Turkish. Hatsan built them for Walther, Same rifle as the Hatsan 125. I had one in .22. Mine was about a 24fpe rifle with JSB 18.13's.

And the Parrus is a Walther built by Umarex, right?
One place must be cheaper than the other to mfg?

Accuracy and fit and finish. Noticed the blueing and not so smooth finish looks like my Walther Falcon Hunter.

Why they decided to get Hatsan to build some for them I have no clue but a pic of my Turk built version. If he still has it, I gave mine to a good friend from Minnesota.
I'd have to guess Turkey and Hatsan, since they make guns for any number of companies, is cheaper to build than Germany. Not a clue when that switch happened though.

So, is Germany typically a better mfg'ing country than Turkey in most air guns? Or just a Hatsan failure?

My German Walther LGV Competition Ultras' finish are smoother than my Turkish Walther Falcon Hunter. It also takes a certain touch to shoot them accurately whereas the German made versions are easier to shoot.

I dunno, the Gamo swarm gen2 magnum .22 takes more effort to cock, is rougher on my body, and ~30fpe at the muzzle.
Thanks for the info! I'm not familiar with these and they're both new to me. I think I'll keep the Parrus, and sell the Talon after I've shot it a bit more.

Keep the guns that give you the smallest groups that you feel are the easiest to consistently shoot accurately in your hands. You really don't need power if you don't plan on killing anything besides paper targets.

Yup, I've been doing a bit of "horse-trading" lately and have a couple to trade/sell off.
I DO wish sometimes I can take features/feel/joy/etc from each gun and POOF, new gun that's all me.

Just “The facts, not fluff” huh? Worst gun (Gamo) I ever bought was after watching one of these videos.

I hope I never become that reviewer. I don't mind being a "fan boy", but to just say the same ol' things about every single gun and none ever have issues... well, makes me suspect.
I don't know if a person can fairly judge anything they haven't used for a while.

When you get paid to be a reviewer, the people paying you like very much when you say nice things about their product and likely don't keep you around long if you're actually brutally honest about whatever you're reviewing that day...lol.

In the long run, that seems to hurt everyone. The reviewer, the buyer, AND the mfg/sellers.
I get wanting free stuff, and I get not wanting to offend a supporter, but one can be honest and diplomatically point out flaws.
Eh, preachin' to the choir I'm sure. /exit soapbox.

Exactly. I tend to avoid any reviewer who sugarcoats and never ever seems to find a single bad thing, even a minor one, about a gun. Don't care what brand or model you're looking at, somewhere there's something that could have been a hair better or a bit better made.
LIke you said, it can be done diplomatically aka nicely and well let's face it, with all the forums out there, if there's something bad, aigunners are gonna go on a forum or 3 and talk all about it
