Stormrider vs Urban

[Dr. Kralenstein]

Which would you pick of the two? Looking at getting another cheapy lightweight gun thats a pcp repeater. I had a gen1 stormrider but the breech was too picky and I sold it off. The gen2 is supposed to be better.
I don't know much about the urban.

Interested in the results. I hear nothing but good things about the urban.

Same here, but 21 fpe in .22 cal seems a bit weak to me.

Urbans have a BSA hammer forged barrel and they are very accurate. Shot count probably goes to the Urban as well. The Urban moderator is hideous and not easy to remove. The barrel band can cause poi shifts too. Urban magazines are ridiculously expensive if you want extras. I did enjoy my Urban but I gave it to a buddy. I still own 2 Gen2 Stormriders and will probably buy another one. They often require some tinkering but that slim wood stock just does it for me.

You can turn the Urban up to around 28 fpe with the hammer spring adjustment, but will sacrifice shot count and noise goes up considerably.

See I didn't even know they were adjustable in stock form. 28 fpe isn't too bad.

You have to take the stock of to do it, but once you do, you can drill a hole in the plastic cover and make future adjustments through the hole with an Allen wrench.

Would the Gamo Arrow not be a better option?
