Walther Parrus Air Rifle, Black Synthetic

The power of this rifle is unbelievable. When you shoot it, it bucks your shoulder just like a larger gunpowder rifle

Nothing its great

This is a large rifle, heavy and solid

Established firearms company. Great price Well contoured and solid polymer stock, with but pad. Good balance. Accurate with the right pellets (H&N Barracuda Extreme). Excellent fitment and lines. Fiber optic sights are high performance, but I have utilized the dovetail scope mount. Solid metal reciever and barrel. Automatic tang mounted safety is easy to accuate. Solid targer performer and excellent hunter.

Trigger needs attention. Consider reducing weight, it is a heavy air rifle.

Much like all the reviews already say; The rifle is heavy and hard to cock. Trigger is not conducive to accuracy. If you can see past those minor issues, its a fantastic rifle for the price. Sends pellets with authority. Perfect for pest control and plinking. I would recommend this rifle to mature and veteran shooters, probably not for children or strength challenged people.

In the initial break in of about 150 pellets, I really liked the balance and palm swell of the synthetic stock. It really is a Black Beauty, the bluing is a deep luster of blue-black finish. The Parrus is a beefy rifle at first, but got lighter and easily wielded as the day progressed in bench rest and of hand trials as I got used to it. The stock seems shinier on the top half where the receiver sits, and well proportioned palmswell whereby cradling the rifle is in perfect balance, the stock is slightly duller on the under belly being a little more rough, it makes sense since it is bench rested or carried. Cocking got easier within the first hour, not wanting to lube or scope it until after the initial trial of various pellets. I just wanted to see want it could do. I like the overall build quality of the rifle and for the price point that it is, if nothing goes wrong, is a Great Value, the best value from Pyramyd Air. Customer service was awesome as was the delivery time of 6 days.

The Parrus is configured in synthetic, designed to be a work horse, it's very practical. I would change the front & rear sights to a solid beefier aftermarket metal with bright dots like those on a Glock. Plastic illuminated pieces detract from the beauty of the Parrus. I would change the receiver end cap from a 2 piece plastic cap to all metal where the almost perfect safety is, it should be metal as I wish the trigger guard were metal. I didn't realize the rifle is 1300fps rated, Wow Wheee!! I thought how could I carry this well balanced long rifle in the field comfortably? What sling & QD hardware could be used? The trigger face & crisp pull is almost perfect, I wouldn't change it till I get to know her better. Because it's a magnum I'd change the warranty to limited lifetime and repair. I heard tell they aren't gonna make these .177's anymore, if that's true, I have a nice piece of the pie (rumors?) Awesome Nice Gun. Customer service is HiTech & Professional in comparison to others

Break-in period will be long to mellow out the Parrus, I can only see it getting better as it sets ages. Within the first 15-40 .177 pellets, dieseling occurred. Going to a heavier 10.4 grain diabolo helped quiet and slowed the pellets from going supersonic like a 22LR. A moderator would help keep the bark down, it would need to match the recoil and beefiness of the Parrus. A scope would need to be beefy to match the fast clean shot cycle. Man what a nice action, it is hard to cock at first, 'got easier though. The gun is a laser 35meters or under, haven't tried it farther, seems silly beyond 40meters. It's a springer, you need to hold it like a springer and not choke hold it to shoot. Why would Walther build a 1/2" UNF if there ain't a matching moderator to survive the gun? You will definitely receive your appreciated value. My first time customer service and delivery was stellar, as was my advisor Carter D. Ontario Canada. PJ Clark fr: DonnyFL recommended P.A. Glad I listened.

Love this air rifle. It is accurate and put together with quality, German Quality

It would be nice to have it with multi-clip

It is a bit heavy

Rifle it self seemed well built.

Rear sight had to much play in it. It wobbled left to right.

If you do not plan to scope sight it, maintaining sighting zero looks to be a problem. I returned the rifle.

Extremely accurate for my uses. Quick delivery, painless order process

I couldn't decide which rifle I wanted most, so I chose the one James Bond would use

My Walther Parrus is extremely accurate and a fantastic backyard plinker. I have not used it for pest removal, but I am sure it would make for an excellent air rifle for that as well. It is relatively quiet, and the recoil is of course nothing like even a small centerfire or rimfire rifle, but there is a kind of shake when you shoot it. I am not used to air rifles, and that has been something interesting to get accustomed to. The rifle is extremely accurate and at approximately 20 yards, it shoots the pellets that came with it into a single hole. It came beautifully packaged in a cardboard box that came inside a second box for safety reasons from Pyramid Air, and the delivery was earlier than they told me it would be. Add to this the discounted price and the pellets that came with it, and I think I got a fantastic deal!

The gun is VERY heavy. I guess the steel cylinder and piston make it that way. It was quite a surprise to feel the weight when I lifted it up the first time. It is also long. I don't mind the length, as it is a backyard plinker, but the weight does bother my 13 year old after a while. I am not sure I would be able to change anything, but I guess I'll buy a second air rifle that is lighter from Pyramid Air in the near future.

This is a very nice budget air rifle. Pyramid Air's price was the lowest that I found online, and even though I had never bought from them before, I signed up with them and they sent me a discount coupon that made an already great deal even better. I am not an expert and won't try to tell experienced airgunners anything other than that I am very happy with my purchase. I have an in the packaging Walther 4x32 scope that I will use on it. I bought the scope for a similar discounted offer from a different seller more than a year ago. Pyramid Air have bundle offers with variable powered scopes etc but I am not sure why anyone would use one of those with an air rifle that you're not likely to shoot at more than 25 or 30 yards most of the time, unless you're into serious paper-punching and want to experiment with moving groups on the target and stuff like that.

This is one sexy beast A teeny bit heavy, cocks easy enough.

Not a thing

Thought I might settle for something less powerful, The extra weight is really not an issue. This is so easy to use, cocking is effortless, so why go weaker? Price is excellent.

Very accurate and powerful at a great price! quality German manufactured gun ..

Needs sling swivels very heavy to carry around outdoors without a sling!

Gun is heavy around 9lbs scoped, and cocking effort is also on the heavy side.
Purchased in .177 caliber and found it to have plenty of power for small game,
not very backyard friendly especially with light pellets has a pretty loud crack when fired
similar to a .22 rim fire!
Found the gun to be extremely accurate if you want a good quality German made gun at a great close out price
you will not go wrong with this one!
