Tuning Umarex Notos has arrived.
- Thread starter pnwairgunner
- Start date
The cheaper mini carbines can be “hit or miss”. Whereas the BRKs, Atomic, Pathfinder and Ranger XRs are super solid, long term performers, right out the box.

I havent read about any “ misses “ with the Notos.
Solid performance straight out of the box

efem09 and Ichibahn, need more information! Everything I have heard is good, you are the first to find fault with the Notos. Please point out the problems you are hearing about. What is "breaking apart"?

I’m not defending Chinese made products. Im pretty sure the Notos originates there but perhaps in this case the PRC churns out a quality product.
I remember when “we “ avoided Japanese products as being inferior-until they weren’t anymore.

It can compete in the same ring as some A brands at a 1/3 the cost if not less.
Why the need to poop in everyone’s cheerios ?

It's because of arrogance and narcissism. This is the trumpet they will play for all to hear:
"Buy once, cry once!"
Reality is that most of us have little money to spend on a hobby that will eat up all your savings if allowed to.
I saved for three years, made a budget, put a little at a time in savings, sold and will continue to sell items off to afford an A tier gun.
I say, buy what you can afford, learn about it and enjoy all you can from shooting it. And when your ready, make a reasonable plan to buy a tier B gun and repeat.

Ordered mine March 23rd from Utah, thought they were in stock. Nope so waiting patiently. I also ordered Commander NV100 Plus 3-12X56 Day & Night Vision Rifle Scope that can go on notos and my Lonestar

Whatever dude. This is a Notos thread.
Seems it bothers you that so many people love their Notos’.
This cheap carbine most certainly competes with other carbines of “ higher “ brand name
You have a problem with that and it bothers you.
Start a thread of your own if so threatened….. I mean prove your work ….
The notos sucks because
A . It’s lightweight and short
B. It’s regulated
C. It’s very accurate inside it’s operating range
D. It’s suppressed and quite quiet
E. It has left side lever
F. It can be had for 250 to 270 shipped
Yes it’s trigger needs a little work. So easy to do
You just hate it because of where it’s made and that’s your right.

We aren't having a competition though?
Just people having a discussion about the Notos
Country of origin is of no concern in my mind; if it does what the person wants: thats what we are looking for.

I guess I gotta come on here and throw my hat in.
When the notos gets back in stock, I plan on getting one. Someone I know keeps telling me how awesome it is and refuses to let me go on with my life without one.
As for top tier guns? I'd run one of my tuned Krals against a brocock or FX any day of the week in a 75 yard shoot out. Frankie literally puts hades on top of each other at 40 all damn day. Guess what? I'm under $500 into that gun and thats with modifications and buying parts. It out shoots my BSA scorpion!
If what I'm reading and hearing about the notos is true, then I'm a fool for not having one already. It checks plenty of boxes for many shooters, and would definitely fill a niche for me.

The Notos is not the perfect gun, its not going to win competitions or do hole in hole groups at 50y, it will, however, keeeeeel at 20-30y, it will hit spinners and knockdowns at fun distances.
More so, it's just fun!
