Remington Airacobra Review (.177)-Big Dan's Airguns.

Today we take a look at Remington's first foray in the PCP air rifle market with the all new Remington Airacobra!
The Airacobra will be hitting stores at sub £400 so it'll definitely have some tough competition from makes like Artemis and Gamo.
So the Questions is does the Airacobra have what it takes to stand out from the crowd? Well let's find out!
A massive special thanks also goes to Will at Woodfield GCP for sending us his fantastic upgraded trigger for our review.
Will is an RFD and a creator of many air rifle upgrades and it's definitely worth checking him out at www.woodfield-gcp.co.uk
Alternatively if you like what you see you can also get in touch with us here at www.bigdansairguns.co.uk.

Dan's hit the nail on the head with is rifle. I have the .22 version and yes, it is heavy, but what a great rifle. I highly recommend this beauty, you'll not regret it.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks Busby! It's not a bad rifle is it and it's a lovely solid feeling thing too.

Great review Dan. Nice solid gun. Bargain! Wills magic working as ever , definitely need the wills trigger, the look alone of the new trigger is worth the money. Top man will met a few times, he is a true gentleman. Don't forget Dan 25 cal review. Sorry to keep knocking on about it. Love 25 cal. Cheers m8

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks Lawson! Yeah those Welsh Willy triggers are fantastic. Will is a top bloke and he sent us a couple through as soon as he heard we were filming. We will get a .25 reviewed mate I haven't forgotten but the awkward thing is I don't stock many .25 springers at the moment. I'll keep my eyes open if one pops up locally though. Thanks Lawson and I'll see what I can do.

Hi Dan loving your reviews which are absolutely spot n in my opinion. Through watching your reviews I have bought the SMK M22 in .22 ,it’s a brilliant gun . It is very accurate and easy to use with a good Hawke scope on . I have also bought the Remington Airacobra in .77 which is once again spot on and easy to us. I have also taken your advice and bought a replacement trigger unit from Welsh Willy . Now I would really appreciate a link from you please demonstrating how to change the trigger over please .

[@davewalker3873]

I was really impressed with the 5p covering the grouping!!!

[@iannsr125]

Bought one and found the bolt roughness was due to the greas having metal fillings in it , stripped the gun down and cleaned it and relubricated the bolt and it is now silky smooth . I was impressed how well balanced the gun felt and mine is a .22 and is fairly accurate. But I think smk listend about the scope as mine is a ao front adjustable .

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Ian! That's great to hear, hopefully they'll sort the trigger out too.. if they do even out of the box the Airacobra will be an excellent bit of kit. In the meantime if you still have it I can't recommend a WW trigger enough. Thanks Ian and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your Airacobra.

[@cjnev9618]

Wow what a difference with the Welsh willy trigger, great accuracy 👌🏻 Great review as always Dan, always appreciated 😉

Thanks Chris! That trigger is fantastic and completely transforms how the rifle shoots. Thanks Chris!

[@OldNavajoTricks]

I'm lookimg for alternatives to the Nove Vista Alpha as they seem to have disappeared and this seems viable, although much steeper on the pocket...

[@EDCandLace]

A friend of ours needed a scope for his Impact X .30 he bought from hubby and I and offered one of these in .22 for a Hawke Sidewinder that we had laying around (we shoot Night Force scopes on our Powder Burners and PCPs as hubby and I are both sponsored by them in PRS series). We told him he could have it but but he was like no i won't accept it for free so we took the gun. It's been a fun tinkering gun. We stripped it down, worked the valve, opened the transfer port changed hammer springs to get the power we wanted. We found it really shoots FX Hybrids really well. Like much better then we expected. We dialed it in for a 10 shot string at 2800 down to 2350psi over those ten pushing 46ftlbs with the Hybrids with a SD of 3fps and a ES over those 10 of 13fps. Its not a gun we are going use for anything other then killing Racoons that house up in our two large warehouses as well as possums. So it just stays out in the warehouse and when we see a possum or coon on the security cams we go take him. Some of the shots are rather long when we are at one warehouse and see a pest at the other the shots wind up being between 70 and 130y. This gun at 46ftlbs wuth the Hybrids is deff capable of Racoons heads at 120y. 50y 10 shot groups with the Hybrids are around 1 inch and 10 shot 100y groups are 1.5 to 1.75 minute. It won't shoot with our high end guns but that's to be expected. For what it is it's very good. The only pellet that it really performed with was JSB 15.89s at 28ftlbs. We really couldn't get it to shoot anything else worth a darn. The hybrids and 15.89s was the only thing that shot. At its current tune it did shoot .218 H&N 21 grain slugs decently at well but only out to about 70y and opened quickly after but at 50y they shot amazingly well and super flat. It's a fun little project gun that's for sure and the barrel in ours deff allows you to shoot Hybrids well but that is only once you really get them moving and you will have a very short shot string. We could run a shot string that's prolly 20 to 25 shots with a ES of 25 to 30fps with power levels around 38 to 40ftlbs. I will say this until we got to 40ftlbs and higher the Hybrids wouldn't preform. Once we hit 40ftlbs the accuracy just got better and better with every 10fps we added up until we maxed out at 46ftlbs. That required heavy valve work and is about all that your gonna be able to get without going to a really short shot string with a super heavy hammer spring and heavier hammer along with over filled fill pressure. If we went that route starting with say a fill of around 3300psi down to say 2900psi over ten shots with say NSA 27.5s 55 to 58ftlbs would be possible. They route we went 46ftlbs after some modding and you have a fantastic slug slinger that you can throw in the truck and not worry about scratches and such on your high end guns. Also the trigger with some polishing time and a couple parts can be made in to a pretty decent trigger. Ours has about .25 inch of first stage take up and a fairly defined stop with zero creep and a 1.2lb break weight and we drilled and tapped a over travel set screw in the back of the trigger guard. Not a match grade trigger by any means but a very good trigger by anyone's standard. Hubby and I are spoiled by owning world class guns that have world class triggers. So triggers are held to a very high degree by us and after some work this trigger is very usable... Out the box... YUCK.

[@richarddixon7276]

Great revue Dan . I really enjoyed the show - as always ! ,it is a very attractive rifle and would look so much better with the Sabre colouring , shame it's a bit of a porker though ! , it's even heavier than my HW 90 which is about as heavy as I can reasonably manage , I shall certainly shoulder one as soon as I see one in the flesh , as for the scope well I think that par for the course when they're effectively just bunging in a freebie , It took over an hour to watch this due to constant interruptions but it was worth the wait . Cheers Dan keep up the good work .

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Richard! Thanks for the comments mate it means a lot. Yeah she's pretty weighty make no mistake about that but it does its best to hide it, as you can hopefully see in the vid it's brilliantly balanced which does make the rifle much easier to handle. Hahaha I feel your pain regarding interruptions, when I was filming I had to stop for helicopters, a tractor and two Apache gunships that flew over ridiculously low (amazing sound though!) They'll get me one of these times I'm sure haha.

Shoutout to you, and Welsh Willy!

[@bigdansairguns83]

Especially Will that trigger is fantastic.

[@petemulhearn7787]

That's quite a piece of kit for the price. As for the weight, I have a .177 cal HW100 TK with a Hawke Airmax scope and that weighs in at 10.2 pounds so to me the Remington does not seem particularly heavy.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Pete, I find that depending how a rifle is balanced can greatly change the perception of its weight. The Airacobra is pretty centred regarding balance so it doesn't feel as heavy as you may expect. I'm very much like you Pete I actually prefer a heftier rifle.. these new fancy PCP's that are feather light feel like toys! I always like how Boris the blade puts it in Snatch:"Heavy is good.. heavy is reliable, if it does not work you can always hit them with it".

[@Airgunfunrich]

Should really have done both triggers at 31 yd with the konus for a direct comparison

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

Only so many ways you can make a gun but reminds me of my daystate before they went all electronic depending on which way the hammer is cocked

[@bigfatbuddha88]

Hi Dan, Ive just got my new Airacobra, amd the welsh willie trigger is on the way. Would you consider doing a video of replacing this trigger unit, or a similar one? Or would you be able to offer any tips or advice on the process of swapping the trigger unit on the gun? Cheers

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I don't own any of the entry market pcps , I'm lucky enough to own a couple very expensive daystates etc, however I'm very impressed with the stuff from Artemis (snow peak) that's why I asked if they made this it does remind me of their stuff.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Oh go on Mr Daystate rub it in haha. The lower end gear is really picking up steam now and I still say that the Artemis M16 my favourite PCP that I stock (although the Airacobra and the Puncher Pro 500 come very close). The little Gamo Phox's are excellent as well. Thanks mate!

Hey BD, cracking review again. I've been following your reviews for some time now, and In my opinion you shouldn't listen to those saying to stop waffling. You are you and its your character, it for me is what makes the reviews what they are, informative and fun. Good job. Do you think you will get your hands on any of the remington dominance series guns. Would be good to check them out. They look very interesting. Fingers crossed.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Andrew! Thanks ever so much for the kind comments mate. I welcome all criticisms as it's the only way we'll grow at the end of the day and I'd like to be as community driven as possible. I'll always ramble a little bit but we'll maybe streamline the review slightly. We'll see what happens. Regarding the big Remmy's I'm very interested at taking a look at those! From what I've heard from my suppliers who have been speccing them up and handling them before they go on sale they're incredibly impressed. We'll have to take a look mate. Cheers Andrew!

Barrel band is metal ? This rifle would look a very nice HFT Starter (and hopefully, "finisher"..) THX - also for your kind reply. !

[@darthbrandon1972]

not sure if my store messed up but mine came with a adjustable parallax rifle scope not that im complaining lol

[@PiperX1X]

Cracking honest review, and it’s nice to see that on a budget gun it has if I’m correct a metal trigger guard, unlike something like a daystate huntsman regal which costs about double which they use a cheep plastic guard!

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Jonathan. You're 100% correct, the trigger guard is all metal and in general the rifle feels ridiculously solid. Regarding plastics you see it on all rifles these days, even the AGT Vulcan which SRP's at around £1350 uses a plastic trigger, plastic trigger guard and not particularly pleasant plastic magazines. The funniest way of looking into it is comparing the Vulcan to even an SMK B2 which has very little plastic (even the foresight is metal). Except the B2 is only £48!

[@topshot2787]

Good evening Dan, if you had to choose one sub 12ftlbs rifle calibre in. 177 and. 22 what would be your favourite calibre? All the best.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Top Shot, that's the questions that's the hardest one for any airgunner to answer, both calibres have their pros and cons and it entirely depends on what you plan to do with the rifle. I personally prefer .177 in all of my rifles simply because it's what I've always used.. that being said though each calibre has its own advantages. .177's tend to have a flatter trajectory due to the fact that the pellet will be travelling almost 200fps faster than the .22 (800ftps vs 600fps depending on pellet) so longer ranged shooting will be easier with the .177 due to less drop. .22's on the other hand are a larger and heavier pellet that most people would recommend for hunting due to the fact that on average they'll impart more energy into your quarry whereas a .177 may overpenetrate. The other advantage with .22 regarding PCP's is that they'll use less air on average and so in .22 form the Airacobra could possibly be capable of 120-130 shots per fill. The downside to the .22 is more drop especially beyond 30 yards in my experience but a lighter pellet can mitigate this somewhat. As mentioned I'm a .177 man personally and I've used my .177's for hunting with little issues so far but everybody has their own preferences when it comes to calibre. Thanks mate and sorry if I've made it even more confusing for you haha.

[@topshot2787]

@@bigdansairguns83 Thats the answer i wanted to hear really. I always like to ask "people in the know" that question. i do prefer 177. Many do say, that. 22 is only the better choice if you are going to go down the FAC route. People always say.22 for hunting even in sub 12ftlb but shot placement is paramount as you have to be able to hit the bloody thing and with 177 it is much more forgiving and when its travelling nearly 200 fps faster than its bigger brother, its more than up to the job of hunting as well as target work. . All the best from lancashire.

Hi Shane, Yes mate this is the one regret I have with the video. It's a very simple task though simply requiring the shooter to knock out one pin and then simply replace the trigger blades. After that remove a small plate at the rear of the unit and job's a goodun! Cheers mate.

[@shaneweightman]

Big Dan's Airguns looked up ,his sight and appears I can get a trigger for 24 quid , for the Gamo Phox, so after the lockdown might get one and also Phil at the rat works has given me a price on putting in a regulator and tune, , to double the shot count , only 65 to 70 shots per charge standard in 177 ,, so the air a cobra, beats the Phox on shot count , infact impressive gun for the price , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

[@Doctor_Boz]

@@robertbelfitt2975 spoke to Will directly and found that his latest batch had that common issue for some reason - can't quite remember now as it was a good year ago. In the end I used a hammer and punch to wrap the safety guard further around the geometry of the trigger. Goodbye warranty! 😅 I don't use the rifle anymore since a pellet fell backwards off the single shot tray and inside the receiver, blocking the hammer from hitting the valve rendering it unable to fire. Should have spent the extra £££ on something higher quality

hmm, an ok heavy gun if you spend another £80+ for scope and trigger group, the cocking lever looks a bit workman like?

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey mate. The bolt is very "gets the job done" and to its credit I had no issues with it. Regarding the trigger it really does transform the rifle and to be fair to the Remington most guns would have to have a scope bought for them anyways. The Airacobra definitely brings enough to the table to be worth a look and that stock although a bit too bright is second to none.

[@alungibbon9146]

How do these largely Chinese manufactured airguns compare with premium offerings from Europe as regards accuracy & reliability? I would interested to see a comparison between a premium springer & pcp & equivalent Chinese.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Alun, We've actually got something like that planned with our next few videos comparing a Chinese rifle against a very highly regarding German rifle. In my experience as someone who sells both German and Chinese air rifles the Chinese are actually if anything more reliable than the Germans despite the common consensus. The advantage that the more expensive rifles have is that the barrels tend to be slightly less pellet fussy. That being said once you find the right pellet for the Chinese rifles they're every bit as accurate as the German rifles from my experience. Plus in the long run it's far easier to get tuning parts for the Chinese rifles compared to European. Thanks Alun and I hope this helps.

Yes nice, but: again no thumb shelf for thumb - up shooters, short barrel tenon, middle finger knuckle busting trigger guard ? Filler cap bound to go lost.... LOP looks shortish - try it without that heavy winter coat.. BUT: Sling swivel studs included ! Big THX !

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Hendrick, If you like places to rest your thumbs then the Kral Pro rifles will suit you perfectly mate. Regarding your concerns with the trigger guard I've got larger hands than some and I didn't have any issues at all. Losing the filler cap would more be down to operator error than a fault with the rifle and whilst you're right it could be possible to lose the cap.. you won't lose the fill probe at least as it's built into the rifle! I'd love to be able to try it without the coat but it was cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey out there haha. The sling swivels are very much appreciated mate as the gun does come out a little heavy. If I was keeping one as a hunting rifle I think a sling would be my first addition alongside the WW trigger. Thanks Hendrick!

Very interesting rifle ,(are these made by the snow peak factory?)

Hi mate, they aren't Snow Peak but going from memory I believe they're SAG.

Welsh willy is a legend! They do some of the best air rifle tuning kits ever. Got 1 in my hw 95 & bsa lightning. Pellet on pellet out to 35 yards amazing results..

Nova vista alpha? When when when 🤔😉😉😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey Chris, I've inquired about the Alpha's for you mate but if we do a review it'd either be the Wood in .22 or the synthetic in .177.. our importers are completely out of the wood in .177 I'm afraid. If you don't mind a synthetic review I'll see what I can do.

Thanks any comments will be much appreciated Cheers

[@phillipsharpe6459]

Nice review dan , to heavy for me , but a good rifle for the price 😁👍

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Phillip. Thanks mate as always it means a lot. It's a heavy thing to be sure but it's a brilliantly balanced gun which does make it quite a bit more manageable and I could hold it seriously still. That being said though I think a sling would be the first modification if I was to take it hunting haha. Thanks Phillip.

[@cjnev9618]

Is that a cocking handle or a twiglet? 🤔

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Chris! It doesn't have the biggest bolt to be sure. It's very similar to the Brocock Compatto in the way the bolt handles.

[@cjnev9618]

@@bigdansairguns83 only pulling ya leg a bit Dan, I do make after market cocking bolts as a pass time, give me a thread dimension and I'll send you an sample. Without doubt it'll improve the ease of cocking 😉👍🏻

very impressive gun for this price point! Did you say 'one stage trigger'? With Wills trigger unit, is it still a two stage trigger??

[@johnnyrebel1617]

Where is this air rifle made ? U.S. or Europe ?

Hi Richard! Let me know what you think mate, it's a very interesting rifle to be sure and a great start into the PCP arena for Remington.

[@phillipmendiola1257]

Is it available in the United States

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Phillip, take a look at the Beeman Commander. It's a very similar rifle albeit with a different bolt and stock. Thanks mate.

[@phillipmendiola1257]

Big Dan's Airguns , Thank You .

[@lfcmarkeb7124]

wonder why other name it has from other companies? as other Chinese rifles do.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Airguns are very similar to other businesses and such on the market. Usually there will be one equipment manufacturer that will allow other companies to put there branding on them. You can see this with vans, cars, and even washing machines. The Chinese aren't the only ones to do this neither, take a look at the new Webley's and Kral rifles for instance. Weihrauch is also badged as Beeman in the USA.

[@fauzimachamili1691]

Generally Indonesian Airgun using Micro coupler like that, model before is 1 tsm, just buy adapter. Hhee

[@airgunspestingch.8426]

👋🏾 this gun is not in the USA? Yet Remington is a USA company and I’m pretty sure it’s made in China. Nice looking gun how many magazines? Single shot tray? Who makes the stand?

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi mate. The rifle comes with the one magazine and no single shot tray is included unfortunately. The stand is a Deben rifle maintenance stand. Thanks bud.

Why not shoot through the Crony and see which is the flyer .

[@TheCarpvader]

Awesome review Dan, I've just bought one 👍🏻 changed the scope already, now all I need is a WW trigger. You are right though, she is HEAVY! Any idea where I can get extra magazines from? Thanks

[@TheCarpvader]

Update on the above comment. Worse rifle I've ever owned. Went through 3 before getting my money back. Leaked air constantly, couldn't seem to get a tight group, and as mentioned yeah it's heavy. I even replaced the trigger with Welsh willy upgrade.

Hi Don, that's definitely the Gamo trigger unit but that's the only thing they have in common. Cheers mate.

[@thestudio9359]

Will it get them pesky rabbits ?

[@thedeester100]

I cannot understand how a poor scope can be that poor on a pcp? There are vids on You Tube of people putting cheap scopes on center fires and getting better results than that. Maybe its broken. Even the cheap Chinese scopes I have wont spray pellets around like that on an accurate gun.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey mate. The scope is useable.. but it's far from good. The problem is that it's a fixed objective scope with a thick reticle. At 25 yards with 4x zoom it's crystal clear, take it to 8x (my usual zoom setting) and it's like someone has smothered it in vaseline. As mentioned in the video it'll get you shooting but there's plenty better on the market.

[@kanehood3478]

I think the gun should come without the scope and really should be about £100 cheaper before i would consider it

Its a review, and a very good one. It would be a poor review by staying silent.

[@phillipsharpe6459]

Not bad for a Chinese rifle, in my opinion the "safety " is far from safe, if the rifle is loaded and you go to flick the safety on and miss , you will hit the trigger and off it goes, not very safe at all, 😁👍

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Phillip! This is a rare instance I'll disagree with you here. The safety toggle is higher up than the trigger blade and you'd have to intentionally pull low to hit the trigger. The safety is also spring loaded so even if you accidentally graze it somewhat it'll still snap into safe. Plus without the WW trigger upgrade it'd take forever to accidentally discharge anyways as the pull is longer than the Empire state building.😂
