ive just bought one of these and its brilliant , ive bought mine for when chicken is too expensive in the shops , pigeon will be on the menu and squrrel and crayfish
I have one of these in .22, with a Hawke 3x9x40 and the same bipod as you😁 Mine did 9.68 ft/lbs with 16grn pellets on a cold day at my gunsmiths - more than happy with that! Mine does 35 shots per capsule on a warm day, although I swap out after 28 shots for the best quality shots. I put an after market (larger) bolt on mine plus a butt bag for storage of magazines etc. As you say, great bit of kit with a very nice trigger unit for the price
Good video, just bought one on your recommendation and I'm not disappointed. thanks. I think the port on the side is to allow unused CO2 to escape without giving you a cold burn when removing the cartridge as much as a viewing port.
I like the sight you put on it! I have lots of sights I can use, but I plan to use one of these cheaper red-dots first. I like the low profile. The Camo version is really cool. Mine is black and called the Diana Chaser. Such a great value for the money, I immediately bought 2 of the rifle kits. Thanks for the video!
Completely agree I'm left handed and left eye dominant and for some reason prefer using right handed actions I can use left handed actions bug it feels unnatural ... though I did teach myself to shoot pistols right handed . But rifles I'm a complete lefty.. great vids keep up the good work
Snowpeak produces them Shane. If you were to buy a large number of these CP2's you could have your own brandname printed on the CP2 and box/manual. Thanks for your review.
The allen head you can see through the guard isn't the trigger adjust, it's more of a retaining bolt to seat the action in the stock, Take the bolt that you can see off and remove the trigger guard, the adj bolt is on the upper rear of the trigger blade. :-D Tiny allen head. Edit* Also a lefty here, no intention of using pistol mode as it was purchased for a Bullpup project, bolt is perfect for my needs. 👍
Got the same bipod it has a barrel clamp or use it on a 20mm dovetail. Had it for about 6yrs and I got mine from parkairsoft on eBay, from Hong Kong I paid £15 delivered then, will be a few quid more now though. They have spring loaded extendable legs too 👍🏻
Can safely say it’s a cracking bit of kit. Good shooting ol lad, good descriptive video, I had more luck hitting targets with that at the range than the pcp. For the money it’s a serious Lil weapon 👍🏼👊🏼
Great vid! Very thorough! Great looking in camo. Any worries about the durability of the camo finish? Is it prone to scratches or pretty rugged? Cheers
Hi good video helped me decide on getting one thank you, I'm having trouble fitting my scope as the iron sight on the rifle barrel bracket is in the way... I've noticed on yours it is removed? Mine seems stuck on is this meant to come off? Thanks Lee
Hey Shane, thanks for your interesting videos. I subscribed a while ago after I bought my CP (in black). Can I please ask if you still have a link for that bipod? I realise you got it a while ago. Cheers for now.
Seriously good bit of kit. I just wanted to check how you got the red dot sight on. Is it one with an 11mm fitting on it that clips on to where the rear sight should be? I don't want to end up getting the wrong size!
Im about to but one but not sure whether to get the .177 or 22, do you have any suggestions? Im leaning towards the 177 as the pellet flies 100fps faster than the 22, im going to be shooting small game and targets ???
I personally would go for 177 , ammo is cheaper and at longer distance shooting the arc of the pellet is less with 177 , all my guns are 177 except 2 , for the reasons just stated , good luck hope you have fun , cheers shane
Great looking gun that and good fun by the looks of it, just ordered mine and hoping it gets here in the next couple of days.. I like the look of the bipod too, could i ask you where you get hold of that one cheers.
Hi buddy just got myself the cp2 can I ask where you got your red dot scope from I got one but not knowing what I got its miles to big for the rail on the cp2 if poss have you got a link
Great video. Just got one myself. Just wondering how you managed to get the rear sights off the log barrel. Tried undoing the screw and removed the spring but will not budge. Does it need a good tap to slide off?
Nigel Brown. First take the spring and screw off the sight than find a piece of plastic about 2.5 mm thick and a few inches long. Place the plastic at the back [ bolt end } of the barrel and give the plastic drift a sharp tap with a small hammer. Site just slides off forward as it's just a friction fit ,leaving an additional dovetail. Good luck.
I think they are all Hawke , but to be honest most scopes starting up and over 80 pounds are fairly good enough to shoot up to 80:yards cheers shaneweightman
Hi Shane, Did you find out where you got that red dot sight from? Was it amazon? And don't suppose youve got a link or make and model of it please? Thanks!
Hi. Do you reckon I could kill rabbits with a CP2 if I was close. Like 20 feet or so away and hit a kill zone? Just I tend to just find Warren's and set up hiding real close and wait for them to come back out (about 15 minutes) So I'm usually in close range. Anyone
Sorry I don’t , misses bought it , for me , I just type in what im after on Google then look at choices , of results , sometimes eBay or Amazon , but fairly easy and cheap to obtain , thanks shane
Maybe Artemis couldn't cope with the demand so they "Farmed Out" some of the work to SMK & allowed them to put their name on it? - It's what Business is all about - Money!!!!! (Artemis get a % age back for every SMK version sold) A deal (like most) Probably made on the Golf Course!!!
SMK (Sportsmarketing) are (only) the UK importers. The folk who actually make the CP2 (and a whole host of other airguns) are SPA, one of biggest Chinese airgun manufacturers. Artemis, Victory etc are (or more accurately, were) brand names used by SPA. SPA are now branding all of their offering under a single brandname - Snowpeak - although until all stocks are used up, you’ll still see Artemis, Victory etc on guns. SMK being a big importer have the “clout” to have their name screen printed on guns but apart from shifting boxes, have little input to the guns. Diana also have sufficient clout to have SPA offerings branded in their name. Essentially, Snowpeak, SPA, SMK, Artemis, Victory, Diana (plus a few other names) are all the exact same guns. hth
Hiya, I have exactly the same, sort of, mine's a Diana Chaser in .177 in Black, and when I say exactly the same, right down to the bi-pod, the only difference is I have my Bi-pods legs folding forwards :-D :-D :-D I just ordered myself a 6x42 scope for it this morning :-D as knocking the middle out of targets at the max range for that red dot has started to bore me... I have subscribed to your channel, so keep the vids coming, btw I hail from Lancashire and live in Bremen DE these days :-)
Better than a rekord trigger!!??thats a big statement i got the weihrauch HW97 that trigger is unbeatable but i will soon know if it is so i orderd this gun to👍
This gun in out of the box format-rifle mode,I would not trust 8.5ft/lbs for a clean kill on a rabbit. Small rodents like rats or a pigeon at 10m yes, 20m with the right pellets. For a decent clean despatch there's several parameters that you need. 1) accuracy 2) shot positioning 3)overall output power of the gun 4)muzzle velocity of pellet 5)energy retention of pellet over distance 6)penetration and spread of pellet on impact
You remove the screw on the sight for distance, and the iron site hinges up, the screw that hold the whole thing to the stock is under there when you hinge the sight up.
ive just bought one of these and its brilliant , ive bought mine for when chicken is too expensive in the shops , pigeon will be on the menu and squrrel and crayfish
ive yet to use mine with the long barrel i believe you get more power that way ,

I sure like my Chasers. Very accurate and a simple design that is easy to work on. I shoot mine a lot. Great review Shane.
What a great little gun, I am going to get one of these be great in my back garden

ive just got one of these and hydro dipped it in camo , hydrodipping is easy once you have made the usual mistakes

Great vid! Very thorough! Great looking in camo. Any worries about the durability of the camo finish? Is it prone to scratches or pretty rugged? Cheers
I’m not sure buddy , as I’m not rough with guns ,t hey have an easy life with me , time will tell , but seem durable cheers shane

Hi Shane, thanks for the video.
Any idea how I could remove the sight from the riffle barrel ? I see you've removed yours. There's no grub screw :S
I’m not sure buddy , I will have a look in the next couple of days , I’m sure it was straight forward

hi shane what bipod did you get ?
Hi there, how did you remove the rear open sight from the barrel clamp? I tried it earlier and failed miserably!
Yes , can’t remember if it’s a small screw or small bolt, you’ve got me thinking now cheers shaneweightman
Hi Shane where did you get the Bipod?

Great looking gun that and good fun by the looks of it, just ordered mine and hoping it gets here in the next couple of days.. I like the look of the bipod too, could i ask you where you get hold of that one cheers.

You can get a right side bolt kit.
Do you ever keep the stock on and the short barrel
Great review could you please let me know what sights you use.
I think they are all Hawke , but to be honest most scopes starting up and over 80 pounds are fairly good enough to shoot up to 80:yards cheers shaneweightman

I'll be getting one asap.

Better than a rekord trigger!!??thats a big statement i got the weihrauch HW97 that trigger is unbeatable but i will soon know if it is so i orderd this gun to👍
Would it kill a rabbit
Sure would , as much as any other uk legal air rifle , the gun is averaging 11.4 to 11.6 ft lbs of power , I believe up to 40 yards , cheers Shane
This gun in out of the box format-rifle mode,I would not trust 8.5ft/lbs for a clean kill on a rabbit. Small rodents like rats or a pigeon at 10m yes, 20m with the right pellets.
For a decent clean despatch there's several parameters that you need.
1) accuracy
2) shot positioning
3)overall output power of the gun
4)muzzle velocity of pellet
5)energy retention of pellet over distance
6)penetration and spread of pellet on impact
That’s my cp2 mate
Hi there can tell me the name of the red dot site you use and the mount for it
hi Dennis , have made a video on the sight , and the mount is part of the sight , cheers shane
How did you manage to dismount the rear sight that comes fittet standard in the middle of the rifle barrel?
You remove the screw on the sight for distance, and the iron site hinges up, the screw that hold the whole thing to the stock is under there when you hinge the sight up.
