250Z Check Out The 270z, Nice!

[Murfdurf82]

I would say the 350z is the Snowpeak Max 2 not the Max 1. Max 2 is the bottle version of the Max 1.

My Max 1 with big scope and flashlight weighs in at almost exactly 12lbs.

I do like the Max 1 but the 350Z/Max2 with the bottle would be my choice.

Wow what scope you have on that lady! I just started to play w my max 1. I have a light Pinty 3-9x40 ir I'll shoot in my back yard 25 yards and one of these days it'll be the vortex crossfire 6-18x44 for longer range. It's a heavy lady. Do you have a barrel band up front, I'm not seeing anything for the max 1 yet.

Exactly the same as you! I few years ago I sold the majority of my firearms in favor of continuing with air rifles.

I've always said that I won't/don't collect rifles and only buy/own what I have use for. For decades I've lived by that but as of the last couple years my air rifle ownership has grown above what I really 'NEED'. And now..., I know I'll have to own the 270z!

Same here, I sold all but 3 powder burners and one of those is a WWII Walther P38!

I really hadn't done any serious shooting for many years - life and business travel kept getting in the way. After I retired, we moved to several acres in the very rural Sierra Nevada foothills. I bought an inexpensive break-barrel on a whim and haven't looked back. I now have too many airguns to regularly fire them all, but that 270z is one sweet airgun (and a fitting companion for my 250z)!

So the 350z is actually a licensed version of the Max 2 bottle version.

Barra did make some changes when licensing the 250z so I doubt it’ll be exactly the same.

Anyone heard anything about a release date for the 270z yet?

Yep the 270 z is very nice but waiting on the new pistol with the pcp cartridge’s that will be the next purchase as since I had one of the first Saxby and Palmer that I built the first regulated airguns in the early 80s and have several of the cartridge systems including the Modoc. I just can’t wait!!!

Bro, im all about those revolvers.

I would not rule it out either. I still like how SPA's air over barrel design works, over the FX designed system, it's way simpler, which I like.

I like them all really. The challenge going forward is to figure out what to spend my time on, more than anything else.

It really looks like FX spent a LOT of engineering time and expense to get around SPA's patents.

I own a .25 Barra 250z and a .25 FX DRS 600mm. The FX is a beautiful rifle but I never would have paid full price for it - I picked it up at an estate sale. Is it worth close two to three times the cost of the 250z? The Barra has a more power than the DRS and the accuracy equals and often bests the FX at 100m so I'd have to say 'no.' I expect the upcoming Barra 270z will widen the gap significantly.

Wow......I finally saw the 270z and 300z as well as a couple other nice upcoming items from Barra. Almost wish I waited on buying the 250z, but I'm very happy with it. Now if Barra would like to send me one to try out.......I'd be more than happy to take one

Wonder what the weight difference is going to be between the 270z and the 250z? Now that I have had the 250z for a while and carried in the field on hunts I might find it hard to switch to the 270z for the same use if it weighs a lot more.

I guess we'll learn soon enough.

This is another product that came out so close to another product that I don't feel like jumping at the moment. I would certainly be getting one if I didn't already have a 250z that I love. I'm excited for everyone to get one, I'll live vicariously through you all. lol

I'm of the same mindset. No plan of getting the 270z but reserve the right to change my mind at any moment!

Fired the 250z some more this morning. Dropping the velocity from 950fps to 940fps with AEA 21.9gr is for sure a step in the right direction toward cleaning-up the 'flier' issue.
