Just got my CP2 through the door today, what a blast already put half a tin of pellets through it. Very fun, I get about 40 shots per 12g canister, maybe more but the velocity drops sharply. I will recommend it to anyone who are looking for a fun CO 2 plinking pistol. Have not tried the carbine configuration yet.
This is another remake of the Diana Chaser which is a great air gun. It is one of my favorites. Very accurate and very well made. I highly recommend it. The silencer works!
@@Jimmycricket- I used the Rifle barrel and a small scope on a few close range rats after the chicken feed, the Rifle barrel gives the power to do it cleanly. I imagine the 177 would do similar depending on its power, my 22 was 8ft/lbs or a bit more at muzzle if i remember right, what does Andy's review state.
@@DelDreddjust ordered one new 😅 sold my AA s300 classic a few months ago as needed money wasn't in best condition either and think was over powered illegal going start a collection with this being the first in it
Morning Andy. I bought the CP2 a few years back and loved it. It now stays in rifle mode with a ring foresight and a rear aperture sight. Just like the good old days when we shot without optics, dots or lasers. 😎😎😎
@@Frietpan No, I had to find a foresight unit with interchangeable hole diameters and a clamp for the barrel. The rear aperture was a unit attached to the dovetail. Took a lot of finding but it reminded me of me days with .22lr @ 25yds. We used a rear aperture and the standard blade foresight on the Lee Enfield Mk 4 No1 and 'tinhat' targets. Happy Days
Thanks for the great review. I just got mine for Christmas and very happy with the gun. I wanted a small rifle for the garden that won’t disturb the neighbours… more than enough for 10-15m garden plinking…
Good morning Andy, how are you ? Yes this rifle /pistol has a lot to offer . A cracking budget rifle / pistol package. Would suit all ages . Thank you for your work Andy .... cheers Simon
Great review. I own a chaser and a bandit. If you switch frames you have a pcp gun (16joules in .22) and a pcp rifle (24joules in .22) wich is allowed in the Netherlands. A lot of fun for a small price! Thank you for your review as always, they are a pleasure to watch!
The change in impact point is not because of the barrels, it's because of the silencer. You shot the rifle barrel with and the pistol barrel without it. I have the Diana Chaser Kit and I can change barrels without even having to readjust my scope. Well as long as I leave the Silencer on.
Great review. It look identical to the smk victory cp2. It's a great plinker for the back garden. I have a .22 version and it likes jsb exact jumbo rs 13.43 grain. I really like it in the summer, because it's really quiet in comparison to my remington express compact Springer which is also a nice little short rifle.But I tend to shoot that one in the winter when nobody cares about being in the garden. I like the rifles short because I shoot from inside the house out of the window to smother any further sound. Both are comfortable to handle in compact spaces. They are absolutely great rifles for my back garden in which I have a 20 yard shooting range. The little rail at the front of the rifle under the barrel band on the cp2 is great for attaching a torch to shoot when it is dark in the evening. Both are comfortable for standing shots, which is more of a test. I have had them both for about three years. No problems. If you feel the power dropping on the cp2 just replace the little rubber o ring and the two rubber bands on the barrel. It's a cinch to do.
Unless the Stinger is very different to any other CP2, the two-stage trigger is adjustable, although you do have to partly dismantle to get at the grub screws. Just /under/ 500fps is absolutely ideal for 177 target pistol, whilst a bit of fettling (better oils and assembly) may well see over 600fps from the rifle in stock form. Whilst the pistol will easily dispatch a rat point blank in a trap, bringing a pistol to bear and aim is too slow, you need the rifle - and the lightweight CP2 is absolutely ideal. Properly set up and not over-powered by springs and things, the CP2 pistol and rifle can have very low fps spread, meaning incredibly accurate shooting with self-regulating CO2.
Andy, the trigger probably is adjustable as it is with the Artemis CP2, for it you have to remove the stock and then you can adjust the sear engagement length and weight I think. Its different for the Diana Airbug (pretty much the same pistol mechanical parts-wise) because you can adjust that trigger without removing the grip.
its an Artemis its a Zasdar its a Victory cp2 no no its a Diana this is all these guns comes under different guises a bit like some cars and out board engines amogst other things bought one gave it to my son missed it that much i bought another along with a p800 pcp.
This airgun is my favorite budget plinker. I believe it is the best first airgun for a kid or for anyone really. I own a LOT of these in different configurations. I think Diana or Snowpeak or whoever should have made the stock LOP shorter, though. Or provide a shorter/adjustable option. I hope these will one day be like the Crosman 2240 with tons of mods etc.
I am in the US. I have the Diana Chaser in .22 caliber. After all the fettling mentioned and doubling down on the rifle barrel work, mine shoots at 11.4 fpe, 600 fps using JSB 14. 3 pellets. I get 25 good shots before the pressure starts to drop. If the temperature drops below 45 degrees F it will effect the rifles performance. I put a Hawke 4 x 32 AO scope on and squirrels fall out of the trees at 25 yards. Do yourself a favor and get some CARM magazines. This is a great little rifle. There is a world of information on U TUBE.
Had mine since 2020, paid €96 and it's now running on HPA and after a lot of tuning on a 1500 regulator I'm getting 16 ft-lbs (perfectly legal here in Spain) and just under 100 shots per fill. Likes Hades for sure. I've got quite a lot of custom parts I've designed and 3d printed and a Norris drop block on it. Now weighs about 3kg but I do prefer it to my brother's HW100.
@@69watsy Absolutely excellent on HPA, mine is my favourite airgun I have shot. In the garden out to the limits of the property it will take down any pest perfectly.
Love mine shooting 16.5lbs. Had it to 18lbs but accuracy dropped lots. Happy at 16 using BSA goldstar .22 pellets. Hole on hole at 40 meters. Rabbits don’t know what’s hit them🤣
@@69watsy Yeah there is a big difference between say 11 ft-lbs and 16. Surprised me how much. As I was tuning mines best pellet constantly changed. H&N Barracuda worked well until I went over about 12 then they started opening up. Hades didn't work get in mine until I was close to 12 but work flawlessly up to my maximum. JSB Knockouts were useless until I got to 16ftlbs. Now they work well but need a clean barrel however in a garden whilst fun no advantages and actually quite a lot more dangerous.
The SMK version was my first airgun. I've really enjoyed it. Although I have an Edgun Leshy 2 I still come back to this for some target fun with the kids. I've never thought of putting a red dot on it...but will now. 👍🏻😎 I should just say that my only issue has been a jam caused by a suspect mag.
Interesting little gun. I am a lefty shooter, right hand for everthing else due to leading left eye! So a left mounted bolt may be a struggle. Great review by Andy. One thing I would be interested in is a review of red dot sights. Getting older and loomIng cataracts means my eyes are long past their best so red dots certainly make a common sense alternative to struggling with open sights.
Hi Les, most snipers have a leading right eye, are right-handed and work with a bolt-action rifle with the bolt on the right-hand side. I certainly don't struggle with it, as my right hand also has finer dexterity. So, I think you'll find it will work for you too. Give it a proper try and you may even prefer it after a while.
Hi Andy, a nice review but one thing you didn't mention is that this kit has yet another feature - a small section of Picatinny rail under the forward sight bracket. This is ideal for lasers, torches etc, though you might struggle to get a bipod on there without making it harder to open the CO2 chamber. It's a fantastic budget/garden range kit though.
You're mostly right; that mount is perfect for a mini torch or laser, but I own two different brand variants of this particular airgun (.177 Victory CP2 and .22 Diana Chaser) and learned (the hard way) that attaching a bipod to that mini rail is a bad idea; the metal body of the gun can flex when using it with a bipod and this almost always threw my aim on both airguns.
I actually have two of these (in .177, and a .22), that I mix and matched with a Diana PCP pistol to get to my liking. Got them back when they cost less than 120€ (one cost me under 100). The Diana was on sale at a local store.
@@Jimmycricket- as a general rule, .177 is better for target, being smaller and easier to see hits. For pest control, it would depend on power level allowed where you are, fornthe PCP. I doubt the CO2 version is enough for that.
just bought the pcp version 22 fill up and get about 25 shots on a good day then refil. but after refill shoots high till 10 shots taken then settles down either telly red dot reflex will not ajust to the loest taking it back as soon as got it 6 march yesterday from vector arms . cheers andy
GREAT REVIEWS AS ALWAYS, PUT A FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRIGGER, A SMALL BUDDY BOTTLE, UNF THREAD FOR SILENCER, SIDE LEAVER ACTION THEN THIS LITTLE GUN GOES TO A NEW LEVEL.
Nice review as always Andy, can you imagine this coming out 54 years ago, deffo would have been a sellout and on every boys Xmas list, I know we did not have TH-cam, but can you imagine us all trying to tune our big B&W TVs in to watch your channel on the big heavy TV Tube 😄
Morning Another great review, thanks. Guess it's rivals are the Crosman Ratcatcher, obviously without the ability of stock removal. And the Reximex Mito (PCP though) which has that rather nifty case... And a hat!! The Crosman is a couple of ftp higher though.. Both are notably far dearer though Which comes to the rub, as the gun can be used with the long barrel and without its stock, it falls well outside the 6ftp mark, and as such becomes a rather unwieldy pistol, and illegal? Regards to all, Joe 90
I really enjoy your videos. Your review of the Diana Bandit convinced me to buy one, and i'm sooo happy with that purchase. And it's so convenient to have a reviewer on TH-cam who really takes his time with reviewing air guns. Thank you
The CP2 is a great accurate lil gun and not a bad close range small vermin buster but when we had them we had to ream the barrel where the pellet goes in as not finished properly and the pellets was getting distorted but maybe they have sorted that issue out now
Here in the USA it a storm rider and it comes with a soft case. the only thing is it doesn't come with the magazine at least when first offered it might include one now and they offer left and right hand breech for it. and a small pick rial for a bipod on bottom . no bipod include. Very similar just a change of name the bolt is also a little different . . 👍👌💯✌️🎯👍
I have the Chaser version in .177. I'm running a drop block with a 15ci First Strike 4500 psi tank and an 850 psi regulator. I'm getting 500 shots per fill at 7 to 8 fpe using the rifle barrel.
Hi Andy I've been watching you for quite a while now I have a couple of pcps. I am looking at the ata airborne could you possibly do a review on this one please as I am very interested in what you think cheers ste
I love the show and a big help ended up buying a Walther rm8 which wow blew my mind with the barrel, a quick question ❓❓🤔 I am right handed and use a pistol in right hand, but when using a air rifle or any type of rifle I use my left yes my problem is eye dominance in the left but happy to use the left side any one else has this problem. Possibly a quick show about eye dominance would help others .
Surprised you didn't use the Joe 90 'BIG RAT' joke? We need the actual sizes of the foam insert as obtaining a decent case would be a real find ! My kind of fun gun that. Thanks for the review !!!!
Hi Andy at my club with a 25yd indoor range several of us have co2 (i have 3,as do others) pistols of various makes and models and bench rest on the 10mtr mark using the electric target changer,good fun and a pleasant way to idle away an hour or two! Might have a look for one of these!!
Gotta say, I have a SnowPeak, CP1M, in .22, and it is the most accurate, most fun, CO2 pistol (of the several) that I own. Can't imagine this pistol will suffer from it's maturity.
Another nice review by AAR. I'm starting to like these kits. Many different brands seems to exist though. Not sure what to get into - or what is the commonly thought as of being the best version of it. I am also still torn between if I'd want a co2 or PCP version.. Kinda sad this package did not come in a plastic case, but rather in a cardboard box. Now you'd need to find a perfect plastic box to fit that foam liner into.. Or at least I would like to have a plastic case for that..😁
Hi , yes I put all my collection in hard case or gun slip . Look after your equipment. Yes I have top of range rifles, but I still love kits like this . And at a good price 👌 . I bought a nice gas rifle last week . Got £100 0f. Milbro speedmaster , it fantastic 👏
ive taken pigeons at about 15-20yds. left me tell you, it does indeed do the job, rat and squirrels at the same range, lights out,. this is an awesome little tool. just dont over think its use. its a close range tool. period
Another great review :) As I am looking to add a pistol and rifle to my collection and others may well find it useful a top 10 pistol high-end and budget also the same with rifles would be great
My dear Andy, the silencers on CP1, CP2, PCP800 e.t.c, have also the function of an air striper. That´s why the gun shoots to high and inaccurate without supressor.
Great review as always Andy. A copy of the SMK CP2, but they can't go wrong with the design, I started with the CP2 and can't fault it. Still have mine in both calibre and enjoy taking them out for plinking and ratting........Great fun.
I think it is the same air gun as Artemis CP2 and the trigger "is" adjustable. It is nice airgun for the price. I can shoot it consistently at 50 yards, like I show in video in my youtube channel...
I've no interest really in Air Guns, I used to own a replica 6 shot revolver pistol, which I can't rember the name of, it was fairly hefty, black with a wooden stock. Anyway, I found myself watching this review, and what a great review it was, informative and well presented, many thanks.
Great Review Andy , thank you . That piece of kit looks like barrels of fun . But it really looks identical to the SMK . I wonder how the prices compare
Great review as always and a great looking bit of kit there. If I had not converted my Crosman 1300 .22 Medallist II in a similar way, I might be tempted to buy one. The only thing I have not done with the 1300 is put a longer barrel on it. Looks more like a machine pistol than a rifle.
I've had one for years but had to give it up now I live in an old peoples flat. Yes it's a great piece of kit.
Hi Andy, it’s a CP2 with a different name, pure and simple.
CP2 is also under different "brands".
AKA Artemis CP2 and Victory CP2 - an airgun very good value for one's money!
"They've rebadged it you fool!" - Alan Partridge
Just got my CP2 through the door today, what a blast already put half a tin of pellets through it. Very fun, I get about 40 shots per 12g canister, maybe more but the velocity drops sharply.

Not a remake it is from original factory as were the Diana, Artemis and SMK versions, same gun different brand names.
@@Jimmycricket- As far as I know yes, i got the SMK version in 22 second hand, works well in both configurations, easy to take apart and work on also.

The change in impact point is not because of the barrels, it's because of the silencer. You shot the rifle barrel with and the pistol barrel without it.

Well as long as I leave the Silencer on.

Hey? Where do you get the replacement seals? Thank u
Although I don't think the longer barrel adds too much power to the rifle. it has more of a pistol spec to me. It's good though.
Unless the Stinger is very different to any other CP2, the two-stage trigger is adjustable, although you do have to partly dismantle to get at the grub screws.
Just /under/ 500fps is absolutely ideal for 177 target pistol, whilst a bit of fettling (better oils and assembly) may well see over 600fps from the rifle in stock form.

Here in the US I wished the suppliers would stock and supply the two barrel o-rings. I had to go to the UK to find them at Bagnall and Kirkwood !
Surely you can just get some from any washer shop
An actual BUDGET product, looks good too.
Stinger have me as a fan if they keep this up.
Stinger and Artemis are all just labels stuck on them. As far as I know they're all made by Snowpeak
@@lefizz55Snowpeak is also just a label. The factory's name is something like Syaoiyong (kind of...)
This airgun is my favorite budget plinker. I believe it is the best first airgun for a kid or for anyone really. I own a LOT of these in different configurations.

4:50 trigger is adjustable. sort of. You cant adjust its place, but you can adjust the most important thing - the force needed to press it.
I have the original CP2 in .177 and find it really good as a carbine with a red dot sight.

yep victory v2. theres a new version of this from victory with cocking leaver on the right in camo as well
Excellent garden range gun for the money
I have the Chaser version in .177. I'm running a drop block with a 15ci First Strike 4500 psi tank and an 850 psi regulator. I'm getting 500 shots per fill at 7 to 8 fpe using the rifle barrel.
Hi Andy I've been watching you for quite a while now I have a couple of pcps. I am looking at the ata airborne could you possibly do a review on this one please as I am very interested in what you think cheers ste
Yes I've heard it's a decent rifle !
I have this air gun and it is a really good gun too
I love the show and a big help ended up buying a Walther rm8 which wow blew my mind with the barrel, a quick question ❓❓🤔 I am right handed and use a pistol in right hand, but when using a air rifle or any type of rifle I use my left yes my problem is eye dominance in the left but happy to use the left side any one else has this problem. Possibly a quick show about eye dominance would help others .
I'll definitely be getting myself one of these.
It's the Diana Chaser rifle kit. New name or new product for the UK ? Mine is in ..22 cal. It's been out for years. It's great.
in Europe it's called Artemis or Snowpeak CP2.
Surprised you didn't use the Joe 90 'BIG RAT' joke? We need the actual sizes of the foam insert as obtaining a decent case would be a real find ! My kind of fun gun that. Thanks for the review !!!!
I was really hoping that this was going to be a pcp version but great little rifel as I have the first cp2 and it worked great
Hi Andy at my club with a 25yd indoor range several of us have co2 (i have 3,as do others)
pistols of various makes and models and bench rest on the 10mtr mark using the electric target changer,good fun and a pleasant way to idle away an hour or two!
Might have a look for one of these!!
My Diana chaser shoots about the same POi with either barrel
Brilliant, looks like an assassins favourite toy 😉
Morning Andy, as a kid I did actually have a Joe 90 case 😁
This pistol is sold under quite a few different names..
But it's the same model.
I have one and it's good value for money..
Hi Andy, see this gun is in 2 versions .177,/.22 is it possible to have a mix of the 2 calibers on1 gun ?
Gotta say, I have a SnowPeak, CP1M, in .22, and it is the most accurate, most fun, CO2 pistol (of the several) that I own. Can't imagine this pistol will suffer from it's maturity.
i prefer to fit the barrel band even in pistol form , which by the way, i prefer. awesome the cp2,. had 2 squirrels last weekend with mine
Looks kind of like that weekly show The Man From Uncle gun. Looks even more like a Diana Chaser Kit!
I have one of these (SMK). Like it but cannot understand why this one has decent sights and the PCP version doesn't (as reviewed last week).
You can get magazine mounts for this and the cp2 on eBay it holds all the magazines on the gun.

Another nice review by AAR.
I'm starting to like these kits. Many different brands seems to exist though. Not sure what to get into - or what is the commonly thought as of being the best version of it. I am also still torn between if I'd want a co2 or PCP version..
Kinda sad this package did not come in a plastic case, but rather in a cardboard box. Now you'd need to find a perfect plastic box to fit that foam liner into.. Or at least I would like to have a plastic case for that..😁
Hi , yes I put all my collection in hard case or gun slip . Look after your equipment. Yes I have top of range rifles, but I still love kits like this . And at a good price 👌 . I bought a nice gas rifle last week . Got £100 0f. Milbro speedmaster , it fantastic 👏
I mix and matched this one with a Diana PCP pistol, I got quite cheap at a local store.
Actually, I used two "Ares", one in 177 and the other in 22.
😁
@@RCZM64 sounds good 👍
How to shift a load cp2 air pistols stick um in a case good look with that
ive taken pigeons at about 15-20yds. left me tell you, it does indeed do the job, rat and squirrels at the same range, lights out,. this is an awesome little tool. just dont over think its use. its a close range tool. period
What calibre?
Other than the grip! That looks very very similar to the Diana Bandit. Do like the barrel swap idea tho!
Very nice gun and a litle tempting... my only concern would be the magazine getting in the way of a scope or red-dot. Cheers
It’s an amazing gun! Love it!
Another great review :)
As I am looking to add a pistol and rifle to my collection and others may well find it useful a top 10 pistol high-end and budget also the same with rifles would be great
I have one and I love it
My dear Andy, the silencers on CP1, CP2, PCP800 e.t.c, have also the function of an air striper. That´s why the gun shoots to high and inaccurate without supressor.
Hey. Nice review dood. Piqued my interest with this one. Cheers 🤘🏻
Great review as always Andy. A copy of the SMK CP2, but they can't go wrong with the design, I started with the CP2 and can't fault it. Still have mine in both calibre and enjoy taking them out for plinking and ratting........Great fun.
Sorry, super new here and to the sport. From what Andy said at the end of the video will a red dot suffice for both pistol and rifle mode?
yes, it will
Think im gona buy one tomorrow
I have the chaser rifle kit and yeah one of my favorite collection item! Nice vidéo Andy!
Ooh, tempting.
I think it is the same air gun as Artemis CP2 and the trigger "is" adjustable. It is nice airgun for the price. I can shoot it consistently at 50 yards, like I show in video in my youtube channel...
Joe 90 No Captain Scarlet For Me 🤣🤣👍👍Great Video Thanks !!
I've no interest really in Air Guns, I used to own a replica 6 shot revolver pistol, which I can't rember the name of, it was fairly hefty, black with a wooden stock. Anyway, I found myself watching this review, and what a great review it was, informative and well presented, many thanks.
Nice one Andy.
Diana? cp2? Artemis? This has several different hats, I have this, it's good for the money
Right now Crosman on their website has the SBR for $99.00 USD they have the AK1 for $114.89 USD and the A4p for $104 usd
Hahaha, Jo 90. That seems like a hundred years ago now! I think the first bloke was his dad..
In the US of A this is the Diana Chaser.
Great Review Andy , thank you . That piece of kit looks like barrels of fun . But it really looks identical to the SMK . I wonder how the prices compare
Just curios if that grip would interchange with last week's diana
Great review as always and a great looking bit of kit there. If I had not converted my Crosman 1300 .22 Medallist II in a similar way, I might be tempted to buy one. The only thing I have not done with the 1300 is put a longer barrel on it. Looks more like a machine pistol than a rifle.
