Macavity Arms MA2 Sniper Review (Affordable Tack Driving PCP Air Rifle)

This thing rocks! Macavity Arms hit it out of the park on their first offering. These guys know how to make PCP rifles! With all calibers, .177, .22, .25, and .30, tuned to shoot 890 fps straight out of the box, I knew this would be an accurate gun. I was not disappointed! This full review of the brand new Macavity Arms MA2 PCP rifle will give you an up close look at this beauty as well as show you the outstanding performance this Precharged Pneumatic air rifle is capable of.

I don't own a pcp but love your video's ,this might just be the one

[@AirgunChannel]

This is a good one. Stylish, under $450, regulated. The best compressor is the $300 Yong Heng and hook it right to your gun. Don't use it to fil scuba tanks and it will last for years. You need a PCP moisture filter too.

[@michaelpurdy5908]

I’m telling you I got my first one about little over a year ago. I got a .30 cal the shoots over 1000fps and now I have a bunch lol. You’re definitely gonna want to invest in a suppressor cuz my 30 cal makes my ears ring without one. It’s by far the thing can consumes most of my free time.

Great video. I'm in the market for a new PCP and this looks like it would fill my needs (hunting). I'm assuming the 890 fps is from the longer barrel. What is the fps from the shorter barrel?

[@AirgunChannel]

Do they make a short one? I think the longer barrel may be the .30 cal

[@dc-wp8oc]

New to air guns. Here is the question: Is it advisable to let the air gun sit with a full or partial charge for any extended period of time? If not, is there a method to relieve air pressure without shooting out the air pressure? Was disappointed to hear how loud this was and that the moderator only slightly reduced that dB level.

[@AirgunChannel]

ALWAYS store PCP airguns full or mostly full of air. Storing them empty will ruin the seals.

[@dc-wp8oc]
