- This is a full review of the Umarex ZELOS PCP air rifle, available now in .22 and .25 caliber. This video will also show you how to tune your ZELOS for the best accuracy using heavy JSB pellets or airgun slugs. We will also be demonstrating the power and accuracy of the "Super Tune", once we get this .22 caliber Umarex ZELOS shooting at a consistent 915 feet per second with the heavy 25.39gr JSB Redesign .22 caliber pellets. Putting 48 foot pounds on target is no joke! You are guaranteed to be impressed by this affordable PCP air rifle that delivers top end accuracy and adjustable power.
How does this compare to the FX Impact M4? You will find out in this full ZELOS review video! Thanks for watching! -Nate

This UX Zelos is a rebranding of SnowPeak L-M60 that exist in version "B" for bottle (reason of the gap between barrel and cylinder)
Where can I get a bottle?
@@AirgunChannelcheck inspire precision he converted to a bottle
@@AirgunChannel Air Gun Archery Fun. The guy that owns it is a great guy, he can set you up. airgunarcheryfun.ca
Snowpeak has a new, upgraded version of M60 the Snowpeak Max 1. It has now 2 constant air pressure chambers, one is around the barrel and the other is the ordinary air cylinder. May-be you can remove the cylinder and install a bottle? Totalling 550 CC, and has also a plenum, that is missing in M60 and M60B variants. In their homepage, the info is that the gun is 120J with .22 calibre slug.
I tuned mine down to 1800 PSI on the reg, dialed the hammer spring, and it shoots 18.13 JSBs like a laser. Plus, I'm getting two full mags with 300-ish PSI left in the tank. It's sending those 18g JSBs at 940 fps with amazing consistency. I love this gun. It shoots just as good as my Throne Gen 2 after I got it dialed in for 940 FPS with the same pellet. Same hole and puppy toes all day. Killa!
That's exactly what I will do!
Great video !!!! I am so glad another reviewer got the same results as me. The Zelos shoots like a laser !
I love it. I want to tune it down to 15.89gr or 18.1gr and get 40+ shots! ...and 700cc CF bottle conversion coming soon! See you at the PY Air Cup! -Nate
The trick shots are always my favorite part of the video
Right on! You stay till the end!
Ordered mine today! It will be replacing a fix m3, fix crown, and fix dreamtac, all leaking.
You need to send those in for a re-seal and then sell them on airgun nation classifieds...or sell them leaking.
😮 nice accurate gun, good review as always....I wonder if you can install a bottle for more shots... hopefully so
I wonder if that's why they left so much room.
airgunarcheryfun.ca The guy that owns is a great guy, he has bottles and everything you need for it
Emagin that with a bigger bottle ,cracking video Nate,showing how to get the best out of the rifle with a simple tune up,,,very nice.
Getting bottle conversion soon. airgunarcheryfun.ca/m60b-new-style-bottle-valve-with-fill-nipple-and-gauge/
Awesome review Nate , like always , sweet pcp wish it was a bottle pcp with a high shot count , the accuracy is tight
Yeah, maybe more shots if you shoot 18gr at 890
@@AirgunChannel 🎯😎👍
Awesome video, your camera work is 2nd to none. Preformance of this rifle is better than I expected, how ever I think it’s kinda ugly. There is a fella out there that has installed a 500cc carbon fiber bottle, and it looks a lot better IMO, and probably doubles shot count. If I buy one( and I probably will) I would definitely upgrade the bottle. Also IMO, it in this form not be more than double of a Notos, maybe if it had the upgraded bottle, then the $600 tag would be more in line. Again very impressive Preformance and easy to tune. Keep up the great work.😊
Yes, I want to get a bottle too.
Great video AGC. I'm a co2/Springer guy who's ready for my first PCP......the zelos is the ONE ! HELL YEAH. 👍
It will need to be tuned...but yeah. Get the CF Bottle conversion linked in the pinned comment.
Another brilliant review of a nice looking rifle. Great fun 👍👍
Thanks! Yeah, That one I'm keeping.
@@AirgunChannel
Big thumbs up for that! 👍👍
I’m hoping they come out with the 30 Cal soon
Me too. I got the bottle for mine.
It looks like they did a pretty good job with this rifle. Excellent review as always!
They did. Bottle conversion on the way!
ive been eye balllin this guy Im waiting for some more reviews I feel a little off about the fact it has barely any shots
It rocks. If you turned it down for lighter pellets you may get 50+ shots per fill.
@@AirgunChannel so is it more accurate than the jts airacuda max? I am trying to find a gun better than my airacuda max I do like how light it is and the adjustable seems really nice with the zelos
17:01 “Da$n it! I was thinking about what I was going to say.” The most relatable part of the video 😂
Thanks Jamie! -Nate
Great rifle(s) the Zelos and Notos.🤠🇺🇸
Great combo!
Snowpeak M60B and Artemis PP750 .
My neighbor had a crawl space like that and he had me frame him a wooden runway like a deck all the way across that, you could put a ledger on your concrete wall and put a couple posts in that dirt and build you a flat deck, you could walk along back there.
That would be nice for ya.
That's my dream!
I’m excited about this one too! I love the notos and if this is a bigger badder version then I’m in!! I think it looks way better than the m4 but I’m not a fx fan so it’s just my opinion.
It is better because it's more simple and shoot as good. Gotta love that power. You can also convert it to carbon fiber bottle for under $200. Get the Snowpeak M60B bottle valve.
It seems weird that you can't adjust the reg up ( or increase pressure) when under pressure. If you are totality degassed, then how can you see the reg pressure?
You have to guess.
Thanks for another great review Nate! I was just thinking last week about taking a break from purchasing another pcp then I saw this video, I think I m going to make an exception again
You can't take breaks!
Could you do this again using only slugs ? Thanks, and I really appreciate you and your content
Probably not becuase we just have too many videos to make. Sorry. try 25.39gr JSB knockout or 25gr NSA with the exact same tune.
Great Review!
Thank you! -Nate
Redizy I'm gonna use that, TR7 still lookin good, I always wanted that car had a dicast model of one when I was a kid
Me too! Then I got one.
Nice shooting, nice rifle. How does the Zelos compare to the McAvity MA1? Similar price point. Which do you get a bigger bang for your buck?
I guess it depends if you like the style. They are probably the same, but Makavity may get more shots.
Great video as always! Which small tripod is that?
Talon Tunes CF Mini talontunes.com/shop/talontunes-mini-carbon-fiber-tripod/
Thanks for another great review bro. It's a decent rifle for the price..
Yeah, I like the power.
Excelente video como siempre y el rifle impresionante 👍👍👏👏👌👌🧉 saludos y buen finde semana 👍🇦🇷
Thank you! -Nate
Cool new rifle ! Just wondering, how much time do you spend on hot gluing your targets together?! it must be fun !
These video take 1 hour of editing for every one minute of video, plus the set up and filming/shooting time. Ity's a 40 hour a week thing.
Why is there no .177 for the zelos? Umerax should build them in the 4.5mm calibre too for those nations restricted by the calibre size.
I agree
Snowpeak M60B (same rifle ) is offered in .177.
Would Like to see more long range accuracy up to 75yrds.. most people's videos only show 40-55yrds..
Coming next. I bought 2 of those and got the bottle conversion for a video.
would love to see you review the .25 cal of this one!
Maybe
Just got mine the other day. Packs a wallop!! Still wanting an M4 😅❤. Got a Zulus scope too and it's gonna make me crazy til I get it tuned in.😢
Sounds fun!
@AirgunChannel 😆 I've already aired it up 3 times and dumped 3 mags. Still a bit hot here but we had clouds. Still messing with this zulus scope. I can still hit clusters at 25yrs .
@@armedfelon632 Nice!
Good Morning Nate! Great shooting brother. Why hasn't JTS sent you a full selection of their awesome pellets. Do you think they should be included with the other 3 brands? With so many big named guys shooters using them for competition. One would think "THE AIRGUN CHANNEL" would be on the list, TOO? LOL I never thought I'd ever buy an air rifle and spend more than 5 bills for one. Now you have me thinking do I get the Zelos or the M60B? LMAO What do you think?
JTS has been ignoring me since the beginning, they don't talk to youtubers.
Nate, compared to the Avenge X which would you choose with the Zelos in terms of power, magazine functions and overall quality?
You need the Zelos but with a 700cc bottle conversion. Look in the pinned comment for the link to the M60B bottle kit. You will then need to buy a bigger bottle. They come with 420cc Carbon Fiber bottles. Zelos will need to be tuned though, as shown.
Would you say this is a better gun than the Avenge-X? similar price point.
If you ad the bottle mod it it. Shot count too low compared to the Avenge-X . Link in pinned comment for bottle mod.
Instead of "poor mans" you should say "The smart mans FX" shoots pretty much the same as any of those FX platforms and half the price and very durable build as well as a solid LW barrel, if your smart you'll go for that.
Yeah, your right. You can be rich and just not want to waste money...that's how you got rich in the first place, after all.
@@AirgunChannel but hey I know what you meant in the title, the more affordable option to an FX 💯👌🏼
DAMN!!
I know. Amazing $599 gun
I maybe skipping the epoch and just getting this thing. With a bottle conversion.
I have the bottle conversion coming.
so it will get 25 shots at 40fpe aprox, hmmm well i do like the magazines, but honestly , i get more out of an avenger rifle or bullpup. and deffinitly get more out of any of my aea airguns.
sure wish the zealous was less expensive. i could toss the money away for it then.
good video though.
course you have always made good videos. i figured out how to suppress the custom avenger .25cal 's custom end cap, that one with the ported tube comming off it from dony fl,
you just get some thick felt and cut it to go around that and about 8" long so it will go over the barrel too, now get some of that rubberizer they dip tennis raquette handles into and dip that tube end into that stuff, about an inch worth, let it dry.
now when you slide that onto the barrel end it has some rubber between it and the felt around it will make it like an internal suppresser. done deal almost, now final touch, bicycle inner tube , cut a piece about the same diameter as the inside of the shroud, now roll that felt up and slide it into that piece of bicycle tube, now ya got rubber between the barrel and tube and rubber between the felt and shroud and slide it in and slide the tube in screwing it inthe shroud and you are now done modding that and it is fairly quiet,
i can hear the hammerspring noise more than the shot and hear the projectile hit more than either , so it gets suppression without a suppresser attached . bingo and you are welcome....
Thanks for the info on the de-ping mod. Good stuff!
@@AirgunChannel not a issue, iknow you got that green laminate avenger an it hs the same dony end cap .
my custom is a squatch green all over except the rails and the side leaver is blood orange. .
ayway i know you got that same endcap so need the info isnce that thing really maks the aveger loud.
nw the zealous, if it produced 60fpe i would admit it ws worth $599 smiles because you could regulate it down to 40fpe and get like 70 shots. and with an 18 shot mag that would be amost 4 mags.
now my aea hp standard custom it gets 70 regulated shots at 70 fpe. and has 15 shot mags. but it is bolt action so i had to put a extension making a 3"bolt on i. but it is hands down the quietest air rifle i own.
i just recently put a 500cc tank on it. had to put a dony tanto on just to make the barrel longer than the tank haha. but now it gets even more energy and more shots. and i can fill it to 4500 and have to use the reg, or i can fill it to 3600 and take the reg out and it still gets a extreme spread of less than 50 .
only my big bores make me smile mor.
but since i did those mods to the avenger dony end cap , it is really growing on me. i lie it better than the bullpup i gave to a person who had no airgun experience at all.
anyway that rubber dip , it has alot of uses, dip a whole tank in it and reduce that hammer ping sound. but it is essentially latex so remember not to use it where your skin will regularly handle. i found a foam sleeve for the tak works too.or on ebay they have these covers for a domy emperor ldc and you can take that cover and slide it onto a 2" dia tank, other ldc covers are different diameters but those will also stop the ping sound.
and amazon has m14x1" extensions for barrels that are m14x1"
thanks for the videos, if i could make good ones i would have made more, logistically gotta figure out how to domore now.
be blessed and always aim true.
You should put some slugs to it see how it does. Can a bottle be fitted to that
Yes. Look up snow peak m60b same gun with bottle and they make tube to bottle kits.
@@daworm38 It's not exactly the same gun as the Snowpeak M60. The M60 has a 205cc reservoir with a 24" barrel. The Zelos has a 250cc reservoir with a 26" barrel. But yes, the Snowpeak M60B (bottle version) would have more reservoir capacity but still the 24" barrel.
@@RG-oj8br true. But as I said the kit will fit both
I hope they will do a .357 like the snowpeak. I have there m25 and getting parts is a pain.
Yes, made to accept a bottle
If you had to pick between the zelos.25 or the G2 30 sl for Comp witch one would you pick ..
Never tried the .25 Probably the .30 G2. More shots per fill
$600 for that gun and that’s a poor man’s gun. I really need to choose your words better. FX robs the shit out of people that Zelos is made 10 times stronger than that junk M4 with a straw for a barrel
The $299 Hatsan Flash that just came out is regulated and really shoots 18.1gr good. as well as 15.89gr
Damn Awesome 😎👍🏼
Yes, The ZELOS is a good one.
I never had a .25 caliber
Just wondering if you recommend the 25 caliber version of zelos
Maybe not due to the low shot count.
Curious, do you make your own targets for the group testing?
I just stick on the "hole repair" sections of my left over Splatter Burst targets. On some .50 cent card stock it makes an easy to see target. The pellet trap was made by a viewer. I actually made this target: th-cam.com/video/dTCUpdtayQM/w-d-xo.html
Yea.. Kinda the Snowpeak.. But. I'd take a Zelos anyhow. Not seen the Snowpeak 60 anywhere near me - even though other Snowpeak models surely seen..🙄
ZELOS is better I hope.
Am I understanding correctly that you must degas the gun to adjust the regulator up?
You are supposed to but I did not. I only turned it 1/8 turn then shot it in between.
Nice.
Oh, it's a peach!
Can you get a bigger tank for it
see the pinned comment. I just ordered one.
6:40 I didn't know it shot 925gr pellets 😂
that's 25.39gr at 920 fps
Is it more quiet than the notos?
The same. It's quiet without a moderator
Would you be able to test it at 100 yards?
Yes, coming next
@@AirgunChannel Oh man if it shoots good at 100 I am buying it! I will also use your link.
Tell me about that tripod

@@AirgunChannel thanks. I saw you touch on it briefly in a Skout Epoch video where you said it was available at Pyramid air and I couldn’t find it. You da man!
its a snowpeak m60 and its too heavy the snowpeak with the bottle gets 60 shots or more they are excellent guns but for the money you cant beat the snowpeak p35 or stoeger bull shark
I got a bullshark, review coming soon.
@@AirgunChannel i cant say anything about then25cal mines a 22 all i did was polish the barrel and she is my go to critter getter light agile compact its perfect
the only thing i hate about the bullshark is the stock is weird as crat the p35 stock is perfect
Made in Germany?
Germany China
@@AirgunChannel It says "Made in Germany China" on the air gun? What? WTH?
@@grabir01 It's not something we talk about.
@@AirgunChannel Not asking to talk about it. Simply asking where it is made.
I don't get the comparison to the m4. I have shot many air rifles and have own a colt 6920 m4 carbine for 15 years. This looks nothing like an m4 which shoots a 77 gr. bthp at almost 3000 ft per sec. Your shooting pellets of 18-25 gr. at 900fr per sec. The only thing I see which could be called "similar" is that both rifles have a Pic rail. I've been noticing alot of creators using click bait in their desperation to achieve viral effects. I enjoy your channel which why I'm even writing this comment.
I get it. You are comparing this to the fx m4. maybe I should be commenting on fx's channel as well
The FX M4 is the most accurate air rifle in the world. It just came out. M3 held the title before that. th-cam.com/video/gHmffA33m9o/w-d-xo.html
OsM 😘💕👍👍
Yeah, Zelos is a winner!
Paul's urban hunter. has a ton of videos on the snowpeak m60b
Gotta get that bottle conversion!
Great video !!!! I am so glad another reviewer got the same results as me. The Zelos shoots like a laser !
Oh yeah. The ZELOS is a winner!
@@AirgunChannel Just reviewed the .25 yesterday same results as the .22 ….even took it to 200 yds 😉
Will you be tuning for 18s also?
In real life, yeah. I don't know if I will make a video on it. Here is a comment that may help you: I tuned mine down to 1800 PSI on the reg, dialed the hammer spring, and it shoots 18.13 JSBs like a laser. Plus, I'm getting two full mags with 300-ish PSI left in the tank. It's sending those 18g JSBs at 940 fps with amazing consistency. I love this gun. It shoots just as good as my Throne Gen 2 after I got it dialed in for 940 FPS with the same pellet. Same hole and puppy toes all day. Killa!
