I'm happy with it stock. But I might try the moderator insert to make it just a little more backyard friendly.

Umarex Is Your Notos Upgraded or Out the Box?

You can't sell your past hunting trips, fishing trips, or trips to Hawaii, so I really don't see the relevance of comparing those apples to these oranges.

I've considered and priced out various mods to this nearly 70 yr old Noob's Notos. I then looked at my Streamline, S200 and Stormrider and thought, naw, I'm a backyard shooter. I did buy a Red Corn moderator extension and just put on a CVLife scope one of my friends gifted me, replacing a red dot. I also got a single shot loader and even a mag from the same maker but decided I like to shoot "slow" so use the single shot loader. The Notos works fine at 10 yrds in my basement, longer ranges will be tested later this week. One thing I would like is a "better" cocking lever, but I haven't seen one that I am wanting to try yet.

I can't buy much of anything without modifying it. So yeah.... my notos has been modded... heavily. I picked it up for fun. Few to zero pests at home... a pleasant side effect of consistent insecticide apps. Could actually benefit from a few squirrels to eat up the acorns.
Anyway, if the notos was "fine" out of the box we'd all be rocking a stock notos. The right mods make an absolutely massive improvement.

Guilty for mods. It shot great OTB, but I needed it for squirrel outings, and going back to truck for a refill every couple mags was not my idea of a fun hunt. So increased shot count was a must. The tactical appearance with the Buck-Rail kit is amazing. All in all, not including optics, I probably have $940 into the build. I mod everything... Cars, trucks, homes, guns, so the ease and availability of aftermarket accessories for the Notos makes it a solid choice.

The FX cocking handle is just about perfect but it's super expensive! Even so, I've got 4 on my bench getting bobbed this week for customers guns.

@zeroc , did you miss the 1022 mod craze 20 yrs ago on RFC? Because I rode the crest of that craze, I sort of have it out of my system. But I have to look at myself in the mirror with this new hobby of mine, airguns, and try and hold myself back of all the nutty stuff I did with powder burners 2 decades ago.

Mine is OTB, and i luv it, I don't shoot it beyond 40 yds. not planning on any mods but a mod insert. Where are you guys getting the mod inserts?.

haha, you got me! My 1022 was also heavily modded until I moved on to airguns. With the suppressor ban in my state, it was a dead end for power burners. With a suppressed airgun, I can shoot in the comfort of my backyard every morning, rather than driving two hours to the range or some sketchy BLM land.
btw, the mod craze with 1022 is still going on if you follow the community.
