What's amazing is this Huben didn't come from a manufacture with years of experience and evolution on their belt. Basically some dude designed it and put the design into a real life product, and not one with teething issues. Power, refinement, accuracy, quality is all built in.
Man, I love the vids rick, but you did a whole lot of talking. Lol! I was so anxious to see it shoot and just when I think your about to shoot you do more talking. 🤣 Great vid man.
Thank you Mr. Utsler for this great video. I must mention that John and Zenaide (his wife) at New England are fabulous. I must recommend them wholeheartedly. I do look to see further comment and video concerning the Huben K1. Last, for others wanting to pursue the Huben K1 in 22 or 25, there are videos by Mr. Gregor Kamensek that will show in details this very worthy PCP.
Picked up a 2022 .25 Huben K1 for 1K, impressive piece of Made in China manufacturing - nice fit, finish, and machining. Overall, powerful piece of kit with a lot of flexibility with settings, pellets, and slugs.
I love my .22 cal Huben K1. You need to order the Huben K1 Swage Slugs from VARMINT KNOCKERS designed specifically for the K1. It will shoot though the same hole at 100 yards.
I'd love to pick one of them up. I got a lcs and I love it. And yes LCS copied the Huben. I bought my LCS before I knew that tidbit. Wish I bought the Huben after I found out, but the LCS is a beast as well.
I’ve shot both. There is no comparison. The Huben is far better in my opinion. It may just be me, but the feel of it, the trigger, the total package is just superior. Again, just my opinion with limited trigger time on both. Cheers AGW
@@AirGunWeb Great review. I'm working on getting a Huben in 22. for hunting. I've heard a few people say they liked the Huben better (trigger mainly). Athough I own a bunch of pcp and the LCS is one of the must accurate I have. Hades pellets at 50yrd, sub MOA all day (minis the occasional flyer). Jsb heavies do almost as good. Slugs do well at 100yrds, turned up at 80fpe. I'm looking forward to more vids testing the Huben. Maybe try some Hades and see what you get.
@@AirGunWeb Dear Rick,I gave my 130Qe ,30 break to a gunsmith,I`m in the country with 17 jules[12.35fp] limit.The airgun is great now-it took time to polish it,but now it is full blown .30 Hatsan 130.30QE with cr-mo spring and silicon spacers.It`s Olympic,only 13 foots,very relaxed .. 10 meters to 12yards-BOOM!!!.
Lcs did copy it... and lcs is no longer a company or he moved over to work with western airguns his lcs is called the Rattler, but does have a considerable amount more power in the 30 cal it's almost 200fpe unlike the lcs @ 90 or 100Fpe
Hammerless is the future.Edgun No users hammerless technology in the leshy 2 .I still do love my guns with a hammer and conventional valve though. But I pick up my Huben . And it’s just the fear of the gun the way it fires it’s just such a hammer it’s unbelievable. You just Gotta have one not understand what I’m saying and Rick is telling you he is definitely right. I’m very glad he’s doing this review because no one wanted to review this gun. Because it casts such a big shadow on other really high and cons
I really like the Huben K1, I wish they would make them in larger calibers a .357 cal or .457 cal would be even better. I usually don't buy air rifles smaller than .357 caliber, because they don't produce the power of my liking. Although there are a few .30 calibers I would make an exception for, and that would be the FX Impact M3, LCS Air Arms SK-19. I have 5 pcp rifles right now two which are .357 calibers, two are .510 calibers and one is a .72 caliber, that I just purchased a few months ago. I have already been looking around for a couple more to add to my collection, I was looking at some .457 calibers, since I don't have any of those calibers, But then I seen the Huben K1 .25 caliber and it definitely grabbed my attention.
Yup. This one is awesome. Watched once some pigeon shooting with one of these - and totally made me want one, bad! But..there's always that one issue; the pricepoint issue...🤣🤣
You can always get a used one if you do you want a 2020 and newer they have the Chinese barrels no joke . That gun he shooting has no choke and look how good it shoots pellets and shoot slugs even better. I see used ones going for 1300. Which I know is still a lot but it is just incredible it is far superior to 3000 and $4000 guns
Great video, I have had my Huben K-1 for over three years now and i can also say great air gun. (I have .22). They did not have the .25 back then but I will be getting one.
Surprised you're just now getting your hands on these. Before I got mine I was eyeing your evanix max airs but I am glad I got a huben instead. I loved my 2018 .22 so much that I just got the 2021 .25 with the sexy wood stock, which is actually even lighter than the synthetic stock version
There is already years of improvement on it, but be sure to check the cap on the back of the gun, older version had an alu version that could blow out and they replaced it later with steel.
Are you aware of the dude who made a 50FTLB semi auto handgun from this guns action? Look up huben mk1 pistol on TH-cam you'll see what I'm talking about it's absolutely amazing huben needs to hire him and make one a official product.
I really like the K1 the only thing I really don't like is the non removable magazine. I wish the next gen will have a removable magazine. And has more depth.
A little late to the game here, but a couple of things I would like to see: Also, I understand Huben is coming out with a new or updated version in the next couple of months or so. Anyway, one thing I'm not a fan of is the fill probe. Why don't they just put a Foster fill plug on there and be done with it? Two, they need to include a Pic rail on the bottom. Not a big thing for them to include. Three, it would be nice if it had removable mags like the Western Air Guns Sidewinder. And that's about it for me. Otherwise, looks like a fantastic air gun to own.
I have the exact rifle and love it. Although I do not use pellets because they can jam. .253 slugs are awesome and have never had 1 jam. Also make yourself a seater to ensure the pellets sit in far enough. You will have to take it apart. Lol......its easy to fix jams once you do it a couple times. It's my most favorite airgun ever.
Where do you get .253 slugs? I got some .2513 AVS slugs and they didn't do too well, but the AVS .254s did group very well. However, I'd like to test some between those diameters, because really the .254s are tighter than I'd like. I'd like the smallest diameter that's still accurate.
@@asherr5966 You can buy from the company direct overseas but it will be 30 bucks for shipping 1 pack. The shipping goes up about 3 bucks a box for shipping. If you want to try I could send you a box for $25 shipped for 200 slugs. Send me a email if you want to try some.
Really I shot many rounds through it the only time it's got Jammed was because of my fault. Not paying attention to what pellets on put it in meaning if they're damaged or forgetting to close the lever.
Yeah, that magazine that comes with the Huben is large to accommodate heavy slugs. so regular size pallets tend to move around a lot in there and potentially cause a jam. There are remedies around at.
Another thing very important the air tube is titanium and the gun is very light as you already know when you are shooting slugs the nose of the gun is going to kick left I had to wait the nose of the gun. I put a Donnie FL sumo on it with 12 ounces of wheel weights sticky weights. My gun shoots 3/8 inch at 100 yards with HNN 36 grain slugs. Without the nose wait it was like an inch and a quarter
I think you are right. I need to slow down a bit. On another note. I got some AVS slugs specifically for the Huben .25 and they are awesome. Stay tuned for that video. Cheers AGW
Nice review, I really love my .25 K1. Does anyone have a link to where I can buy a swivel stud that fits on this gun including the right screws that go into the pre drilled holes?
Which do you think is a more robust platform. The Huben or the LCS? The LCS has 150 clicks and a very thick barrel🤷♂️ Similar yes but different. You really need to do your thing with an LCS also sir. Maybe a head to head🤷♂️ That would be an epic video, and you maybe the only knowledgeable person willing to do it too. At least with the Huben…there are complete tare down videos out there unlike the LCS. There are ZERO! I really wish someone like you, a knowledgeable person, would do one, on the LCS. 3 year warranty is about up! We need one sir. God bless. BTW there are both amazing technology and super accurate and fun.
Wonder how long it will take for FX to get with the semi-auto game….. I have the LCS .25. The most love hate ownership ever! For the price I’d expect a much nicer rig.
When you start shooting slugs don't waste your time with anything less than 253 or 254 would be even better. The 25s have a very large bore. Pellets shoot well with the right tune but they're basically using their Diablo design to fly straight the barrels lands are not engaging much at all so they're pretty much darts out of the barrel but they will shoot okay none the less. The right slug on the other hand will absolutely blow your mind how accurate they are even at distance. 100 yards is lights out every time if you have the right slug.
Yes the LCS did copy this platform but made it better as in .30 Cal fully automatic the game changer would have been removable mags nevertheless AEA Semiautomatics in various caliber's with removable mags are the New PCP platforms that's making airguns like we always wanted✊✌️
You wanna back the valve knob out all the way start turning it back in to till you can feel tension turn it in 10 clicks and then to set your speed use the regulator. If you open the valve all the way and some guys do it kills your accuracy because you’re FPS spread is too big. You need tension on the valve and come to think of it on a new gun I would go 12 clicks in
Wreck this is Jimi at amazing airguns there’s a certain way to set up your valve with your regulator I can explain to you. When it is set properly you’re going to get a three to 4FPS difference in your shot string.
I'd love to get this, but there's only one reason I wont. Static magazines. There's no reason why a gun that gets this many shots per fill shouldn't have removable magazines. Maybe it's something we'll see in a next gen model. I hope.
It's not as bad as you would think. I had the same reservations when I bought my LCS. The mag holds twice as many then most other pcp's, and it's super easy to load when you get use to it. I can load 18 pellets in that mag faster then loading two typical mags. The only down side is if you like to load more then 2 mags at a time when target shooting.
The Huben absolutely rocks. 💯

what do you use to fill the air tank?
Thanks Rick. What are your thoughts on the differences in build quality, reliability, trigger, accuracy between the Huben and LCS.
