Umarex Strikepoint .177 Caliber Pellet Airgun

I purchased this gun because I grew up around a similar pump-action .22 caliber pistol, however, I purchased this particular make/model for its power/velocity over anything else. I was pleasantly surprised to find this weapon had more to offer than just being the most powerful in its class. PROS: Came pre-oiled from the factory, complete with that old fashioned gun oil smell. Sturdy construction with no "fake" or "non-functional" ornamental parts. The trigger-block safety actually works! Powerful! While I did not use a chronograph, it left quite a mess of cardboard and target paper- far more than I was expecting. The shots seem more straight/true compared to other guns in this class. Super accurate and consistent grouping (shooting 14.3 grain hollow points from 25 feet) Trigger pull is smooth and easy, making accurate consistent shots possible Pumping is mostly easy and feels consistent, no wiggles. Receiving bolt feels sturdy, and plenty of clearance is afforded for the more "exotic' ammunition (about 7/16 inch to be exact) Crazy quiet, especially considering how powerful this gun is. No CO2 cartridges, No tanks or expensive high-pressure pumps needed. CONS: No rail for accessories- This gun has the power (and real estate!) to be worthy of accessories, and yet there are no rails. This wouldn't entirely be a problem, except for the next con... Not so great open-sights- While it does have adjustable rear sights, it isn't very user-friendly in terms of target acquisition, or for new-to-guns users. I personally enjoy the open sights of this gun, whereas my wife adamantly does not. The manual received shows a standard dovetail sight, which may be confusing for new gun users who will see a different sight picture when using this weapon system. Practice will overcome this though! :) Other Thoughts: Ultimately, this gun is a must own (assuming you can legally do so of course). You can teach firearm safety quite effectively with this gun, as well as proper marksmanship techniques that will carry over, should you decide to take a leap into real firearms. You can make quick work of small pests around the farm or ranch. Or just a really good time plinking targets with friends. This gun will not disappoint, that's for sure!

It's a Tack-Driver and Very Powerful, Easy to load too,This is a strait bone crusher,or for target. So It went through a 3/4" inch piece of Solid Wood. Did other test too,may video. This Umarex Strike Point .22 cal Pistol has been extremely Accurate an Powerful,tryed 3 different kind of Pellets and was cutting paper with all so very accurate and not picky on ammo. So far took about 350/400 shots, mostly being full power shots,an everything is good to go. It's better than expected it to be. No-disappointment 👍,an it's Very solidly built,there also is some pretty cool big mods/modifications you could do to it If you wanted to..,or smaller mods like trim half the hood "front sight protector" off with a dremel cut wheel. Great job UMAREX... Personally here left everything stock,an the hood is not a problem doesn't slow me down the slightest bit no matter if dark or not. But also wouldn't bother me with it trimmed half off either,it would still look good,nice little mod for someone. So for more technical but definitely doable mods "see youtube" there's a few impressive mods. Okay so all in all We like this one just as much as my crosman22,seems like it may have a little more power too when we tested it shooting into same piece of Solid Wood,an other. Would love to see UMAREX come out with a .22 co2 version of this with same good power or MORE! I don't care if it needs two co2's or not,an a clip/mag would be nice. Also if Umarex made another .22 pump version pistol they should make it even More Powerful no matter how many pumps it takes to get to full power,that would be great. OR would like to come out with a Versatile Powerful .22 pellet Pistol that can be Both Pumped and take Co2..that would be great nice all in one pumping it up or an throwing a co2 in it..that would be a wonderful Versatile Co2/Pump .22 Pistol all in one..,an would makes things easier,an a perfect tool to have could be semi auto/bolt-action an possibly with some sort of clip/mag, been thinking of something like this for years 🧐

This pump has the power it's a nice piece only sights are not the best other than the sights could be better it's pretty accurate for the price it's not to bad on pumping it loosens up after some sighting in one type of pellets a crosman hollow did not shoot correctly I took the pellets back to the store got hunting and precision the hunting type is more accurate than the precision but they're both perfect for the umarex . 22 caliber pellet pumpPistol

Positive: This pellet gun is accurate out to 25 yards, it ran through the chronometer with 10 pumps at 450 feet per second, and it handled .22 caliber pellets of many weights and designs. Perhaps Less Positive: It is a lot of work to pump this thing 10 times every time you want to launch a pellet. Okay, you can get a decent shot at a decent velocity with 7 pumps, but that is still a lot of pumping to do. Maybe you're young enough to have the strength and the time to do all that pumping, maybe you want to use this air gun for some kind of calisthenic exercise. This is a high quality, well priced, hard hitting pellet pistol. If you want to do all that pumping.

The gun is a bit award in size, and takes a lot of pumps to get it going and I feel like I waste a lot of time between shots. It's fairly accurate, was able to hit about 15 yards away with no issues.

Under 1" M.O.A.@ 25' right out the box!

I'll throw away this piece of garbage this morning, after being burned for $65 for it. I had bought it thinking the trigger pull could not possibly be worse that that of a Crossman air pistol, but I was wrong. The trigger creeps and takes lots of force to release. No way anyone could possibly target shoot while struggling to make the trigger release. Construction is cheap, screws are self threading into plastic... definitely a piece of junk.

Powerfull punch for the .22cal I purchased. Pumping it up is stiff and gets stiffer with each additional pump. It let's you know right away how much compression you'll need to target. You'll find out. * As with all air pistols or rifles, follow the manufacturer's suggestions on upkeep. [cleaning, and which oils to use] Do not use the same oils and cylinder solvents you would use with your handguns and hunting rifles. And no stripping the gun barrel and re- bluing. Very important. I'll bought a cleaning kit, pellets, and oil at the same time. Keep this air pistol clean and oiled and enjoy it for much time to come.
