jmclark Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi there Im thinking of getting a Umarex 850 Magnum soon, so just wondered if anyone owns one, or has ever fired one, i want to use it as a all round gun, bit of target practise, and a bit of hunting, is this the right rifle or not, and is there a better gun for the same price? Your thoughts please...... Many thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thoughts please...... Many thanks James the umarex 850 air magnum is a great starter rifle with good accuracy potential.there are however 2 potential problems with any co2 powered air rifle,in comparison to any other type of air rifle they are quite expensive to run[you might mitigate this with the relatively cheep purchase price for this spec of rifle]plus any co2 rifle suffers a power drop as the temperature drops creating a change in point of impact[poi] alternatively you could try a bsa ultra or one of the smaller brocock pcp,s,but you would have to extend your budget for charging gear :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
