Good things come in small packages, and the Russian-made IZH 61 is no exception!
This repeating air rifle is so much fun to shoot, you'll definitely have a tough time putting it down. A spring-powered gun, the IZH 61 is easy to cock and can be used by adults and youngsters (with adult supervision).
The highly adjustable trigger is one of the most interesting features of this rifle. Not only can you adjust the first-stage overtravel and pull weight of the second stage, but you can also adjust the position of the trigger! Guns costing many, many times more than the IZH 61 don't have all those features.
You can add a red dot sight on the 11mm dovetails to get even more accuracy from this rifle. Speaking of accuracy...you won't outgrow the potential of this gun! The accuracy of the hammer-forged steel barrelThe tube through which projectiles travel when they are fired. It may be rifled or smooth.
is pretty close to what you'll get on a super-expensive Olympic target rifle. Yeah, it's THAT good!
Includes extra mainspring, owner's manual and a cleaning rod. Ninety-day limited repair warranty on metal parts, with 30-day repair warranty on mainspring, seals and stock.
In-stock dates are unpredictable and may change without notice due to supply, logistical or U.S. Customs issues. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Things I would have changed:Stock is a bit iffy on sturdyness when fully extended, magazine is ok but could use a design change. What others should know:Get extra magazines. And count your shots, until you get used to it a dry fire is very easy. And be sure to hold your hand over the magazine if you eject after only a shot or two, or it will fly into a black hole and vanish. And I have had great groupings with Crosman Premiers. Will not take heavies like eu Jin, they are too long for the magazine and you cannot insert it.

The feel and balance suit me just fine.

Being that these are a scarce commodity, I know that I have the only one (probably) in my entire county!
Just seeing one of these causes insane jealousy in other shooters!
I have backorder in for a month now, but managed to find possibly the last unsold Izzy 61 in the country.
I like it so much that I'm keeping my backorder on, so sooner or later, I'll have another one!
This is the spookiest little black russian gun that you can't buy! Things I would have changed:I'm liking mine just fine, thank you. Wouldn't change anything. What others should know:The trigger is to die for.....you should be so lucky to have such a trigger on ANY gun. It'll spoil you for life!

Things I liked:Good compact size, very lightweight. Hooded front sight. Accurate, groups well right out of the box during break-in. Repeater is real nice (I'm used to single shot SSP Pistols). Very light cocking effort. Forestock shape makes it easy to repeat hold. Doubles as an accurate target rifle and an all-day plinker. Supreme value

Repeater is real nice (I'm used to single shot SSP Pistols). Very light cocking effort. Forestock shape makes it easy to repeat hold. Doubles as an accurate target rifle and an all-day plinker. Supreme value for a $100 gun. My rifle was sealed from the factory with a "preservation" certificate, apparently its good in the box for 2 years as oiled from the factory. Things I would have changed:Definitely designed for smaller shooters: the pistol grip is a little small for me and I had to max out the buttstock extension. Might have to make a wood stock for it at some point. Buttstock is a little creaky on its post, nothing but a minor annoyance.
I just bought it (5/09) and it has a different trigger design than the manual shows. I've also seen the adjustments other places online and mine is definitely different. Only has one adjustment for trigger travel. Maybe new regulations??? Trigger is still decent though, not in a multi-faceted way but a nice crisp break. What others should know:Buy more magazines and test them all. Comes with 2, I got 2 more and have 2 that shoot well. I've put about 250 Crosman Premiers through the gun and it's broken in and shooting consistently. Tried Gamo Match, RWS Hobbys, and Beeman Coated Wadcutters but it liked the Crosman Premiers the best. Cleaned the barrel thoroughly and still had to shoot the remaining oil out. I oiled the mainspring with a TINY amount of 10W30 and that smoothed things out.

Things I liked:accuracy is as B.B, said, well engineered gun. the open sights are great, I tried a crosman and Daisy red dot sights but the sights are just a little too long and that makes it hard to release the clip.

If there is a solution for this please let me know. Things I would have changed:the release knob on the side lever is a little hard on the little finger when you cock the gun. A little thought before spring gets here my provide a answer. The manual could be a little better but the IZH website has more info. What others should know:Have had excellent accuracy with Crosman Premiers 7.9 Wadcutters and they stay in the clips also. the Crosman competitions work well also. The first time I shot it was from inside the house with the deck door open about 6" and two clips made one big hole in the bull at about 20 ft. Wow, shoots as good as my 2300S.

Things I would have changed:The most frustrating air gun I have ever owned. I thought the clips were a great idea, so I ordered six more from Pyramid. The idea was to load up ten clips, [with RWS Hobbys, they seem to be the most accurate, and don't fall out of the clip when fully seated] and spend a few hours plinking. Bad idea, I tried two scopes and a red dot before I realized what was wrong. Every clip is different. At 25 yards one clip would result in one ragged hole. Another would be all over the place. Out of the ten, I ended up with three clips that hit to the point of aim. I have no idea why this happens, they all look the same...be prepared. What others should know:The stock is so short, even when extended, my eye was too close to the scope. Pyramid, thankfully, stocked offset scope mounts that provided another 1 1/2 in. of eye relief. Still too short. I went to my old standby, which I've used before, a pair of black men's "flip-flops". They're rubber, cost a buck at the dollar store, and you can get about eight stock extensions from the men's large. A little contact cement, a razor blade and moto-tool and your good to go. This was all my wife needed for proper eye relief from the scope.

Things I liked:This is an engineering work of art. It is Fun!! and here's why: The stock and forearm fit the human right or left ( trigger placement is slightly better for left-hand shooting) and is like the Springfield XD when it comes up it is in sight position. The hold naturally is solid and sets up an accurate shot. Best shooter in my stable

It is Fun!! and here's why: The stock and forearm fit the human right or left ( trigger placement is slightly better for left-hand shooting) and is like the Springfield XD when it comes up it is in sight position. The hold naturally is solid and sets up an accurate shot. Best shooter in my stable. Stock can be extended by moving the nut to the second position. The sight appearance to the shooter is like the famous Moisin-Nagant's sight picture - hard to beat for open sights. There is not a lot of weaving around when in shooting position. Easy to cock and load. If left hand shooting, there is no need to change grip between magazines. Shooting at its best. Things I would have changed:It is odd to push forward to release the auto feed lever. The index finger guide could be removed or lowered in height. With one more index on the magazine with the sixth hole blocked , the pellet plunger would not close and the gun not shoot - a nifty safety feature ( for the gun). What others should know:This was worth the six month wait. I am losing sight in right eye so changing to left hand shooting. This design made the transition easy. Be careful, with three holes showing in the magazine, you could pull the
trigger on no pellet.

I just received mine from Pyramyd last week and have only had a chance to shoot it a little bit. But my first impressions are; solid contruction, very nice adjustable trigger, fairly accurate right out of the box. The design of the gun is unique and nicely detailed especially considering the price. It comes with a spare mainspring, an extra magazine, and a cleaning rod. The box it came in is printed in Russian and there is an official document inside that says the gun "complies with the criminalistical requirements of the Internal Affairs Ministry of Russia"! Guess it had to pass the KGB smell test first. No doubt we couldn't get our hands on one of these when Reagan was in office. Things I would have changed:I wish the adjustable stock had a little more rearward travel. The rifle is a bit too short for me. It does not have a safety and the trigger can be adjusted for a light pull not a good combination. The owner's manual could be a lot better especially regarding how to install and release the magazine. The rear sight is crude although adjustable. I wish it had thumbwheels for windage and elevation. Increase the price by $10 and add the safety and a decent rear sight. What others should know:Pellets fit somewhat loosely in the magazine make sure none fall out when inserting the magazine. The lack of a safety means not good for kids. Which is OK because adults won't be able to put it down. This is an astonishing value in an airgun.

What others should know:I removed my rear sight, and fitted in the Dovetail a beeman sport aperture sight. http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/accessory.pl?accessory_id=717 and I have problems now once stock length is adjusted for me and the gun is sighted in of placing 10 shots (freehand) into a target within a quarter sized pattern at 110 feet.
Nice air gun. Just needs a better rear sight.

Things I would have changed:I wish it had some of the Tru-Glo sights, and wish it did not make such a loud noise when fired, but overall a great, fun rifle for the money and well worth it! Would also like to see a laser attachment available to match the futuristic look of this piece, I added one to mine and simply love it! What others should know:Be careful if using the lightest trigger setting, doesn't take much pressure at all. (Found this out after putting a few tiny holes through the plaster walls downstairs!)

I promise you, you will not believe how accurate this rifle is. Bulls eye after Bull's eye. The rifle fires very smooth and quiet. Want to shoot out your window and be quiet and have loads of fun? What to really practice your shooting skills? Want to just have a blast? Want a rifle that you will be proud to have in your arsenal? Want a gun that is quoted as having the accuracy of an Olympic 10 meter match rifle costing $2000.00 or more. Then this little rifle is for you. A must have gun for less than $100.00. Things I would have changed:The manual for this gun is basically the weakest link of the rifle. The gun does not have a safety. Otherwise it would be perfect for young shooters as well as adults. What others should know:Do not let the price of this gun fool you. It really is a great quality rifle and really does have tremendous accuracy. The stock is a little short for a long armed guy like myself, but I bought a limbsaver recoil pad and it feels perfect in my shoulder. Remember that after 5 shoots have been fired, their will be three empty slots showing on the clip. (Three holes you are out!) Be careful, because everyone has told me that after buying this gun, you will be drooling for the Izh 46 match pistol. Good Shooting!
PS- Clean the barrel when you first receive the gun, it has a lot of oil and will deisel. When you place your order, order extra clips. You can fire pellets very quickly with this rifle. The cocking is a piece of cake.

Things I liked:The IZH 61 is compact and light. It's very accurate. It's a five shot so you aren't constantly loading single pellets. It has adequate power for plinking and general target practice; maybe even small pest control. It's a side lever and doesn't take a lot of effort to cock. Things I would have changed:The manufacturer

Things I would have changed:The manufacturer should provide a good manual. It's always nice to know crtiical information on how your new airgun works and the type of ammo that works best in it. I would suggest anyone buying this, or any other air gun from Pyramyd, to read Pyramyd's suggestions for ammo for each gun.

... Read MoreThings I liked:Where do I start? This gun is incredibly accurate. One hole groups sitting and standing from 20 feet are commonplace including one 10 shot group within .4 CTC with iron sights. I don't see what the big deal is with the looks. It looks to me like a combination of sniper rifle, assault rifle, and target rifle and a bit of a space gun with the best of each. Why not? It looks cool. The stock is also very ergonomic and lines up the sights very naturally. The whole thing radiates solidity and quality, and the price is amazing. The low power makes it perfect for indoor apartment shooting which you could not do at higher power. Things I would have changed:Stock is a little short at full extension although perhaps that's because I'm 6'2". But the stock is rock steady when extended. The scope rail is a little short but it fits a red dot scope easily enough as well as the Leapers Bug Buster that I plan on getting. A more detailed manual with maintenance instructions would be nice. So would a safety. What others should know:This gun, like most springers, needs the artillery hold which basically is a loose hold with the foreend supported on the flat of the hand. For more interesting details see the Pyramidair blog. Crosman Premier Lights work very well with this gun and seat properly in the clip--much more than Gamo Match. But perhaps there is an even better pellet out there. Fantastic deal and great gun. If it was better in the all metal configuration, I don't need to know.

Things I liked:The looks are very original. Accuracy is superb, I can easily hit a 12 gram co2 cartridge at 35 ft with open sights! It is extremely easily to cock (around ten pounds of force) and shoot (one pound trigger). The trigger is very good, you can fully adjust it to how you like it (I left mine how it was when I first got it though)

It is extremely easily to cock (around ten pounds of force) and shoot (one pound trigger). The trigger is very good, you can fully adjust it to how you like it (I left mine how it was when I first got it though). It is one of the lightest air rifles out there! You can also add a scope if you wish to! The barrel is indeed one of the best you can find out there, it is hammer-forged and rifled (and the Russians do know something about barrels). It is built to last, nothing on mine has broken since I have bought it (it's been around a year since I bought it). I still cannot emphasize on how accurate it is, I'm in my schools rifle team and we use the Daisy Avanti air rifle but if I could (or had a choice), I would instantly chose the IZH-61 over the Avanti anyday (yeah, its that good!!). This rifle is very customizable from the barrel to the sights to the length of the stock! My friend hit a quarter at 26 feet the FIRST time he shot this rifle. Again accuracy is by far the best thing about this rifle Things I would have changed:I would change all the plastic this rifle has (the stock, body, grip is made up of plastic) and change it for wood. The stock isn't the most comfortable out there and it is a little wobbly when fully extended. It is very tedious to maintain (oil, cleaning, etc). One major thing that I would change is to make the whole rifle left-handed (I'am left-handed). Also the magazine is very easy to lose especially when you eject it (it goes flying if you don't catch it) and you tend to get jams when you are not using match pellets, and the pellets do tend to fall out when you load it. The last thing is that I would increase the velocity to around 600 fps (mine is at 478 fps average with Crosman Premier) so it is more versatile. What others should know:Clean the barrel with the barrel rod it comes with the first time you get it. DO NOT use any other type of cleaning rod since the barrel is hammer-forged and you risk damaging the rifling that it has. Try to use only Premier Match pellets because those fit perfectly with the magazine and you will not have any jams if you do. They also seat better in the magazine, plus that is what the rifle was made for [accuracy], so feed it its favorite pellet and you'll hit the bulls eye everytime. Clean it every three months and don't forget to oil it!
