@AAROnair not at all. I think I posted it on an agt vixen forum on Facebook. I really appreciate the time you took with my sons and I. I'm always happy to give positive feedback when it's due. Even though the vector guys were mega busy they took the time with me and I ended up buying a .22 vixen short, scope, extra mags, uragan shroud, bipod and loads of other bits from vector. There were plenty of other great retailers there but you guys stood out with your kind and friendly approach. And the after sales service was fantastic. Don't think I'll shop anywhere else. Your videos reignited my passion for shooting so I can't thank you enough. Kind regards, Stephen.

Mr Bagshaw, you do not have to agree with another person, but you do have to be civil. It is as simple as that.

you always get that one particular individual, that think themselves better than another and who find pleasure in bringing other people down to cover up their own shortcomings, in his case a lack of manners

Hi Andy, (you probably won't have time to read this) I discovered your show during lockdown when I purchased my first (rubbish cheap springer) and wanted to know more. I've always found the show accessible and was able to pick up the basics the further I went along. I've found there are primarily really good people in the sport especially at my club who are always happy to give advice which is what you're doing. There are the few snobs that feel they're the knowledge of all things and try to belittle and bully people more so online. Not realising or caring of course that the sport REALLY needs good accessibility and exposure to get young people involved and keep it going for all of us. The club's won't be there without new members and the guns won't be there without the sales. Don't know what the guys problem is but you'll always find a few dull tools at the bottom of the box 😊

I joined the other club that day based on the reception I got and over the course of a couple of years I've come to find pretty much 99% of them are really welcoming, friendly and helpful - even the higher end shooters have given me advice and always happy to show some kit or as I've found on many occasions let me have a quick go. It seems people just get online to annoy others. I might not agree with some of what Andy says but I'm still appreciative and grateful he's putting out content in a way everyone can get to grips with it. We don't all have a degree in ballistic coefficients, there's other places to go for the ducks bum fountain of knowledge.

Precisely my observation too. One specific member whom I got into a bit of an exchange with, was fortunate enough to have accumulated a very nice collection of very high end airguns. But every time a beginner would ask what airgun to start with that wouldn't break the bank, this twat would recommend Theobans or similar brands saying everything else was rubbish and then would proceed to show photos of his collection to win looks of admiration and awe. He wasn't helping the newcomers in any shape other than getting off on the idea of making people think they can't get into the sport unless they spend a couple of Gs. I suspected he was compensating for certain "shortcomings" in other areas but hey, I will live quite happy not knowing the definitive answer to that. 😂

I'm not attracted to American-style prepping, but I can see two big advantages to this straight away: 1. My English cottage has plenty of floor space, but almost nowhere on the walls to fit a traditional gun cabinet aesthetically. This rifle would fit into a large key or medicine cabinet, or a fitted cabinet under the sloping ceilings of my upstairs rooms. 2. It'll fit in a backpack too, which is great, because my shooting ground has to be accessed through a very public area. I'd be tempted to fit a red dot or even prism sight. An obvious improvement would be building Crosman's MAG-fire system or similar into a future design... to reduce the faff of fumbling with pellets. Very interesting review. Thank you.

yes i could see it being a good backpack rifle for if youre going to be camping/hunting in the UK. for transportations sake or even just having it as an emergency type thing. but with our laws on carrying air weapons, having something "just in case" like that would probably not be seen as enough of a good reason to carry one. i think it would be better in other countries where youre allowed to carry them more freely

Thanks Andy for showing this. It’s a Fun item for sure, but I just don’t see why a folding gun in a triangle is desirable. Not a lot of money though. Each to their own

I saw this on American YT channel recently with high power one. Very nice looking gun. Andy always comes with very nice and informative reviews and in my opinion he is one of the nicest guys to hear. Now Andy has commented on someone which is very unusual for him but I don’t know what is the matter. Surely some one may have very high self opinion. For me Andy is the best and always gives very balanced and fair reviews which under any circumstances should not offend any body.

Great content and presentations as always, the polite put down at the end made me chuckle. thanks to all at AAR.

Morning Andy, love the review. Not something I'd necessarily buy but as always love the content and the review. What a very reasonable and intelligent way to deal with a troll , you are a true gentleman.

That's the only folding rifle I've seen that's bigger when folded than when it's unfolded! One is black and tan and the other is tan and black. Are you sure you didn't just get the centre boxes accidently swapped?

'The Day Of The Jackel' is one of my favorite movies and I could easily put in a list of the top 100 movies of all time and I highly recommend it. I believe a relative of Edward Fox was in a series that aired on PBS here in America called 'Lewis'.

Hi Andy, Thank you for another great review. I met you for the second time at this years Shooting Show. It was great to speak to you when it was eventually my turn! I'm grateful for all the reviews you do and the energy you and Mrs AAR put in to what you do. I could sense at the Shooting Show that there was an atmosphere and unrest where, by people were annoyed because they thought nothing new or different was there. There seemed to be a lot of limited edition stuff. Nothing new, though, with a hefty price tag. Since watching your review and listening to your opinion, my opinion changed on this air rifle from first seeing it. Personally, I like traditional air rifles, Walnut stock, and not keen on the tactical look. However, I think this is a great design and would appeal to someone who didn't want an obvious looking gun under his arm. Most of us put our air rifles in our cars. What if we had to use the bus, or train or walk through a busy precinct? I think it would appeal to someone who needed to do pest control and not, with great respect, a big interest in air rifles, and not their hobby. At forty metres and being a spring air rifle, I thought the accuracy/grouping was fantastic, especially as it was your first time shooting it. After watching your review, I think it's great, with a price which is non arguable. I don't think there's an argument to be had here. This is not the run of the mill. It's new with a lot of thought gone into it. Thank you.

Thanks for the review Andy, as result I visited the Vector shop yesterday and purchased a .177 in black. First time at the premises and had a really great experience. I'm genuinely surprised at the amount of quality metal and the finish on this and the polymer pieces. Once assembled it's so sturdy if you handed it to someone they'd have no clue it's foldable. I appreciate some of the suspicion about Chinese made products is entirely valid but this rifle has far exceeded my expectations regarding fit and finish. Your disclaimer at the start of the vid was correct, I've now decided I also 'need' the . 22 in tan :) so stock levels permitting I'll be back at the shop next month. Kind regards and thanks again for the time and effort you put into these reviews.

Good Morning from Dublin. A bit overcast, but I'll be over in Glasgow this weekend...so, the Dublin weather is not a problem. A 'transformer' rifle. Interesting.

Off to order one today be handy as farm pest basher. Also sure im read some were it comes with a optional baynet Great video keep it up all at at aar also the most polite response to a unnecessarily needed comment

I have the tan version in .22 cal as well. I have done several videos on this air rifle shooting it un scoped and it is very accurate out to 30yrds. the one things that has happened since I have had it and been shooting it for a few months now is that the rear site has started to drift after about 12 to 14 shots. Not sure how to fix the issue due to the design of the rear site. But I will be putting a scope on it soon and make a video shooting it scoped as well. glad to see you demo these as well, Cheers from the U.S.A.

I saw this rifle awhile ago and was just waiting for one of your reviews as I know it is trustworthy and honest yet again another great video with brilliant information . Thanks

Morning all! Lovely weather for some shooting today. Enjoy!

Great review, I have been looking at those, they certainly are different 👍

I saw one of these come in my local store when I was in. Very interesting I’d like to give it a try I think

I appreciate the somewhat clever ingenuity, and I think the concept of "play as if your a USA tacticool prepper" is cute. It would be fun to own as a youngster or teen. 11+ Ft pounds and fairly accurate too. But an even more practical, robust, cheaper and simple survival air rifle is certainly a good idea. Think along the lines of the Chiappa little badger .22LR. And why not have more budget field/farm use break barrels and C02's/PCP's with wire and synthetic folding, swinging, telescopic stocks?. Something a farm hand can carry on his quad without much worry about damage or much space needed. Ofcourse legal overall length, folded and unfolded, considerations would have to be factored in to allow for the full 12ft pound limit in either configuration. Its always nice to see new innovations, especially in the budget sector. Theres alot of guns that are very similar in every way, so the market needs a shake up with new ideas.

Another bucket list item!!!

Looks great!

Hi Andy, it looks a lot better with a scope on it now someone just needs to make a 3D cover that protects the scope and blends in when folded.

Nice review! First time viewer. Great ethics! Thanks.

Such amazing innovation …….. what will the big boys do to keep up with such cleverness. Fantastic

Fantastic review and a awesome different Air Rifle, you could put it in a carrier bag 😊

Had mine for about 6 weeks , nice to handel and very capable , think the company is part ot Tippmann

Great review nice to see what technology can bring to the table .this one sure is different and no doubt will improve with time .great gun by the way cheers swino Grimsby

PSA: Three quid for a tin of spam at our local highstreet. Bacon Grill can often be picked up for half the price and is top nosh on toast with a tin of chopped tomatoes and a dairy lee slice.

That looks very funky. What is it with something that folds, snaps together, love it. Like cp2 converts from pistol to carbine. Very cool

Hi Andy, Many thanks for your awesome video reviews. Because of this review I have just placed an order from Vector Air 😁. Will I need to clean out the barrel before I fire this please? And would I get good FPS ft/lbs with 14.66g h&n pellets? Also is the thread male 1/2" 20 UNF as I'm having a moderator made for it. Thanks

Great boy toy, really cool, not sure I really need one though, I've got quite a few impulse buys that are still sat in the box. Lol

Hi Andy ,I always enjoy your reviews, Your enthusiasm and love for everything airgun related is always portrayed .Having had the pleasure of meeting you in person at the BSS in 2023 Mr Bagshaw quite frankly has the ability to talk through his ar*e .

An AGT VIXEN style magazine holder might look quite cool on that 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's pretty cool...what's the fps for the break barrel rifle..and how much is it..

Hey, great review thanks. Can you tell me exactly which Veyron scope you were using?

I do like this rifle I will probably pick up a black one, I would like know how well it will keep zero as it appears the rail is attached to the frame and not the barrel and from taking the scope off I wouldn't want to break it down and stick it in my bag with a scope on.

Well I would rather shake your hand Sir than that of Mr. Bagshaw. Keep up the good work.

Saw that gun a while back on another channel. Interesting idea but if I wanted a "prepper" sub-12 airgun I'd get a synthetic stock HW97 and live with the weight and length.

Love it 👍

I got mine yesterday, I was surprised as to how heavy it is.

I hope you used a watermelon to zero it in! 😂 As far as trolls like Mr Bagshaw go - well, every village has to have one doesn't it.

Hi Andy, great video as always. Any chance you could add the chronograph readings for the 22 in the comments for comparison with the 177? Many thanks

I remember the film and Bruce Willis also did a version of it as well

Nice! Would have been perfect if they'd have thought to include a bespoke carry case for it.

Wow, I like that.👍

I like it. I like it alot

By removing the scope and refitting it for the video change the point of impact ? .

Have you fitted this into a bag? Just wondering what sort of size rucksack would be needed?

I bought one in tan very soon after a quiet word with Andy at the NEC Gun Show. Budget price but not budget quality or plastic. In all, it makes you smile. It's fun but not going to help you survive WW3! For a trekker, it may be too heavy to carry for an occasional pot shot. There is even an optional bayonet, which is going to get the boys in blue worried. I think it probably makes more sense in countries without power limitations.

Hi Andy, thank you so much for another great review. You are a nice bloke and much appreciated by the people in the airgun community. As for you know who, he's just a school bully that has never grown up. He probably still has stabilisers on his bike 😅 Ignore the haters, Andy, they are not worth your time.

Cool concept, for sure. I wonder how this works with UK laws regarding needing sleeves for your plinker when youre out and about. Otherwise and again, nice idea.

Hi Andy, I am having real trouble trying to find a deep enough slip to carry my BSA R10 pepper laminate with a PARD NV008 mounted up top, any recommendations? Or perhaps a more compact mount for the PARD may be the answer?? I grudge spending the money on an Eagle mount to find out it still won't fit in a run of the mill rifle slip?

Don't worry about the cabbage Andy,brilliant videos covering a wide range. Don't mind me asking would this gun be illegal, if you can fold the stock , it's like a long barreled pistol shooting over the limit ? Top man with a heart, maybe like a cabbage, lol.

Hello my British airgun friend.

I think they have limited themselves a bit. If they offered the box in black, tan or olive green and you could choose for yourselves which one, it would be better. Also, I think marketing a black & tan air rifle could be problematic in some parts of the country.

Quite cool of a gimmick imo. At least you do not absolutely *need* to remove any added sights off of it - even though I think it might be preferrable, if you care about your added optic sight. Will be interesting to hear of how the hinges last over time in use. The box seems okay. Would most probably just put the pellets (and the optic, if using one) in the case.. Dunno if it is just me.. or does this one seem as an old thing to someone else too? Seen this one in american videos a while back also - and already then it seemed old. This rifle been showed off in some american Shot Show already a couple of years back or something? This Black Bunker rifle surely did not seem as a new thing to me anymore... Just been finding it odd and pondering about it.. Surely a cool looking rifle in my eyes, though probably not getting on my wants list..

1322 want's to have a word about the size factor. And for the life of me cannot remember the name of the baikal pistol with attachable barrel and butt-stock. Am i the only one seeing the triangular fold as a bit cumbersome?

It's an interesting rifle, neat concept. A compact scope would be better as you could get it into the centre case quite easily. I'm hoping the gen II will have a pic rail to 6 o'clock for a Harris bipod as the side bipod idea would add extra bulk to it folded, and, you can't keep it in the centre box. I'm not sure Mr Plod would be too impressed with you open carrying it though? It could have done with a neat triangle camo/tan/black bag for it to slide into with rucksack straps or a molle system for attaching to your backpack.? Shots fired Mr Bagball..? Not a good idea, let's hope you don't pop your nose up above the rock you live under. There are too many sharpshooters here for you to keep it attached to your face for very long.

The box is for a bayonette, that's how it's sold in the US.

Every village has a Bagshaw in it's midst. Keyboard critics are sadly widespread nowadays, oxygen thieves the lot of 'em.
