Norica Omnia ZRS Air Rifle

Great gas piston break-barrel, absolutely the best one I have! Not having to worry about the jumping and kicking that comes with using nearly any other breaker makes this rifle a real winner for fans of the type.The accuracy with only the open sights is extremely good, so I don't intend to mount any additional optic. It's powerful, hard-hitting, doesn't jump around (so there's no need to leap through hoops trying to figure out how to shoot the daggone thing) and it's super accurate. It represents a very refreshing change of pace for the type, and probably would be great for small game hunting as well (maybe with a shoulder strap added to help with the weight). It's a very nice air rifle.

So what's with my four star 'overall' and 'value for the money' ratings? The shape of the buttstock prevents it resting solidly on my wood floors, so it tends to slide around very easily when I cock it -- unlike the other air pistons I have with a flatter shoulder pad. Because I'm disabled and have to rely on using the floor as an anchor, this interferes with my being able to reliably and safely get it cocked for each shot. I can do it, but it's enough of a problem I don't choose it for target practice as often as I would otherwise. Really, this is my only problem with the ZRS, other than the cost, which for me is a bit high -- having learned more about this type of air rifle from other users, discovering there are other high quality models available from other reputable manufacturers for just about the same cost, rifles that also are easy to cock and don't jump around on shooting, makes me feel it's a bit over-priced. That said, it IS a very nice shooting air rifle. :-)

If the price doesn't scare you away, this very well made, super easy handling, higher quality air rifle that shoots very accurately and hits with authority is worth serious consideration for those in the market for a great-shooting gas-piston breaker. The one problem I have with using it probably is due more to my unique personal situation than any actual attribute of the air rifle inself and may not be anything other users will experience, so it's definitely worth a look for fans of the type. Shooting it is a real pleasure.

It's recoilless! It's a joy to shoot! Did I mention it's recoilless? Is quiet enough to be neighborhood friendly. Excellent trigger on an air rifle. Factory fiber optic sights very good. Easy to adjust.

Cocking effort higher than other break barrels. Is definitely finicky on pellets it likes to shoot. May take some research and lots of shooting different pellets.

I found it is an excellent air rifle for me with good weight and balance when holding or firing from a bench rest.
Cocking effort is harder than one may expect. I found one firm movement is the proper procedure for cocking air rifle.
I mounted my scope from my AR-15. Being a recoilless firing system it's a real joy seeing the scope picture barely move when fired. The trigger is light and crisp. My best estimate a pound and a half break.
The air rifle does not seem to care how you hold it or what benchrist you use to fire it. It just plain works! It is not overly loud when fired. The short modulator at the end of the barrel does change the tone. It is neighborhood friendly.
It is very finicky on what type of pellets it likes to shoot accurately. The right pellet and I shoot 3/4 in or less size groupings at 15 yds. Pellets it doesn't like two to four inch groups.
I took the time to learn how to shoot it and really enjoy it.
Want something different? This may be your air gun!

As far as looks go it’s not that impressive, it looks kinda funky, and some people think it cost way too much. Which would be true if this were a regular break barrel gas piston pellet gun, but there is nothing regular about this rifle. The whole action moves inside a housing so when you shoot there is no kick, but if you have checked the internet, you already know that. But what the internet has not been saying is how much fun this thing is to shoot! It is so easy to use, if you can shoot a .22 rim-fire you can shoot this, and it shoots well from what I have seen so far. Maybe not as well as a PCP, but for a break barrel, not bad. For me H&N Excite pointed pellets seem to work the best. The pellets do drop a bit from 30 to 50 yds, and I don’t think I would shoot past that as this rifle does not have the power of some other break barrel guns. But for blasting dandelions in the backyard, it’s perfect.

Like the rifle, but the stock really needs some love. The back portion feels good up to my shoulder and with the cheek pad removed I can comfortably see the sights, but the pistol grip needs help! The way it is made it’s hard for me to get my finger where I want it on the trigger because of this "thing" sticking out of the side of the grip. It’s just not a good fit for my hand. A simpler grip would have been better in this instance I believe. But I am getting used to it and it’s not bad. Maybe later after the warranty runs out, I can file it down and make the grip a more custom fit. Also, in front of the trigger guard, I don’t know what the cross groves are supposed to be for, but I think smooth would have been better for cocking and handling.

With this being the first rifle of its kind I’m not sure how long it will last before there are problems with it, but for now I’m Lovin it.
As for the price, when I think of everything that has gone into making this rifle, so far, I feel like I got a great deal.
It’s just fun to shoot!

The lack of recoil makes it very easy to shoot with no need for specialized holds like a conventional spring/nitro piston gun. Power level seems adequate for a non magnum .177 rifle.

The rifle I received will not shoot decent groups despite trying multiple pellets from multiple manufacturers in different weights, even after two thorough cleanings and at least a thousand pellets put through the gun. I believe this is because of the recoil absorbing system resulting in a barrel that is very loose in my gun, which you can easily wobble left and right and up and down even when locked in the firing position. Unlike a system similar to the Diana 54, the scope is mounted to a portion of the rifle that does not move with the barrel, so any movement in the barrel results in pretty pitiful accuracy. The materials and craftsmanship of this rifle are also not that of a $400 rifle, so you are really paying a premium for a rifle with no recoil, but the lack of recoil does not make up for the lack of accuracy. Additionally, I find this stock and grip very uncomfortable.

I do not advise purchasing this rifle at this price. Maybe mine is a dud, but the accuracy, barrel wobble, and overall lack of quality control in this gun are unacceptable at this price in my opinion.

recoilless, trigger, grip, adjustable check piece, safety location

Very long to break barrel to engage. Would be great if thy yea offered rifle with LW barrel.

Shoots AA 8.4 pellets around 900 ft/sec. It has been shooting same hole at 30 yards but it will throw 1 out of 5 pellets somewhere. Hopefully accuracy keeps getting better as it gets broke in. I didn’t expect a bunch out of something like this or compared to my tx200, but I really enjoy it. It is recoilless and trigger in my opinion is good and I haven’t messed with it. Would be great for plinking, hunting or maybe a beginner field target rifle. It is something different and a keeper!
