Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 Rifle

Quiet, Accurate with great CO2 saving features plus the build quality you expect from Umarex. Some users complain about accuracy but mine was shooting off hand 1" groups at 25 yards out of the box with only a few clicks on the scope get zero'd in. Maybe this is down to the shooter or possibly they were shooting in colder conditions that impacts CO2 power and shot consistency. If you are shooting in colder conditions keep the CO2 tube in your car or inside your jacket until you plan to shoot.

More Power!! Maybe a 22 version? I also have a CO2 Crosman 2240 with a longer barrel and this has almost double the muzzle energy so the same power should be possible or even higher with this platform, without having to go to the PCP version.

When using the double CO2 tube you need to be aware it does have a valve so you can remove it after a shooting session to preserve your CO2 rather than letting it slowly bleed out whilst not being used.

If you use the larger 88 gram you need to buy one of these if you want to have the option of removing cartridge without dumping all your CO2

The 88 gram cartridges do not lose as much power as the 12g ones after multiple shots in quick succession

Also note that if you use the 88 gram cartridges, you can't use the M-LOK mounts on the side rails. it may be possible if you shorten the M-LOK mount screws.

You need to consider what you plan to use this rifle for, it is an awesome plinking gun that can deal with any backyard soda can infestations but like most CO2 powered guns, the power is limited so any pest control use is limited to rats at 10 yards max and assuming you have good chance of a headshot.

Great gun! Just like with any other gun, you have to pay attention to how you hold it when aiming for dead accuracy.

I would have made it better by letting it have the ability to pierce the 2nd 12g with ease.

Use the 88's and 90's! works so much better. With the right pellets, it can punch through a license plate! Did that by accident.

The look and feel of it when you pick it up. Has a GREAT trigger right out of the box. Probably one of the best of the 12+ air rifles I own or have owned.

The accuracy, no matter what pellets I shoot, is mediocre at best. I have shot over 14 different brands & styles. None do great. It is, however, very consistent it seems. About 36 good full power shots always in a 2-1/2 inch group at 25 yards. Minute of soda can accurately, But pinpoint accuracy, no. By comparison the Crosman Nitro Venom .22 I purchased from PA nearly 10 years ago is highly accurate! Just yesterday shot 4 of 5 Crosman Premere HP pellets into a fingernail size group at 20 yards. And that is often that guns normal. I dislike the dual CO2 chamber as it has been finiky and a very slow leak from day one. And I absolutely LOATHE the action. The bolt handle takes a good deal of force to load another round properly, and installing or removing the rotary mag is a major pain! Now more than ever I am getting jams and then double feeds trying to cycle the bolt. And I am being careful to do it right every time! This rifle is just very fussy.

I purchased this rifle in early October of 2021.
Now it is April of 2023 and I have had a LOT of range time with this rifle. So my testimony and 30+ years of shooting experience I truly feel makes this a unbiased and credible account of this review. Due to manufacturing tolerances,
your results may vary. I have in the very recent past modified the rifle a bit and now am getting somewhat better use out of it. But it is still prone to a fussy action. Smooth..........is one thing this rifle is NOT!
