Storm to the shooting range (7,5 joules) Being used to shooting with my three Weihrauchs, I immediately felt that it's not the same category. I find the trigger very hard and weird, in fact I had to sand it because it literally cuts my finger. I guess I just have to get used to it, but it's really not Weihrauch!

@abdullahnadan7232 3 года назад

Sir, which scope & pellets would be good be Norika Storm please?

@nymphonorma3719 4 года назад

I live in Denmark so must get a 1.77 as .22 forbidden, however we have no muzzle velocity limit which is nice. What you think the all round best £200 (ish) rifle is. Preferable one also good for a lefty . Norma I

@bigdansairguns83 4 года назад

Hi Norma. Ah now that's a difficult one. It all comes down to what you intend on using it for and what you like/don't like. If you don't mind heavier rifles my money would be on the SMK XS20 as even out of the box they're superb to shoot. The Remington Sabres are exceptional as well and Hatsan make some very good springers. If you'd rather something a bit more petite then I'd recommend the XS19 which should leave you around £80 for upgrades. For that money you could get an upgraded trigger and a drop in kit to make the rifle extremely smooth and quiet to shoot. There's also the HW99S if you can source one sub £200 but be careful as they can gall themselves. At the end of the day it all comes down to your personal preferences and what you feel fits you the best. Thanks Norma!

Hey Arran, Thanks for enjoying our videos, I'll be getting a Sabre in for a review as soon as I can. The Warhawk's are nice but I'd go for the XS38 instead. The Warhawk might be prettier but the XS38 shoots just as well if not better and you'll be saving yourself a pretty penny.

Hi Dan, the review you did on the XS38 was very interesting, I've never shot one myself but I've heard a lot of good things about it, I try to stay away from smk but if I find an XS38 cheap enough I'll give it a go, I'll look forward to your next video Regards.

@@arranc6870 Hey mate, The XS38 is a nice rifle and you're genuinely missing out on some good rifles by not trying some of SMK's gear especially the Supergrades. The XS19, XS20, 208 series and the Remingtons all punch well above their price in my experience.

@BloodnGutz43 4 года назад

It maybe a better idea to use the rifles for a week putting a hundred pellets through it every day then doing the review and accurracy tests , good procedural testing , but sounds a bit wacky , btw like the stock and the look not the price, prefer my FX T12, nice gun though if had spare cash maybe tempted.

@bigdansairguns83 4 года назад

Hey mate, I've thought about reviewing the accuracy over stages however the issue with that is time constraints on my part, not just because of video length but also as it'd potentially take weeks to review just one rifle. At the moment most of our reviews are with rifles that are taken straight out of the box as it's exactly how the customers will get their rifles. This way we can give the most accurate representation of what viewers can expect from each rifle.

@bigdansairguns83 3 года назад

Hi Countryside guy. The Storms are incredibly accurate, bear in mind that the rifle wasn't even close to being run in and yet we could still get 5p groups. With more pellets being put down range not only would the rifle lead in but it'd also smoothen out regarding the recoil. They're a lovely rifle the Storm's and damn good looking too it must be said!

I once owned a Norica Marvic Gold in 1.77 and i have to say it was the worst air rifle i have ever owned . Very inaccurate off of a rest and i hated the trigger , i found it had loads of creep and adjusting the trigger simply made it go from bad to worse. However i do enjoy your review's.

@bigdansairguns83 4 года назад

Hi Ian. That does sound pretty awful mate, surprising too because as far as I'm aware the Marvic Gold shares the same action as the Storm and uses the NATS trigger. That being said I did find that the Storm was far more enjoyable to shoot off of the palm than off of the rest. The trigger felt great to me though. I wonder if they'd had a bad batch of triggers in the past. I'll do some digging with my suppliers. Thanks Ian and look after yourself.

You need to bear in mind that the rifle was out of the box and needed running in. With JSB it was already hitting 11+ft-lbs. Once run in that'll be over 11 all day long.
