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

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: :good: :good:
