Umarex Notos old news

[airgunmike56]

I have given a few of these away to family and friends, But the one I am playing with , The big plus is the light weight, Installed a 25 cc plumin a FX 380 barrel and the trigger kit, No bottle yet, Ha, I took the red dot and the swampfox off to test the accuracy of the FX barrel, Still trying to keep it light I installed a Arkin EPL-4 FFP 6x25-50 scope.Its still a fun light weight gun but not impressed with the FX barrel, May try and polish the barrel and do a lap of the end of the barrel to get rid of the sharp edge, Might help, may not we will see,,, LOL we know why the Notos is called a money pit, No matter what you spend on it its still a 300 dollar gun, A 300 dollar fun gun, Its a pellet gun unsure of the FXbarrel but my range is 50 yards , So no matter what pellets will be the king in accuracy at that range , I am shooting the 18gr pellet's at about 800 fps and the 15 gr a little faster.
Unless you are just playing around and want to tinker with a gun its a good deal for a new guy, But for the same money you can buy a used Veteran, Vulcan, Uragan, Cricket.
That will make this built up Notos look like red Ryder BB gun..

Thank you Mike. Nothing wrong with tinkering and customizing. This is what many enjoy.

But for me personally, tight on time and careful on my budget, you articulated why I have not modded my Notos. What is sobering is seeing FS postings on highly modded Notos and the significant loss of $. For those with plenty of time and/or $, and find this enjoyable, I'm sure it is a worthwhile endeavor.

And yes, I've been impressed by many of the Notos full-on customization projects.

Mine has been the exact OPPOSITE of a money pit!
$240 as I recall.
It has been a great shooter right out of the box.
After many months of ownership, its my favorite grab and go tool.

Mine is a dedicated ratter and it's absolutely perfect for that job! It's also a fun plinker at shorter distances.
