desertcart.com : Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP Pellet Air Rifle | 30rd RPM .22LR Caliber Semi-Automatic Pre-Charged Pneumatic Rifle for Target Shooting Training : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Outstanding PCP Air Rifle That Delivers Performance, Realism, and Pure Fun - The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP pellet air rifle is genuinely impressive and easily one of the best air rifles I’ve used in this category. From the moment you pick it up, it feels like a premium piece of equipment rather than a toy or basic trainer. Everything about it, from the design to the performance, shows that Sig Sauer put serious thought into this rifle. Build quality is excellent. The rifle feels solid, well balanced, and very close to the real MCX Virtus in look and handling. Controls are intuitive, the materials feel durable, and nothing rattles or feels cheaply assembled. It has that realistic weight and layout that makes it great not just for target shooting, but also for training and familiarity without the cost or logistics of live ammo. Performance is where this rifle really shines. The semi-automatic action paired with the 30-round RPM magazine makes shooting smooth, fast, and incredibly enjoyable. There’s no constant breaking of barrels or cycling bolts between shots. You can focus on your shooting, your stance, and your target, which makes it perfect for extended practice sessions. Accuracy is very good for a .22 PCP air rifle, and it consistently delivers tight, predictable results at typical air rifle distances. The PCP system works extremely well. Once charged, it provides consistent power and reliable cycling. Shot-to-shot consistency is solid, which builds confidence and makes the rifle feel refined rather than finicky. It’s clearly designed to be used repeatedly without frustration, and it performs exactly as you expect it to. This rifle is also fantastic for training purposes. The realistic ergonomics, magazine-fed semi-auto operation, and overall handling make it an excellent option for skill development. Whether you’re practicing trigger control, sight alignment, or just getting more comfortable with a rifle platform, it translates well without the noise and recoil of a firearm. On top of all that, it’s just fun to shoot. The combination of realism, smooth operation, and solid accuracy makes it hard to put down once you start. It’s one of those items that exceeds expectations and keeps you coming back for “just one more magazine.” Overall, this is a standout PCP air rifle that delivers on every front. Excellent build quality, great performance, realistic operation, and a ton of enjoyment. If you’re looking for a high-quality semi-automatic air rifle for target shooting or training, this is an easy five-star product. Truly a great item.
Review: Awesome air rifle, can be modded for increased performance... - One year update: I've shorten around 2000 pellets through the rifle with the upgraded 1800psi regulator, no major issues. The mag belts do start to loosen up which allow pellets to fall out and cause jams. The belts are cheap to replace. I did a real cool dawn dish soap camo paint job, I wish desertcart would allow me to post the picture but they keep flagging the photo. I think all the earlier reviews were the 1st model, newer ones seem to be much better. Original review: So far I have a couple hundred rounds through mine without any issue. Chronograph shows quite consistent readings of ~600fps with 14.3g Crossman Pellets. Trigger is alright, accuracy is pretty decent at around 2" groups at 20 yards (I am sure I can improve). So far I am happy. 3 month Update: the rifle continues to run great. I have a couple thousand Pellets through it. Only issue I've seen is some of the belts have lose pockets and the Pellets will fall out of the mag. I think this also causes some fliers when shooting. I have added a 1800psi regulator (my tank was 5/8x18 thread) to the tank, it was cheaper (around $35) to buy a new regulator apposed to buying new shims and washers. The 1800psi yielded about a 130fps increase as I am seeing about 730fps with 14.5g Pellets. I have since started using JTS 15.3g Hades and Exact, these group better than the Crossman Pellets. I have a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 LPVO mounted up, there is slight wiggle in the rail of the receiver. I am going to try to rectify. Note, I have taken this rifle completely apart to clean and lube and highly recommend against it. There are about 25 levers, springs, and linkage pieces inside that make reassembly very hard. Best option is to find a cleaning rod and swab from muzzle to receiver.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you still have to push the trigger foward after every shot?**
A: No

**Q: How to change co2 to pneumatic air**
A: This IS pneumatic air (PCP) and not CO2 out the box.

**Q: Just saw a good sized hawk land in my backyard that could take my little dogs - is this air rifle strong enough to scare off the hawk?**
A: To scare a hawk you want a loud gun. Most of the sound from the really loud pellet guns comes from the supersonic pop. That requires something like 900+ fps… this is only 700 fps.

Find a pellet gun where lots of people complain about how loud it is. That’s what you need.

**Q: Is this the updated version**
A: yes

### ⭐ Sig has put their name on a complete piece of junk.
*by T***N on August 9, 2020*

the idea is sound and I actually really like the belt fed magazine with 30 rounds of .22 caliber pellets. The problem with this rifle lies in the cheap parts used. For the most part the internals are metal, horrible pot metal, but metal. The exception being one integral piece that is plastic. Either this piece was intentionally made of plastic to ensure the gun would fail after a few uses or the company designing it wanted to save .00001 cents by making this piece plastic and not metal. I am willing to bet this was intentionally made to ensure the gun would fail irreparably after a few uses and require the customer to pay for repair or buy a new gun altogether. I am so sick of this form of manipulative manufacturing malfeasance. I have included pics of the piece I am talking about and how it cracked in half leaving the gun an unusable paper weight. The pic with the yellow circle drawn around the upper part of the broken plastic piece the other pic is the bottom part of the plastic piece and the metal piece it houses. How did this piece break? Well eventually after so many rounds fired the pressure from the high pressure tank will stress the plastic and crack it. This will start to become apparent by the trigger becoming stiffer. Soon after the piece will fully snap and when u remove the magazine it will pop out. Congratulations you wasted almost 400 bucks. Should you try to fire it once this piece is broken be warned it will fire the metal part it connected to down out the magazine housing at your body. So that is not only designed to fail but also fail in a potentionally dangerous fashion. Sig Sauer should hold their heads down in shame for producing this.
