It's great to see you again my friend. That's a beautiful rifle brother. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Looks very well made. Looking forward to your time in the woods. LoL. My Dad sometimes had that same welders tan. LoL. Much love and respect to you and Mrs Mad Dog Brother
Thanks brother! Yep me too! Can’t wait to get back up to the woods! Always good to hear from you my friend! Much love and respect as always brother hope your well! Best wishes Red 👍🏽👍🏽😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻👍🏽🙏🏼
It looks well made for a budget rifle. I love shooting myself both plinking and hunting. I currently have 5 rifles and 3 pistols. Some are budget and some are high end but I enjoy shooting them all. Recently had a operation so can't shoot for a few months but I am on the mend and hopefully be setting up a pistol range so I can have some fun till I can get out hunting again. Great review keep up the great videos they are helping keep me sane till I can get out and do some bushcraft and shooting ATB Paul
Firstly let me wish you a speedy recovery!! Thank you for your kind words! Yep can’t have too many rifles and pistols lol... I think things are starting to change now, keep your chin up mate we’ll soon be getting some dirt time in again 😎👍🏽👍🏽
Here in the U.S.A I ordered a Cometa 400 USC in .177 from Keystone Airguns in Pennsylvania, shooting H&N field target trophy pellets I can hit a 1 inch target dot at 27 yards right out of the box after sighting the scope in shot after shot, and later on, I tried JSB Exact Heavy, and shot even better., I love this COMETA!
Thanks again friend! Yep it’s a great little rifle not bad for the price! I enjoy airgun shooting, it’s a shame it’s been so over regulated though because of the few idiots again! 🙄 hope your well and having a good week! Best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎👌🏽
I was looking online at these Cometa's the other night and really liked the sound of them, just coincidence your v.good review came up in front of me tonight! It was the Cometa 300 and 400 especially that I saw online, didn't see any mention of this "name" though, "Fusion", is this same as the 300 or 400 does anyone know? Yes for the money, compared to Weirauch, Air Arms, BSA even, which I reckon are overpriced and wish they weren't! I'd say these are one of the lot better options for a realistically priced break barrell for wrinkly skint old sod like me! Cheers for good common sense vid bud!
Thanks very much mate. I believe the 400 is the same as the fusion but I believe the 300 has a different stock and barrel shroud. Yes I agree with you on the price point. Usually we get what we pay for but these rifles do seem to be good value for money. Thanks again. Best wishes 👍🏻👍🏻😎
I'm watching this review with interest, and in my case, I'm 'bolting the barn door after horses have gone' as I only yesterday order one of the Cometa Fusion rifles. The model I ordered is the Fusion Premium Star in .177 caliber. Now after watching this ( and other ) reviews, I'm looking forward to seeing how this performs for me. Thanks for this.
Excellent! Nice choice! I hope you enjoy your new rifle and it serves you well! Keep me posted how you get on with it please! Thanks for watching and commenting! Best wishes mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
When I was a boy we all had .177 gat guns! We used to fire them at each other like they do BB these days! After a game we'd be covered in black dots 😂 I gave my air rifle away to a lad up the road, .22 BSA Meteor, open sights. Great little video. All the best to you and yours 👍 👍 👍 🍻
Haha the gat gun ! I remember it well! Like a big spud gun! Unscrew the little prong at the back to put your pellet or whatever in and press the barrel down to set it ! 🤣🤣happy days! Hope your well brother best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
On my shooting day I had a AYA Yeoman ejector used to throw them well back 1/4 And 1/2 choke a fantastic gun to shoot 38 in barrels great one game birds 🐦 made t Buy the same firm
That should be enough to take out pheasants there eh Mr.Dog? I don't know if you have them there...we have an abundance of quail here and that would be more then enough to harvest one! Thanks for sharing this bruv! Cheers, Jerbs
Yep definitely! We have pheasants and various game birds. I like pigeon and squirrel myself! Thanks for your watching again brother 👍🏽best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
@@MadDogSurvival Pigeon eh!? That's called squab there right? Whàts his name hells kitchen guy... he talks that bird up! It's that good eh? I always looked at them as a pet...my grandfather raced them for so many years. But lots of people say they are good...red meat right? Anywho stay blessed brother look forward to hearing back from you when you get a moment! Cheers, Jerbs
Thanks brother! Yep red meat tasting like a mild beef. We shoot wood pigeons not racing pigeons or doves. A lot of laws over here governing what is classified as game and not. Yep I’d definitely recommend trying wood pigeon! Tasty goodness 👍🏽👍🏽😎
@@MadDogSurvival cool! That's what I thought! Thanks a ton for sharing this bruv love hearing the game from other parts of the world. Also I cant remember if I emailed you what I found out about sending you that package of fatwood...it would cost me roughly $50.00 dollars to send roughly a kilo to you. I cant afford this for now but will look into sending a smaller amount next time. I'm just learning what the cost of shipping around the world and now understand more now but don't you worry I'll figure it out one day soon! Anywho thanks again bruv...hope you and miss Maddog stay blessed my friend! Talk soon! Jerbs
@@MadDogSurvival lol no I’m not bored just trying to catch up! I’ve got to get ready for work. Work 5 at night until 6:00 a.m. had three days off I’m not wanting to go back lol
@@MadDogSurvival me too however I looking at buying a house so I’m assuming I’ll never be able to retire 😳😭lol oh well what else would I do but travel and see the world 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Well you’re home is your castle so if that’s what you’re looking to do you go for it lady 👌🏽👍🏽... life is about the journey not the destination! Wishing you health and happiness my friend 👍🏽😎
Gone are the days we used to sling a rifle over our shoulder and off up the hills for a bit of sport. No we were not safe in those days, but we were a lot lot fitter and healthier and wiser for it. Great video, you might have heard about the free ballistics program called Chairgun by Hawke, quite useful and quite accurate. Tc
We all did that and had a permission on two farms joining so a lot of walking and with some good crags to and we were up at the perm every four days and fitter and loved it and big heavy Hw 80s and 77s and came away carrying 12 and more rabbits and the odd pheasants and ducks and geese to but now 66 and I feel my age went out one night with a good mate and 100 yards knackered 😀 💙 ❤️ 😉
Hey Mad Dog, that's a nice air rifle. With spring rifles the lighter pellets like RWS Hobby, Bisley Practice etc actually give higher muzzle energy than the much heavier pellets. I'm not exactly sure why, but it must be to do with the dynamics of the firing cycle and the efficiency of energy transfer from the spring to the pellet. Maybe the inertia of a heavier pellet means the air gets more compressed behind it before the pellet moves causing more heating of the air and energy loss (?) That's just a theory.
That was a great review brother I do like it when you teach safety not a lot of people do that I commend you for that brother keep up the good job get some dirt time in and have some fun brother
Great video mad dog and a nice rifle you have there ohh how I miss my hw77 in 1.77 😢 but I must say I am impressed with your safety advice when I comes to holding on to the barrel when breaking it and loading it its an all to often never taught safety measure unfortunately and when it comes to only shooting with a back stop I completely agree that's how I was educated In shooting the only thing I would add is never shoot game on a crest of a hill as you don't know what is over that hill a house or even worse a person walking up the opposite side always have a back stop 👍
Thanks brother! The Weihrauch hw77 is still a good rifle! I had the webley eclipse equivalent at the time. Wished I still had it! Thanks for your watching and commenting! Best wishes mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Every Cometa review I have seen criticises the plastic trigger blade and guard, at the £300 price range a metal unit should be standard IMO. Maybe an after market unit will become available at some point or ASI / Cometa will take heed
Yep agree with you mate! Definitely a feature that is letting there range down! A good well proven record assembly would be just fine! Thanks for watching. Best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Nice Brother, all the plinking rules changed up here so need a license for all air rifles. I need to get mine again as I miss plinking. I remember buying the ox springs and upgrading the break barrels to max on the 12lbs lol they were the days It’s under the firearms certificate but I do believe they bare trying to implement it in England.. happy plinking Brother Stay safe ATB Del
Ridiculous times we’re in brother! Yep I remember the ox springs too, square section! Lol... we used to add pennies under the spring ends to get more power🙄🤣🤣 best wishes brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Oh yeah! Nice info for us novices Andy. Nice to see another video. Nice safety reminders brother. Helps to keep your suscribers alive for another video. I see some scoundrel has given a thumbs down.

@@MadDogSurvival You will always get the odd thumbs down, it means you have a channel worth bothering 🙂 Not that it should bother you, I will take all the thumbs down I can get 🙂 👍
Hi Andy,hope you are both well.Good vid.Hey,you'll love one of mine...a CAREER ...98lb psi.it has 3 dial up pressures ..yellow,green and Red.you can change the barrel and 8 shot loader over to a 9mm barrel and a single 9mm load...lol. They use them for hunting Wild Boar.heehee. Gary
A lighter pellet works better in a 12ft/lbs rifle , 13 to 14 gr , will produce a much flatter trajectory and it will be more accurate. Cheers good video Dog
@MadDogSurvival I've been looking at the Cometa 220 with silencer . It's not full powered I believe, I've always used .22, but I fancy this one in .177 , which would suit also backyard shooting, Cheers Dog .
Are Silencers no longer legal in the UK. I know they're not in Irland. I've owned many Air rifles and Although I've not shot for some time. I still own a BSA lightning with a synthetic black tactical stock with silencer and a 4-12 x 48 NIkkon sight. I've owned a Webly tracker, Arm arms TX200 HC, BSA Meteor, Theoben Fenman, Theoben Rapid 12 / 22 profile Precharged and a good 10 others that I can't remember as it was years ago. I've also owned FAC Theoben Eliminator (didn't like that gun) and a 22 Rugar Rimfire all legally of course. FAC laws in the UK are so over the top, just as bad as our knife laws. I have many good and fun memories of shooting with my Dad over the years before he died. He was into his shotgun clay pigeon shooting, something I didn't enjoy that much. Be nice to see some of your other guns m8. They definitely play their part in bushcraft as long as used legally and on land with permission. From back garden plinking to Precharge hunting, many hours of fun can be had for a small amount of cost upfront and most importantly it gets you outside away from the computer or games console. Thxs for the memories this video brought back.
Thanks brother! Sounds like you have plenty of experience and fond memories from shooting too! Yes silencers/moderators are legal over here but I believe they come with a extensive paperwork exercise! 🙄 I’ll definitely be doing more shooting type videos as I go along, although CZcams doesn’t like it, it’s one of my favourite hobbies. Thanks for sharing your comment brother! I appreciate it! Best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Great rifle but fastening is it good or great never had much to do with that type of latch up, but found a local dealer that sells Asi rifles 20 minutes away
great video and a great rifle does the muzzle break unscrew as if it does what is the thread and could it be the right thread for a moderator as i would go that way, but still a great video
Thanks mate! Yes the muzzle break unscrews but behind it is a spring type arrangement that sits in a form of baffling slots, Comets sat this is to reduce recoil and muzzle rise. I haven’t taken mine off as yet so I’m not sure on the thread size. Sorry I can’t help on this at present, I’m sure there will be info on this somewhere. I believe Cometa have great customer response so they might be worth asking directly. Thanks very much for your watching mate very best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Realy quick. What sort of humane accuracy range do you get out of this rifle? Obviously shot placement is important. Also. Hows the trajectory at medium ranges?
I usually don’t go past 30 yards, not because of the rifle but because I’m badly out of practice and the woods I shoot in pretty much determines my effective range. At these distances with a heavy pellet I can take squirrels, pigeons and rabbits humanely. I zero my scope in at around 15 yards and then I know I can hold over by around the head of a pigeon and know I’ll get a good shot. So to answer your question I think the trajectory is arcing up and levels out at around 30-35 yards. ……. If I remember correctly!! I’ve not shot this rifle for ages now! 🙄…. Hope this helps! Best wishes mate 👍🏻👍🏻😎
I’m no airgun expert mate I can only speak from my own experiences and I can honestly say that with practice this rifle at sensible ranges performs as well as my air arms s410 regarding accuracy, that maybe due to my own lack of skill, but for me it’s more than adequate 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Looks like quality, shame about the plastic trigger. It's illegal to hunt with any air rifle here in Finland. Easier to obtain a FAC though but you also need a separate permit to be able to hunt too. Great review and information mate. All the best
Thanks for the video. If you allready have in your break barrel collection the Diana 350, Walther LGV ,HW98, and SigSauer ASP20 , the cometa fenix will contribute to this family? mainly in terms of accurracy to paper target, I have my springers with Vortek kit, really worth it aat that case? the looks is nice.
@@justusupnorth8262 probably would need a strip down with new seals and mainspring. I took my late grandads old Diana apart some years ago, the internals hadn't seen the light of day since 1930. Surprisingly the spring was fine, so i just cleaned it up , regreased and put a new piston and breech seal in, courtesy of John Knibbs
the fusion is a more fancy version of the fenix are those scope arrestor holes actually big enough to fit the arrestor pin? I know they're too small on the fenix
Thanks! They do go in but it’s tight I spent some time on the pin with a piece of wet/dry paper carefully and just enough to allow it to go in more easily. Not ideal out of the box! Thanks for watching and commenting best wishes 👍🏽😎
@@MadDogSurvival Yep, its either that or drill bigger holes in the gun which is not something i'd want to do. I'd have thought cometa would have noticed this , tut ! It does have a pretty good two stage trigger though. Many otherwise good air rifles are ruined by poor triggers
That’s a tough question mate! I think the trigger is better on the crossman, as in built better, but heavier than the cometa on pull...but I’d personally say that the barrel is better quality on the cometa, but I do like the iron sight option on the crossman too! (if you prefer open sight shooting) .... I believe they are both similar in power, for me it would boil down to two things... the price... which I believe the crossman is available more easily at cheaper price points....and secondly how it feels, this is why I choose to spend a bit more and went for the fusion! Plus it’s nice to own something a little different! .... if I were you I’d want to see them both side by side and shoot them a little bit, so off to the gun shops (when open again 🙄) either way I wish you happy and safe shooting my friend 👍🏽👍🏽😎 p.s.... quick foot note, I’d also say both of these have quite loud muzzle reports! With the fusion being slightly less noisy!!! Just incase your a back yard shooter! 👍🏽😎
It's great to see you again my friend.
That's a beautiful rifle brother. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

@MadDogSurvival I've been looking at the Cometa 220 with silencer . It's not full powered I believe, I've always used .22, but I fancy this one in .177 , which would suit also backyard shooting, Cheers Dog .
Yeah I’ve seen that too, looks like a great backyard plinker without getting on the neighbours nerves lol 👍🏻😎
Are Silencers no longer legal in the UK. I know they're not in Irland. I've owned many Air rifles and Although I've not shot for some time. I still own a BSA lightning with a synthetic black tactical stock with silencer and a 4-12 x 48 NIkkon sight. I've owned a Webly tracker, Arm arms TX200 HC, BSA Meteor, Theoben Fenman, Theoben Rapid 12 / 22 profile Precharged and a good 10 others that I can't remember as it was years ago. I've also owned FAC Theoben Eliminator (didn't like that gun) and a 22 Rugar Rimfire all legally of course. FAC laws in the UK are so over the top, just as bad as our knife laws. I have many good and fun memories of shooting with my Dad over the years before he died. He was into his shotgun clay pigeon shooting, something I didn't enjoy that much. Be nice to see some of your other guns m8. They definitely play their part in bushcraft as long as used legally and on land with permission. From back garden plinking to Precharge hunting, many hours of fun can be had for a small amount of cost upfront and most importantly it gets you outside away from the computer or games console. Thxs for the memories this video brought back.
Thanks brother! Sounds like you have plenty of experience and fond memories from shooting too! Yes silencers/moderators are legal over here but I believe they come with a extensive paperwork exercise! 🙄 I’ll definitely be doing more shooting type videos as I go along, although CZcams doesn’t like it, it’s one of my favourite hobbies. Thanks for sharing your comment brother! I appreciate it! Best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
I think I need to get another Air-rifle
Can’t have to many brother! Thanks for watching again! I appreciate it! Best wishes mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Cracking video fella, not a bad gun Tbf pal. Maybe a video of the mad dogs collection is in order Hahaha.
Thanks mate! Yep it’s not bad. I’ll show my other stuff as we go along.... well some of it anyway 😉👍🏽 best wishes mate 😎
Nice one brother, good information Atb Andy
Thanks brother! Hope your well mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Great rifle but fastening is it good or great never had much to do with that type of latch up, but found a local dealer that sells Asi rifles 20 minutes away
Nice one mate! Best wishes friend 👍🏻👍🏻😎
great video and a great rifle does the muzzle break unscrew as if it does what is the thread and could it be the right thread for a moderator as i would go that way, but still a great video
Thanks mate! Yes the muzzle break unscrews but behind it is a spring type arrangement that sits in a form of baffling slots, Comets sat this is to reduce recoil and muzzle rise. I haven’t taken mine off as yet so I’m not sure on the thread size. Sorry I can’t help on this at present, I’m sure there will be info on this somewhere. I believe Cometa have great customer response so they might be worth asking directly. Thanks very much for your watching mate very best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Thanks for the reply I will try more directly.
No problem! Let me know how you get on please my friend 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Realy quick. What sort of humane accuracy range do you get out of this rifle? Obviously shot placement is important.
Also. Hows the trajectory at medium ranges?
I usually don’t go past 30 yards, not because of the rifle but because I’m badly out of practice and the woods I shoot in pretty much determines my effective range. At these distances with a heavy pellet I can take squirrels, pigeons and rabbits humanely. I zero my scope in at around 15 yards and then I know I can hold over by around the head of a pigeon and know I’ll get a good shot. So to answer your question I think the trajectory is arcing up and levels out at around 30-35 yards. ……. If I remember correctly!! I’ve not shot this rifle for ages now! 🙄…. Hope this helps! Best wishes mate 👍🏻👍🏻😎
@MadDogSurvival outstanding. I've read very good things about these rifles. Far better than any gamo, bsa or uramex etc?
I’m no airgun expert mate I can only speak from my own experiences and I can honestly say that with practice this rifle at sensible ranges performs as well as my air arms s410 regarding accuracy, that maybe due to my own lack of skill, but for me it’s more than adequate 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Looks like quality, shame about the plastic trigger. It's illegal to hunt with any air rifle here in Finland. Easier to obtain a FAC though but you also need a separate permit to be able to hunt too.
Great review and information mate.
All the best
Thanks brother! Thanks for your information too! Interesting how different countries do things! Hope your well up there! Best wishes mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Thanks for the video. If you allready have in your break barrel collection the Diana 350, Walther LGV ,HW98, and SigSauer ASP20 , the cometa fenix will contribute to this family? mainly in terms of accurracy to paper target, I have my springers with Vortek kit, really worth it aat that case? the looks is nice.
Thanks mate ! Sounds like a great collection of yours! Enjoy your shooting 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Nice looking air rifle.
I have a Diana that dates to pre WW 2,it still shoots but not very powerful anymore though.
Nice one mate! Nice to have some older stuff in the collection! They have plenty of character! Best wishes mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
is it a model 27 ?
@@46FreddieMercury91 don’t know the model, only stamping on it say 5 1/3 mm
@@justusupnorth8262 probably would need a strip down with new seals and mainspring. I took my late grandads old Diana apart some years ago, the internals hadn't seen the light of day since 1930. Surprisingly the spring was fine, so i just cleaned it up , regreased and put a new piston and breech seal in, courtesy of John Knibbs
the fusion is a more fancy version of the fenix
are those scope arrestor holes actually big enough to fit the arrestor pin? I know they're too small on the fenix
Thanks! They do go in but it’s tight I spent some time on the pin with a piece of wet/dry paper carefully and just enough to allow it to go in more easily. Not ideal out of the box! Thanks for watching and commenting best wishes 👍🏽😎
@@MadDogSurvival Yep, its either that or drill bigger holes in the gun which is not something i'd want to do. I'd have thought cometa would have noticed this , tut ! It does have a pretty good two stage trigger though. Many otherwise good air rifles are ruined by poor triggers
Cool.
Thanks brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Very nice air rifle, licenses ?
Thanks! No licenses required as stated in the video! Best wishes 👍🏽😎
@@MadDogSurvival oh good, I hate gun laws. Where I live i can legally carry concealed loaded firearms.
Excellent! 👍🏽👍🏽😎
I have a Gamo Air rifle Raptor .22 cal 1000fps with a 4x32 scope.
Nice one sister 👍🏽👍🏽😎
@@MadDogSurvival Alaska Prepper said it would be a good one for hunting small game.
Yep definitely! 👍🏽👍🏽😎
What did you fill your bench rest bags with Mad Dog just got myself some of those and was wondering what to fill them with❔ thanks 👍
I used driveway kiln dried sand mate 👍🏽😎
Thanks Mad Dog much appreciated mate 👍
No problem mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Which one is best comeeta fusion or crossman optimus sir i am waiting for your response
That’s a tough question mate! I think the trigger is better on the crossman, as in built better, but heavier than the cometa on pull...but I’d personally say that the barrel is better quality on the cometa, but I do like the iron sight option on the crossman too! (if you prefer open sight shooting) .... I believe they are both similar in power, for me it would boil down to two things... the price... which I believe the crossman is available more easily at cheaper price points....and secondly how it feels, this is why I choose to spend a bit more and went for the fusion! Plus it’s nice to own something a little different! .... if I were you I’d want to see them both side by side and shoot them a little bit, so off to the gun shops (when open again 🙄) either way I wish you happy and safe shooting my friend 👍🏽👍🏽😎 p.s.... quick foot note, I’d also say both of these have quite loud muzzle reports! With the fusion being slightly less noisy!!! Just incase your a back yard shooter! 👍🏽😎
@@MadDogSurvival thanks for your valuable response
Anytime! Hope it helps a little 👍🏽👍🏽😎
What is his fps ?
Around 750 to 850 fps depending on the weight of the pellet (in .22) 👍🏽😎
Whats price of this gun sir??
Around £200-£250 👍🏻😎
@@MadDogSurvival 250 euros ??
English pounds sterling 👍🏻😎
I like the airguns but not the far right imagery
What Far right imagery???
Weihrauch or nothing!
Yep they are good. I have a couple. I still prefer AirArms myself though, probably just because they are English made lol… best wishes mate
