I used to know a dentist named Macavity, his first name was Phil 😂😂

[@gizmo6164]

…….. he told you he was a dentist! 😧

[@Terryhaslet]

Brilliant 😂

[@Juan_Anthony_3870]

🤣😂😅

[@Terryhaslet]

Nice to see another review Richard. Thank you. 👍

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much for watching.

[@Bradkozakandfriends1830]

Another great video Rich. Thank you.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much.

[@SedEdwards]

Very impressed and accurate

[@airriflevermincontroluk5027]

Great review Richard. The rifle bears a striking resemblance to the Air Arms S510TR imo. Thanks for sharing. All the best.

[@simontanner]

Another excellent review Richard 👍

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks Simon.

[@KenCollingwood-ul7ox]

Cheers Richard great review

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much Ken.

[@thoughtsandquotes1375]

Looking forward to this one hitting the UK and from the reviews it's looking like I'm going to have to have one I think for the price and performance it's going to sell like hot cakes here

[@stevengoodman3498]

Very nice review man. It looks like a winner for sure!😊

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much...

[@Moses1973]

There's only a few guys that do such a indepth review. Thank you 👍

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much!

[@m.k.738]

The grip and the stock should have plenty of options to change them out to what you need with all the AR aftermarket parts.

[@jasonhoover1521]

Great review

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much.

[@ralphtaylor9968]

Excellent review Rich. Hope you get to review the sub-12 when it hits our shores. 👍👍

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks Ralph. As soon as I get one to review I'll let you know...

[@MudMaxMetalDetecting]

Great review Richard, can I suggest not using the targets that have the splatter yellow effect, they always make groups look wider than they really are? I reckon a standard white paper target gives a much better indication of the width of a group? ATB MMMD

[@raymondaguirre5825]

This pcp looks better than my dreamline tactical & at half the cost. I really enjoy my 25 cal dreamline, but I will be buying the macavity high power slug edition in 22 cal later this year just because it looks so dang awesome. 👍

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Certainly appears to be a great rifle for the money.

[@jaytee8188]

Great vid again Rich, well done. 👍
This rifle looks to have very positive potential if it all works out and delivered in the UK at around £500 should make it quite appealing to many.
This review was probably much easier and enjoyable than the last one!!! 😂

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi John. Thanks very much. Yes, looks like being a great rifle if the price stays around the £500 mark - time will tell. To be fair, I quite liked the Vought too...

[@jaytee8188]

@@alphamilitaria2756 Agreed on the MA2 as there could be many variables.
You might be in a small minority on the Vought. 😂

[@nickwebb9290]

Wow that’s a bit of a scoop Richard. Looks promising and I imagine you’re the first to review this new brand.
I wonder if they make their own barrels or buy them in. Perhaps you’ll be able to review the sub 12 versions when they come to our shores.
I shall watch this brand with interest 😁

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks Nick. Yes, I think we might be the first. Not sure on the barrels - I suspect though they buy them in. And yes, hoping to get my hands on a sub 12 ft/lbs rifle as soon as they are available.

[@roberthowe2910]

Looks good..especially if they r reliable....

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Let's hope so...

[@user-mp7ij7eb7r]

It will be interesting to see one in a uk spec 👍

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Yes, hopefully I'll have one soon to try out.

[@user-mp7ij7eb7r]

I’m looking forward to seeing these in the uk, I’m hoping they are Us made

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Should be June from what I understand.

[@Airgunfunrich]

Surely you use the adjustable length but stick to set length of pull and set eye relief by moving sight..?

[@alphamilitaria2756]

It pretty much amounts to the same thing.

[@crazycressy7986]

Would be nice if they did a short version

[@alphamilitaria2756]

I guess we have to wait and see what the UK 12 ft/lbs rifle will be...

[@andrewmoore1579]

Excellent review as always Richard...nice looking gun for the price .

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much Andrew.

[@2musiclover534]

Liked. Presumably USA company but OEM from China correct? Would it be Snowpeak per chance as the manufacturer? Wonderful price point.
Thanks.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much. I don't believe Snowpeak is involved...but don't quote me!

[@user-qk4kt9og3h]

Too bad that their not available. Must be a CA company that don't stock.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

As I understand it, Macavity Arms rifles are on sale now in the UK. I believe the plan is still to launch in other markets this summer. We'll see...

[@robertcichon8231]

Come on Richard don't you think its a bit on the long side ??

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Not as long as it looks. Pretty much the norm for a lot of rifles with a silencer. But you're right 'compact' is a bit of a stretch! I think the UK rifle will have a shorter barrel too.

[@janrobertbos]

...Chinesium???...value for money though...😀

[@gumbystown]

I hear macavity arms is an American company but a Chinese made air gun

[@delbuxton2092]

A 1 inch plus group at 40 yards isn't good.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

You are clearly a better shot than me Del. Congrats.

[@delbuxton2092]

@alphamilitaria2756 I may or may not be. It could be you or more likely the rifle or your choice of pellets. But, being a smartass won't get you more subscribers or views.

[@crypto_creep8222]

Made in CHINA

[@alphamilitaria2756]

What's your point?
