Umarex Notos Carbine .22 Caliber PCP Pellet Gun Air Rifle

As a whole, it's 4 stars. The magazine or maybe the pin probe, sucks. It's garbage really, but read on fellow PCP fanatics. The gun is awesome, quiet, accurate and light. Why they don't address the mag/pellet probe issue bewilders me. But buy a mag from Maple Customs or Carm and it's fantastic, especially for the price, hence the 5 star review. I have pellet guns from $50 to $2200 (FX Impact) and can honestly say, no, this is not on par, or even close to $2200 gun. But for sub $250 it's fantastic. 21 full power shots 737fps w 15.89 JSB's makes 19fpe right out of the box. That's w the hammer spring all the way out. Read as...It's got more on tap! As for sound, it's the same as my stock Marauder pistol...except more powerful (P-rod shooting 626fps w 15.89s so 13.83fpe) The sound of the ping of metal spinners to your ear...well there's no doubt the Notos is smacking much harder. I bought this gun to prove to a fellow airgunner (Zak) that this gun will not compare to my P-rod...well now I gotta tell him he was freakin right...ugh. LOL The target pic, upper right, Notos w 15.89FX pellets, lower right, P-rod, same pellets. P-rod has a 3-9 scope, Notos had a red dot... Deck was stacked for P-rod to win, but that Notos is a damn close second. I'll update this review when I add a scope to Notos, but I expect it to win, being it almost tied w a red dot. Now the Marauder pistol feels better, quality wise, better trigger, can add a Donny FL Tanto easily (I did) and it's half as loud, THE MAG IS FLAWLESS, but... The Notos is more powerful, and half the money. And this thing is just as accurate...so yeah...Zak was right and he'll probably see this... BTW, get some of those bottle cap targets, the ones that allow you to fill a soda bottle to 100psi, but beware, they are shotgun loud, not backyard friendly AT ALL! But fun!

Impressive! I come from a history of powder burners and springers. This gun is exactly what I needed! Quiet, accurate, well built, light, and comfortable. It is so quiet when I shot it the first time I did not believe it had fired a pellet. You can distinctly hear the Diablo pellets whacking the target and not much else. Zero recoil. Refills with my vevor compressor in under 10 minutes. I will need to upgrade my 4x32 scope for stretching my shots out to 100 yds. Completely satisfied.

A tack driver with the right pellets. Nice look, fit and finish, lightweight and very accurate. Probably the best out there for the price range. I look for prices to skyrocket on the Notos. Its better than the price you pay for it. Many accessories are available for it as well on e-bay and other PCP supplier sights. I highly recommend it. Make sure you load the magazine correctly, watch you tube, or you will quickly destroy the barrel and injection system. Use high quality, high quality rated pellets in the correct weight and you will be overly impressed at the 1" groups.

Not enough stars. Awesome little rifle (gun). Not perfect. With little TLC on my own, I have made this rifle perfect for me. I'm sure who ever buys it, can and will do the same. I enjoy it a lot and use it for target shooting and some pest control. It is not picky about type of pallets it uses. very accurate. Plenty of power out of box, with a lot of options for upgrades.

This is an amazing airgun with an absolutely garbage magazine. They put all this effort into making a truely remarkable weapon and then cheap out on magazine. It is pretty but not functional. I got a custom magazine from maple products and it is WONDERFUL.

Started out great. Had a lot of fun with it. Unfortunately, after 2 months, it appears this was defective. It started to shoot wildly. I found out he shroud/moderator was catching my pellets. After less than 100 pellets it started to sound like a maraca. Then I shook it after taking it down to clean an obstruction and all my pellets and the internals fell out of the end. Called Umarex support and also started a case online. Update: Foundsome info on clearing the baffles. New photo of how many pellets were in it.
