Just got this E Mail.
Other Macavity Updated Rifle
- Thread starter Chief Ten-Beers
- Start date
That is at 1600/1885 psi regulator setting which I am sure you can change. Just how the gun comes tuned, doesn't mean it can't be pushed further. Strange they advertise it as such anyhow.

Well, for Me if I were wanting that low of FPE I would choose a .22 or 177. I would want the .25 for hunting more than Sparrows and squirrels. lol

My .22 cal genesis model with its short 17” barrel will do around 40fpe after turning the reg up a quarter turn.. I can’t say what psi or bar the reg is at since there’s no gauge on mine but with that being said the .25 model should in theory easily push 60fpe with just hammer spring adjustment and possibly regulator pressure increase..

I am waiting on My Regulator for the Avenger .22 that I have, I also have an extension for the Plenum to install and see what I come up with. I just am planning on going larger Cal for My next rifle, so I can wait and see the reviews from the Reviews as they come out.

This model is looking a little more compact than the gen 1. That's more up my alley. I hate musket sized rifles.

For myself I am looking forward to what the "Long" version brings to the table. I rarely go hunting in wodded areas, so the length would not be a problem. I like it being in the 6lb weight area however. My Airacuda is over 7 bare.

My revere is just over 40 inches with the belita on the front. Normally that'd be a deal breaker for me, but the weight on the rifle is balanced to the rear and it's slender enough to mitigate that twitch to my OCD
. Now when I had a kral mega, that thing was so front heavy because of the tube, I just couldn't do it. I had a shoulder injury at the time and off hand shooting was almost impossible. Even when I switched it out to the np03 tube which is about 8 inches shorter, it was still too front heavy. That tube was aluminum, but it was the heaviest aluminum I've ever handled. I swear it was heavier than the 330cc rifle tube that's steel.

Other than just carrying it to a Hunting spot, I don't worry that much. All I hunt is Coyotes so I am normally seated and Calling and using shootin sticks. Weight does get to you after a while though. First Rifle I bought was a Savage 12FV with a Bull Barrel! LOL I then went to a Tika T3 lite! lol But when Hunting coyotes rarely do you get an off hand shot. Only if it's a Coyote of opportunity. At least in My experience.

That makes sense. Those yotes don't sit still for long and you need perfect aim, especially with an air rifle.

One of my marauders has the stock steel tube, while the other has a custom aluminum tube made before Jsar got in the game (I was kinda the market inspiration lol)and lightweight stock...I like both for each reason, I like the heft on the stock gun, while I also like the feather light aluminum tubed one.
4.8 lb gun (undressed) vs 8 lb gun (undressed).
Funnily enough the regulated 4.8 lb has a 4.8 gram hammer and the unregulated 8lb gun has an 8 gram hammer.

Pretty much the same reason I sold the Kral Mega I purchased from you. That gun was way too heavy for my liking.
Been shooting my cousin's Macavity MA2 for the past few months. Much more enjoyable to shoot and the build quality seems to be a step above the Mega.
