| German quality and loaded with features, the Hammerli 850 AirMagnum is so much fun to shoot that you'll have a hard time putting it down. Let's start with the all-weather stock. You can take this gun anywhere and not worry about a fragile finish, because it's made from a durable polymer. It's ambidextrous, too, with a raised cheekpiece on both sides of the Monte Carlo stock! This CO2 rifle uses an 88-gram AirSource cartridge, giving you up to 200 shots before you have to change cartridges. The fiber-optic sights will help you acquire your target, but feel free to mount a scope on the 11mm dovetail rail. (Umarex also makes a dovetail-to-Weaver mount; check the Accessories link below.) The checkering on the pistol grip and forearm will help you get a good grip while you plow shot after shot from this 8-shot repeater. This gun is everything you ever hoped for in a CO2 repeater! We've recommended some pellets to help you get the most from this airgun. Check out the AMMO link. Remember to click on the ACCESSORIES link to get extra magazines and AirSource cartridges and to select appropriate scopes, mounts and other shooting gear.

Reviews summary Hammerli 850 AirMagnum
Things I liked:Accuracy, reliability, plenty of power for plinking and small game and pests, and extremely consistent shot strings (8fps average deviation and 23fps extreme spread over 20 shots in stock form.) Things I would have changed:Easier to find parts should one need them (hammer springs weaken and compress after around 6K shots.) What others should know:Added a .225" shim to the hammer spring and removed lawyer spring so hammer gets full impact and took the rifle from 540fps (weakened spring) to 678fps (better than when new) with 14.66grn 5.53mm ftt's and its still very accurate. <9 fpe to 14.9 fpe after shim. Shots per co2 dropped to a lil fewer than stock, but the power increase was a nice trade off. Things I liked:not much, although it was accurate Things I would have changed:the stock is hollow and feels cheap, I could not keep the gun from jamming What others should know:I sent this gun back, the constant jamming was just to much to put up with

Things I would have changed:Alas, she's not perfect. I have the .22, and I have to say if I bought it again it would be in .177 caliber. I think early on there may have been some quality control issues as if you look online you can find a fair number of reviews critical of .22 pellets not holding firm in the magazine -- well, I think they addressed that by tightening the tolerances and perhaps the little pellet-gripping o-ring... and on my rifle, that mechanism is problematic -- it makes the gun *super* pellet fussy. Basically, it's very difficult to load wadcutter style pellets -- you need to "seat" every pellet with a tool, whereas pointed and domed pellets for the most part just click right in. You have to be careful on not choosing pellets that are too tall (Polymags) and will bind the action, and general consensus seems to be mid-weight domes or pointed pellets is the way to go. The correct pellets are not only easier to seat in the mag, but will also cycle better -- you'll notice it, moving the bolt, when everything clicking the way it should. I'm still on the hunt for some wadcutters that'll work well since this is a fantastic indoor gun and is a joy to punch paper with. The stock "cap" that covers the C02 could indeed be a bit more robust, but I don't think it's as bad as some folks make it out to be. I also like the idea of the 12g C02 adapter, but it's far too expensive for what you get.
What others should know:Minor gripes aside, this gun is a beaut. Reserve judgement on it until you get the right pellets rolling, then see just how tough it is to put down before you've run through the C02. It's good enough that I'm considering a second, this one in .177 caliber...
