JTS Airguns Airacuda Max Reviews

Looks and feel, accurate, fun shooting

Nothing

Check your barrel mine was loose

Good balance and adjustable cheek rest is nice, very accurate. Mine developed a leak so I sent it back to JTS and the were great fixed the problem and had it back very quickly. My rifle is the 25cal

It's pretty heavy

The JTS is a great bang for the buck, its very accurate and delievers a lot of power.

I would like a more tune friendly version and maybe more shots per fill up!

Don't rely on JTS when you need help, they will not return phone call or answer emails. Pyramyd was very helpful when it came to backing this product and answering questions!

Very accurate when it works as advertised.

Build quality and parts not too good. Build quality equates to a $200 rifle.

Alot of people in the JTS fb group are having problems with this model. Kinda sad, I had high hopes for JTS. They seem to be putting out products before they work out all the bugs. If had it to do over again I would order from a different comapny. This was my first pcp and most likely my last.

The gun

Where I order it from. Leaked from the case and all 20 zeros were done in 35 seconds span. Got leak test still didn't hold air. Bad company

Feels good, shoots good

Only problem is it leaks about 450lbs of air overnight even after paying for the leak test and the 20 for 20. Not sure what there standards are for the leak test but this one is definitely leaking.

Accuracy, looks

to new yet

n/a

Accurate/ powerful

Started to leak 500 psi overnight/ sent back/ relieved now it won't even fill leaks so fast

I would look at different manufacturers.....very disappointed had in hands 10 days...they had it longer than me...need return again....sad

Accurate powerful

Customer service bad...only owned 40 days now loses 500 psi from full overnight...down to zero in 2 days...the 60 day money back is misleading....Customer support says jts issue and can't provide who pays shipping for repair even....I list faith in customer support...do not recommend

Nice looking rifle and accurate...buy won't hold air

After owning this gun for 10 months, it shoots 18.13 grain JSB pellets in dime-sized groups at 40 yards. I have only encountered one issue so far. It is crucial to be very careful when using Crosman hollow points in the JTS gun. I experienced a jam when I tried to force it in, resulting in the bending of the pin that pushes the pellet into the chamber. Despite contacting JTS multiple times, they did not respond to emails, and the phone conversations were frustrating. Eventually, I decided to bend the pin back myself, and now it works fine. I am currently experimenting with 100-yard groups and plan to purchase 21 grain pellets from JTS to see how they perform. Overall, I love the gun, but the JTS service is lacking. To be honest, the warranty may not be of much use. If you are looking for a great, affordable, and high-performing gun, this is a good choice. However, it is advisable to learn how to replace seals yourself, as JTS may not provide assistance in this regard.

Id like more shot count and JTS fix your cusomer service!

The gun weighs 8 pounds and man its a tank I still love it though also get a size up if you get a moderator for it cause it will clip your moderator!

It is an accurate air rifle.

JTS management's ignoring of customers and their legitimate issues - see below.

This is about a defective Airacuda Max and JTS' spokesperson, Travis Whitney. I purchased the Max on February 17, 2024. But because of winter weather in Rochester, NY, was unable to get it to a range before April. Once I began using it, it began to leak air. The leak became more obvious in May and June. I communicated with Travis many times, each time he suggested I perform DIY tricks but not being a gunsmith, and not intending to violate the terms of the warranty, I asked that his firm do so. After two times sending to TX, it still leaks air and Travis refuses to respond to phone or text. According to the terms of the warranty, I am owed a replacement. According to posts on social media, I am not the first person to have this trouble with JTS so I am probably going to have to elevate this matter to a more formal venue. I advise all those interested in JTS airguns to be very careful about purchasing anything they sell until they support their products post-sale.

The fact it's all metal and wood. Not plastic. Very accurate . I get about 40 to 50 full power shots per fill. Not very pellet picky but, jts 18.1 is the best I've tried so far. My pellets run an average of 955 fps and I get 1/4" groups at 35 yards and 3/4" or less at 50 yards off the tripod. Most accurate pellet gun I have ever owned. This is my first PCP. My Airacuda Max was the batch released in or about Apr-May 2024.

Need external way to adjust regulator pressure and power screw.

It's definitely worth the money so long as the price does not increase. Currently $420. Maybe it will even drop opening up PCP airguns to more individuals. Customer service needs to improve, but it's still a new company. It will take a little time to get everything going and orginized. I also think JTS should look into a higher tank pressure. Currently 3200 psi is reccommended but have seen several others using up to 4500 psi with no problems. That would most likely bring count shot up to atleast 100 shots per fill with regulator set at 1,920 psi. (Caution!!! and NO! over pressure should be used unless JTS decides different) if they ever do...........

This rig was awesome right out of the box. It was consistently shooting a dime at 50 yards with a smooth and effortless side lever. The trigger is nice and easily adjustable, and the magazines are great. Also came with an o ring kit which I was really happy about. The Airacuda max has far exceeded my expectations especially in its price range.

It would have been nice to have a single shot tray available

The barrel shroud is loctited on which isn’t an issue unless you find that out in the woods while trying to clear a barrel obstruction.

Very smooth side lever, all metal and wood construction with no plastic even magazine’s are metal

Nothing

The trigger is easily adjusted, you cannot find a better quality pcp than this for less than a $1000

This is a very nice air rifle; I have no regrets on its purchase. For a larger size air rifle, it is balanced and feels good when shouldering.

I am happy with the JTS Aircuda Max, I don't believe I would change anything. It would be nice if JTS offered a barrel / caliber change to use with the original platform.This would allow you to own different versions of the same gun without the expense of owning several guns.

This comes with two aluminum magazines that are among the best magazines that I have seen or used. I purchased the .30 caliber to use for pest control, the .30 is not a bench gun for targets,,it simply uses too much air. A smaller caliber such as the .22 would make a very nice target gun as you would get a larger number of shots between fillings.
This is a hidden gem and should not be overlooked.

Everything , I bought the 30 cal. and it is an amazing gun for the money. This thing is a tack driver a five shot group at 40 yards and you have a hole the size of a dime. I use the gun everyday eliminating tree rats and you can hit them anywhere with the 30 cal. and they are done.

Nothing really yeah the guns a little big and a little heavy but it’s truly an amazing gun very well made and I’m a machinist so that’s saying a lot.

Mine is not that picky about pellets so I just use the JTS. You will need high scope mounts for the clip to go in. I used the 4 screws CVLIFE high.

It works great and it's an awesome air rifle for the money and who ever needs to hear this it's worth it trust me

Nothing

It won't let you down it's great for pest control on a farm

This is an extraordinary air rifle. Heavy, but who hand-holds this thing? (You’d have to be quite strong.) The accuracy is what distinguishes it, Close groups, once sighted-in, inevitably result. I find the cocking lever has a “hitch” as you load each pellet from the magazine; perhaps this will diminish over time with use, but it does require a good “push” after the “pull” of the cocking cycle. The finish is a dull matte but can be tricked out with one of those stock oils, and I intend to do so as it is very nice to look at and a little gloss will make it even more so. It’s so accurate I might actually enter an old farts’ air gun match thing at my local gun club this summer (2024). I own 10 air rifles in various propellant modes and this one is exceptional. I won’t pay Two Large for an air rifle, however, so this one is technically “reasonably priced” and something of a top for me. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it. It’s validating to see those close groups in the scope.

Apparently the rifle used to be able to accept a moderator, but JTS began permanently attaching the screw-on end piece of the barrel. Rumor has it you can apply heat and the “lock-tite” might loosen, but I’d rather not risk harming the barrel. It isn’t quiet, but it isn’t like shooting a 30.06, either.

I have had issues with two other rifles purchased from Pyramyd (not their faults) and they have been most accommodating about returns. KEEP YOUR SHIPPING BOXES AND PACKING MATERIALS “just in case.” And follow their return instructions specifically.

I just shot 80 .22 pellets this morning into four groups of about nickel sized at my 20 yard bench rest short yard range. it is highly repeatable and at these short distances the gun went from 3100 psi to about 1800 psi in 80 shots of mid weight benjamin single strike and h and n target and hunting pellets. It much preferred the Benjamin single strike for accuracy. I like the gun and have its brother in .25 as well. I thought a good value for the price. I bought a separate scope for it.

Not much. They did a good job. If there were anything I would suggest they do a better finish color on the beech stocks they use where it is made to look a little browner. I refinished both my .22 and my .25 stocks after I got them.

I don't know that you will beat an FX Impact Mk3 or Panthera shooting slugs at 100 yards but if you want to have solid build, good quality, repeatable accuracy, this works. Love the magazines. Only one better is the new brocock flip open mag.

Fits my body frame. Comes right up to the target when I shoulder it

Customer service

I had an issue with a leak at the foster fitting. After 120 rds. Called JTS. They gave a contact number for repairs. I called left message. That didn't work. Emailed them. That didn't work either. A air rifle/compressor is only as good as their support. I will not buy another JTS product. I will go with a company that has good support.
