Tuning Umarex Notos has arrived.

i went & picked up my Notos yesterday , purchased from Utah airguns, had to have it shipped to a gun dealer(friggin Illinois laws), anyway it was a 60 mile round trip..got home late ,& now today it is 11 degrees out, so other than cleaning it , i will not try it till monday when it warms up, if it is acurate like the ones i have saw in vids i have watched , i will love this A/G it is light wt,( one of the reasons i have been a fan of the P Rods for yrs i have 5 of them).. looks like i will be ordering 2 x the Carm 12 shot mags..

Cut that stupid bag rider thing off the Notos, MUCH better feel with no wrist interference. SO much better!

I was that post on GTA as well, what's the issue with yours? Mine is rock solid, no rail movement at all.
yes i have been following yor post over there, i just replied.....i did not mount anything yet , just cleaned it yesterday, & noticed the plastic that the rail is on will move, i am going to mount lightweight discovery ffp sf 4x16x44 that i have laying around, it weighs just over 19 oz's.

My first post! I am new to the airgun world and after doing a lot of research for my first gun purchase, the Notos seemed to offer everything I was looking for: PCP, good price and power, reasonably quiet, hand-pumpable (I hope), and not too intimidating. Then I found this thread, and wow, you guys sure are a knowledgeable and helpful group! I truly joined these forums just based on what I saw in the 20+ pages of this thread. As a rookie, I don't expect to be doing much more than learning the basics for a good while, but I know where to turn when I have questions. The Notos is on backorder everywhere, but I went ahead and pre-ordered one at one of the popular places, and thanks to a coupon code, I got it for less than $250 tax and all. Seems like a real bargain. The "expected" in-stock date is late April, but we all know how that can sometimes go. Plenty of time to research pumps and scopes. My plan is to learn to do some target shooting and eventually I hope to dispatch some annoyingly destructive squirrels in my yard. My neighbor hates the rabbits that eat his garden so maybe that will be an option too :). I'm really not much of a hunter, but I have always appreciated the precision of guns and people who can shoot them well. Hope to become one. Sorry for the long-winded first post but I just wanted to say hello, and thanks for the help you have already given me.

Welcome to the wonderful of shooting. Watch out for the rabbit holes, they are numerous and deep!

Might want to check your state hunting regulation before eliminating your neighbors rabbits, there is a season most places and you need a license even then.
Thanks for the tip. I checked, and in my state, taking rabbits requires a nuisance wild animal permit. It's free and you can take on other property with the owner's permission. Lots of animals require no permit at all (squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, foxes, beavers, muskrats, and mink), but rabbits need a permit. Interesting.
 
My Notos mag gave up the ghost this afternoon. The mag plastic cover split in two places when I was rotating it to start a new load. Wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary but the mag split right where the little pin goes through by the screw.
:o


I have one of the ebay 8 shot mags on the way (should be here next couple days) but in the meantime the single shot tray is back in. Don't mind shooting single shot, pretty used to it with my Airforce Escape UL.
