Had a man-shop morning with my son on Saturday... he bought a Triumph Street Triple, I bought a .177 Stoeger XM1, so we spent the rest of the weekend explaining the virtues of our purchases to our other halves 😆. It turns out that I have to build a summer-house in my garden, and he has to decorate three rooms in his house and insulate their loft... or we are dead😉.
I am really impressed with this rifle's build and comfort.
Come on Andy for £250 all in and only a 3-9x scope at 40 metres a hole the size of the tip of your little finger, and that’s before you’ve run in the barrel and found the actual pellet it prefers. I’m beginning to wonder why I have spent thousands, yes the magazines and cylinder are a bit smaller than average, but the magazines are cheap and just think how quickly you could fill it with a hand pump.
Then there’s the look of the rifle what a stunner she is especially if you discard the front rails. It makes you wonder if it was made by BSA would it sell like hot cakes !
This was the first proper air rifle my dad and I owned. I remember my dad being able to shoot stems and twigs at the bottom of the garden fairly consistently. This video reminded me that it's about time I dig it out and give it a little TLC as it hasn't been used much since he passed.
Thank you Andy!
Andy, the silencer is removable , it is held in place by a little hex grub screw. I know this because I own one,
Great gun. Keep up the good work.👍
When you remove the moderator is there a half inch unf underneath mate.??
Yes, there is a thread, but not sure if it is unf. I've not tried another silencer.
@@Neilbootsmt10 Cheers mate will check it out at the local RFD when i go next. Just thinking it would make a good cheaper pest rifle than my Air Arms.
@@peterhennessy9899 great wee rifle for pest control and yes the thread is unf and fits most screw on mods.
Good cold morning all from Belgium!
Hello from England
@@simonnoble7589 morning Simon!
Good (cold) Morning from Ireland
@@TheRealKaner Morning John!
good afternoon @@TheRealKaner
Good morning everybody and our Host Andy , have a fantastic day 😃
Been using this for a while now in 177 got it second hand as a punt buy, never let me down 12 months in no issues, accurate my lad at 10 loves it easy to shoot, great gun for a starter or chiid
Great review Andy. Loved the fact that you kept the supplied scope for the test. Much more realistic for a fairly " budget " gun. A newcomer isn't likely to want to spend extra for superior glass ware. Fine results from a .22. Ace shooting, and a cracking watch. Cheers.
Available here in the USA for $230 ( 180 pds sterling). Nice looking piece, shoots well and considering what you get with it that's quite a bargain. Claims of 1,000 fps with alloy pellet probably closer to 900 fps with lead, giving about about 15 ft lbs with an 8 gr pellet. Great beginners PCP and hand pump friendly. Nice review as always Andy, always give you a look in, as it's nice to know what's happening and current back home on the air gun scene. 👍😁
@@cedhome7945 Possibly because there's a larger consumer base over here which allows lower prices due to sales volume ? Consumer base over here is about 6.5 times larger than the UK. Sell more stuff, the cheaper prices get.
HI Andy I always look forward to Friday to see what good HONEST REVIEW your going to be bringing us. Thanks SIR 🇬🇧👍🏼
Mine is due to arrive December 27th. Can't wait to try it out. I enjoyed your video. Thanks for the honest review.
Looks nice too. Just bought a Sig MCX and I'm LOVING IT. Plinking plastic soldiers like I used to do as a kid. I had myself crying with laughter watching them fly off into the distance. Thankfully, my neighbour doesn't mind collecting any that land in his garden and returning them for a free can of beer and a few goes on the MCX.
Always nice to hear someone liking their Sigs. I'm also a huge fan of them.
That grouping at 40mtrs from a budget rifle! Wow, and only £250 for all that kit, outstanding value, but, if someone wants a budget pcp then it’s going to be obvious they will want a budget form of filling it with air, and not something that will cost the same as the gun or more!
Time to revue cheap forms of charging them with air !🤔🙂
Stoeger are a fantastic fun budget rifle. I own the rx20. 22/177. The sights can be replaced for more upmarket ones. All in all well worth the money 😊
Good Morning...brrrr -4C in Dublin this morning.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Interesting (budget) rifle this morning.
My son and I bought one each (.177), excellent light weight, accurate budget rifle. Mine sadly, was constantly jamming and the gun shop was no help at all, gave up after the 4th rebuild and bought a Reximex Accura. My son's continues to be a sweet little rifle and sometimes I wish I'd just bought another one. Great review.
Hi, how is it going with the Accura?
Its an easy fix
The silencer does come off it's held on with a grub screw remove it and the silencer comes off by unscrewing counter clockwise.
Another thing he missed was the adjustable trigger
Hi Andy I've been looking forward to this review. I've had this rifle for about 3 years now and have no issues with it at all. I use it for a bit of back garden pest control at around 40ft ( which I know isn't a far distance) & I find it more than capable. Thanks for a great review & keep up the good fight.
Watch your reviews all the time, and watched this review recently, as was thinking of dipping my toes into the PCP world (always been a springer guy since I was 10 years old!) ...... and after watching your review I have now purchased this in 177 this week..... Put my first two mags through it and after 4 shots to zero it, the other shots were all in the same hole the size of a 5 pence piece, safe to say I'm impressed.... Thanks for your reviews and keep up the fantastic work 🙂
Beware the sticking bolt,we have 3 of these excellent guns at our club ( Whittlesey Target Club) but we have had issues with the probe guide bolt unscrewing and jamming the bolt. An easy enough fix but annoying nonetheless. I put up a respectable 97 with one of these on a standard C.T.S.A ompetition card at 25 yards. Good value for money.
YES .... THANK YOU, about time someone gave this gun good review !!
Interesting, I owned an x20 and I couldn't get it to hit a barn door! So when i was looking at something else I went for the gamo arrow (which I love) instead of the Stoeger. now seeing this review I may change my mind and get one...
The side rails on mine snapped after 2 days and the moderator was clipping. Returned.
Hi, the silencer unscrews from the adapter on the .177 👍
My lad has one and we love it, at 30 yards is dead on
Great video mate 👍
Excellent little guns,have the bullpup version aswell, highly recommended.
Hi ANdy. I have one since 2012 and very pleased with it. Precise and silent. You did not mention the two picatiny rails at the front are made to two-leg bipod. I agree the reservoir could be bigger.
Nice review Andy. I've got the XM1 bullpup in .22 apart from being slightly low power wise me and my son think its great.
I got a Stoeger A30 495 FPS break barrel (canada) and I enjoy it very much.
Nice! Looks like it has a front sling stud to use a Harris style bipod so you don't have to worry about side mounting legs.
Nice review! My first pcp rifle in .22 at 22 joules.
Bad things: bolt very brittle, it will get loose 100% and if you don't take care of it it will get stuck and broken. Its an easy fix. By cocking the gun in one move you "eat" the metal edges around the bold handle. After some time the bolt will open by itself, still didn't fix that problem.
Now the good side: my can send pellet in pellet at 40 metter, it likes round or domed pellets for the magazine. The rail for holding magazines is a NO NO, lost the single tray like that. .22 caliber you get 35 regulated shots and in .177 around 50. There are new versions of xm1 now, sport and scout that have the bolt mechanism from xm1 bullpup. Bullpup is a better gun, better barrel better mechanism and a 225c cylinder. The xm1 is very good for walk n stalk since its 2.5kg without scope, pigeons rats rabbits coyotes don't stand a chance.
Update: dismantled the gun cleaned all parts and used silicone oil on o rings ... Now it has 25 joules, measurements taken with chronograph and 4 different pellets
That a cracking package for the price, for a keen beginner that spot on 👍
That price is amazing for the package and performance !
Was it just my pc or is the energy data banner missing from the video @ 7:35 ?
Still loving my Friday morning AAR fix. Thanks Andy
A good review as usual. Could we have a review of the various scopes as there's so many on the market now. . .some value for money, others not.
got the bullpup version in .22, just a P35 in a different frock with some extras thrown in. Great little gun
Great review Andy and WOW! At that price, brilliant! Of course the pellet on pellet is also down to the quality of the shooter. Fab all round.
I have a stoegar in .177 and it’s a tack driver. 980 fps and half inch groups at 40 m. It’s deadly accurate at 60 m., and will go through three quarter plywood,no problem. Shoots alloy pellets 1200 all day. Has a decent trigger and oh ya, it’s a springer.
Good morning all, Andy thanks for another great video. I hope you and Mrs AAR are staying warm, hope to see you at the Great British Shooting Show next month.
Morning all hope you well and staying warm 🇬🇧 and safe shooting.
A little information for those interested..... You can get six mags(54 shots) in .177 from a full 200 bar fill, with the last shot settling the gauge just in the green area and on the .177 the moderator is removable, loosen the grub screw and then unscrew the moderator, and this is a brilliant budget PCP rifle 🙂
Morning, Andy, great review as always. I have the Stoeger Bullshark in .22, and absolutely love it ! Great accuracy and consistency, with 30 fpe of power. Looking forward to your take on it.
bought one today Andy, thought i might have seen you at vector air. sadly you was at the gun show . se you next time
The only down side i have found is the cocking handle, they tend to snap but a decent aftermarket one is available. the shot count is ok for the size of cylinder especialy if you are just pottering around the farm. the silencer is removeable and is on a 1/2" unf threaded adapter which is fixed to the barell end with a grub screw.
Hi Andy You didn't mention once how much it resembles the pr900 ?
Hi Andy. Seen a Stoeger in my local shop online for £200 full kit. Probably used not sure. Brilliant review and shoot as usual and might get me back into the sport. I'd obviously prefer a BSA CLX Ultra but that's potentially going to cost me another four to six hundred quid on the initial outlay of a kit similar to the XM1. Not sure. Thanks anyway
Morning Andy , almost choked on my bacon sandwich at the price , honestly expecting a hundred quid more at least . Great review, honest as ever , accuracy is amazing shame about the fill count but you can't have it all for 250 quid.
Look forward to the bullpup.
Dave
Nice vid and very informative, looks a good starter, been using a breach since the 70's so showing my age. New spring and seals it has punching power for it's age, BSA.
A correction for the suppressor, it is in fact removable it's held in with a screw I've recently bought one and discovered this fact, keep up the good work bud love your videos 🙏👍
Very acceptable results from a 22 budget rifle, great pest control gun. Stoeger have definitely come on since their earlier springers as to be totally honest they were terrible but this looks pretty good and more importantly performs pretty well.
I got pretty surprised reading this comment.
Not much into Stoegers myself, but I do own one Stoeger X5 break barrel in .177. Got it for free actually. Not high on fps (about 550fos I believe) , but it was accurate both with ipen sights and the og cheap scope that came along with it.
Have this rifle myself ,first pcp i have owned and used and totally agree with your comments on the video ,,excellent review 16:19
Morning all. Fantastic value for an accurate gun! Not sure I like the idea of a bonded on moderator??
Was it just me or did the the FPS data not appear on the screen.
Yes i was wondering about that.
The silencer comes off
According to Andy in the review it doesn't. So i am now rather confused. LOL 😂
@@peterhennessy9899 I own one I've removed mine to clean the barrel if you watch the video you can see the grub screw Andy must of missed it....
Interested to see what you think of the Two behind you. Can't wait for that review
I like the look of the stoeger bullpup
Nice review Andy. I agree gun would be better with a central rail bracket for bipod. One big negative is, why oh why do some manufacturers feel the need to fully bond the moderators to the barrel ? Please stop it !! Apart from this and the horrible blue coloured grip and butt pad spacer extras ( make em black please) yes , i like the look of this pcp alot ! Plus at an excellent price too.. do stoeger do a pump do you know ?
Hi Andy, I saw the Stoeger came in both a rifle and bullpup, from what I understand, the overall quality for both is very good, though both have their advantages and disadvantages.
I like both and would have one of each if I could, but if I had to choose one over the other, I would personally choose the .22 bullpup over the rifle since I already own three air rifles and would like something a little different for number four.
I like the styling 😍
Great review and nice looking gun, what heated body warmer are you using and is it any good?
it is the same rifle as the artemis pr900 and diana stormrider... i think they do their own qc tho, at least for the p35/xm1 bullpup
It actually has a regulator and slightly longer barrel at least for the european mainland version ;)
Pr900w Artamis is a Stormrider allegedly 🤔🤔
Nice little starter good price like not sure about the magazine holder.
Great review as always andy, and at that price it's not gonna break the bank as a starter rifle, it's accurate as well, i got the same type of halfway decent scope from Gamo when i bought my package deal coyote 3-9x40 with AO, it's got me on target but am looking for an upgrade
The silencer is detachable,the trigger is adjustable.
Andy, great video as always. Pretty amazing value really, I was geussing £400!
Morning all, cold one here too🥶
I purchased one of these about 5 weeks ago. Kept next to all my other rifles and this one has rusted a lot! Including the co2 canister.
It’s currently with my RFD and I hope anything will be covered under warranty.
I appreciate it’s a budget rifle, but it appears to be falling apart already!
I’m a little confused by your comment about rust around the co2 canister? this is a PCP and doesn’t have a co2 canister?
@@AAROnair sorry not co2, around the air canister
Its a nice gun for the price good target work
👍👍👍🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
'OW MUCH! That's Yorksher for "What good value!". Yes it's a Snowpeak action but how accurate it is and ergonomic too. Featherweight for carrying around the farm and accurate enough for pigeons and jackdaws to be shot humanely at 25 to 35 yards. What's not to like apart from its country of manufacture?
A very informative review thanks Andy one for my collection me thinks 😂😂
And a good cold morning from fuller leisure gunthorpe notts
There is so much to choose from in this price bracket and they all seem to perform better than the price would suggest. Im wondering if it's worth spending an extra £400 on the gun ive shortlisted. Thanks for the great review and THANKS for giving me second thoughts 😂😂😂
Thank you for this very good review. You have convinced. Scott from the colonies.😊
Is the near side pic mount/mag holder on the wrong way? Looks as though it should be mag holder part rearward, then a bit more solid looking too….
Andy I have decided to join the pcp community thanks to you 👍 I’m getting a Walther rm8 can you recommend a pump and compressor to get ( I’m trying to stay in the budget range) I’m a newbie remember so I don’t know most of the jargon. Thanks
you are either going to want a pump OR a compressor, Hills are the best, but you could always go for a tank, which is priced between the two.
I was undecided between the Snowpeak M25 and the Stoeger X1.
Bought the M25 now 3 days ago. Hope I made the right decision
How would this compare to a Gamo 250 in line with your christmas video Andrew ?
-5 degrees here in Wales!
Any particular pellet recommendation please ??
Nice review
Eyup Andrew ive found some budget guns i love .i have high end air arms f.a.c ad weihrach too .my go to pest control gun is the rainson edge x in .22 shot count 144 per fill .have u done a review on it ? Top show by the way
Looking forward to seeing bullpup.
Wow that is good value. Great review as usual
Very nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Hello, first of all I want to tell you that I love watching your videos, just one question, why don't you do the analysis of the Brocock Ghost PCP rifle? At the end of last year the record was broken with that rifle, could you do the review, greetings from Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico!!!
Same as diana stormrider and artemis/snowpeak pr900
There are different versions of this rifle. I may get the XM1 S4 Suppressor in the future. I want a cheap iron sights rifle and that model comes with a fiber optic front sight.
maybe I missed it but what pellets are you using. I recently bought a PDP rifle (my first) and some pellet "profiles" work LOTS better than others. I've got quite the selection now but it would be nice to get your accuracy from the get go.
Hello. How many bars is the factory regulator set to?
Can u add a sling????
How do they compare to the Gamo GX 40 ?
Is this rifle combo supposed to come with allen keys ,(mine has none )not having them renders the rifle basically useless.
any suggestions of a starter 22. and up guns air please and legal hand guns please uk
250 quid. unbelievable 👌👌
Waiting for the day you do a KRAL Jumbo Hi-Cap review!
Another Artemis/Snowpeak based rifle 👌
Hi Andy, can you tell me what an( A.O. )illuminated scope ? Thanks
I have to say, with the inherent accuracy of most of these "budget" pcps on the market nowadays, I can't see why most people would need to spend huge money on a gun. Sub £500 would get a perfectly workable gun for most tastes and uses (I mean, around £250 for this, with a suppressor and an AO 3x9? With that accuracy with that scope at that range? That's silly cheap). Ok, so brands like BSA and Weihrauch, etc. add a greater level of quality and materials, perhaps, but then you're still only around the £1k mark. For non FAC and non competition, I can't see why anyone would want, or need, to spend more.
I suppose you have in part answered your own question. it’s the same principle as why would anyone buy a new Porsche when a 10 year Old Ford fiesta will do the same 60 mph? stay safe Andy
Yeah, my comments were more a nod of appreciation at the manufacturers. "Entry level" products which actually perform adequately is not always the norm, and, in some hobbies, items sold as "entry level" can be so bad that they actually put people off altogether. It's just nice to know that, when you fork out your £250 or so, you won't find yourself thinking you would have had more satisfaction if you had simply used all your hard earned £20 notes as loo roll 🤣
What about the epic airgun behind you waiting on that review 😊
You can't really argue with that for the price, very impressive. Cheers Andy. ATB MMMD
"Information"....😂
Gonna get one of these be a decent ratting rifle
Hi Andy, have you seen the new Epic airguns from Czech ?
Will you be testing any?
I wouldn’t swear to it, but that could be the “Epic Two” in the background 😉. And the full review may be out in the next couple of weeks……Stay safe.
Brilliant ! I know vector air have some. Thanks for all the air content 👍🏻
💡 would be good to compare the epic to other high end models such as the panthera as they’re priced and perform very similar in FAC models.
Thanks.
