What is one airgun that you bought that you always wanted only to be let down with it?
N/A Let down

Benjamin Maximus. Bought mainly to put a cool Boyd’s stock on it. Gun wasn’t worth the butt pad in one of those stocks. Lol. Dar Gen 2. Waaay worse than even that Maximus. At least the Maximus worked. Wasn’t all that accurate and felt like a tinker toy but it did work. The dar, not so much.

Hatsan Jet. The only gun I ever bought new and returned.
Replaced it with the NOTOS which IMO is 100% better.

An Aselkon MX9 . Looked great , but I couldn’t get comfortable with it. It wasn’t what I would call a high quality product. Way behind in quality even compared to a low end AT44 Hatsan.

Dianna 48 .177
was great at 10 yards, one pellet hole accuracy but the farther you got from the target the more it spread the groups. Way too much power for .177 and like carrying a boat anchor it was so heavy. It ate a couple scopes too!

Hatsan NovaStar in .22.
It was a nightmare to make it semi-acurate. Hatsan has a really low quality Standart.
Its a shame, it was a good looking PCP.

I've said it before, and I'll get flamed for saying.....drum roll please.....Taipan Veteran Long in 22. Yep, that's the gun that I couldn't wait to get rid of. Several factors contributed to it.
First, even with the Cz barrel, I or it didn't shoot well. I actually thought it might be me and bullpups, but two Impacts and a Wildcat blew that theory big time.
Second, it was heavy to lug around. Even a M3 Sniper is much nicer.
Third, the trigger needed work to live up to it's reputation. I'm sure I could have tuned it but didn't see the point since I wasn't getting along withe gun at all on several levels.
That rifle sat on my bench fot three weeks solid and I shot it every day with a boatload of ammo and just didn't like it. I finally decided I was glad to experience one, but couldn't wait to get rid of it. Sorry guys, the Vet is not my cup oh tea. They're cool, but I also had a Cricket which was fantastic, so a lot more bullpups for me than a Vet. Never tried any AGTs but I'd at least like to shoot one. By the way, what do I keep? A Wildcat mk3 22..

Crosman Magfire Extreme
Inaccurate and wildly off in velocity
Crosman tried to fix it, sent it back, still bad.
Tried to return it, had to pay shipping to return their faulty product.
Bought my first PCP.

Before semi was a thing i wanted a1077 to mod. Leaked. Reseal it, leaked. Rebuilt it, leaked. Now it just sits in a crate. There are way better options now.

i went thru 4 Notos back when the fad started. problems in areas that were corrected by a member here that
fully customized the 4rd gun and it was a powerful shooter. i think the only thing that was original was the
actions frame. internals and externals were replaced by his custom made parts. probably sank dam near 4x the cost of it on the custom build.
that was about 2+ years ago and my youngest grandson still hunts with it on the farm.
the 1st notos was replaced in warranty and then the 2nd also replaced. the 3rd one was complete junk and i gave it away for parts.
