Umarex  Accuracy VS FPS consistency (Notos and Avenger)

Hello!

I have had an Air Venturi Avenger (Bullpup) for a while now, and have been reasonably happy with it (more below), but I recently purchased a Umarex Notos. It has some things I really like, but also seems to have an accuracy issue.

Notos - I love the size and weight. Additionally, the left cocking lever I find nice (I shoot lefty due to a left dominant eye). I'm impressed with the regulator, and am getting very good FPS consistency across the 21 or so shots. It is almost always +/- 1 or 2 FPS across the string (around 762 using CPHPs). The issue I am having is accuracy. Five shot groups at 25 yards are commonly 2" or more. I haven't done an exhaustive test of pellets, but multiple different types and manufacturers seem to more or less have the same issue. The best I have ever gotten is ~1" group, but with multiple on the 2.5-3" happen too. This is from bench rest (bags and a rear squeeze bag), with a 9x scope. I can pretty confidently say its not just me missing (I do fine with other pellet guns). Also, this is using the single pellet loading tray (because the magazine is surprisingly bad - I'll have to get aftermarket ones). It is also not just fliers causing the broad groups. Groups are usually shotgun pattern (e.g. near the center, 1" high and left, 1" low and right, 3/4" low left, etc.). I have reached out to Umarex customer support, but haven't heard back yet (probably understandable due to the weekend and time of year). I don't think I am being unreasonable expecting better groups at 25 yards (Umarex pellets are among the ones I tested, so they can't just blame the pellets :) ). Since the FPS are so consistent, does this suggest a barrel or crown issue? Did I get a lemon? (most people seem to rave about the accuracy)

Avenger Bullpup - As I mentioned, I am generally happy with my Avenger. I can't rave about it being a tack driver, but I've found a point where it is acceptable. I've settled on 2000psi on the regulator and two turns of the hammer spring for CPHP. This gives me around 925 FPS, and 10 shot groups at 25 yards that are generally touching (the CPHP sometimes give a flier, but most in a group). Not a "single ragged hole" that some people boast, but often a single large hole about the size of a quarter. I'd like it to be better, but I've settled for that using CPHPs (yes I could get better pellets, but I like getting them locally for cheap). I've tried other pellets, without really significant improvements (except for not having a random flier). I have been a bit disappointed with the regulator of the Avenger though. FPS have a much broader range that I expected. If I shoot a 10 shot group (3-5 sec between shots), the FPS at the best of times the spread is 10-15. It is nowhere as consistent in FPS as the Notos. Additionally, in between magazines (when there might be a few minute before shooting again), the FPS can jump as much as 40-50. This is noticeable in the regulator pressure, which can creep up slowly to a max is you wait longer between shots. Watching it carefully, sometimes is "resets" the pressure within a second or so, while other times it rises slowly and takes 10+ seconds to stabilize. By stabilize, I mean over a short time. If I wait a few minutes, it will very slowly creep up a bit more. With it set at 2000psi, if I wait overnight, the regulator will usually go up to 2300psi or so. Additionally, I get what I think is a reasonably significant drift as the cylinder pressure goes down. When set to 2000psi with the cylinder at 4300psi, if I shoot down to 2500psi, the regulator will only show 1500-1700 (not always consistent, but consistently lower than the 2000psi set). This means that while I get 100+ shots on the regulator, speeds averages slowly drop over the string. Overall spreads for even 80 shots can be as much as 70-80.

Hopefully Umarex can help with the accuracy issue I am seeing, because I really like the Notos otherwise. It just struck me as strange that it is so much more consistent in FPS than the Avenger but significantly worse in accuracy. If that can be fixed, I'll definitely be shooting it a lot. I have been spoiled by the Avengers 100+ shots though. 20-21 between fills is nowhere near enough. I'm going to have to get a reserve bottle to do refills, because 20 shots is not enough at a sitting...

  • Question
Help Picking a scope for around $250 -325

Newbie here - planning on a B-mod and will mainly shoot between 20 - 70 yards and was thinking about a Genesis 6-24x50 FFP $204 delivered Occasionally maybe longer. Is this a bad idea?
Not sure where my path will go, but did not know if this is overpowered?

Anyone know what attachments are needed for the Benjamin Marauder.
Any other scope suggestions would be great.

Who knew I needed a Crosman 1377

I used to have a not so different 130 when I was a young buck. It put it's share of frog legs on the table in it's time. Somewhere along the line I must have given it away as I haven't seen it in years. Then while browsing the net last week , I spotted this Custom 1377 classic. It was reported like new, with a upgraded trigger but I was especially smitten with the furniture. It got here yesterday and I got to put the first pellet's through it today. I'm really liking the overall feel of this one. (Much better than the old plastic griped versions I've handled.) I have to say, it did better across the radar than I thought too. The second picture shows average velocities obtained using a 8.4 gr wadcutter pellet. In most cases there was only a 2-3 fps S D acrross 5 shot strings

Opening day success in Michigan

I've been so busy this last week hunting and running around I almost forgot to post this! Lol
My custom .45 Piledriver shooting NSA 298 grain knurled hollow points at about 825 for the first shot! It's a shooter 😜
43 yards on the buck and 50 on the doe. Both only went about 30/40 yards and DRT!

This one ran a little.

I got another squirrel this morning about 7:30am. It was a little over 30 yards away on the ground looking for acorns. I used my P35-177 shooting H&N baracuda match 10.6 grain pellets a little under 900 fps. The pellet hit this 14 ounce male behind one fro t leg and went out behind but closer to the other. He only went 5 or 6 feet but it was through a fence I had to go over to retrieve him. Most of the 16 I've taken with this gun have been DRT but not all.

Brocock/BRK  Brocock Sniper XR, general thoughts

Anyone here owned one of the Brocock Sniper XR's ?
I did a search, but didn't find answers to my question.

Looking for your overall feelings of the gun. Actual owners thoughts. Not what I can read myself.

Anyway, my thought is to do the..."opposite"...as many do with pistols. Rather than add a full length stock to a pistol, I'm thinking of cutting the barrel to the same end length as the 300cc cylinder.
Not attempting to try to make it into a "bullpup". just making a...short rifle. And yes, I understand that overall power will drop with the short barrel.

Thanks for your thoughts (on the gun...or...my hairbrained thought !).

Hunter Piston shooters - question?

Curious... What is the power output of your rifle(s), and why?

- Get as close as reasonably possible to that 20 fpe limit for trajectory or to shoot a heavier, higher BC pellet?
- Keep it low (say 11-13 fpe?) to be more forgiving (for lack of a better term)?
- Let the rifle tell you what power it wants (most accurate)?

Don't own a piston rifle (long been on my "roundtuit" list) & know only what I've read about them; beg pardon for any baked in assumptions evident in my question.
