Looks just like a FX dreamtac. All these guns are starting to look the same now. Looking forward to the style of air rifles coming full circle and classic sporter style bolt action rifle's coming back into fashion.

@@peteralexbeni love my m30 and see the modern tactical style guns as a clinical like a tool to get the job done but easy to keep clean and hard to damage, still not my style, kinda reminds me of paint ball guns with the air tanks and i do think they look rather silly at a rifle range, kinda like picking up the kids from school in a full off road speck 4x4 with included winches and snorkel only to never see wet grass let alone a muddy track, of course its all just an opinion and we are all entitled to our own. great review and for what you get great price, just not for me personally. i can see this being a farmers tool or a pest control tool rather than a beauty bragger at the range

Thanks Andy, great start to the weekend as always.

I can see that FAC version winning a few air rifle long range competitions across the pond, very VERY easily!

I'm going to check those two out!! See you next Friday (23rd) at the shooting show.

A great review on an interesting rifle and oddly enough I have a space on my certificate for an FAC air rifle but neither of these guns makes the short list for me, particularly the FAC model. I’m a big fan of FAC air rifles and for decades I’ve have always had one in the gun cabinet but @ 50+” long and shooting 70ftlbs it doesn’t stand comparison with a regular .22rf. I’d much rather shoot a quality 30/40ftlb air rifle that fits the gap between a sub-12ftlb air rifle and a .22rf - and there are a lot of air rifles out there that fit the bill and are a lot more practical than something the size of a rowing oar. No criticism of Andy,l love and watch every episode but being primarily a hunter/pest controller I’m struggling to find something to get excited about when compared to the offerings of other big name manufacturers. Perhaps if lead is banned for the .22rf I’ll re-think things🤷‍♂️.

Thank you for your time and effort put into these presentations, I look forward to them and I'm going to get into the sport.

Excellent review.thank you

Good morning. Andy, another fabulously informative video. Have a great weekend.

Awesome review Andy fantastic keep up the amazing reviews

Morning Andy, Brilliant review

Great review, as always.

Dommage que le soleil soit si rare en Angleterre . Le gazon est superbe et la vidéo aussi . Très belle canne à pêche !! Toujours un plaisir de vous suivre !👏👏👏👍

Great review Andy. Very nice proper rifles mate! Thank you.😊

Got my ticket for Sunday. Can't wait😁Looking forward to seeing you and VA then

Morning from Manchester, UK!

What a great review see you next Friday 👍

Another excellent review!

Apparently the reason the cocking lever was stiff to operate on the FAC version was because the enameling on the breech bloke was to thick which meant the breach seal was not seating properly , This problem has now been fixed . How do I know this , because I just ordered one and the supplier told me that this was the problem . Great video mate .

Love it, great review 👍

Hey there Andy, after watching your vids for ages (BTW Top work ! )... I've always fancied one of the tripods you use but have never found one online. Only just noticed the links listed !!! Got my order in finally !!!!

a super pest control cannon and a super video as always

Those are great guns, especially the FAC I just need to get a licence!!

Interesting. I thought that price was low! That barrel length with the silencer was nearly at the target! Haha. Thanks as always.

Andy you said in your summing up that its a bullpup. Definitely isn't, certainly the 1.25m version is closer to a howitzer.

Accuracy of that 70 fpe cant really be bad when the muzzle is 2 feet away from the target lol

My old Logan S16 has a straight pull cocking lever

Going to try so of them at the BSS 👍 So enjoy the channel and I not an air rife shooter. Just find it very interesting

RTI had a straight pull bolt too

Looking fantastic andy 😮❤❤👍🇬🇧

Like it. Like the straight pull. We have seen a few lever action pcp rifles, nut has there been any pump action, and if not, why not?

Hi Andy Can you have a look at the Zbroia Hortitsia Black MK3 PCP Air Rifle I think you will like it. I like this review looks a nice gun keep up the good work

Is it possible to line the gauges up properly? They really annoy my OCD

I have the snowpeak m25 pcp 2.2 nice rifle also using gamo speedster 10x gen 2

Very nice indeed.

About time we had a FAC HFT, now that would be fun.

Next on my list

Hey Andy, another brilliant update. Do u sell them aswell ?

Zbroia did a straight pull bolt on a gun, good review though 👍

Thanks

wow looks the business Andy 👍. I've purchased from my local gun shop the Zbroia Hortitsia 300/ 200 177 calibre straight pull action its a fanatic air rife RACKNLOAD has review it. looking forward the the shooting show

Errrr back in 1986 I took my HW 80 to my local gun shop to have an ox mainspring fitted and according to them some polishing of the cylinder. Well after that it had the tendency to make that noise… yep I know it would have been dieseling and yes i know would have been slightly over powered. It’s funny that gun shop got its licence to sell FAC taken off them and now they only sell fishing and outdoor gear.

Andy looks more like Arni with FAC. Nice powerful gun I wonder if Andy can get Fx impact 3 review

Nice one Andy. ( need a bigger cabinet 😂).

I was going to say the kalibrgun capybara also has a straight pull back 😊

Surely some manufacturer will be able to come up a better looking arrangement to get rid of the bulbous bottle! Which really puts me off!

the priest/prophet had straight pull cocking. I have two Mk1 crickets and Kalibrgun id my favourite maker.

Logun S16 is a straight pull

Kalibr guns are very underrated. CZ barrels are far better than FX barrels. Czech and slovakia make the best airguns now

It looks a great gun I am add man myself but u would think that all these manufacturers could get all the clocks in same positions it can’t be had 👍

Like to see you concentrate on the FAC and show the accuracy with different pellets and slugs when the power is turned down to 900 approx.

Didnt the RTI Priest2 have a straight pull?

Morning all

Nice rifles. They look to be built like tanks.

Another great enthusiastic review. For me those dials look like a fault waiting to happen and they're positioned in a really odd way, cocking action looks a tad stiff, .22 fac I can't quite see the point of, just get a rimfire?

Andy can you do a review on the black opps sniper rifle please

That FAC on was about the power of a .22 Short or a .25/6.35mm automatic pistol and the supersonic crack was really evident if it was in .30 it should be subsonic but probably still supersonic in .25?

Zbroia Hortitsia Mk1 has a straight pull bolt.

The magazine seems to be in the way of the straight pull cocking lever🤔probably ok if you’ve got small/thin fingers🙂

EDgun might object to that claim of this Kalibrgun being the first air rifle to have a straight pull cocking action!

I believe FX Airguns made their first straight pull back in 2003 launching the Cutlas.

@7:10 So what about the Matador R5M and Lelya 2.0 then? :-) That quality and precision is what to expect from Kalibrgun but the price was a nice surprise! Not cheap but pretty good value for the money! Nice review as usual, big thumbs up!

Nice x2.

Zbroia Hortitsia was straight pull, can be prone to metal fatigue, these are better built no doubt thought, as have a Cricket 2 T

Morning Andy I can see you’re excited by these guns but for me I’m not a fan. I don’t like the styling personally, but that is a personal thing as you said. As for the FAC version, you could just use a .22 or .17 rim fire which would cost less and be considerably shorter.

@@uksnusreviews9455 yes but at 70ftlb you’d need to use slugs as pellets will go supersonic and lose accuracy. I can’t see the point of the FAC version of this rifle, if you want vermin control then a rim fire .22 would be much shorter and cheaper and you aren’t going to be burning through tons of ammo so the cost difference isn’t really an issue. For target shooting, why do you need the FAC version?

I think if you’ve got the cash it will be a fun gun to own,there’s just something special about big power air rifles even if they don’t do anything a 300£ Brno .22 can’t do 😊

Bench rest shooters using 22lr are happy to get sub 2moa at 100metres. That fac just put pellet on pellet at 70metres. I wonder if the fac version could shoot sub 2moa at 100metres possibly even 1moa

Andy, what barrel does the uk version use & would you buy one ?

As a few have commented edgun springs to mind regards the straight pull.... But kalibrgun reputation proceeds them as does most eastern European manufacturers now

Andy, do you think this rifle would be suitable for Uk HFT ? Maybe a Rowen single mag ?

Rti priest is also straightpull...and Im sure there ate others just can't remember which those are...

Just curiosity does the spare cartridge fit in the bottom of the pistol grip

As always another great review. Except if I was buying a mid range car I would at least expect the fuel gauge to be the right way up. Just saying lol.

I like the dovetail to picatinny bridge, been looking for something like that to customise a rifle for ages. The Webley Nemesis X PCP has one, does anyone know if these can be bought separately?

Just purchased some zan slugs Andy, do you know owt about them mate any feedback will be great

So what if I filled the tank with some type of flammable gas, trigger ignition? Maybe dangerous 😊

A lot of modern cars look the same because of shared platforms/parts etc. The same seems true of "tactical" rifles and that gives a lot of choice. It becomes even more important to try before you buy so the NEC gun show is the place to go!

How does this work with FAC air rifles, have you got this on your FAC or are you a RFD ?

Wow!

Awesome, the problem I had with a FAC air rifle and slugs close to the one you tested was the trajectory. Perfect bull group zeroed at 40m; Fired at 30m hitting low, fired at 60m hitting high, at 80m hitting higher, at 100m same as 80m but left. At 120m? I had no idea where the slugs had gone. So back to the accurized Ruger 10/22, banana magazines, Winchester subsonic (before they were awful) or CCI Stinger hypersonic (perfection). And why exactly are CCI Stingers £250 per 1000 now? 25 years ago they were £40-50 per 1000! Cheers Andy, keep up the fantastic work.

When you were cocking the .22, 70 FP it didn’t look very smooth, this might have been because your hands were cold but it did seem to take some effort 🤔

Very very nice 👌

Not even sure that 'the big one' would fit into my shooting shed 😅

Looks like there's not much room between the cocking lever (fully forward) and the protruding magazine. Did this feel uncomfortable at all?

looks good but i could see when you were cocking the rifle you two fingers looked really close to the magazine, could be a problem if you got big fingers! these seem to be like a few others, styled on the fx range ? keep up with the great shows .

Love that straight pull 😊

Whens the lyra being reviewed

I'd the the FAC version. Shame I Don't have a licence. Tempted...😂

Weren't the old Falcons a strait pull lever?

Wow really fancy my fac now lol

Andy, any chance you can shoot standing in your reviews please.

I shoot from a resting position as this is the most stable position. this is because I am testing the guns accuracy rather than my ability, bringing consistency to the reviews. shooting from a standing position will purely show my ability and not the guns, and it’s not about me. stay safe.

Straight pull on the priest 2

Edgun may have had a straight back lever can't remember model

It looks like a Dreamline

It’s got a fair old “ping” to it.

I thought that was the Pathfinder when I saw it.

surely if you can tune it down you got to be able to crank it up?
