I'm 56 and have been shooting for about 50 years now. I still enjoy plinking and target shooting. This is the perfect backyard rifle to me. Added a CVLIFE 3-9x40 Optics R4 Reticle Crosshair Scope for $33 and this rifle gets the most use, along with my Sig Sauer P226.
I bought that same airgun for my son and I actually shoot it more than most of my other airguns. I love the thing. I have a little pellet catcher in my house and me and him shoot that gun indoors almost everyday. I would recommend it to anybody with a 7 to 10 year old that they want to introduce to any kind of gun or someone that just wants to plink around with something that won't penetrate through much. Glad to see u back Charles. Been missing ur videos.
this is the problem with the American air gun market, in a break barrel you either get 1100+ fps or 495 fps, nothing in between. Offer us an adult size 800 fps 12 foot pound rifle and watch them fly off the shelf. And I am not asking anyone to re-invent the wheel, 12-foot pound gun is the industry standard in Great Britain
Glad you're back! Hope things are looking up for you. So the wasp thing reminded me of years ago when my girls wanted to play on the playset in the back yard, but there must have been a wasp nest in it somewhere because the wasps were buzzing us like crazy. Then I had a brilliant idea - use my Crosman 1100 CO2 shotgun to blow them out of the sky. I went inside and couldn't find any CO2 so I made a quick trip to my local Walmart. Went to the backyard and began blowing them out of the sky. After 6 or 7 they were all gone and my girls got to use the play set. Man that was fun! And I now have a Gamo Viper Express that would probably do the job too, although with less authority than the mighty 1100. Anyway, keep the great videos coming I'm glad you're back at it. :)
Very glad to have you back my friend! Take care of those knees dude, don't end up like me lol... I just a month ago, had my 3rd shoulder replacement. Wasn't doing what I was told, and now I'm running out of options lol....gonna go with a hydraulic piston setup next I think hahaha. Take care bud, again, glad you're back on track!
Not too many people have 3 arms. I cracked shoulder bone cast fishing off bank. On same shoulder of joint replacement. Now back to sling for 6 weeks I'm a72 yrs. I fish when I eating or sleeping , and in between. Learning to cast with the other arm.
You got them red wawsts all riled up ! Looked like them big ole grand daddy wawsts, they’ll sting ye good! That’s what my grand dad from Arkansas would say! Lol fun to watch and glad you’re back!
Great vid, nice short and perfectly informative review. My sons 8, almost 9 and like his dad a little guy. Currently shooting a Daisy BB gun old style lever cocking action, about 270-300 FPS. But always looking to step up a bit and definitely moving to pellets for us both. I’ll have a good gun capable of enough foot pounds to kill small game and the rats and rabbits that are waging war on my yard. Then something with more power for him. Thanks again for another great vid. Your style is a welcome and refreshing change from the other reviewers. God bless! Welcome back!!!
Yes!!!!! That’s awesome! Can’t wait for the video! Friend of mine has one, I have not made the “big step” to buy one. Open sights, still shoots like a laser.
Hey sir , I have the same version in UMAREX EMBARK that is green and it is a pretty accurate fun shooting PR , keep the great vids coming and good luck with career change.
That thing is powerful for 500 FPS. I just got one for my boys this week and haven’t been able to shoot it yet due to the weather. Looks like I picked a winner though.
great video man this might be my next plinker later this week im gonna be in a city where i can fine me a umarex nxg multi pump i might have to get me one of these too hey just a video request id like to see a line up of your youth guns i think thated be cool anyway cheers from new zealand bro
You seem like a guy who is tired of stress but also likes to take care of the ears. I spent all day plinking yestarday with my daughter. Had her using the umarex buck mark. It pinched her after i told her how to not get pinched 🤔 looking at other spring options. This may be it
My sister sent me a Slavia 618 break barrel rifle which was about 50 - 60 years old. Needed a new piston seal cup which I made out of a piece of leather. I drilled a hole just slightly larger than the inside of the piston tube and about 3/8” deep in a piece of wood. Soaked the leather for a day in water, then used a suitably sized socket and a C-Clamp to force the leather into the hole. While leather was drying I trimmed the leather flush with the top of the wood. Drilled a hole in the center of the cup to mount the cup, oiled the leather,and then inserted the pump into the pump tube. This little rifle is a sweet shooting gun. Very easy to cock, has nice sights and a good trigger. Has a rifled barrel to shoot .177 pellets.
I have a daisy 880 powerline air rifle. the trigger is so hard to pull. it causes me to miss my shot. do have any suggestions to eliminate this problem?
You have a viewer who expects me to say I killed an elephant with this rifle. But... I have to tell you... I have never tried one of these so I cannot tell you for sure if it will kill an elephant or not. Maybe you could do a video on that. 🤔🐘💨 🙉
I love the safety position on this. Way better than those side to side safeties you commonly see on airguns
Shoot on, I got stung yesterday getting a ladder out of the shed. Shoot on.
Okay, that was fun to watch! Glad you're getting back on track!

I’m 13 and currently use a crossman break barrel air gun for squirrel hunting and that beast is heavy and I mean it

Martin

Welcome back. I have one of these. I like the safety too. I shoot at cans on the backyard t-posts while cooking. It makes a very satisfying sound.
Good to see you back. Love the wasp hunting, I couldn't help but chuckle when those little... characters came out all pissed off.
Great to have a new video from your good self. Looking well.
Very glad to have you back my friend! Take care of those knees dude, don't end up like me lol... I just a month ago, had my 3rd shoulder replacement.

Good to see you back playing with your toys.
Glad your sorted Charles. Just love these low power light airguns.

You need some eley wasp pellets for them buzzers, but for bees you need a BBB !!!
Hey sir , I have the same version in UMAREX EMBARK that is green and it is a pretty accurate fun shooting PR , keep the great vids coming and good luck with career change.
Hope your leg Heals quickly Charles. Cheers 🙏
Glad you're on the mend Charles the wasp hunter!,
Good stuff. If we did that in our back yards in Australia we would have the TRG around.
Welcome back!!
That thing is powerful for 500 FPS. I just got one for my boys this week and haven’t been able to shoot it yet due to the weather. Looks like I picked a winner though.
If you like that little Ruger Explorer, you should try the Hatsan Alpha. Mine's had a "little work done" by my hand and it is incredibly accurate.
great video man this might be my next plinker later this week im gonna be in a city where i can fine me a umarex nxg multi pump i might have to get me one of these too hey just a video request id like to see a line up of your youth guns i think thated be cool anyway cheers from new zealand bro

Just ordered one love the video keep up the good work
i miss this guy. great airgun vids.
Great little gun.
Cool. Run them wasps out. Glad you're back.
missed you young man,hope your feeling better,hows the family in Arkansas?saw all the flooding around Russellville.
It kinda reminds me of the Stoeger X3 Tac. I wonder which of these 2 is more reliable.
Backpacker in disguise
I have this gun. How do you adjust the sight? There are 2 adjustment wheels. Which wheel does what? Thanks.

This little rifle is a sweet shooting gun. Very easy to cock, has nice sights and a good trigger. Has a rifled barrel to shoot .177 pellets.
May I ask does this have a metal rear sight or is it plastic?
Time to bring the Gamo Viper Express out. Go hunt some wasps.
Noe that's funny. I shot a black widow 🕷️ spider I my back yard with my pistol a few months ago... So, why not. 🕷️🔫
Hola saludos, que tal sigue funcionado esa arma, yo compre una y a los 100 disparos ya no atoraba para cargarla, y se empezó a disparar sola 😢😢😢
that thang is amazing
I just picked one up, nice video
Like my friend
Good to see another video Charles
What pellets are you shooting?
I have a daisy 880 powerline air rifle. the trigger is so hard to pull. it causes me to miss my shot. do have any suggestions to eliminate this problem?
Is the trigger plastic?
You have a viewer who expects me to say I killed an elephant with this rifle. But... I have to tell you... I have never tried one of these so I cannot tell you for sure if it will kill an elephant or not. Maybe you could do a video on that. 🤔🐘💨 🙉
Umarex EMBARK
Ruger EXPLORER
Xisico XS16
I think the embark and explorer may be the exact same gun with a difference in barrel length and type of sight.
