Disappointing Airgun Products-Let’s hear it !!

[pan60]

i have always looked at cheap and affordiable as differant horses.
i have no issues with affordible and often have aquried cheap thinking i was getting affordible just to be irritable and agrevated.
i think today so many manufacturers are cheap crap wrapped in an affordible blanket

I can't disagree with that sentiment!

The Notos has been the winner in my book for a cheap gun that can play with the big boys. The Avenge X is a winner as well in my air-senal. I’m sure there are other ones but I can’t think of any but I’m sure the list is very short.

Only descent ones are probably Brocock , Daystate and AAA

Ya, nice metal magazines but only hold 10 pellets and cost $120. I'd love to buy a Daystate or BRK, but I'm not supporting their magazine debacle.

Yeah they’re expensive. Try some Karm magazines

The Air Arms magazines are very decent as well... plastic and aluminum (where is matters) but have been flawless, and loading is a breeze. The plastic is still plastic, but I don't mind it! They come with 2 mags and last I looked are always in stock and run 60 cdn. Hopefully brk/daystate will come down on that cost or include 2 for sure.

Quality is like buying oats. If you want clean, fresh oats you have to pay a fair price. If you are satisfied with the oats that have already been through the horse, those are a little cheaper.

Gotta pay to play. Prices are never going down.

i have the AAA and mis Carol has the BRK both have nice metal magazines love them. i think the BRK has the best magazine ive seen.
i am not a fan of plastic.
ten shots is plenty for me. we grabed a couple maganizes and it works for us.

Agreed on that front!....being used to springers getting an air rifle with 10 shots was....Amazing! How terrible a shot are you that you need 20plus shots? I also find it's easier to crack off more shots if u got em....so if nothing else smaller mags can save ammo, oh and the extra uneeded weight, and high cheek rest, tall scope mounts...no thanks

Get a single shot pcp like a Talon SS or something no mags to worry about

There's nothing wrong with plastics. Polymer technology has come a long way and the new plastics are as good as anything. At least when you drop a plastic part it won't bend like aluminum rendering it useless. Think about this the next time you fly on a Boeing 787.

For my type of shooting single shot is utterly useless. So go figure - it actually matters what type of shooting you do.

Just depends on the quality of the plastic/nylon whatever. Think of the Remington Nylon 66!

Years ago my wife came out into the driveway to ask what I was doing. I thought that it was fairly obvious that I was smashing my weed Wacker with a sledgehammer. So, I politely informed her that I was making sure that I would never fix it again.

reminds me of a cousin who ask me to ride to the river with him one day and when we got there he started chunking all his china made tools in.
he said he was tied of them breaking or not working.
he ask if wanted any i laughed and you should know better then that.

I know we’re headed out into the “weeds” with this, but….
I work with someone who every time a weedeater gives him trouble (he buys the cheapest thing he can) he will take said weedeater and go out to the back of his property and with every bit of force he can muster hit a tree and wraps the shaft around it. I think he’s got like four or five sitting there wrapped around the same tree.
