    Things I liked:

    I likr the gun they are made for

    Things I would have changed:

    Make these mags so that the pellets don't fall out. A simple change.Also a little high priced

    What others should know:

    Don't think so

    Things I liked:

    I appreciate the fact that these are available at all. It makes a great gun even better to have more clips for it.

    Things I would have changed:

    They are too expensive for a cheap injection molded piece of plastic. Make these $3 and I would have twice as many. The holes are too loose. This clip deserves a redesign where the holes are just slightly smaller, allowing it to hold pellets a little better. As they are, you have to hold the clip and the gun very carefully to keep most pellets from falling out. Some pellets are held tightly, but most are just too loose.

    What others should know:

    If you own an IZH-61, you know how much fun the gun is, and how much MORE fun it can be with more clips. Unfortunately these are not an improvement over the factory clips, and are still too loose. I suppose there is a trade-off between too-loose and squishing the pellets, but I think they could be tighter and not damage the pellet head diameter. If you own a 61, add one or two of these to every order, and soon you'll have a nice set. All I need now is a way to carry them loaded that keeps the pellets from falling out. That or mill my own.

    Things I liked:

    Always good to have an extra clip.

    Things I would have changed:

    The color was a little more faded than the ones that came with the gun and pellets did not fit as snug as the originals.

    What others should know:

    Maybe I just got a bad one but the extra one I ordered was not as good as the two that came with the gun.

    Things I liked:

    I purchased five additional magazines plus the two that came with the rifle. They are easy to load and work well in feeding pellets into the breech.

    Things I would have changed:

    The magazines need a tighter fit for pellets. Almost all pellets that I tried were very loose and some fell out if level or tilted backwards. I also found variations in hole sizes in different magazines. Perhaps metal magazines would correct the fit problems. The price seems high for a single plastic magazine.

    What others should know:

    Try several different pellets to get the best combination of fit and shooting accuracy. Much to my surprise, the Crosman Premier Hollow Point pellets (7.9 gr -metal tin) seems to work the best for accuracy and fit. I recommend numbering each magazine to help identify the item if you experience problems. To help prevent dry firing beyond five shots, I marked the top ridges with a silver marker to help keep track of the shot count. When I see five marks on the top or three open holes on the side, do not cock again. When inserting the magazines into the receiver, make sure that the the pellets are pushed all in and the heads are tilted down or the pellets may fall out.

    Things I liked:

    Saves time and makes using the IZH even more fun

    Things I would have changed:

    would be nice to have a slightly tighter fit so the pellets don't fall out so easily

    Things I liked:

    THESE CLIPS are actually very well made.

    Things I would have changed:

    A white dot to show when last shot is made. I do not always count shots.

    What others should know:

    The clips will actually hold the pellet if you set the pellet. Touch the back of the pellet with another pellet or earaser end of pencil. this will keep pellets from falling out.

    Rating 4.04.0 4.0

    Things I liked:

    Accuracy shouldn't be affected by a magazine unlike some other airguns, because the IZH-61 has a rod that pushes the pellet into the barrel when you cock it.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing, really.

    What others should know:

    The IZH-61 is easy to dry fire, but here's the tip you should know: When you see three open holes on the side of the airgun it's OK to shoot, but not to cock. Pay attention to that and you won't dry fire it.

    Things I liked:

    Really like my new IZH61 rifle, bought 2 extra mag for it. Mags are good but like everyone do not like pellets fall out easy, overall great.

    Things I would have changed:

    Something to hold pellets in or chage mag some how?

    What others should know:

    Very easy to dry fire gun when having too much fun, can't really tell mag in empty.

    Things I liked:

    The convenience of extra mags. The mags load easily though they do not retain pellets well especially if tipped upside down. I do not believe you can walk about the woods with a pocketful of these mags and have the pellets stay in. All the spares I purchased feed and index without issue. The price is not outrageous.

    Things I would have changed:

    The hard plastic is a question. I would like to see the option of metal mags and find some way of holding the pellets tighter to prevent spill out.

    What others should know:

    One mag I received (which was replaced immediately by Pyramid) was somehow affecting the trajectory of the 1st 3 pellets which hit 2 inches left, the next 2 were dead on. I repeated the cycle 5 times with exactly the same results. The only thing I can think of is that the mags were badly bored and the pellet was being deformed on being seated. Beyond this one anomaly, they performed well

    Things I liked:

    Works great like the rest of the rifle.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing.

    What others should know:

    Crosman Premiers seat perfectly in this magazine while Gamo Match and Crosman Competition Wadcutters are a little light.
