ok so I might be mixed up.. last time I saw the umarex zelos tube gun is $600.. the umarex notos, well I think I have around $260 in it with pistol grips and open sights and 4 factory magazine.. so unless prices went out of sight the notos is under $250..
I bought it for a pistol, but with the moderator it was 22" long and too hard to shoot freehand... I was assuming that the moderator was screwed on with locktite.. but it's permanently attached.. so with the help of a friend who got a moderator 3d printed that fits inside the shroud, I shortened it to just under 16 inches it's much better now and even more accurate and quiet.. it's the only thing I have done to a gun, I normally just shoot out of the box.. and I have never tuned a gun..
now to be honest I personally wouldn't want it for a rifle.. rifle I want long barrel and a fair amount of shots per fill.. notos gets around 25-28.. never put the stock on since I wanted a pistol and then it just set because at 22" I had to rest it on the tube and it just was too much for me as a pistol..I was tempted and close to selling it but was offered $125 and I knew I couldn't afford to replace it with something better, since I didn't have money to spare..it's got a lot more use now that it's shortened.
