Stoeger Arms X20S2 Reviews

Feels like a real gun. Well constructed!

Make it a consistent shooter! Tried Several different pellets, didn't matter. It won't shoot straight.

I asked one of NC's Finest to see if he could zero in the scope. He carried to 2 different gun shops, and both put it on a bench setup,and says it's the gun!

This rifle weighs the same as my deer rifle and I do appreciate the heft and feel of this gun. Also, it's very accurate..after the break in period, I hit a Cambell's soup can at 41 yrs. very consistently.

I would like a camo stock but. the black(kind of gray) Works well.

The trigger pull is weird. 2nd stage distance on the trigger is long. Turning the adjustment screw in all the way helps..I use it like a set trigger pulling it half way then breath, exhale shoot. That works well for me.

Hard hitting and accurate. Great for liter bottle and blast cap fun. Nice appearance. Ok scope included.

I upgraded the scope but the one you get with it is better than your typical bundled scope.

Nice air gun. Kids will be challenged to cock it.

This rifle is a great value for the money. Very nice comfortable feel. No barrel droop. Good looking. Good power & working suppressor.

Had to debur & smooth sharp edges of the stock.

Definitely quiet enough not to disturb neighbors... Very smooth action, almost no recoil.

This air rifle definitely falls into the "pretty cool" (4-star) category. I shoot in my 30 ft basement range at home. So long-range accuracy isn't really much of a issue when buying air guns. But this rifle, with its design and built-in "compensator" sure looks cool. It shoots well too--I've had no malfunctions. It's also nice to have a scope included that designed for the rifle.

For the price, I wouldn't expect Stoeger to change anything. I've read other reviews complaining about certain aspects of the rifle, but I'm sure you'd pay more for improvements to the trigger, scope, etc.

Though this is labeled as "suppressed," don't expect it to be silent. This isn't a James Bond film prop!

Nice air rifle, easy to get sighted in.

good rifle for the money .

the scope is junk . tried for two day to set the scope . I got discussed bought a Simmons 4 x 32 now the rifle is dead on at 35 yards . my garden will be safe from all those pests that attack it every year !!

good rifle scope is garbage .

Inexpensive air rifle but don't expect to be impressed by its accuracy. Set it up on a bench rest to get the scope sighted in properly. 4 of us tried our best to get the rifle to settle in on target. We could barely keep the pellets inside a pie plate. There were no "groups". Impact shots were randomly spread all over the target. We shot an older air rifle for comparison. I think it was a Beeman. It grouped well and at 25 yards kept target strikes inside a quarter, and. It wasn't much louder. We shot the exact same .22 pellets that were shipped with the Stoeger. The trigger was terrible. Extremely long travel. We tried adjusting it but it made no difference.

Very powerfull single pump rifle

Friendlier scope adjustment

Acceptable accuracy out of the box, as far as I was concerned. It didn't seem to mind what brand of pellets it was fed, all of the ones I tried grouped at 1-inch or less at 100 feet, except for the occasional operator error. For what I paid (it was on sale) I feel that it was a decent value. The scope had decent resolution and was easily adjustable, although the battery for mine was dead on arrival and it took awhile to find another one because it is an older type of button battery. I didn't have any trouble finding the correct eye relief distance, although I would have preferred more room for adjustment.

My major complaint with this rifle is that this part of the product description - "With the Stoeger Arms X20S2, you can shoot at a flock of pest birds and not scare all of them away after the first shot. Stealth...this gun has it in spades," - is NOT true. At all. MAYBE if the critters were 100 yards away or so, that statement would be true. It's certainly not true for anything closer than 100 feet or so, even after running 300+ rounds through the gun using several brands of pellets. It's not any quieter than any other air rifle I've used, although the silencer does basically eliminate any recoil. I fell that allowing manufacturer's descriptions to run without verification is a disservice to the customer.

Yes, it is heavy, as others have noted. Sling swivels so you could add a sling for better accuracy would have been appreciated. I'm reluctant to drill and install swivels on a synthetic stock, having had mixed results doing that with other guns.

Price was nice and the weight and feel were both good.

This gun comes with a terrible scope. So bad, in fact, I couldn't get it sighted in. Purchased a new scope and could never get the mounts to line up again.

Be careful when purchasing this gun. It is very particular about what pellets it uses and apparently the scope as well.

the weight and the penetrating power with lead pellets 40+ feet

better packaging when sent through the USPS or switch all shipments over to United Parcel Service. My shipment had the barrel through the inner box and the outer box had been penetrated and then patched over!

I would not recommend this weapon for children under 14 yrs. of age, due to the weight and the strength that it takes to cock it!

Solid, comfortable, accurate, price, . . . . A great fun rifle

I enjoy this rifle and my wants are simple, a better scope, rails, and a bit more umph. . . Perhaps a green or OD synthetic stock

Innovations and designs are coming faster and faster . . . . And until the mid calibers .25,.30,.35, are sorted and refined I think the .22's are a great bargin and fun small game hunter

This gun is CRAZY ACCURATE! Hits the inside crosshairs in the bullseye of the target just about EVERY time! I do not even TRY to hit the target sometimes and it still does!

Feels a little awkward holding the rifle, maybe change the shape a little in manufacturing.

It is a great hard hitting .22 cal. gun, just buy it, you will not be disappointed!

The price most of all. This is a very accurate rifle after about 500 pellets. Also this rifle comes with a suppressor that makes this very backyard friendly. I hear the mechanics of the gun internally when firing outside, only. Awesome.

none

I get your company confused with Airgun Depot. Because I just purchased a Hatsan, also recently. I just received it yesterday. Anyways, I hear Airgun Depot is sister company of Pyramid. Even though, Pyramid Air is my all time favorite airgun store. I would have purchased the Hatsan from your company. In fact, I had ordered few items from them. I will make sure to purchase from Pyramid Air from now on.

This is a nice solid rifle And is finished well it shoots where ya point it. It is quieter than some of my other rifles but not what I would call quiet. Perhaps it will quiet down once it has a few rounds through it. All in all its a pretty good dal

Maybe make it a bit more quiet

Its a keeper

For $99.99 you cant buy a better .022 rifle. Buy it you will see trust me.

For me scope is good but could be better I replaced mine with 4X12X40

Nope

The Stoeger X20S2 is a combination that fits my needs as a backyard plinker and occasional varmint chaser. I really like the tight snap of the firing cycle and the total quietness of both the spring action and the discharge report. The trigger is decent but could use less creep out of the box. Overall, it's a compact package that gives you good control and quiet action.

The scope is simply too short for this rifle design. Will replace ASAP. Accuracy is still a question mark at this time. I am still in the break-in period and still trying various pellets to see if accuracy will improve. Accuracy is decent but not the tack driver desired (yet).

This is my first Stoeger and I must say I am impressed with the build quality. More time and experience with this weapon will be required to draw substantial conclusions as to it's accuracy.

The Stoeger X20S2 is better than I expected. The trigger does not have the sloppy travel folks said it had and the scope works great.More than enough power to bring down rabbits, possums, squirrels and other small pests. Accuracy is better than my ability.

Mount allow scope to be set back closer to everyones eye. Bit of a neck stretch to get good picture.

For the price this is great quality.

Substantial, not a toy. Seems accurate so far. And very quiet for such a high velocity. Stock is well shaped. Much more of a real rifle than I expected.

It's as heavy as my .308, but a lot quieter! Scope is junk, but I consider it a freebie.

It shoots well. Don't expect a toy: it's not.
