HEAD OR NOTHING Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hey everyone wondering what you think off the umarex 850 air magnum I know it's co2 powered but everone of my airgunning mags had said it's a 11 ftibs but drops to 9 and a half in cold, Wondering if you think it's worth gettting one for hunting It's really light and in the field test it did really well thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yes co2 power changes in different weather tempratures , yes it will do the job no matter if the ft lbs goes up or down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 i use a ratcatcher for all my airgunning (targets and pest contol), it does the job very well In my opinion CO2 is very underrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEAD OR NOTHING Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 What kind of distances do you shoot with the ratcather And what at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 What kind of distances do you shoot with the ratcatherAnd what at about 25 yards, im compfortable at taking quarry at further distances but i dont as a matter of principle mainly rabbits, but with the odd squizzer or pigeon aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniper22 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 must be just me then thinks that co2 is ****. buy a proper air gun and get away from the bulb buying. arnold - "it will do the job no matter if the ft lbs goes up or down" a rather sweeping statement isnt it? how can you be sure? max muzzle energy = max downrange kinetic energy. when i squeeze the trigger, i know its going down to stay.

killer rabbit (r1000) Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hey everyone wondering what you think off the umarex 850 air magnum I know it's co2 powered but everone of my airgunning mags had said it's a 11 ftibs but drops to 9 and a half in cold,Wondering if you think it's worth gettting one for hunting It's really light and in the field test it did really well thanks got the same one myself in .177, shortened the barrell & had a thread cut onto the end for a silencer . shoots like a dream, accurate for 35 yards, but is affected by environmental temperature. this doesn't pose a problem though, just the power goes down a little, also can be a little expensive on airsource bottles. try to cut your costs by buying in bulk & find a good quality pellet, you shouldn't have a problem...
