Umarex Notos PCP Carbine

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!
