Stoeger S4000-E Breakbarrel Air Rifle

Feels great compared to most air rifles. Nice heavy shotgun feel, which I'm sure helps with stability. Nice clear scope included! And I love that it also has open sight.

If I made this rifle I would invest some serious time and money into the trigger. It's long, stiff and feels like it has 3-4 staged walls. I would also deeply consider raised scope rings that would for use of iron sights, in the event you decided to do so. The trigger pull is my one and only major complaint with this air gun.

The trigger is has a painfully long and hard pull weight. Seriously affects accuracy, and COULD make this a complete no-go for first time airgun shooters, especially with no pre existing firearm experience

- Accuracy out of the box (sights) - Sights included are great quality and very visible - Scope was far better quality than expected - Noise was surprisingly quiet. Would liken it to whacking a tree with a 1/2"-3/4" section of PVC pipe. - Swappable colorful grips were great and easy to replace. - None too difficult to rack

- Include a manual with an exploded parts list diagram. I prefer to do repairs on my own pellet/bb rifles and pistols ever since a local place screwed one up.

Affordability, power and accuracy

Nothing

Great rifle for the price. Bought one refurbished. Came with box and the multi grips and a 4x32 scope. After shooting about 50 shots it quieted down a lot. I would say its a great rifle for the money. Have to find what pellet it likes, so far i found apollo flat nose 8.4 gr works for me, but need to do more pellet testing to find which pellet type this rifle really likes. Shot some 8.4s over the chrony and it pushed 960 fps! Which i find to be impressive

Stoeger high quality for the money! Very attractive styling!

Nothing!

I own several Stoeger rifles and never had anything bad or to complain about with them! Worth the investment!

Good good dollar ! It's powerful enough , it shoots straight enough, and it's quite enough. Nothing really I could say bad about this rifle. I have 2 In 22. And now I have 1 in 177.

The only thing I would change on this rifle which many air rifle companies are guilty of, used to put a little bit more pride and emphasis in building a really good rear sight. Everything is not scope scope scope. A lot of Us shooters Still prefer fix sights to scope Especially on the close distances. Everyone makes cheap plastic sites. If uncomfortable would make a quality metal site They would make a killing.

You can't go wrong with this rifle. It is just as good or better than any rifle and it's price bracket On top of that they give you cosmetics Extras If you don't like the black you can put on orange or blue. It's a great rifle.

Looks, price(on sale)

Powerplant(spring coil)

Buyer beware!! This is a spring powered instead of gas ram.
Already contacted customer service to let them know about this rip off.

Accurate.

Read on.

My gun came with a regular METAL SPRING, not air ram as advertised. It is Much louder than any of my Crosman np's that don't even have noise reduction system. The barrel on my gun extends all the way through the end, I van see the crown, so nothign like the illustration of the noise dampening systen on Stoegers website. Also, gun shoots too low. Elevation maxed out to be on target at 15 yards. Will be contacting PA soon.

Seems to be a well made firearm and has a comfortable and hefty feel when using it.

The supplied scope is a piece of cheap junk , with almost 70 years experience using all types and makes of guns this one has the worst trigger I have ever dealt with, and hope the company makes some kind of modification to improve it I

Takes a lot of shooting to break this gun in !

This is a superb addition to my collection. Looks, feel, firing all meet my standards. It is a quality gun for the price. Accuracy, as with any new air gun, takes practice. Break in takes a few hundred shots but, it's worth it.

Nothing.

This takes pressure to cock. Read the directions carefully. Right put of the box don't attempt to just grab the barrell and pull down. Use your hand and slap the end of the barrell below to sight. This will unlock it for for cocking. It'll make your experience go smoother...

Recently purchased direct from Stoeger as PyA took too long to get in stock.

Very well made and powerful. Report is subdued. Love the barrel. Feels premium. Better air rifle than Gamo. Feels on par with Hatsan. The extra grip inserts is a nice touch and adds customization (I wish the colors of the inserts were Different?).

And OF COURSE it is hard to cock people, like ALL break barrels. I use an upside down technique when cocking air rifles, makes it much easier.
