Umarex Fuel Air Rifle

It looks and feels good. Recoil and sound are minimal.

The muzzle piece should be smaller. Folding the barrel to load is harder than it should be when you have to grab it 5 inches above the end The bipod is cool but the small plastic retainer broke the second time I used it. That part needs a lot of work. The scope it comes with is obviously inexpensive but I could not get it accurate enough to my liking.

Its heavy and looks great but the bipod is lousy. Swap the scope and it's fun to shoot.

Just about everything. The .177 Fuel I have is a nice gun, good for small game up to raccoon size. With H&N Sniper Medium pellets and a cheapo little Tasco 3-9x40 I am shooting a 1" pattern at 40 yards, and about 2" at 60 yards.

Something different for the bipod... stabilize it, stiffen it, just make it more solid.

Sixty yards seems to be about the max for this gun. H&N Sniper Magnums are too heavy, Sniper Lights don't carry any accuracy down range, but Sniper Mediums seem to be the honey spot.

I've been through at least a dozen different kinds of pellets in this gun. Crossman wadcutters have excellent accuracy at 20-30 yards, but don't carry enough energy to do anything beyond that. I have yet to find a pointed pellet that is accurate beyond 10 yards. Any round with a polymer jacket simply fouls the barrel. No accuracy to speak of. At this point H&N Sniper Mediums at 8.5 grains combined with their shape are accurate enough to pick the head off a wild turkey at 60 yards. Body shots will work, but the energy is low enough by that range you'll be chasing an injured animal for a bit.

I plan to buy this gun in .22 before long. I recommend either caliber.

looks good

Make sure the air rifle is a little more accurate at 10 yd's.

Shot rifle at 10 yd's with scope that came with it. Shot around 8 " low with scope all the up. Bought new scope, UTG VARMINT/PREDATOR SPC-U394
AOIEW. Shot 4" low at 10 yd's turned all the way up. Don't know what to do now.

Trigger, Thumb-hole stock, Fiber optic sights (love 'em), overall quality for this price range!

Not much, maybe the automatic safety, seems kinda close to the trigger, but I do have big hands.

Expected the rifle to work well with a heavier pellet. Barracuda 10.34's grouped nice at 30 yards, but 7.8 Gamo reds have a flatter trajectory and group just as well. Rifle is definitely hold sensitive. This thing eats scopes. On my third scope, a Monstrum 3-9x32 (same as a UTG BugBuster but without the sloppy mil-dot reticle) seems to handle this rifle nicely (400 pellets on this scope so far), the other two scopes lasted less than 100 pellets combined). I'm using see-thru rings so I can still use the open sights. Take your time and break this rifle in, it will settle down and be a pleasure to shoot. Very happy with this purchase and the way Pyramid Air handled the order, No Regrets!..Get one!

Accuracy, power, scope, design and gas piston its really cool

Pretty hard to cock and bit harder than I expected

I dont have this gun yet but I shot with this several times. Its verry good for small game hunting and you should buy .22 (bigger is better)

Well designed and sturdy body. I liked the open sights , a pre-requisite for any purchase i make. The scope was well designed.Not hard to cock. Good trigger pull. Powerful.

Nothing other than noise level.

I shoot a lot in my basement and this is not as quiet as i would like.

600fps with the JBS18 grain Jumbo Heavy pellet. Trigger is a little heavy, 5lbs by my scale but breaks clean with no creep. I can regularly shoot groups in the 1" range at 25yds with iron sights and the Jumbo Heavy. Four times that big with the scope. I'm primarily a center fire guy. I've heard that spring guns are hard on scopes. Of the 3 springer's I have, all shoot better with iron sights. All came with scopes from the factory. You would think a manufacture would not put a scope that would not hold up on their guns. It just makes them look bad. If I hadn't tested it without the scope I would have sent it back. Since I use it to stay in practice at a time that .22 rim fires are hard to get the fact that I don't have a scope is a minor concern.

Gun is a little heavy. I would like to see a reasonably priced air gun with a decent set of aperture sights.

Firm, Smooth, and Tight.

Nothing - except to detach the bi-pod if it is not useful. Did that on my .17, but going to keep it in this new .22

Was pleased w/ my 2 yr-old, 5,000 shot .17, so just got a new one in .22. Just as good. And scope is very good - just like on the .17.
And Kudos to Pyramyd in the delivery and packaging.
And just a technical point: I had to reverse my rings to get it on the paper in initial sighting. Saved me the "shimming" trial & error hassle.

Price , scope , bipod, everything about this gun.

Only 2 things I would change are the trigger and the fiber optics in the front. Trigger has about a 4 pound pull but you get used to it needs an adjustment for that. The fiber optics in the front needs a shroud around it to keep from breaking it very easy to knock it up against something and break it.

I have only run about 150 shots through this gun so far and the accuracy is awesome. Set up targets at 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - and 50 yards. After sighting in at 20 yds. I shot all 5 targets and the gun was right on at 10 - 20 - 30 yds and 1 1/2 in. low at 40 yds and 4 in. low at 50 yds . I would recommend this gun to anyone looking for a good gun at a very reasonable price. Go to( my air gun reviews ) on you tube and watch a full review of this gun or go to air gun web .com. You can't go wrong with this gun.

I like the fiber optic sights. Easy to cock . has plenty of power ,can't wait to hunt with it.shoots a little louder than I thought it would ,

Rifle is a bit heavy . I hope silencer just needs to be broken in gun is loud . FedEx .ground is the worst ! My package went from Ohio to California. ( 20 miles from my home ) to. Alabama back to California where I went and picked it up 6 days after it was scheduled to be delivered.There was no explanation why my package was shipped across the country .

If you order anything pay for next day delivery !
