    Umarex NOTOS accuracy issues.

    For what I am doing I am super satisfied with the scope I have.

    Umarex NOTOS accuracy issues.

    So I noticed something else. I had it sited in and shooting good. I went out last evening and shot a few pellets and the accuracy was falling off again, not as bad though. After about the third shot I felt something on my finger at the trigger. Looked down and the allen screw (which I think...

    Umarex NOTOS accuracy issues.

    So it looks like cleaning the barrel was what I needed. I got the patchworm kit and ran a couple pre soaked patches through and then several dry patches. Dry fired it a few times to blow some air through and it started grouping like normal again. I had a tin of Crossman Premier pellets and...

    Umarex NOTOS accuracy issues.

    Zero mods (other than scope) and use the single pellet loader, not the magazine.

    I ordered one of the patchworm kits. Hopefully they ship fairly quickly.

    Umarex NOTOS accuracy issues.

    I see a little variation left to right but definitely more high and low. I'll check some other pellets. But I am halfway through my second tin of them when this started so don't feel like that is the case. But who knows at this point. Being new to airguns, what is the most preferred method...

    Umarex NOTOS accuracy issues.

    Last summer I bought a Notos (first every PCP airgun). I had zero issues with it and use it only for sparrow control at my house. The place I shoot from is exactly 33 yards and I have had it zero'd at that distance. I notice last week I was missing, which has never been an issue. I thought...

    Umarex Notos air gauge accuracy.

    Not needing a way to charge the gun, was more wandering about the accuracy of the gauge.

    Umarex Notos air gauge accuracy.

    This Umarex is my first and only PCP. I bought it specifically for pesting around my purple martin colony which it has done a fine job. I've had it just under a year and this was the only time I had to fill the tank so far. I spent a lot of shots last year zeroing, and having take the scope...

    Umarex Notos air gauge accuracy.

    Just curious if the stock pressure gauges on these guns are typically accurate or ever known to have problems? Only reason I ask is I went yesterday and had my SCUBA tank filled at my local fire department. I was standing right there and they got the tank to exactly 3000 PSI, with their...

    Notos with Scuba Tank

    So after several months of use the SCUBA tank is working out fine for me. I don't have a count on the number of shots I have fired but it is in the hundreds. The SCUBA tank is dropped to around 2200 PSI according to the gauge so my only issue is now when I fill the gun I am only getting about...

    Umarex Notos Issue - POI Drop Off

    I use a scuba tank to fill my Notos so I don't get a full charge but I can get 18-20 shots before I see a drop off.

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    I am fairly new to airguns but have been shooting and hunting with slug guns and rifles for a long time. I have had a few accurate rifles go crazy after several years and every time it has happened it has been the scope. The times I have skimped and bought a cheaper option, are the ones that...

    Umarex Notos over 100 yards

    I got the 3-9. I did have to buy some risers to get it to sit up comfortably for me.
