Great job Travis! Always good to see you out shooting and thanks for taking us along!
Good review. I have had one for about a year now. found it in a pawn shop for fifty dollars, and after deep cleaning, adding an inexpensive rimfire scopes and dialing in, is remarkable accurate. Where I live, cannot shoot firearms within city limits but I can shoot this air rifle in my yard, and so plinking at squirrels and crows is hella fun!
BTW, if you take that plastic pic rail off, there is a metal dovetail rail under it, with a scope stop. One of mine, I removed it, added a one piece Monstrum scope mount with a scope stop pin and nave had zero issues with it moving around.
How do you remove it
@@user-rn3vz8we9k hmmmmm, it was 4 years ago, I don't remember. CZcams it, maybe?
That’s false information
I've put 10k shots through mine. Love this thing. Took the stock off, tightened up the fit with some layers of gorilla tape as needed. Changed out the trigger spring with one from a ballpoint pen. Was a 3 or 4 lb pull, it's a hair trigger now.
Have fun!
Excellent, good shooting and rifle review. Thanks.
i really love the wood stocks on air rifles gives them some nice character
Excellent Review Travis, Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
Bought the same air rifle but with the scope package a few years ago and it works well for my uses. I can get about a sub 2 inch group at 35 yards with the right ammo, and that's good enough to get rid of the starlings at my feeders.
silhouette target with 7/10 shots.
The only issue I've had is the lug forearm becomes loose and the barrel/action moves back and forth about 1/8 inch after about 100 shots, so I'm having to retighten the lug every 100 shots or so and recheck zero.
Overall, I'm happy I bought it and it's served me well.
Great looking stock! Like you, I'd be worried about the plastic rail. There have been lots of issues on the Ruger Blackhawk Elite II of that rail breaking etc.
New subscriber…. Really enjoying the channel! 💯
Awesome, thank you!
Looks good Like it 👍
Looks like a nice handy rifle.
Thanks Gary. Hope you're doing good man!
I'm planning to get one myself.
Looks nice. Don't really like the scope rail but overall good and good shooting.
Thanks Chuck!
Looks decent! 🤘🤘
I love it
Dang good group if u ask me
I am really not a fan of the plastic rail either but I kinda do like the fact that it looks like a Ruger if the sun is going down and you squint a bit! Hha
Great gun, I own two of them. One of mine just killed a Hammers magnum spring rated scope. Put a Winchester on there for now and bought another Hammers, for if that Winchester takes a crap.
They say you're supposed to use a scope rated for air guns. I have a Tru Glo dot site on this same pellet gun and it's worked for over a 100 shots now.
@@lakerdigital the Hammers scopes I use are airgun rated. They are actually Magnum spring rated.
Man that thing is a machine gun!
Almost as accurate as one in my hands
I'm wanting one.
I've been seeing it at the local Wallyworld. Shy'd away from it after getting the Crossman Shockwave, plus it's a few $$$ more! That one seems way more accurate though!
It took a while to get this one to shoot and it's not quite there either. I wish Crosman would go back to more traditional rifles. It's hard for me to get into anything their making right now.
@ohshoot444 I think the future is definitely going to be PCP, however I'm still having the most fun with the R1 followed by the Legacy!
@chrislang5659 I think I probably shoot my old b3 and pumpers more than anything. I definitely hunt more with pumpers.
I bought one of those at Wal-mart above five years ago and it's very similar to the one you have but without the plastic rail on top. It's called Impact Max, that's it, not elite or whatever. Anyway, it's a pretty decent rifle, very accurate for sure, but the barrel does need to be cleaned, and mount a good air rifle scope on it, then it's quite good and plenty of power. The only thing I don't like is the very small stock, you can't get a good cheek rest on it when a scope is mounted, stock is just too small/short in height. I kind of quit using that rifle since I got the Daisy 822 and installed the hop up parts from the 1977XS (brings it up to 700fps).
My two cents??? I was impressed. Of course I have no experience with break barrel pellet guns. And havent gone out with it yet, but that first cock was damn!,…….. then that first trigger pull, was dayummmm !!!
Where can I get those pellets. I plan on getting one. I am doing research on ut before I get it seems like it's a really good pellet gun. Probably gonna get one
I think you can get them from Amazon. Also the RWS domed pellets did pretty good. They’re all different though unfortunately.

Is the comb low enough to get your eye down to the sights easily?
I tried a Benjamin Durango 22 and returned it because the comb was too high, making the sights completely unusable for me.
This one is pretty comfy and I’ve got a big head.
Mine shoots pretty good,800 fps
I have it, but terrible groups.
Got a little bit older air hawk.177 shoots spot on for first 3 shots after that it starts going all over the place target ends up looking like it was hit with a shotgun, very big disappointment
That sounds like a seal.
@@ohshoot444 it’s a mystery, the seal looks perfect but still could be the problem, sounds like a good excuse to get me wchronograph to measure and see if it’s losing fps
What about the crown? I had another older Ruger that was like that. Ended up cutting like 4" off the barrel before it'd group. I just put it in the trash lol.
@@ohshoot444 first 3 or shots shoots really good groups then it’s straight down hill if you keep shooting, kinda thinking it’s due to the barrel heating up it does it every time it’s got little over a tin run through it it should be broken in , cleaned barrel doesn’t help anything it’s a very strong shooter just a almost lemon 😂 anyways I got a b3 coming in a couple days interested in how a fixed barrel will perform
That's strange my box says it's made in the United States maybe you got a model before they changed over from China
Why is it advertised at 1050fps ?
They shoot really light pellets through there to claim higher power. But most manufacturers are a little full of it.
This is about as much as I would spend on an air rifle guys spend 500+ on some and for me at that point it’s like just buy a real gun
I just got a Gamo uh, Hunter Extreme Pro I think? About $250 on sale and DEFINITELY worth it. Nice, big beechwood stock, metal rail that's made for high powered gas pistons (I think it slides or something, I don't know, don't have a scope), nice adjustable open sights...
It's also kind of heavy, and add to that it popping 14-15 grain pellets at a solid 1100 fps. It honestly feels like shooting a proper rifle. In fact, I've shot some .22s that felt more like a bb gun than this thing. All that to say, if I was going to spend any more, I'd definitely just buy a .22 or something. Getting up into that $500 pcp range is ridiculous unless you live somewhere that doesn't allow proper firearms.
Is it rifled or smooth?
Rifled
Is it CO2?
No
😉🇳🇱👍
I just bought one and it not worth what you have to pay for it I can't hit anything with it I will never buy anything else but a gamo 100 times better .
It took a couple of tins to get mine to hit anything. It’s a fun rifle now though. I agree it is not accurate.
One of the worst triggers I have ever pulled. It runs all over the map with several different pellet brands. So far it's horrible. Not what I would expect from Umarex or Ruger.
There should be no plastic on any gun. I have a couple with the same sights and they wouldn’t hold up to the abuse we used to put on them back in the day. Still have a Benjamin and a Sheridan
I don’t buy any Chinese rifles
Congrats!
oh shoot whats your email the umerax emerge is shooting really bad groups at only 20 yards and i want to send you a picture of the groups and do you know why it could be doing that?
@@eddiecahall3824 yea i stay away from the break barrel i love pcps alot more but i wanted to give it to my brother and i just could not get it to preform well at all
