RWS Superdomes 8.3 gr are best in all my guns. But dont tell anyone... More for me! They are cheap compared to some big brands that do worse in my guns. My Crosman, Ruger, Beeman all like them. Best. Even at 1,000 fps (Beeman Mantis). At 30 meters, 0.3" group, $129 usd. Yeah. Good video.
Got one in 177 zero at 35m and rws superdome and it shoots fantastically very accurate and next to no recoil it's a fantastic rifle and it shoots like some thing costing alot more money
Wow a great rifle Dan and even at 40yards and the good old pellets superdomes this accuracy at that price it's a win win all the time great video of a great rifle
Hey Stephen! All of the Cometa gear is top class so far but that Fusion was beautiful. Sweet to shoot, incredibly accurate and I think one of the best looking rifles on the market. I'm hoping to do some versus videos in the future where we include the Cometas against some of the more expensive German rifles.
@@bigdansairguns83 but that trigger could be better if it was made of metal.and there will be lots of triggers that try to be like s rekord, trigger but not even close but plastic that's the only weak spot
Maybe I missed the follow up I have been looking at these rifles for years but never seen any reviews, thank you Dan I have been waiting for someone brave enough to do a direct accuracy comparison to some of the top band companies. I have a generic B18/19 cobbled together from three different makers with a custom stock and trigger, I have never owned a high end gun but I can't imagine anything would out preform my cheap little springer. As always Dan love your videos and trust your opinions. Waiting on the next video have a super day Dan the Man!!
Another cracking review Dan, and i got to say mate, thats one hell of a rifle for the price, looking forward to the next video mate, keep the great video's coming Cheers
Thanks Casper! It's a wonderful rifle it really is. The only let down is the plastic trigger and guard but other than that it's easily one of the best springers on the market.
Thanks Roy! The lines of it are beautiful and the action is silky smooth. You can see when I do the trigger test where I'm barely holding the rifle that it still doesn't jolt/try to kick my arse haha. So far all of the Cometa rifles have been lovely to shoot. We'll see how the PCP's do next and we need to come back and do the little 220.
Great review and video! I own the standard fusion in .22 and it’s a great bit of kit especially for the price! I also agree on its looks! Fantastic! Best wishes 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Well Dan, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, another awesome review video. And what a lovely little rifle. Stunning to look at and lovely and accurate. I think I’m going to have to add one to the cabinet and get back to shooting in the sprinter class at my HFT club. My FTP900 will have to watch from the sidelines!!
@@phillipsharpe6459 I'll get on it. I need to get one in mate but with everything that has gone on it has been impossible. We did have a chap come down who offered to let us borrow it for review but it had been modified/regged. I want a plain Jane example.
I bought the same model, but in .177 caliber, a short time ago, and only got around to shooting with it last week. I found just about exactly what you have shown here, mine too likes the Super Domes. I have to say, I am surprised and well pleased at the low recoil from this Fusion Did the muzzle brake help, maybe so, I don't have the ability to prove yay or nay on this point. I am very happy with my purchase and the dealer's sales rep. was the reason I 'went ' with this Cometa and the model Fusion, I am most pleased now, that this review has proved my thoughts. Would I buy another Cometa Air Rifle, yes Sir!
Hi Reg! I was thinking the same thing, is the muzzle break just a gimmick like you see on many guns but there's no denying how little these kick, I'd love to handle a .22 which would be even softer to shoot. I'm glad to hear you've joined our Cometa family Reg I'm hoping to show more people how brilliantly made and accurate these rifles really are. Thanks Reg!
@@regsparkes6507 Exactly mate. I usually try to keep myself a bit reserved when it comes to the final verdicts as I know some reviews can be seen as little more than advertisements (I'm on the back foot here being an RFD too) but with the Fusion you can't help but praise it. It really is a wonderful gun.
Thanks Kev! We had a walnut version come in specially for a customer the other day and that is gorgeous. I might upload some pics to the AGF. We'll be doing the Cometa Orion's next... great guns but I can't figure out how to break the barrel!
Wow! Please will do things to the trigger this could be the best (accurate )break barrel !!!! Dan another great vid can't believe these are so unheard-of ? Would go and by one now in 22 with a Welsh willy trigger, as it stands hopefully next tear when things are a little more normal!!
Hey Kevin! They're corkers the Cometas. We need to make enough of a noise and a stink and see if we can persuade Will would be interested to make us up some triggers. Thanks Kevin!
@@bigdansairguns83 getting on the forums now mate need to get these noticed I have been keeping my finger on the pulse for a new air riffle for well over a year now, if I new about the fusion I would already own one! Least of all with a Welsh Willy trigger
Hi Andy! The Fusion is a fantastic rifle. If you want open sights I highly recommend taking a look at the Fenix 400. Open sights, same trigger, same barrel and you can get an adjustable cheekpiece. Thanks Andy and if you need a hand or want to have a play with a Fenix 400 contact us at www.bigdansairguns.co.uk.
Hey bud! I wouldn't say Ace haha. You should see me shoot a springer after I've been handling PCP's I'm shotgunning all over the place. With that Fusion though I was determined to see what that rifle could do as I knew it could do some much better than my original groups. Thanks mate!
Hi Sergio! Aaaah don't ask me that! Anything but that haha. For me simply because it'd be easier to hunt with I'd choose the Ultra Short Carbine. I prefer working rifles to range rifles usually and it's still a ridiculously accurate little rifle but the handling on that little thing is superb. If I was more into target shooting however it'd be the Fusion, its already proven itself at 40 yards but it's also such a beautiful looking thing, it'd definitely get a ton of looks at the range. Saying this however the little 300 is still tempting as it's such a lovely rifle for the money and still incredibly accurate. But for me it's the USC.
Great video Dan.One comment can you put a mike up near the targets when youre doin the accuracy test....LOL I'm a bit sight impared and have a job seeing the pellets hit the target. :)
Hey mate and thanks for watching the video I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll see what I can do, we mute the audio as when sped up it sounds nasty. That being said I'll see if we can do some real time shooting so the sound should be much more pleasant. Thanks for the feedback and I'll see what I can do!
That is amazing accuracy with the superdomes bud, please test a .177 from the 400 series as if they have nailed these barrels now I will definitely look at one again.
Hi Matthew! I'll see what I can do mate. What might be quickest is if you contact us on the site so we have your Email address I can send pictures of any .177's that we've been asked to accuracy test. Thanks Matthew!
Thanks Lee! You won't be disappointed in either one buddy from what I've seen personally and from customer feedback, all seem to be more than a bit smitten with them!
That is a nice looking springer Dan and accuracy to match. Seems like an absolute bargain package. Just a shame about that plastic trigger/guard Doh!!!
Hey Ranger! It's an absolutely beautiful rifle mate but like you've said they just can't help but fit plastic triggers to them! If I can find a company that makes new blades for these and guards I'm having them fitted out of the box.
Hi Dorian! The rifle was a spring powered bog standard Fusion. (Shameless plug alert) If you want to see another standard spring Fusion put through its paces further check out my "100 yard springer" video.
@@bigdansairguns83 hi I have checked the other one out. the reason I'm asking is because there's a gas ram version as well and I wonder if it's as accurate? it seems that only the gas ram version is available in my country?! it would be interesting to compare both systems side by side?!
please can you do a comparison on the Cometa Fusion spring and gas ram...it would be 8nteresting to see which system is the most accurate and has the least recoil out of the two?
Down think me and you were shooting the same gun I cleaned barrel first shot 7 different pellets.is the guns you get tuned by the gunsmith you get them from. I could never get anywhere near grips u we’re getting even inside.
Hi Mark! It's an eye catching beast isn't it? I love the lines on the rifle and that checkering pattern is beautiful. I wasn't sure on the muzzle break to be begin with but when you see it in person it finishes the rifle off perfectly. The walnut version is a handsome beast too.
Hi, I'm very interested in this model, I see that Cometa offers and option of Spring powered or gas powered, would love to see a video on how they each perform?!
Very interesting rifle this, although plastic trigger parts are a turn-off. My Cometa 5 .22 was probably the least sophisticated, least expensive airgun in the shop when it was bought in the '90s and even that most basic model has a metal trigger and trigger guard. I like it because it's so basic, open sights, no safety catch, no checkering on the simple wood stock. Easy to cock and has a strong ball-detent lock up. The barrel is surprisingly good and for what it is (a little gun for plinking) it still works like a charm.
Hey Beesa! Yeah the plastic triggers really get on my nerves as I'm sure people would gladly pay a few extra ££'s for a metal blade. All brands do it however even some of the premium gear use plastic despite the cost of them. A bit cheeky to be fair.
@@bigdansairguns83 Cheers Dan, yeah to be fair it is. Even if it's supposedly a 'high impact polymer' or 'weight saving composite' or whatever, it's pretty obvious that metal beats plastic as a trigger.
Hi Dan. I did let you know that me and my sons Cometas 220-300-400. All love RWS superdomes and superfields. A lot of my guns like Crossman Premier ultra magnums. They do the standard doomed - very nice pointed - and a hollow point the hollows are the most accurate hollow points I have ever shot and they work in my Logun Pro. I feel the same i dislike all these Plastic triggers and trigger guards no need. BSA/Gamo are using to many plastic triggers they make a gun feel cheap. I wonder if WEBBS or ROWEN Enginering are doing any trigger conversion. Theirs a gunsmith at Sealand shooting range. I had given my son a new 300 and the trigger was bad the gunsmith spent 15 min on the gun striping it and stoning the trigger shears Jesus it was a different gun the trigger was so smooth and it shot smoother i think he polished the piston has well. He charged me a £10er. Outstanding. Good review as ever Dan.
Thanks Russell! Yeah we did some testing after our 400 USC review and it loved RWS Superpoints as well I wish I'd tested them with this as you never know. Odd that your 300 had a naff trigger as ours have all been superb. Was it a new 300 by any chance? Thanks Russell.
@@bigdansairguns83 It`s many years ago now but yes it was a new 300 with a metal trigger. It was newness my 300 was so smooth but the new one needed a few thousand rounds through it. But my son being inpatient. So i let the Gunsmith sort it best £10 I ever spent it was shooting Sweeter than my 300. Nowt like a happy sons smile.
I have that very gun in .22, that and my AA TX200 are my favourite springers, I do have a Diana 48 in .177 that I am fond of too but it is hefty! Amazingly, my pellet choice matches yours, .22 Superdomes! JSB Exact go pretty well too from my experience. I had always thought it was a matt black anodised aluminium trigger unit but as you say, it is 'ballistic' plastic as gun makers like to call it, interesting the lower end Cometa's have metal ones, how bizarre
Hey Baz! Ah yes... the "ballistic synthetic polymer", fancy plastic. I just don't understand why the cheaper rifles get metal while the flagship rifles like the Fusion/400's etc all get plast-err ballistic polymer? I'm trying to source someone that could knock us a few new blades up. Imagine your Fusion with a brass or silver blade. Gorgeous!
How loud would you say this rifle is? Obviously it has no ability to add a moderator but I have heard it has some form of moderation within the barrell
Hi Deathboom. The rifle is pretty quiet to be fair. The Fusion's also don't have any real twang to them that really helps and that long barrel definitely helps to make it more mute than some. Thanks mate and I hope this helps!
Hi Micael! Yes you can the brake itself is threaded into the barrel shroud. Just be advised that it'll likely have loctite on there. You can also remove the shroud completely with the small grub screw located on the bottom
@ hey, thank you so much for answering so quickly! I will try and remove it then Was applying quite a lot of force by hand and it would budge Have a nice day!
Hi Ashwaghosh. I haven't shot the Diana 350 yet so I can't comment much on that unfortunately. That being said the Fusion is certainly one helluva rifle. If I can get my hands on a Diana Magnum I'll see what I can do.
@@bigdansairguns83Any news on the plastic trigger? Spring is coming and likely to take up this air gun malarkey soon as yet another retirement hobby. I am torn between a .22 Fusion and HW95.
Love your videos great review man hey I am here America I just order one same exact gun in 177 u think it will kick more when shooting it because here America it’s between 15 and 17 foot pounds
Hey Justin! I honestly can't choose between them. I think the USC might just squeak ahead for me as it's more of a working gun and I'm always biased towards those but that Fusion is a stunner. I'll wait to hear from you mate.
In my opinion the Air Arms CD unit is the best, better than the Rekord. The T06 is good too but not as good as Air Arms and too different from the Rekord to really say if it's better. To me, the TO6 is a little less predictable than the Rekord maybe, but can be adjusted easier and can be made extremely light.
Hi Patrick! I'd take either one! That said I haven't been able to play with a T-06 yet but I've heard very good things. I like a light trigger so that could be my favourite of the three. Thanks Patrick!
I hunt with a 80s long barrel and then shoot at the range does that come of and what are the threads and if right, threads, and I will put a moderator on it
You have done 100, 300, Fusion reviews.....I hope your revision for Cometa 220, I want to have one for my birthday but there is no review one about it.
Hi Gabi! Thanks for getting in touch, the 220 will be the next springer we review and from what I've seen and heard from customer feedback they're a stonking little rifle. I'll see what I can do for you Gabi.
Hi Dan, is the cometa fusion trigger better than the SMK XS20? I still can't believe these plastic triggers ! I just can't understand it, just to save a few quid ??
Hey Toxic! The trigger from the factory is lighter than the XS20 unit which I personally prefer over a heavier trigger. It depends on what sort of pull you prefer as they're both excellent triggers.
Yes I see what you mean. lovley rifle, just hope the after market comes in with a metal trigger .. I have two hw97's I understand you get what you pay for. I also have a beeman duel .22 I can forgive the plastic guard for the money I payed. (£180) But £295 and plastic. Cheers Dan brilliant work mate keep it up !!!
@@toxicliver Exactly my thoughts mate. Sub £200 plastic isn't really worth complaining about unless it's a huge unnecessary glob of it on the end of the barrel. That's the lovely thing about Weihrauch, everything that should be metal is metal (with exception to the HW110).
Hi SND. In my opinion it's the superior rifle. The trigger is a little better, the shot cycle is smoother and it kicks a bit less despite being the same power. That being said the Sabre is still an excellent rifle but the Fusion is on another level at least in my opinion. Thanks and I hope this helps.
Hey Michael. It shouldn't make a difference but if you slapped a silencer on there it'd be huge!! You wouldn't need to take aim at the rabbit you could just rest the silencer against its head haha. To be fair the rifle is quiet anyways as that big barrel does an excellent job at calming any muzzle report.
Very detailed review, Dan. Good shooting at 40 yards! Would you please give it a close-up shot near the breech? I'm curious about the barrel locking mechanism. Thank you!
Hey Run Run! The best thing to do is get in touch with me via our contact us page at www.bigdansairguns.co.uk/contact.php This way I can send pictures etc. The rifle uses the same ball bearing detent as the other Cometas.
With your last Video on the 2 Cometa Rifles. Do you think this will make a Good Trainer Rifle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Title of the Video Says .22 Dan Thanks for the Video. 👍👍👍👍
@@yetiwheeler7972 Hi Yeti. The Konus 550 is a fantastic target scope. It doesn't use mildots but has a stepped ballistic reticle which I find less intrusive than a mildot scope. They're also a tough bit of kit too being rated for the US centerfire market.
I have 3 Weihrauch rifles and also have 2 Cometas in my collection, performance wise the the Cometas will equal the Weihrauchs and at times come out on top. So with respect you need to do your homework.
Plastic trigger again .... 👎👎👎 ..... Again I'de pass on this rifle just because of the cheap parts that would cost pennies for the manufacturer to put right .
It is very annoying to be fair. That being said Cometa are excellent at responding to feedback so hopefully the next few batches may have lovely metal triggers on them. The unit itself is actually excellent but manufacturers can't help but throw plastic on there. Cheers bud.
Está muy baja de potencia!!! No llega ni ha 20 juls!! Cuál es el motivo!! Pues yo tengo una fénix 400 en 5.5 y está ha unos 23 juls aproximadamente. Dependiendo del díabolo peso y aerodinámica del mismo! Saludos desde Madrid España
Hey Bud. I like Weihrauch as much as the next man but have you shot the latest Cometa rifles? Might be worth trying one as they're right up there with HW now in our accuracy tests. We actually have a customer in Norfolk who bought a 220 off of us and says it outshoots his tuned HW95. You can see his post on the Longwater Rifle Club page on FB. Cheers!
RWS Superdomes 8.3 gr are best in all my guns. But dont tell anyone... More for me! They are cheap compared to some big brands that do worse in my guns. My Crosman, Ruger, Beeman all like them. Best. Even at 1,000 fps (Beeman Mantis). At 30 meters, 0.3" group, $129 usd. Yeah. Good video.
Again,,these look magic,,for hunters and target,,,but love the laminate,,,its very very good,
Hey Lerosh!
They're a stunning rifle aren't they. The beech rifle as seen here looks even better with the gold trigger blade.

My Cometa 5 .22 was probably the least sophisticated, least expensive airgun in the shop when it was bought in the '90s and even that most basic model has a metal trigger and trigger guard. I like it because it's so basic, open sights, no safety catch, no checkering on the simple wood stock. Easy to cock and has a strong ball-detent lock up. The barrel is surprisingly good and for what it is (a little gun for plinking) it still works like a charm.
Hey Beesa!
Yeah the plastic triggers really get on my nerves as I'm sure people would gladly pay a few extra ££'s for a metal blade. All brands do it however even some of the premium gear use plastic despite the cost of them. A bit cheeky to be fair.
@@bigdansairguns83 Cheers Dan, yeah to be fair it is. Even if it's supposedly a 'high impact polymer' or 'weight saving composite' or whatever, it's pretty obvious that metal beats plastic as a trigger.
Hi Dan. I did let you know that me and my sons Cometas 220-300-400. All love RWS superdomes and superfields. A lot of my guns like Crossman Premier ultra magnums. They do the standard doomed - very nice pointed - and a hollow point the hollows are the most accurate hollow points I have ever shot and they work in my Logun Pro. I feel the same i dislike all these Plastic triggers and trigger guards no need. BSA/Gamo are using to many plastic triggers they make a gun feel cheap. I wonder if WEBBS or ROWEN Enginering are doing any trigger conversion. Theirs a gunsmith at Sealand shooting range. I had given my son a new 300 and the trigger was bad the gunsmith spent 15 min on the gun striping it and stoning the trigger shears Jesus it was a different gun the trigger was so smooth and it shot smoother i think he polished the piston has well. He charged me a £10er. Outstanding. Good review as ever Dan.
Thanks Russell! Yeah we did some testing after our 400 USC review and it loved RWS Superpoints as well I wish I'd tested them with this as you never know. Odd that your 300 had a naff trigger as ours have all been superb. Was it a new 300 by any chance?
Thanks Russell.
@@bigdansairguns83 It`s many years ago now but yes it was a new 300 with a metal trigger. It was newness my 300 was so smooth but the new one needed a few thousand rounds through it. But my son being inpatient. So i let the Gunsmith sort it best £10 I ever spent it was shooting Sweeter than my 300. Nowt like a happy sons smile.
I have that very gun in .22, that and my AA TX200 are my favourite springers, I do have a Diana 48 in .177 that I am fond of too but it is hefty! Amazingly, my pellet choice matches yours, .22 Superdomes! JSB Exact go pretty well too from my experience. I had always thought it was a matt black anodised aluminium trigger unit but as you say, it is 'ballistic' plastic as gun makers like to call it, interesting the lower end Cometa's have metal ones, how bizarre
Hey Baz!
Ah yes... the "ballistic synthetic polymer", fancy plastic.
I just don't understand why the cheaper rifles get metal while the flagship rifles like the Fusion/400's etc all get plast-err ballistic polymer? I'm trying to source someone that could knock us a few new blades up. Imagine your Fusion with a brass or silver blade. Gorgeous!
How loud would you say this rifle is? Obviously it has no ability to add a moderator but I have heard it has some form of moderation within the barrell
Hi Deathboom.
The rifle is pretty quiet to be fair. The Fusion's also don't have any real twang to them that really helps and that long barrel definitely helps to make it more mute than some.
Thanks mate and I hope this helps!
@@bigdansairguns83 thank you for such a quick reply. And I was hoping you were going to day that haha
hey, are you able to remove the muzzle brake on the Comet Fusion?
Hi Micael! Yes you can the brake itself is threaded into the barrel shroud. Just be advised that it'll likely have loctite on there. You can also remove the shroud completely with the small grub screw located on the bottom
@ hey, thank you so much for answering so quickly!
I will try and remove it then
Was applying quite a lot of force by hand and it would budge
Have a nice day!
Great review Dan👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks Alan!
Very nice looking.
Sir
Cometa fujen or Daina magnum 350
Which rifle is best?
Hi Ashwaghosh.
I haven't shot the Diana 350 yet so I can't comment much on that unfortunately. That being said the Fusion is certainly one helluva rifle. If I can get my hands on a Diana Magnum I'll see what I can do.
Thank you so much. could it shoot longer ranges like 100 meters ?
A year on have Cometa done anything about the plastic trigger?
Hey bud!
Something is definitely stirring in Spain but if I say any more they may turn up in red robes and harass me.
@@bigdansairguns83Any news on the plastic trigger? Spring is coming and likely to take up this air gun malarkey soon as yet another retirement hobby. I am torn between a .22 Fusion and HW95.
@@bigdansairguns83Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition! 😂
Love your videos great review man hey I am here America I just order one same exact gun in 177 u think it will kick more when shooting it because here America it’s between 15 and 17 foot pounds
I was thinking on the smk b3 series... (Chinese underlever rifle) It would be wonderful if you review one of them, cheap and good, you'll love it
Hi Eduardo!
We do have one with us at the moment actually which we do plan on reviewing in the future. Watch this space.
😊👌Excellent review. Fusion or usc. I WILL be intouch.
Hey Justin!
I honestly can't choose between them. I think the USC might just squeak ahead for me as it's more of a working gun and I'm always biased towards those but that Fusion is a stunner. I'll wait to hear from you mate.
In my opinion the Air Arms CD unit is the best, better than the Rekord. The T06 is good too but not as good as Air Arms and too different from the Rekord to really say if it's better. To me, the TO6 is a little less predictable than the Rekord maybe, but can be adjusted easier and can be made extremely light.
Hi Patrick!
I'd take either one! That said I haven't been able to play with a T-06 yet but I've heard very good things. I like a light trigger so that could be my favourite of the three.
Thanks Patrick!
I hunt with a 80s long barrel and then shoot at the range does that come of and what are the threads and if right, threads, and I will put a moderator on it
You have done 100, 300, Fusion reviews.....I hope your revision for Cometa 220, I want to have one for my birthday but there is no review one about it.
Hi Gabi!
Thanks for getting in touch, the 220 will be the next springer we review and from what I've seen and heard from customer feedback they're a stonking little rifle.
I'll see what I can do for you Gabi.
@@bigdansairguns83 Thank you Dan, I will waiting for it!!
Hi dan, have you ever used a stoeger x20? was looking at one and wondering if you know much about them
could you see if you can do a remington express .22 please?
Hi Dan, is the cometa fusion trigger better than the SMK XS20? I still can't believe these plastic triggers ! I just can't understand it, just to save a few quid ??
Hey Toxic!
The trigger from the factory is lighter than the XS20 unit which I personally prefer over a heavier trigger. It depends on what sort of pull you prefer as they're both excellent triggers.
Yes I see what you mean. lovley rifle, just hope the after market comes in with a metal trigger .. I have two hw97's I understand you get what you pay for. I also have a beeman duel .22 I can forgive the plastic guard for the money I payed. (£180) But £295 and plastic. Cheers Dan brilliant work mate keep it up !!!
@@toxicliver Exactly my thoughts mate. Sub £200 plastic isn't really worth complaining about unless it's a huge unnecessary glob of it on the end of the barrel.
That's the lovely thing about Weihrauch, everything that should be metal is metal (with exception to the HW110).
Is Cometa Fusion better airgun than Remington Sabre?
Hi SND.
In my opinion it's the superior rifle. The trigger is a little better, the shot cycle is smoother and it kicks a bit less despite being the same power. That being said the Sabre is still an excellent rifle but the Fusion is on another level at least in my opinion.
Thanks and I hope this helps.
hello sir, i have one, but i don t know how much joule ?
Great testing but will it be accurate with a silencer on it ???
Hey Michael.
It shouldn't make a difference but if you slapped a silencer on there it'd be huge!! You wouldn't need to take aim at the rabbit you could just rest the silencer against its head haha. To be fair the rifle is quiet anyways as that big barrel does an excellent job at calming any muzzle report.
@@bigdansairguns83 thank you
Very detailed review, Dan. Good shooting at 40 yards! Would you please give it a close-up shot near the breech? I'm curious about the barrel locking mechanism. Thank you!
Hey Run Run!
The best thing to do is get in touch with me via our contact us page at www.bigdansairguns.co.uk/contact.php
This way I can send pictures etc. The rifle uses the same ball bearing detent as the other Cometas.
it's a ball detent mechanism. works well.
All the good stuff and the put a plastic trigger on it .
With your last Video on the 2 Cometa Rifles. Do you think this will make a Good Trainer Rifle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Title of the Video Says .22 Dan Thanks for the Video. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Yeti.
Doh! I'll get that changed it's where I've shot so many .22's lately haha. Thanks for the heads up!
@@bigdansairguns83 What scope is on the gun
@@bigdansairguns83 Is it a good Target Scope???
@@yetiwheeler7972 Hi Yeti.
The Konus 550 is a fantastic target scope. It doesn't use mildots but has a stepped ballistic reticle which I find less intrusive than a mildot scope. They're also a tough bit of kit too being rated for the US centerfire market.
@@bigdansairguns83 How much is the 550 scope please mate ???
Nice rewiew..
Thanks Fernando!
Quality
I have 3 Weihrauch rifles and also have 2 Cometas in my collection, performance wise the the Cometas will equal the Weihrauchs and at times come out on
top. So with respect you need to do your homework.
My previous post was not aimed at Dan it was aimed at the idiot decrying Cometa air rifles.
Plastic trigger again .... 👎👎👎 ..... Again I'de pass on this rifle just because of the cheap parts that would cost pennies for the manufacturer to put right .
It is very annoying to be fair. That being said Cometa are excellent at responding to feedback so hopefully the next few batches may have lovely metal triggers on them. The unit itself is actually excellent but manufacturers can't help but throw plastic on there.
Cheers bud.
Está muy baja de potencia!!! No llega ni ha 20 juls!! Cuál es el motivo!! Pues yo tengo una fénix 400 en 5.5 y está ha unos 23 juls aproximadamente. Dependiendo del díabolo peso y aerodinámica del mismo! Saludos desde Madrid España
Buy a weirauch and you will forget about cometa junk
Hey Bud.
I like Weihrauch as much as the next man but have you shot the latest Cometa rifles? Might be worth trying one as they're right up there with HW now in our accuracy tests.
We actually have a customer in Norfolk who bought a 220 off of us and says it outshoots his tuned HW95. You can see his post on the Longwater Rifle Club page on FB.
Cheers!
