Umarex Notos Carbine Reviews

Light, compact, and with very good accuracy. Feels good in the hand.

In filling it with a hand pump, I found I could get to about 3000 psi, but beyond that the fitting started to leak, preventing additional pressure. it actually worked out okay for me, as I shot 3 magazines (21 pellets) and found the pressure was still in the green. It would still be nice to get the max pressure.

While it's not as smooth, etc. as a high-dollar air gun, overall I was quite impressed at it for the price point. I was planning to put a dot sight on it to keep it as compact and light as possible, but I found I needed a riser to get the sights at a comfortable eye level, so I went with a scope instead (the rings put it at the right height). The trigger is reasonable; not match grade, but still pretty crisp. I found that if I backed off the trigger adjustment screw, it lighted it a little but also left a lot of takeup and some grit in the feel. Tightening the screw seemed to remove the takeup and leave a crisp trigger. I haven't measured it, but if feels like it's in the 3 or 4 lb range. Accuracy was quite good, even on a blustery day (just shooting it at 10 yards). No problem with the magazine; it worked fine for me. There's a little stiffness / roughness in the cocking / feeding mechanism, but not bad and I expect it to smooth out with time.

Right out of the box, it shoots great. I am shooting dime size holes ar 35 and 45 yards. Does not seem to be terribly pellet picky. I put a cheap 2.5-10x scope on it, going to make this my new shorter range pesting and target gun. Planning on ditching my Jet1 and using this gun in it's place.

I don't particularly care for the cooking lever, but I have a replacement coming from Maple Custom products. The magazine is as bad as other people's reviews, as well. I also have some expanded mags coming from MCP. One magazine of 7 rounds seems a bit chincy, but I realize this is a price-point kind of gun.

If you are on the fence about buying this gun, get off the fence and pull the trigger. (Pun intended)

Very accurate and quiet easy to work with

Air tank bigger

Right out the box, shoots great. 5 shots and it was zeroed at 40 yards. Quiet and light.

More/bigger magazines. Cocking effort and trigger are really stiff so far, hoping they smooth out and break in. Looking forward to getting some aftermarket bits and pieces for it.

-Small -Lightweight -Very Accurate -OK value for the money The number of rounds per mag is just right for the air charge.... about 21 good shots... so every 3 mags require a recharge to maintain peak accuracy.

-MAGAZINES! (see below) -Doesn't come with, nor allow for a barrel band without extensive mods. -It needs a couple more slots BEHIND the breech/champer are for scope mounting -Cocking lever could stand improving

MAGAZINES! Horrible design! EVERY cocking cycle tries to load a pellet from slightly to totally sideways. Just enough so that it jams the pellet mid-way between the magazine and chamber. Meaning it requires a cleaning rod to cram the pellet back into the magazine so the magazine/jam can be removed/clears... often damaging or breaking a magazine. There are certain pellets that feed reliably... but those just happen to be some of the most expensive pellets available, and shouldn't be that way! ANY pellet gun should reliably feed ANY type/brand of pellet available. The ONLY FIX I could find was to purchase Maple Products aftermarket magazines for the Notos..... which should not have to happen! This alone turns what would otherwise be a 5-star package into a below-average one! If you can't get a gun to feed ammo, then you certainly cannot count on it to shoot.... -Pyramid services I consider a requirement: 10 for 10 Deal 24 hour leak test

There is no better value airgun at this price point. Amazingly consistently accurate with budget ammo and stunningly accurate with premium ammo. I've purchased a second one 6 months after the first. My buddy has 3 now. All good quality with equally excellent performance out of the box. There's just no comparison and I have many airguns at this price point to compare to.

Include better/higher capacity tmagazines

You will not be disappointed, guaranteed.

Very accurate out of the box. Very fun without having to add much more than a scope. I have much more expensive pcp's but I find myself returning to this one over and over. Will shoot any pellet I put in accurately. Very very quiet compared to my other rifles

Not a big fan of the trigger but after minor adjustments it's not that bad. A bottom rail of sorts would be nice asking with an aluminum rail up top but for the money, I won't complain too much.

Don't let the price fool you, this gun is a solid performer with plenty of aftermarket options. Facebook has a group that caters to this platform and the members there are extremely innovative and knowledgeable. Whatever you want to do to it, someone there has probably done it. One more thing, there's really no need for expensive pellets with this gun. Crosman hollow points work exceptionally well in it. Being the price they are, you can do a lot of shooting really cheaply.

Supreme grouping and super quiet

The rail section should be metal for more durable and the mag for me works fine but i fine alots of people get deffect mag which make the pellet stuck when trying cock in due to miss alignment peope said it can be solve by maple mag

Some the rail is nylon so try not to over tight attachment on it i feel it kinda fragile

Great gun for 20 yards and under. Very pellit picky still haven't found one it realy likes.

Very poor trigger.

This little rifle is almost perfect out-of-the-box, but there are also a wide variety of cool and performance improving aftermarket parts available. I simply love everything about this gun. It is very well designed and built with quality materials, functions flawlessly, is powerful and very accurate, as well as lightweight, quiet, and a blast to shoot.

The OEM magazines are a little annoying at times, and the trigger is a bit heavy for such a lightweight rifle.

Umarex hit a home run with this rifle and it performs as well as, if not better than many other PCP rifles on the market selling for twice as much as this gem. At $250.00, this is the best PCP rifle deal on the market today. I highly recommend this gun for anyone from PCP veterans to their children, and everyone in between!

Excellent price, well made, easy assemble and operate. Very accurate. Also pretty quiet.

Nothing comes to mind. Any changes I'm sure will affect the superior price point. We don't want to do that.

Very sleek and stylish rifle. Just a great all around. Comparable to much more expensive rifles. Don't skimp on the optics get a solid scope.

The weight, adaptability

I suggest you have after market magazine.

Magazines are terrible

Well thought out design, lightweight, not pellet picky, extremely accurate, addictively modifiable. With a properly working handpump I can bring it back to full from the bottom of the green in just 2 minutes using proper form. I am a big guy so it makes it easier but I've already refilled about 10 times and it seems quicker each time. Pump barely has time to get hot.

The trigger isn't terrible but a more refined one would make this near perfect, Although the polymer used for the rail is exceptionally durable, I'd have paid an extra $20 for an aluminum one. In a perfect world it would provide 40 regulated shots.

This is my first regulated PCP and I now see what I've been missing. This lets me reach out further with a greater variety of pellets without seeing the magnified results that come with shooting unregulated at long range. I paid for the service plan and 24hr test which was worth every penny. The gun came still charged at the reported pressure and holds air perfectly. I added an aftermarket rail adapter for the tank and now I'm more than pleased. This is now my favorite air gun to grab and shoot for pure joy. Thank you Pyramyd for making sure she was perfect before sending to its new home!

Pretty impressive out of the box the price is definitely good I like the action so far it's smooth and easy after a few clips with no sight yet to test it out

The stock had yo be filed to fit the grip and trigger assembly

Nice setup if you don't expect perfect or are willing to do a bit of work on it since there's a lot you can do to these I plan on doing g just that at least on one or two of them

extremely accurate, stacking pellets one on top of the other, great for pest control, lightweight

i would put the side lever on the right side or make it ambidextrous

Nothing else to say except it is amazing deal for the money

I love everything about this gun. The geese that like to nest in my back yard don't share this sentiment. With an optic scope, this gun is wickedly accurate and deadly.

It would be great to have a magazine with a capacity greater than 7 shots that that is a nit. Just buy a couple replacemtns and you're good to go.

I bought this gun to help me rid my yard of huge flocks of geese (I live on a lake). They do eventually get the point - the only down-side is that I rarely get to do any "target practice" these days but have had a great time getting to this point.

The size accuracy and quietness

Larger mag safety location

This was bought for my son after extensive searching for a light weight and compact pcp rifle that was budget friendly it was the right choice honestly you get a lot for the money now I'm going to have to buy one it's a pleasure to shoot very quiet and accurate too the mag could be bigger but it works

Size

Mag size

I just got the Notos on 10/31/24 and have already put several hundred pellets through it. This thing is so much fun to shoot and it is very accurate even using 4 different brands of pellets. It does seem to like the lighter grain pellets. Today was very windy but it still shot well at 25yds. I also have a .22 Benjamin Marauder PCP and a Umarex Gauntlet 2 .25 but the Notos is getting a lot of my attention at the moment. It's so easy to move around with and setup on a small table is easy. By the third day it had already dispatched 3 rat type critters, with just one pellet on each one.

I would probably come up with a different safety. I have tried using the trigger adjustment screw to lighten the trigger pull but it still seems like the same pull weight. Also the trigger safety button fell out of the trigger as I was adjusting the trigger pull screw.

It does seem to like the lighter pellets. It shot the best so far with Hades Diabolo, 15.89gr pellets. 25yd target and 7 pellets could easily be covered with a dime.

A fun gun!
