Stinger Minerva Budget PCP

I have the Snowpeak PR900W, which is essentially the same as this one but it has a regulator. Absolutely fantastic rifle, I've been nailing spinners at 60m with no issues down the range.

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

2:05 people who are concerned about the gauge being on the front of the cylinder (and it is a valid concern) could always just keep a small mirror handy. I'm going to be building a shooting bench in my backyard soon, and I plan to mount a small mirror somewhere on it for exactly this reason. Reading a gauge at an angle from the side isn't ideal, because you can't properly tell where the needle is pointing unless you look at it straight on. Reading it from the side essentially introduces a parallax error. Using a mirror still means you're looking at it from an angle, but the mirror makes the angle much smaller, giving a more accurate reading. I guess most people just make sure the gun is empty and decocked before looking at the gauge, but I think pointing the muzzle of a gun at your face is just a bad habit to get into. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, and even seemingly over-the-top safety precautions can make good habits. It's all about having several layers of redundancy. You know for sure the gun isn't loaded, until one day it is.

It's nice to see a PCP with open sights.

Had this rifle but as the Diana Stormrider. Fitted an after market regulator and it turned a good Rifle into a great Rifle. Great review as always Andy. Happy Shooting everyone.

[@mick3864]

Where did you get regulator?

[@Lirointhemist]

In my country this rifle is know as the artemis pr900, very popular among hunters, he has 21 fpe in .22 and has a regulated version that is more expensive. Artemis, black mosse, Fox, ETC, its the same gun

[@richardcormier4561]

What if the manufacturer reprinted the gauge face in reverse and mounted a swivel cap that held a small mirror on the inside of the cap so when viewing the pressure the user does not have to put themselves in any danger to the muzzle end of the rifle the cap would also protect the face of the gauge.

[@airguns_rc]

I have the exact same gun called the Diana Stormruder. I put a HUMA regulator in it, and the Diana Bandit gauge in, and it is a little shooter for a budget PCP. I put a Hawke Vantage on top.

[@AIRGUNZ_MILITIA]

thanks for letting someone know it is basically the stormrider. i was interested untill that was made known. but that bandit is not bad for a pistol.

[@Frenchbroadcatman.]

It's a Diana stormrider with a different name on it. Have one in .22 absolutely love that lil gun

[@miguelo7478]

Here in Chile that little thing is the most popular and economic pcp known as PR900 It comes regulated (R) and unregulated (W) versions, It cost something about 150-200 EEUU dollars, and without the power restriction of 16 joules It gives about 15-20 shots before having to refill. Is the same as diana stormrider, and also very close in its specifications to the XM1 Stoeger from Beretta but this last being very diferent in his outside. Good pcp for starters 👍

[@Lirointhemist]

Yo tuve este rifle pero era tedioso cargarlo cada tan pocos tiros y lo vendí, ahora tengo el dilema si comprarme un 22lr o un PCP m30 que da cerca de 70 tiros de autonomía

[@WillyK51]

@@Lirointhemist No soy del Sur, pero el asunto seria la legalidad del arma en tu comunidad. Descargar un Rifle de Aire o disparar un arma de fuego. Necesitarias un silenciador en el 22 LR. Tengo ambos. En el campo sin restricciones legales me quedo con el 22Lr.Con el 22 LR puedes cazar animales muy grandes(Hasta un res de 200 Kgs entre los ojos o detras de la oreja a 40 mts) Y si le vas a poner silenciador tiene que ser de Magazine/cacerina frente al gatillo, no de tubo bajo el cañon

[@Lirointhemist]

@@WillyK51 hace poco en mi país prohibieron los silenciadores incluso para armas de airsoft. tengo más alcance con el 22LR pero necesito tener licencia de caza (pero con limitante de 3000 tiros anuales) o de deporte, que puedo gastar de forma ilimitada dentro del club y puedo tener semiautomaticos, lo malo es que las balas son más caras que los pellets de rifle de aire, además que la munición es escaza ultimamente

[@WillyK51]

@@Lirointhemist Hay muchos rifles de Aire a buen precio y muy potentes. Personalmente prefiero .22 y usando municion pesada con un rifle poderoso. Antes que un PCP( Recarga y complicaciones) un resorte o piston de gas y con disco de 10 tiros mi preferido. Aprendi con un Walter 177, 4.5 a los 10 Años y tenia que acercarme hasta uno 10-15 Mts y tirar a la cabeza de pajaros tamaño faisan. Tiro al cuerpo no los mataba. Luego de adulto he tenido la suerte de varias armas de .22Lr hasta 30-06 y escopetas. Suerte y un club de caza/tiro una buena idea. Ya a los 23 años recargaba por falta de axceso a municion. Si se consiguen los componentes(Polvora y Fulminantes) hasta la municion colaba. una forma divertida de mantener el hobby y si esta permitido busca un tirador que se retire y venda los aparatos con componentes incluidos

[@Lirointhemist]

@@WillyK51 pensaba en un savage mark II, he oido maravillas de la presición de ese rifle ademas que tiene un precio asequible, tambien podemos acceder a rifles semiautomaticos acá, pero además que gastan balas como un campeón los venden a más de 3 veces su precio original solo por ser "novedad" y ser "tacticos", además que muchos clubes se las dan de exclusivos y es dificil entrar, otros son muy accesibles pero son canchas pequeñitas, una buena forma de crear munición del 22 es con fulminantes de fijación calibre 22 y aderirlos a ojivas del mismo calibre, eso si hay que hacerlo con mucha presición para que no de problemas de alimentación y dudo que funcionen en un semiautomatico

For the price - Amazing quality design and performance for a youngsters starter air rifle. And in reality even better fun for an old fossils (me) backyard plinker and indoor 25 yd target rifle. And I am invested into the SMK/Artemis/Snowpeak eco-system. so I have several rifles from CO2 based CP1 CP2, to the (FAC) PCP Pr900S Gen2 regulated and the uber powerful (FAC) Artemis Gas Nitro Piston break barrel. almost all parts/components are interchangeable across the brand.

It's the rebranded yet again smk pr900w. Wonder if it has inherited all the problems that goes with it ? Eg barrel droop, tight breech, faulty mags and difficult loading. Would have been nice to see group results using the 1.77mag, and does this gun have a regulator fitted I wonder ?
