Other benefits are that the magazine itself is very easy to load, so long as you have a flat table (or similar) to do so. Plus, the face plate is provided with useful apertures that allow the number of pellets remaining to be seen. HAM Tester Eric Brewer considered this accuracy to be respectable for a breakbarrel air rifle of this price. Really, it was only that one shot at 7:30 breaking the outer ring that spoiled a reasonable group. However Eric did not call that as a “flier”. It's important to know that due to state and local laws, there are certain restrictions for various products. There are yet more goodies inside the box in the form of an Umarex K3 Neo silencer, which screws down on the 1/2”-20 UNF muzzle thread beautifully. It really does make a difference to the sound output from this rifle, and I’m glad that Umarex has included it in the kit – if you’re going to take this rifle out on the rabbits, the silencer will definitely give you an edge. Generally, short-range accuracy was best with either light or heavy pellets! Also the test gun seemed to like H&N pellets, performing well with all HAM’s standard test pellets from the German manufacturer.

This means that it offers strong value from a price/features perspective. However, we also need to consider the other attributes that it offers, like power, consistency and accuracy. We’ll do that in this test review. The Predator GTO and H&N Field Target Trophy Green alloys gave good groups, as did the 8.64 Grain, lead, Field Target Trophy pellets. Best accuracy was achieved using the heavy Baracuda Match pellets and so these were chosen for the 25 Yard test. As a matter of course the state of the art airsoft soldier needs more than that: Equipment like Knives, Lights, Headsets, Slings and cool looking Patches are a must have for everybody. I’m impressed, very impressed with this kit. Yes, there are PCP rifles out there for similar money, but for CO2 lovers this Umarex 850 M2 is a massive step up in terms of quality, accuracy and performance. Not only that, it’s really easy to shoot and extremely good fun, to boot. It’s the ideal gift for our younger shooters and for those just getting into the sport, as well as seasoned shooters who fancy a play with something a little different to the norm. When you open that box and see all the goodies inside, it’s like opening a birthday present – there’s just so much to go at.Generally, the 12-shot rotary magazine worked well. We’ll cover this in more detail in the “Buying and Owning” section below. As always, HAM tests the trigger in “as supplied” condition. However screw adjustment is provided for both pull weight and length of pull, providing some adjustability potential for the interested owner. The Umarex Emerge is a long air rifle. It’s 47-Inches overall length. At a shooting weight of 8 Lbs 11Oz – with the 4 x 32 scope – it’s reasonably heavy but not unmanageable. Prevents inadvertent firing of a semiautomatic pistol when the magazine is partly or fully removed. This 4×32 scope has a fixed focus, however it could be focused for one specific distance if required. Although not all fixed-focus scopes have this capability, the end ring around the objective lens could be unscrewed. This reveals the objective (front) lens in its mount. (See the photo below).

These items normally require Identification (Passport) or a firearms / Shotgun certificate before they are handed over. Shotguns, Rifles, Airguns and Moderators are usually good examples. When purchasing an “Only available in store” item you are in effect paying a deposit for your goods. In most instances you can choose to collect your item from our store or if It's a firearm you can collect it from a 3rd party gun dealer. The latter may be at an additional cost to yourself.

An optical system for giving a magnified view of the target. A reticle, usually mounted in a tube, is displayed in the same plane as the target, making it easier to aim over large distances and providing an aid to shooters with less-than-perfect eyesight. The Emerge is supplied with a bundled 4×32 scope with high Picatinny rings. Although these high rings allow you to use the iron sights with the scope installed, the HAM Team strongly advises you NEVER actually do this! From Latin “qua libra” (what is the weight?). Early cannoneers used this term to refer to cannonball weight. In rifles, revolvers and pistols a distinction is made between the land diameter, groove diameter projectile diameter. Projectile diameters are measured in mm (7.63 mm, 9 mm) or in hundredths of an inch (for example, .22). Because almost all projectiles are below one inch, the leading Zero is left out, so it’s .22 instead of 0,22 Inch. The motion, vertical and horizontal, of a projectile. Trajectories resemble parabolas and depend on six factors: projectile velocity, air resistance, barrel angle, gravity, drag coefficient and twist.

This means that – if you normally shoot at a specific range – you can set this 4 x 32 bundled airgun scope to give its best performance at that distance. This can be an useful benefit for this scope, although not all bundled scopes can do it (and maybe not all the scopes bundled with the Umarex Emerge).A wasp-shaped lead pellet for airguns, used since the 1930s. The name comes from the resemblance to a juggling toy for children. We have a team of expert technicians and a complete repair shop that are able to service a large variety of brands/models of airguns. Rotational movement of a projectile around the bore axis. Stabilizes the trajectory. Caused by spiral grooves in the bore and the ridges between them (lands), which make the projectile spin. Umarex has collaborated with several renowned firearm manufacturers to produce authentic replica airguns that mimic the look, feel, and functionality of their real counterparts. These collaborations have allowed Umarex to offer shooters an unparalleled shooting experience, with airguns modeled after iconic firearms. First off, some great news! The Umarex Emerge air rifle gives you an outstanding choice in how to sight it!
