any opinions

[what rabbit]

just seen a cometa fenix 400 carbine 12lb

looks like a decent price, any one know this rifle ?

I've got a mate with the standard barrel version & he's v happy with it.

The only minor criticism of them, of which I've heard but not experienced, is that the mainspring is a bit on the poor side & that there's more than the average that break.

I don't know if these comments are justified.

You wouldn't think it when, in their home country, they're intended to put out something like 20 fpe.

Still, plenty of aftermarket springs available if the worst happens.

I'd probably go for the silenced carbine version

I got one as part of a deal when I bought a gun cabinet. I reckon for the money it is a good springer. Doesn't get much use as I have two PCPs.

 

I also got a Cometa 220 S in the same deal, I'll probably sell that complete with a cheap scope and slip, any ideas on value welcome.
