Page 4 - Umarex Cowboy Lever Action Reviews

A nice reproduction of a working rifle. Fun to fiddle with , shoot , and great conversation peace .

Not a thing . It is what it is. A great collection rifle that shoots .

It was worth the money . I would buy this again knowing what I know now .

Realism,trigger,shot count.

Better Q/A Q/C from Umarex. Offer a bulk fill plug, add a provision for a peep sight.

Pay for the check by Pyramid my first one leaked. Might as well only load one powerlet over an empty one. Neither my original gun or the replacement would pierce both powerlets without first depleting the first cartridge even with expensive Umarex cartridges. First one I received shot great but would not hold C02. Pyramyd took care of me with a replacement. The second holds C02 shoots almost as well as then first. The replacement has cracks in the hand guard on both sides,seems stable and it does not leak C02 so I am keeping it. Love the gun , shoots well with bbs with Gold cartridges or Wadcutters using sliver cartridges. Using pellets I consistently hit 2 inch swingers from 60 feet Offhand.

looks and feels like the firearm

provide a way to attach a sling to the stock

the screw that tightens to puncher the cylinders does not screw in far enough to allow the but plate to lock in place when using Crossman cylinders

Everthing,

Nothing

It's a fun gun to shoot, fast and very accurate.

This is an excellent rifle ! Weight, feel, heft, overall look, accuracy, power, function, fitment, all top notch.Even the plastic stock fools you with its real look and feel. Amazingly accurate out of the box (1/2" spread at 50 feet) without even sighting in. 585 average fps per Pyramid testing with a high of 608 fps and over 80 shots per co2 fill. What more could you ask for .........

The only thing would be a rifled barrel for shooting pellets even more accurately.

Pellets work very well even though its marketed as a bb rifle. Seems to have more power with pellets. Buy a lot of extra cartridges to speed loading down time. I own more than 15 bb/pellet air guns, mostly replica, and this is one of the best in my collection. Well worth the money spent !

Solid built. Fun to shoot and very accurate. Potent.

I wish you could order extra shells in multiples of ten...rather than six.

Weight and feel of the real thing

This rifle is awesome. Great for backyard shooting. To have the experience of shooting it with a child or grandchild is unforgettable

Nicely made with a great feel in my hands. I put off way too long in making the purchase.

Give us a wooden stock. Yeah, more spendy, but, it adds a bunch in authenticity.

Beautiful gun...Number ONE in my collection.

This is very unique in that the gun ejects the shells. Vey realistic and accurate with both BB's as well as pellets. The trigger is great, the plastic stock even looks great!

Offer a rifled barrel and maybe the option for a wooded stock. That's all I can say since the rifle is fantastic as is.

This rifle shoots both pellets and bb's. It does have a smooth bore barrel but it shoots pellets well with the silver pellet cartridges. The best and most complete review of this gun is on Airgun Detectives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kco-EfDgeCU Alter you watch this you'll want to buy one!!

great gun fun shorting

nothing

this company rocks ...happy pinking

The heft and feel of the rifle is pretty close to the real '94 Winchester. The rifle looks nice and the stocks, although plastic, don't look or feel like it. So far, I am pleased with the accuracy and the cartridge charge looks like it can handle about 80+ rounds with little loss in power. Once the CO2 does deplete, the power drops off pretty quickly as expected. It functions almost like the real '94 and the action is smooth and solid. Overall, I am well pleased with the rifle.

I would recommend to have it shoot pellets rather than BBs. A rifled barrel would increase the cost (maybe too much?). But even with a smooth bore, I believe the lead pellets would deliver a little more accuracy and would be harder hitting. I works great as a BB gun, but I have two of the Umarex Colt SAAs with 5-1/2" barrels, one pellet, one BB, and the pellet gun noticeably out shoots the BB in both accuracy and energy on target. They both get about the same number of shots per CO2 cartridge. The same may be the case if this were done with the rifle.

I love this new '94 lever gun. It's a good quality air gun. I do have one issue and I don't know how to solve. The CO2 system appears to be the same as the MP-40 full automatic BB gun (Legends by Umarex). I love the MP-40 and it's fun to shoot. The in-line bottom to bottom CO2 cartridge configuration has a very robust threaded seal, which very positively seats and punctures the cylinders and seals the gas chamber. However, if the cartridges are not almost completely depleted (99% ?), it is a bear to unscrew and get open (and I'm a weight lifter). The MP-40 comes with a full size hex wrench and if there is any CO2 left in the chamber you almost need a cheater pipe to break it loose. I haven't experienced this extreme with the '94, but I have purposely emptied the chamber prior to unscrewing it (it is not easy to do, but does not require near the force as the MP-40). A smaller person might not be able to open the chamber and remove/replace the CO2 cartridges if all the CO2 is not deplete

This gun is beautiful! Not only in looks, but also workmanship, quality, balance, very realistic, weight, stock and forensic really nice. The cartridges are true to life in weight and looks. The lever action is smooth and easy. Cartridges eject smoothly.

The only things at this time that I would change is how to remove the butt plate. I would prefer a recessed fold up lever or tab of some kind to be able to remove butt plate quickly and without the need for a tool or coin. Also the instruction / operating book could be more explainative. For example to load cartridges with the steel BB, do you put the BB in the back or front of the cartridge. It does have a diagram, but it should verbally instruct a first timer where to insert and how far it should go in.

Be safe and careful!

Everything! I had this gun for just over 4 months now and still LOVE shooting this rifle. It is really fun to shoot this gun. Nothing has broken yet, meaning this rifle is extremely durable. I have dropped a couple of times yet it still works very fine. The accuracy on this rifle is unbelievable. BBs are not as accurate as pellets but they still have great accuracy over long distances. The rifle itself is very realistic. it even features the locking block of the bolt. and don't forget, the shell ejecting feature is really satisfying.

It will be nice if the rear sight could be adjusted to a little higher pos & the ability to adjust windage. I do not like using CO2s because they are not cheap at all. (Because of this gun, I use my co2s much more than I used to haha) Id love a pcp version of this. Also, I would like to see a version that actually chambers a round instead of the bolt riding over the cartridge.

If you are consider buying this gun, BUY IT.

Look

Use real wood instead of plastic. As they are limited production each year daisy offers the original wood 1894 repeater bb gun as well as pistol that are spring powered. With a tubular filled bbs. That's what I'm anxiously waiting for. I hope to be fortunate enough to get one of each this year as my name is on the waiting list

This is an excellent air rifle that acts like a real Winchester. Smooth action and shell ejection. It's also very accurate when firing and has good power. It's a lot of fun to shoot tin cans with. The shells look and feel like the real ones, all metal.

The safety switch at the top of the handle is a bit odd. They could have left it out. But other than that, it's really close to the real Winchester rifle.

This is a great addition to anyone's collection. I bought extra shells so I wouldn't have to pick up the expended ones too quickly. Umarex did a great job with this rifle and Pyramyd Air did a great job with their service and fast delivery.

The rifle is very accurate using 7.4 gr Crosman pellets at 30 feet - very impressive, tight groups. It is as accurate as my Walter Lever Action, Wells Fargo edition. This Legends Lever Action is easy to cock and eject shells. Nice weight and feel to the rifle. My Colt SAA pellet shells work just as well as the 10 shells that came with the rifle. I bought the "10 for 10 Service" to make sure I didn't get a lemon. The fps tape that Pyramyd made for me for the 10 shots averaged 550 fps with very little variation. I like that it takes two 9 gram CO2 cartridges rather than the big expensive ones.

Make the stock and forearm out of walnut. Make a better system to unlock the butt plate to load CO2. Pushing it in with my thumb and turning it doesn't quite get it and I have to use a nickel to twist it open the last bit. Make a version with a gold receiver.

I tried catching the ejecting shells with a tarp on my lawn in the backyard. Picking them up wasn't that much fun. So, I bought a Caldwell Brass Trap and attached it to my shooting bench. It's generous size makes it easy to aim the ejecting shells into it and catch them every time.

Heft and feel of the real thing.accuracy is very good a good plonker. Pair it with any western revolver and you have a winning team.

Dedicated pellet firing cartridges.

I have the gun looks very, but haven't shot it yet

shoots straight for a smooth barrel BB gun, but thats not what its for. Fast action cowboy shooting in your yard? this is for you. Not super loud and fun to shoot.

nothing really, maybe an 88g CO2 option and extended mag but thats all wishful thinkin

the shells shoot out and on the floor unless you got skills to catch em.
