Stinger Marte Pump Rifle 

Ive had my Sharp Innova .22 pump up for around 35 years. brilliant rifle.

Great review as usual! I have a soft spot for pump guns and grew up with them. It's hard to have more fun for the money involved! I must say I find it hard to skip one of your reviews as they are as entertaining as they are informative. Can't wait for the next one!

Similar to this many years ago I had a Sharpe Innova MKII, with it's peep original sights I could stack pellets on top of each other. Lovely rifle.

reminds me of the Crossman 761xl i owned in the 80s, but i feel exhausted watching this week's episode like i have done a workout😀

Reminds me of the Sharp Innova I had about 35 years ago. Very, very accurate gun and with pumping it up I developed a superb set of abs, sadly only on my right side!

Hi Andy, it's Andy here from South Africa. This rifle is sold here as a Artemis LR700W. I got one for my 13yr old son for his birthday a year back, he loves it. He puts pellets through the same hole at 15m regularly with open sights, and that is straight out of the box without adjustments! I join him with my Webley Rebel pump action and we have great fun. Thank you very much for all of your great reviews. Your review site is a 1st go to for me whenever I'm looking for our next purchase, brilliant stuff, keep on reviewing.

Andy, love your channel. This is exactly like the Sheridan Blue Streak (5mm) I purchased, as a young man, 40+ years ago, and still have , by the way. I will say that, after repeated use, it does get much easier to fill. (The gun doesn’t get easier, your arms get stronger and used to it). I used to throw 6 pumps in it in a heart beat. Now would be a different story. Good thing PCP’s came along. One major difference between this and a springer is, there is NO recoil at all. If you are not fond of that springer jolt, this may be a consideration to try.

Seems to be a bit of a pain to use to be honest, I think I’d spend the same amount on a springer, there are plenty available for around the same price or less.

Thanks Andy, as you say “a fun gun”. My lungs couldn’t take the workout so I’ll give it a miss.

Looks like a good indoor pests control rifle. I just worry about being pinched while pumping. My favorite is a Sheridan Blue Streak 5mm/20 caliber for indoor pest work.

Good morning Andy, great show today , with something different ! And at a super price ! . Pumping it up may be a problem ! Congratulations Andy you've nearly got 200 thousand Subscribers 👏 ... I've been with from your start and it's fantastic to see you doing so well 🙌 cheers Simon from York

Looks good. Breathing control takes concentration and you were giving us a demonstration so well done. I'm getting one just for the workout.

I like it. 3 or 4 pumps is great. I had a crossman years ago that needed 10 pumps to get to full power.

The best breakfast time entertainment I’ve had in years, phew I’m worn out just watching. Thanks for an excellent review Andy it’s good to know what’s out there but I’ll stick with my break barrel for now 😊

I have a Sharp Innova. Very similar to this one. Beech ambidextrous stock They haven't been available for years. Good little gun. The Galway Silencer company used to make an adapter for it

I love that you continue to show you are no gun snob!

So i had a gammo pellet gun as a kid. And havent even thought about how much i played with it in the yard growing up, as an adult until for whatever reason the youtube algorithim gods decided to bless me with this channel. I honestly just like listening while im working. Its not to distracting but its still interesting to me. Great channel plz keep up the good work.

thanks andy great review i had something similar long long ago a sharps ace made in japan a bolt action single shot multi pump rifle it was epic fun loved it thanks for the trip down memory lane 😁😁

Excellent review...I shan't be rushing to buy one of these...

Thanks Andy for showing us something a bit different and affordable. It looks hard work though and the risk of nipping your fingers on the pump’s return seems probable 😮 but apart from that it looks jolly good fun.

I own several pump guns from Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman. There's nothing like a good pump gun for taking small game at short to medium range. Accuracy is unmatched at this price range. As a twelve year old with a Sheridan Blue Streak I built a ton of muscle that first summer and took a bunch of squirrel and rabbit for the gumbo pot. I still have that 1973 Blue Streak BTW, a few reseals along the way have kept it at peak power and accuracy. They really don't make them like that anymore. I'd buy one of these given the chance just to add it to my arsenal.

In 1995 I bought a Benjamin Pump in .22 as I thought it would be nice to have something with no spring. It needed 10 pumps, and you got 2 shots. One full power, and the other greatly reduced. It was better to fire the one shot, then top up with more pumps. The novelty quickly wore off, and it sat in my rifle rack for years with the occasional check to see if it was still working, or show someone it. In 2017 I gave it away for free. Don't miss it. You could get 5 shots plus out of a break barrel in the time it took to get the first one out of the Benjamin.

Everyone sounds like a real lazy *****.. this brings back all the old pumpers. Love it!!

Wonderful seeing you Andy. Greetings from Guyana 🇬🇾 South America

I had a sharps innova years ago and loved it.

Another great video Andy

I can see this being more popular in America, as the multi pump pneumatic guns are just much more popular over there but most budget options are plastic and pot metal. Yes it isn't as practical as a springer, gas ram, c02 or pcp. But there are some people in the UK that love Crosman, Benjamin, Daisy or Sharp pump ups. So good on Stinger or whoever imports these for trying something different.

Thank you for the helpful info yet again have a bless day

Thanks Andy for another professionally edited and delivered review. I think there is always a market for every product available and to meet every budget along the way but accepting this and your review as to its value, I’m glad I don’t have one and will advise my family to cross it off my Christmas prezzy list! What a PHAFF to use.

Not for me at my age, had to much of that kind of physical work out in my teens, blind as a bat now! Good show thanks

Had the Sharp Innova in the early 80's bit of a pain regarding the follow up shot but was accurate with the ASI 6×45 Scope on board and a damn site lighter than the originally stocked HW80 I had in the gunsafe.

This seems like a nice little gun for the money. Im definitely thinking of one for my son .thanks for the review.

Great shots to say your heart is going ten to the dozen, accuracy wise its very good for the price, as always cheers for another great review.

If you can brace the muzzle end against something, pumping will be easier and more controlled. I had a Sheridan blue streak 5mm as a young lad. I currently have a Crossman 22 of the same type. Sheridan made a scope mounting piece that clamps onto the rifled barrel but you have to be careful not to tighten it too much. Both the Sheridan and Crossman take up to eight pumps. The hard part is feeding pellets into the loading area ahead of the bolt. I invented a device, using a soft plastic sheet material, like that used for totes or a laundry basket, and holes cut with a ticket punch. The device is a centimeter wide and ten long with the punch holes on one edge. The holes are cut into make gaps with an exacto knife so that they will hold the pellets firmly. Then it is a simple task to place each round in the loading area, strip the pellet off with the bolt end and into the breach.

Nice and honest review Andy, as usual. 🎉

Thanks for a great show as always 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🦕😁✌️🤞

Hello Andy.. thanks for another great review.. this rifle is the bizz.. it's got the great CP2 type block/action. but in a proper rifle setting.. big barrel. great stock. and looks pretty accurate..all in all a great starters rifle..with no fuff.. cheers mate.. kind regards Dave 🙂👍👍👍👍👍

Good review Andy, always improves my Friday morning. Think I'll stick with a springer and a PCP but I can see that something like this would be a brilliant garden plinking gun with the option to knock down the odd bunny if the shot presented itself.

thats a sharp ace, right down to the pump handle

Hello Andy, I do like this little rifle it reminds me of a rifle that I used to have when I was in my 20s and it was a sharp pump up the same type of system has this one.

Reminded me of the little sharpe Innova I once used to own

I shoot a Gamo 22 springer, lm shooting rat 🐭5 days a week on a chicking farm, That air rifle would be completely useless, from my job , But thanks for the review Andy, Keep up the good work,👍

I had a sharp innova I loved it but 10 pumps was a chore at times, I looked for one a few years and they were like hens teeth to find. I was very impressed to see full power at just 5 pumps, I,l have to get one the curiosity is killing me now.

I had a couple of these "way back in the day", but I'm not sure if a pump gun is for me now, especially at age 51. I'm sure these will have a purpose for some people as it's a very nice gun, but I'll stick to my PCP's and full auto's. Thanks Andy...another one well done.

I grew up with Benjamin and Sheridan pump-up guns and had a blast with them. As an adult I bought a Chinese barrel-cock gun and now prefer that style.

Cheers Andy For The Review 👍👍

Pumping air rifle is very popular here in Indonesia, some people even use not only for small animal but also for boar . just like you mention on the video , it is a budget air rifle and still it's fun to use and it is possible to increase the power and the accuracy.

Morning Andy, good reviews.

Interesting rifle and good to learn about different operating mechanisms. I think I will stick with my standard springers as I reckon that I can achieve a greater rate of fire; well three times as great for the effort.

seems like hard work for a bit of plinking...

I had a Crosman pump up a 766 I think it was and the multi pumping is hard work and sort of the airgun equivalent of a flintlock well maybe a percussion cap gun!

This thing looks like it'll give one arm a good workout.

Allot of us American fellas cut our teeth on super cheap pump guns set up just like that and muscle memory will get us right back in the groove lol.

Pretty much the same as the 2 pcp SMK victory’s that I had. One lasted three weeks and the other lasted 1 hour before the bolt jammed up and broke. Now changed to a Lee Enfield.

Looks like a pretty neat gun. I will have to be honest though, I do not relish the idea of pumping anything by hand. Thanks for another great review.

It appears quite similar to the Air Venturi Dragonfly II pumper, except the Air Venturi has a different pump system that does not get progressively harder to pump. The system works quite well, and the Dragonfly II has a threaded muzzle so it can take a suppressor. I have the Dragonfly II, and it shoots very well. Perhaps another video is in order with the Dragonfly.

Like the Bengamin and Sheridan rifles. There are times that I don't need full power. With a Springer you get full power whether you need it or not. With a pump you can get just what you need and it's quieter too.

Thanks Andy. The pump lever looks a bit short on this one making things awkward. The build quality does look good though

... I have an old Chinese SMK B45-3 pump, in .177, & its very similar to this, & very cranky, but, is a mighty fine plinker, with AA Fields!!

couldn’t imagine a more unpleasant shooting experience… in the bin

Great review, just shows you don’t have to spend a fortune, to have a good day shooting an air rifle, Spurred me on to put a few BBs through my little Crosman 788 Scout, great fun, and exercise 😂

I love plinking with my old Crossman, five pumps might get to one on the Marte and I'd love one of these just ta hit something close to the target :P I like that there is lots of wood on the stock so one could fine it up a bit to fit your hands and the loading cartridge I think would be a must if you're varmint hunting, and yes a scope. I like the design in general, its basic and seems well engineered, thank you for the video Andy I'm off to watch the last half :)

Growing up in the late 60's, early 70's, even at 10\11 years old I liked playing with my action men\Gi, Joe's, and even better with air rifles, haha, a pile of chimney soot, which there was always plenty available when EVERY, House, home, businesses had coal fires and chimney sweeps just dumped the soot from the chimneys in bags, a pile of soot next to the action man makes good exploding effects when shot with the air rifle haha, I had lots of air rifles growing up,break barrel's,under, and side levers, and GREAT memories of growing up before the advent of home technology, gaming etc, I grew up playing knifie on rope swings, trying to stick the knife the furthest, on the tree or the ground etc, made our own bows and arrows, used bin lids as shields, and just had a great time growing up in the days of knowing what it was to WANT, unlike nowadays, but no matter how little we had, I always had an air rifle, was never really into pistols, especially the wee push down gats haha,stingy if you got shot with one, but, not in the same league as rifles, never had a pump action, but after watching you're review I wouldn't mind one if I was fit enough to go out and use it, even looks a lovely gun visually, and easy to pump, perfect for a young guy\girl, but not to shoot action men OR, Barbie dolls haha, brilliant and informative review as always ANDY.

I like it if it's cheap. Good review Mr. Andy.

Had the Sharpe Ace back in the day. Also the Crossman

Reminds me of the Sharp Inova / Crossman 766 from the 70s & 80s.

Great video sir! I think this is the GREYHOUND LR800W .177/4.5 here in Indonesia. Very popular… slim and light weight, and depending on how many pumps you do, is quite hard-hitting and accurate. You gotta pump it with your arms almost the same height and your knuckles lightly touching, much like exercising with a chest expander… lol. 😊 Double fun with shooting and exercising!

That's a good looking rifle. A Click making safety switch is heard at far distance in the quiet woods when hunting. But some can be switched almost silently by using a finger and thumb to hold both ends of the switch while moving it. . Do you think it would be fun? Would it be good for using with the whole family?

Different but I don’t see any advantage over a reasonably priced springer. I bought a Remington for £165 and it’s a lovely gun, came with a bag, scope and silencer.

I guess for a bit of fun it is good, but I'll stick with PCP and the odd springer :) Love your reviews and the only thing I would like to see change is to see some very high-end 'dream' guns (to balance to the budget and mid range) such as Steyr, Anschutz, Walther, Fienwerkbau, etc.

pumping using both hands in a scissor motion makes pumping easy peasy

Can you pump it from the bolt back position, or do you have to close the bolt after cocking?

I have a Webley Rebel which is a multi pump rifle, yes! I agree it is a pain in the…. Arm 😊 but it is great fun 🤩 to shoot 👍🏻.

Love a pump up

Looks a nice fun gun

Lots of negative’s…..struggling to see any positives….but a good review regardless.

If it holds its air o.k. it would be fine on the maximum number of pumps for dispatching rabbits. There was no mention of a .177 being available though.

I had a sharp inova very accurate 👍

How far can you pump it up and to what power level. I assume there is a limit to 12ft/lbs for the UK and five pumps is pretty close!

Some fun, when you're a heartbeat away from a seizure.

I bought a Crosman 362, about 14 footpounds on 8 pumps, it isn't as hard to pump as that. It's okay but needs an upgraded breech to fit a scope, was only £80.

Does it have a release valve if you pump more than 5 strokes?

Would you consider doing a review of the crosman 1377 pistol as another workout.

small question, have you done/planned to do the Sumatra stinger 2500? from what i've seen its like the lever action ak of the air rifle world

Reminds me of the old sharp inova pinched my fingers to no end but great fun

Looks like Diana stormrider with an integrated pump. There is also Trailscout for those who don't want to pump neither a cartrige nor every shot.

This may be a silly question but here we go. Would this air rifle be good for a bell target starter rifle in 177 just using two pumps to get around 5 to Six foot pounds. Or would a HW 30 springer be a better option?

I used to have a silver streak by Benjamin many years ago it's a ringer

Interesting, always wondered what my left arm was for.

Interesting review, but I don't see the advantage of this pump up air rifle over a budget springer ?

Great review as always but struggling to see why anyone would buy one. Nostalgia for those who like pump guns but with break barrels, Co2, PCP etc can’t see them selling many but I’m no expert.

6 pumps - is it possible and does it stay legal? (Does it have a built in relief valve?) - Great review as always!

Nice one 👍👍👍👍

Does it come with a defibrillator?

Probably last longer with a couple of pumps left in it to keep seals intact when not in use

Finally a affordable airgun. I lost my interest on all airguns that are above 1k. Even the €€€€ BSa. We need more vids about

Think of it as a very independent hunting rifle, how many rounds do you actually let off on a long walk n stalk? You could take that all over place and always have a full power recoiless shot. Like it

Pump guns are great for kids.

Hi, is this the same rifle as the Artemis Snowpeak LR700W ? Thanks

Pr 900w with a pump looks like fun
