Saw that on Facebook. Definitely a game changer! I hope other companies follow suite?!

RWS made one about 10 years ago, model 300. It wasn't very powerful and you had to watch shot count real close or you would dry fire it. All around it was a good rifle though. It had a 7 or 10 round magazine.

This one's a ten rounder. Nice. I'll have to watch the video again to see if he says what the velocity was? I don't think he did?

Thats cool, I have a new Gamo .22 fusion. It shoots good, but gamo's QC is lacking. The stock around the pivot point has sharp edges that will cut when cocking. Been wanting a .177 rifle. Just not for sure which one yet.

I have a BSA Goldstar that has a ten shot magazine. I had a gas ram put in it and took out a few squirrels with it in the good old days. It was hard to keep track of the shots and I dry fired it a few times. Bill

I wonder if it's hard to see through the scope with that part the holds the mag being in the way. It looks like it covers half the objective lens.

That is not good news, some Mendoza models carry that sistem of 7 pellets for 20 years ago.

And don't forget this one:

Definately not a new concept but still, I did wonder why more air gun companies didn't offer repeating springers to make them suck slightly less.
Perhaps there is an argument that the cocking effort / time it takes for a powerful springer all but eliminates the possibility of quick follow up shots. with a lower power one like in this video though, it looked possible. They could use a better cocking lever though. It really shouldn't be the barrel. The barrel shouldn't move on a decent air gun.
I think it is a symptom of a larger problem which is too many air guns and scopes being made in countries that don't have a good population of shooters to tell them why their products suck. Shooting just isn't a big thing in China and Japan etc.
if more stuff was made here, we would be telling them that most of us want the same things: accurate, quiet, consistent repeating air guns that are built like guns (not toys) with quality materials, low cocking effort, power appropriate for the caliber (e.g. 30fpe in 22, 50fpe in 25), light triggers with no unnecessary travel, weaver rails that don't move so there is zero poi shift (no dovetails ever), rails for a bipod on most rifles, lightweight hunting rifles, steady properly weighted target guns etc.

It's so close to the lens, it probably offers no interference at all unless it is in fact at the level of the center of the scope but looks to me like it's enough below the center to not cause interference.
