Well, this one has been on my "gotta get it someday" list for awhile, but since I'm still lacking my PAL...
I had to wait for the wonderful Mr. Marvin to get in detuned ones to finally get my hands on it.
First off, this is one nice looking rifle!! As you may have read before, it is an excellent reproduction by Umarex (Made In Germany) of the real thing. Real wood, and steel make up the important parts of this rifle, and it just "feels" good in my hands...
The lever action is smooth and fun to use, and works to "cock" the trigger, and move the standard 8 slot Umarex metal clip to the next position.
The mags load by pressing down on the fake bullet loading port; which releases a rocker arm, on which you place the mag, then push it back into position.
This process is easy and fast to do, and extra mags are strongly recommended!
The Dual Co2 powerlet system is in the Butt Plate, which opens easily by pulling down on a lever set flush into it.
One removed, it is a simple system which involves unscrewing the threaded rod which holds the 2 12gm Co2 powerlets in place, replacing them, and then screwing it back down again.
Because the powerlets are linked together, they go into the one intake valve inside the wooden stock, and can be removed and reinserted with a very minimal loss of gas.
So...how does it shoot - "sweet" is the word for it...
The trigger is one of the best on any Umarex gun I have tried yet, the accuracy is as excellent as you might imagine with a nice 19.1" rifled barrel, and as mentioned, the lever action is fluid and fast. As it is detuned, it is probably getting around 490ish fps out of the box (but using a nice tuning tip from alstone, mine is getting a little bit more than that...
).
Highly recommended for the those into "replicants", and for anyone who wants to just have fun shooting a rifle!!
My five mags are getting used up very fast - and I might just be shooting my new Walther Lever Action for the rest of the night...
