- Today we take a look at quite possibly the easiest to shoot spring gun that I've ever shot. The mighty Accumax!
Many thanks to A-S-I for providing the rifle for this video.

I completely disagree with you on this one , I think it look absolutely stunning .. no .. I ain't been drinking , I'm just really taken by the looks .. I love it ...
Hey Mark!
Hahaha it's a marmite rifle this one, love it or hate it. It's like the wood finish it looks fantastic but...it's plastic.. my mind can't quite get over that.
When it comes to how it shoots though it's phenomenal Mark.
Great gun, we were very impressed with these when brought one by ASI - looking forward to getting our first batch into the shop
Hi Rebecca!
They're a great rifle aren't they? Ours definitely outshot me not that it's saying much haha.
I don't think we'll be getting many complaints about these Rebecca that's for sure!
Armskon TXG01is exactly the same rifle in gas ram all this rubbish about ÀSI having the accumax made to there exact standards pellpax sells them for £99

Hi David.
The Armskon isn't the Accumax despite the similar/same stock as you've said. The Accumax is a springer that yes was designed with A-S-I's influence. Hence why there's zero twang (much like with Cometa due to A-S-I's requirements).
The only similarities are the stock and the standard trigger which A-S-I have told Accumax to refine for their rifle. Still waiting to see if that comes to pass.
Just wanted to back up f Dan on how accurate this gun is. First time with it shooting out to this range.
45 yard through a 1 1/4" hole to hit 🔔 and bagged it on first shot. Bear in mind I'd just zeroed at 25 meters and just gave it 2 mil dot hold over. 🎯. .22 using a veyron 3-9 x 32 scope and Excite hammer pellets.
It's about as simple as you can get and I love it.
I was betting which would come first Easter or your Next Video. 🤔🤔🤔 I lost on Easter 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good to see you back mate.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hahaha hey Yeti!
Yep hoping to get our next video out ASAP already filming again today.
Hi Dan. what a relief it is to see a proper review of a proper airgun after watching some of that 'shot show' crap. They're obsessed with power and 'tactical', I tells ya! I mean, .. .72 cal?!! Anyway, fabulous review and my first thought was, 'Ooh, that's different, ..I like it and yaaaay, good for lefties too. I've never had a synthetic stock rifle, just wondering how 'plastic-y' it feels, because I feel I may have to have one of these at some point, because it seems like a good bit of kit!
I'd far rather accuracy to power. You need accuracy first to hit a rat and any air rifle will have enough power for that. How much power do you really need to kill a tin can?
RWS Super Field perform superbly in all my guns from 3x BSA Ultras through Gunpower Shadow 2, AA S400 down to all 6x QB rifles 78/79/2079 all six on regulated HPA. Even my Webley Typhoon pistol loves them. You just cannot beat them for performance/value for money in my rifles.
I agree with the others, good video. The stock grew on me, quiet all the way around, from cooking to shooting. May have to add one to my battery of air weapons, just because it is different. Good little gun just to buck around the farm. Scott in USA
Nice to see you back Dan, looks a bargain at that price. Is it better than the Remington Express, similar price point. Very good free hand shooting Dan, for the money & warranty looks like a cracking buy.
Hi Brandon!
Out of my experience with both I'd say the Express has the better trigger but the Accumax is more accurate and much easier to shoot too.
The absolute worst bit of that video Brandon was when I was done and had the camera packed away I had a few shots freestanding at 42 yards and I'm usually a terrible freestanding shot.. but I had possibly an even better group than sitting down!
A Springer that doesn't cost the earth and accurate, shame that the trigger isn't adjustable, but like you have said, time to get the oil stone on those sears. Great review.
Thanks Iwan!
How was that for a surprise! I wasn't all that massively interested when I saw the stock but when you shoulder it the whole thing starts making sense.
Accurate, powerful, excellent handling and a lifetime warranty without needing a mortgage to fund it. Can't complain about that!
Hold the sear in an engineers clamp to keep the correct angle and use a flat diamond plate. Polish not grind. If you get the angle wrong a sear may slip off the piston if the gun is knocked. Knife edge but like a good dinner knife not a razor. 😉
Very impressive at the price actually. Hated the looks at first but it grew on me a bit as I saw it shoot so nicely. lol
Hi Derek!
You're the exact same as me, I didn't like the stock or the silly nameplate in the side but over time it actually starts to grow on you.
It's ridiculously accurate isn't it! For a £150 gun I'd put it even against even the big brand stuff. Can't beat that warranty neither!
Big Dan I’m a ‘Traditionalist’ and just a bit of a gun snob , but , I have 5 grandsons. Keeping my gallery out back interesting can be expensive.. I always enjoy seeing the affordable and (interesting to younger shooters) air guns as well as gems from the ‘top shelf’. Besides, I see things here I’ve never heard of here in the US , but that’s just me and I’m getting pretty old.
Hey Ray!
You're only as old as you feel matey which probably puts you younger than me!
The budget sector always has the most interesting stuff in my opinion for better or worse, they tend to have the funkier designs and sometimes something wacky looking like the Accumax can really work!
Thanks Ray!
A fantastic rifle and at that price its a winner and with the right pellet.a great video to thanks Dan 😅❤
Good to see you back on here Dan great review and great little gun 👍🏻
I like the design. But I like the accuracy more. It's very tempting. As your reviews really reveal what the guns you test are all about. I bought a Remington express compact after your review. I wasn't disappointed. I think this one looks a really good buy as well.
Hey unmissable!
How are you finding the little Express they're a great little gun aren't they?
You won't be disappointed by the Accumax, it might be a bigger gun than the Compact but it's even easier to shoot. They shoulder perfectly despite the odd looks and you can't complain about the warranty at all. Brilliant rifles.
@@bigdansairguns83 I really like the compact express, as my first springer it was ideal, as it was easy to hold on target, and was very forgiving when it came to firing it. It wasn't touch sensitive in the least. I got good results right from the start. I am 5' 11" but it seemed perfect. I think that because it was lighter and smaller it allowed me to develop that artillery hold much more naturally then might otherwise be the case. Your review was spot on. The accumax looks like it behaves in a very similar way. I like the looks because it is not over the top . Some guns look a little too much like replica tactical weapons if you get my meaning. This one looks more practical and ergonomic as an actual air rifle. But the accuracy interests me the most. Although you are a great shot. It still looks like a good rifle for both experienced and inexperienced shooters alike.I going to have to save up my pennies.
@@unmissable
The Accumax is a great rifle and it'd make an interesting comparison shooting it compared to the more traditional Express. It's definitely worth having a go at one as it's such a great performer for peanuts compared to other rifles. The same story as the Express!
May be getting this rifle today, saw one very similar in my local gun store chambered in .22
Whatever i see though in .22 I’ll buy 🤣
Watching these videos makes you want one 🤣
Hahaha careful Rhys we'll get you ya know. It's a fantastic rifle you'll genuinely be shocked by how accurate it is.
@@bigdansairguns83 ended up getting a mil bro explorer but watched your review on that too and had a go and it’s fantastic too
@@FishingWivRhys The Explorer is a great little rifle, not as easy to shoot as the Accumax but it has a better trigger and a proper little adjustable unit too. Very smooth to shoot.
I would of rather have a moderator on the end like the Remington sabre/express think it just looks better
I have already had my chat with you about this particular Rifle.
Oh no there's something in my mouth
and it's not my foot.
But I must say some very impressive shooting there Young Daniel.
See you soon fella
Great video Dan . Good starter for some one , is it neighbour friendly doesnt look like you can put a sound moderator on . No one can say you dont do cheap and cheerful air rifles .
Hey Steven!
I'd genuinely rather review the cheaper stuff I find it's unfairly neglected as most are only interested in the latest £2000 rifles. It's not a loud rifle to be fair and I'm sure with a heat gun that barrel weight/glob/thing would slide straight off so you could fit a slip over silencer.
Another brilliant review must try one in 177 I have a request would you test a S M K Artemis SR900S in 177 please
Hi Christopher!
I can matey I'd love to give one a look. I have shot the SR900S in the past but I'm not the biggest fan personally. It's a great idea and the new models could be improved compared to the older versions but they used to kick like mules and have nasty twang as the spring was in the tube right next to your ear.
That said I'd definitely take a look at a newer one.
I like its design. It looks like a gun, not like a bunch of scaffolding or something made by a plumber.
Very good shooting unrested, I still cant believe thats a £150 rifle. you mention that ASI will be at the shooting show do you know if they will be selling the accumax there?
Great video dan,just watched the fx one too🤣agree its an ugly thing not a fsn of the back bottle unless its the kral for the money cant go wrong with that.churning the vids out bud🙌😂👍
Hahaha Hey Alv!
I'd take this over the FX to be honest which i know may be blasphemy to some. The FX just confused me as I couldn't for the life of me figure out the thought process behind that cheekpiece. Even the power adjuster was designed to be as awkward as possible.
Then the price! £1200?! It's nicely made make no mistake but there's far superior offerings at that money.
Hi Dan, found your channel today and immediately lost 2hrs to it.
At 47, looking to buy my first air gun as we've moved to a house in the sticks where rabbit is on the menu and rats are off the charts.
This rifle looks like it's accuracy(minus my inexperience) at both target distances was pretty damn good....then...I came across your review of Remington Sabre from 3 years ago.
As a newbie, is it worth holding out for the trigger tweak on this to bring it in line with the Sabre?
Or am I comparing eggs with apples?
Thanks for your very thorough and interesting content.
Top marks 👍
Hey OleKing!
Thanks for getting in touch and for enjoying our videos I hope they've been helping! Also what a great area you're in especially if you have plenty of rabbits for the pot running around!
The Sabre has a better trigger at the moment however the Accumax is definitely the easier rifle to shoot well even with the current mediocre trigger. For me I'd choose the Accumax and more so once the next batch are in. The only issue is that I don't know when those will be here.
But for me... It's Accumax no doubt!
@@bigdansairguns83 Great, thanks Dan. I'll keep my eyes peeled and on your website for updates.
Looks like a nice little rifle, dead tidy.
Hey Robert!
They're a great little rifle and the performance we got out of it was unreal at the price.
Not a lover of the but looks wrong but its bang on for power. You can't go wrong for the money with a lifetime guarantee 👍
Hey Jeff!
I agree it's a bit lasergun isn't it? But I won't lie it genuinely grows on you when you realise why it was designed that way. It's a fantastic thing to shoulder as it basically holds itself as cheesy as that sounds. Laser accurate too!
I have many air guns, this is a fantastic budget gun. I actually like the looks of this 👍🏻
Just subbed, watched loads of your videos.
Down to earth testing and no bs, cheers dan 👍🏻
For 150$ 🤷♂️😂 doesn’t matter what it really looks like if they want a airgun that works well and has a lifetime warranty as well. Win win💯
Statistics - it is only necessary to have n=6 so v=5 for good statistics sampling. More samples will not "improve" the statistics. I.e. you really only need six shots to work out the spread, not dozens of them. More shots will not improve the spread s.d. You could for example sample six over the chrono at any time during a shooting session. Shooting a long string over the chrono you will of course see a new gun warming up and settling down. After it has settled down is the time to pull off six sample shots for the spread s.d.
Statistics is difficult, a lot of people cannot even pronounce the word. If you torture statistics hard enough it will confess to anything.
I bet you, for the briefest time at least, Accumax triggers will be the best in the world.
They're not there now.. but we'll see when the next batch gets here. They only need a bit of a tweak so there's less creep in the second stage.
Like it but get that lump of plastic off it unless it shoots better on .
Sir will you test the 0.177 one sir would love to see what it do in that one in 0.177 please sir
Hi Dan
Purchased the accumax recently after you're review.
Fitted hawk sights rws superdome 14.5g pellets at 18mtrs shooting 2inch low ans sight wont adjust any lower,any suggestions.
Hi Jeffrey.
I'd try a different scope just in case the scope is damaged. If the same problem persists look down the action and check the barrel alignment just to check if it's off.
Have a look and let me know how you get on.
Nice one captain
so a 150 quid gun has half the FPS spread as a AA TX 200 you tested !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍😎
Birmingham steel properly made webleys.
Dan is a salesman, never trust a word that comes out of his mouth.
It's true, I took a big bag of money from Accumax before I started filming.
I also learned how to hack chronographs, the accuracy test section? Despite the fact you can clearly see me shooting from the background that's actually the uncle shooting the target with his .243 Howa 1500. I just edited out the muzzle blast.
@@bigdansairguns83 😂👍
Where i can buy one in EU € ?
Get a twang from my remington pest controller
Love and value your reviews but get rid of the home made target holder 😂
It's an odd one... it might not be the prettiest but it has outlasted all of our other holders. We did use a card holder/pellet catcher too but that looks like its been hit with a 50 cal the back is completely destroyed haha.
We'll see what we can do.
Armskon TXG01is exactly the same rifle in gas ram all this rubbish about ÀSI having the accumax made to there exact standards pellpax sells them for £99
That depends if ASI have told them to fit a spring instead of a gas ram doesn't it
Pellpax Have a few ex-display models without any warranty for that price
Diana, Accumax and Cometa ruin their guns with huge plastic sculptures as foresights, if they made them neater they'd triple their sales.
It doesn't have a lot a power Is very low
Hey Bud!
We're limited to sub 12ft-lbs here in the UK so it's right up to power for us over here. It'll no doubt have more power in other countries.
What is full name of that gun?
Like it very much
