Remington Mammoth

[@fliesarenegade]

Goodmorning all! Cold, wet and windy in Belgium. Won't be much shooting going on today. Have a cosy weekend you all!

[@dannycarter3647]

Same across the water in the UK. Cold and windy.

[@edwardhurdle5013]

Same across Maryland as well🌬 🥶 😅

[@ASHLEY-p7l3x]

You to from wales

[@Nuju9]

I really don’t understand why people have an issue with a pressure gauge being at the end of the air cylinder, if you’re stupid enough to point a loaded rifle at your face while checking the pressure, then you should not be allowed anywhere near one.

[@howardadams9103]

I always ensure barrel is clear and magazine is away from mine when I check pressure gauge on mine

[@heathhalfhill6867]

Facts 😂👍

[@peterbuckley5204]

Put a wing mirror on the barrel sorted lol

[@nickrolfe367]

Very true you'd never refill a loaded gun

[@RalfyCustoms]

Exactly, on my Hw100 it has has never been a problem, because I have enough common sense to use it 😂

[@waynealvens4748]

Remington has slapped their name on the Snowpeak M25W. I own one of the M25's in 7.62 (.30 cal) in a synthetic stock which is putting out a whopping 90 ft lbs of energy and shoots FX Hybrid slugs very well at 50 yds. Say what you want the Chinese can and do make a descent air rifle regulated for less than most other manufacturers.

[@peterhickson1691]

Identical to the snowpeak m25 (aka artemis/zasdar etc) in wood, excellent rifle, mine is super accurate.

[@alistairj4851]

I was really quite chuffed when I ordered a new gun bag from VA and it came with one of your AAR badges. Thank you.

[@Getting-Older]

Impressive value for money. Can’t agree more with the comment on having a decent scope to improve the shooting experience. Great review.

[@nickrolfe367]

Maybe they should not include the scope and knock a tenner of the price

[@oldfartinthenight9201]

Morning all. That’s a handsome looking rifle with clean lines. Simple operation (much like myself) and plenty accurate enough (unlike myself!). I do question the wisdom of supplying poor starter scopes when there are plenty of decent budget scopes around nowadays, many reviewed by yourself Andy. I reckon suppliers would be better off dropping a few quid off the price of their rifles.

[@stephencope7178]

A user could get the impression that the accuracy is poor when supplying such basic scopes...knock off £30 from the price!!

[@jeffreybarton1297]

I like that rifle a LOT. Love the looks, and the performance speaks for itself.

[@C.F.H.-CarabinasFromHell]

5:44 Here goes a cool story.... Some years ago i used to work at a hunting, fishing, and shooting sports store and i was the responsible for the RMA\warranty and maintenance department for the airguns and airsoft. There was this time that i received an entry level springer carbine that the owner manage to fill half of the barrel with 4.5 cal pellets. Almost 20cm of lead inside the rifling and stuck in a way that was not possilbe to remove, so we replaced the barrel. There was another time that the situation was almost the same, there was less pellets but was a round file inside of the barrel that the owner tried to use to force the pellets out. This time we used a gas torch to heat the barrel, melt the lead to remove the blocking and recover the file (yes, the owner wanted it back) and see if there was a possibility that the barrel was not damage in the process. Unfortunately the rifling was damaged by the file and the barrel has to be replaced.

[@nickrolfe367]

I have a Remington Express 177, a BSA Mercury MK3 in 22 and a BAM XS B50 PCP in 22, my favorite is the Remington springer, hopefully I can one day afford this Remington. Great video thanks

[@99ron30]

Those Remington Express can be very accurate. I hired one at a range, a Remington Express XP. It was beat up with a cheap scope and cheap pellets but wow that thing could consistently hit the small HFT ring at 50 yards!.

[@nickrolfe367]

@@99ron30 Yes it is a very good rifle, I love the thing, my neighbour has one to in .22

[@simonnoble7589]

Come on Andy, it's another Snowpeak.

[@Airpang100]

PRC makes great rifles nowadays. 😊

[@boristabacsplatt6609]

Yes, until something goes wrong and you can't easily get spares. Also China has a terrible record when it comes to human rights for its work force. There are more considerations needed before buying a cheap air gun.

[@Airpang100]

@@boristabacsplatt6609 Spares have never been an issue with my SPAs. PRC isent the best country from an ethical standpoint but at least it's not Russia, the US or Israel..

[@99ron30]

China can produce Olympic quality air rifles. It's all about what the market is willing to pay. Expensive Swiss watches actually have Chinese made movements/parts. Yup, even Rolex. As for not supporting China for ethical reasons, well it's kinda impossible to not support that in some way. Just like the petrol, plastic and electronic products you buy contribute to war and exploitation.

[@boristabacsplatt6609]

At the end of the day, it's down to personal choice. I prefer to support businesses who employ British workers were possible, rather than the PRC.

[@johndivit5869]

Spot on as always Andy! That is a bargain, and would be excellent for a new-comer to our sport. Could not agree more about the scope.

[@HelgeJensen]

It looks a lot like my Snowpeak M25, except for the stock. Mine came without any scope, but with a Nikko stirling, the accuracy is sufficient to do 60M bulls-eyes. It does need a steady air-supply to stay consistent. The sound is really quiet, I can shoot it alongside the pavement, with only a hedge separation -- and people mainly notice the plink onto the pellet collector.

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Looks like a decent, practical, workhorse rifle (though I'd rather they didn't include a scope that's going straight in the bin) and though Andy said it was a little front heavy, when he held it with one hand it seemed pretty well balanced and its accuracy speaks for itself. If there's one thing that concerns me it's the aluminium bolt, because (having spent most of my life in engineering) I know that an aluminium part rubbing against steel is a bad combination that quickly turns to excessive wear. Would I buy one ? Yes, but I'd pay a lot of attention to making sure the bolt is well lubricated.

[@brendonhughes4580]

Spot on advice there mate, if metals or alloys rub then you get friction, if you get friction then you get wear, drain your oil from your car engine and your talking minutes untill totall seizure, pcps use o rings for air tight seals so a good motor cycle o ring chain lube would last an air gunner a life time and keep the moving parts tip top ( used sparingly of course)

[@gobstoppa1633]

i think thats ya best results ever, nothing wrong with that piece of kit, nice one,cheers.

[@tonyhamady498]

Bonsoir merci pour la présentation et vidéo de qualité comme toujours Je vois une M25 de chez Snowpeak en version Bois 🙏👍💯❤️

[@Airpang100]

Snowpeak Airguns are really good, excellent value for money. Of course it should have been tested as a full power version and not restricted to 12 fpe, preferably in calibre 25.

[@IanCottom]

Now this one I like, the scope well it put it in the bin and but on good vector optics 👍

[@dragoclarke9497]

Accurate and nice looking rifle at a very reasonable price point.

[@robduddridge8052]

Another great video Andy

[@badgerdomUK]

First view put me in mind of the PR900 amongst others. Not necessarily a bad thing. But that level of target accuracy for less than £400 or so - nice to see the competition hotting up in the sub £500 area.

[@redauwg911]

thank you for the video

[@brorjordas1979]

A seemingly nice, traditional looking rifle. Not bad at all for that price tag! Shot seemingly quite as well as the Barra 250Z - which also seems to be a budget rear bolt action PCP with accuracy. Don't mind the name; might just remember it better. Shot very accurate imo. Clearly, using only pellets, Andy carved out a bird-like hole into the target, along with eggs underneath. Not bad in my books.. Totally badass by Andy..👊🏻😎

[@stephendean1906]

Good morning Andy .Another brilliant review .

[@Wiltsmaleuk]

Looks like a nice simple rifle. Especially for static pest control. And what an amazing price just a £100 more than some of their excellent break barrel models.

[@Countrymouse123]

Brilliant review good value gun for a bit of pest control❤

[@tarmacdemon]

Good morning one and all. Not bad for the price impressive grouping .

[@sergentcolon1]

Maybe they called it the Mammoth because it’s huge and unwieldy 😂

Morning Andy, As ever a nice review covering all the salient points of what appears to be an excellent rifle at an extremely competitive price point , certainly a rifle that will upset the " jesus ive spent a fortune and still shoot this bad brigade ."

[@NathanEllisBodi]

Love the video, thanks. I wondered, are there any budget PCPs with solid sights to use without a scope?

[@brendonhughes4580]

Great review, could you buy a quite springer with a good trigger and finish for this type of money?

[@Aaron-us5iu]

It looks good

[@kelvinsparks4651]

Foster fitting filler port , try saying that when you've had one too many sherbet lemons 😂😂😂 . Nice looking rifle and with that accuracy it makes me wonder why I've spent close to £1000 for the one I have 😮

[@Titus9508]

Nice traditional gun, I wish companies wouldn't include virtually useless scopes though..

[@danhattersley6213]

The reason it has M25 stamped on it is because it is just an Artemis M25 lifted out of its synthetic stock and dropped into a wooden stock.

[@shockwave1410]

Does this gun have a regulator for consistent shots?

[@markdavies2959]

Great video Andy as always. Would it be possible to do a review on bipods? The cost / quality across the range is vast and I’d be interested to see your opinions. Thanks for the content and happy Christmas

[@g0r-g0r-s6o]

Great review, not sure how i feel about a saftey you have to touch the trigger to engage.

[@DriverTuition]

Morning. Nice classic looking rifle at very sensible money. I do like that - and accurate too. Trouble is, it's putting decent glass on that takes the cost up, otherwise I'd be tempted to buy. Iron sights would be nice on a PCP to keep costs down.

@@sergentcolon1think he means the prehistoric route 😂

@@LetterlessAlphabet big jump time wise between the T Rex and a Mammoth though as well as species, surely Megalosaurus would have been more apt or given its size and it’s something I get after a strong curry.😁

Is there a full power version? Or is it for Europe only? I like the look and a bolt action air rifle sounds cool… was semi interested in the barra 250z but this looks better to me so if there is a full power version I’d be interested

[@yoitired]

Someone said this is the Snowpeak m25, full power version can be bought from Krale.

[@longyx321]

Reminds me of Artemis M10/11

That stock looks identical to my logun axsor

[@Steve-Cross]

Budget rifles? Perhaps in price, but not in performance. I owned a £1700 Daystate. Granted, its quality was superb. However, I also own a budget Krall. £700 so less than half the price, that shoots just as well, with a little adjustment on the trigger.

[@c2hh571]

How does the scope make a difference?

[@Flukey_1970]

Love the Bolt, as for the name, well, I think the current generation probably doesn't associate the word mammoth with the actual animal and probably doesn't know it is an extinct animal, lol. They probably just associate it with big

Any chance of a review of the Umarex Iconix?. It must be a potential budget belter Andy?.

[@connor2dap884]

Shot count ?

[@mgnbukint6502]

No mention of a regulator, so just a modernised /slightly restyled version of the SMK / Artemis M10/M11 with a silencer and yet another SMK brand name attached ? Not knocking it as I have (and am happy with) the earlier regulated M22 version with an SMK badge, but where does this move the game along compared to earlier versions ? Are you sure the bolt is aluminium ? The M22 is stainless steel.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

It could be a opportunity selling mini trench periscopes for looking at gauges at the business end of PCP air rifles and pistols!

[@travellerman1]

[@AAROnair]

Sorry, I’ve given the gremlins a good talking to and all should be back up and running correctly now.. stay safe. Andy

[@davidcrane5984]

Just playing Devil's advocate, but it would be interesting to see how it would have performed with the "supplied scope". Just saying.

[@beckwithwoohoo]

I think I'd want to see a few years of consistency before touching a "Remmington branded" weapon again. With the Lyra K at the same price point and the far higher quality of trigger, bolt and magazines, I think there's a way to go to compete yet. We can see it functions but the bolt and magazine seemed graunchy at best. Do away with the pointless scope and drop the price and its a maybe. Id still rather pick up a PR900 for £150 less and about 1.5kg less... anyway that's my tuppence. As always thanks for the video Andy. As much as we like to judge and moan we still come back here every Friday 😂

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

[@martinlye7111]

Wish I picked this instead of regulated pretensis. For nearly double money. I get about 10 shots under a penny and 4 pellets s 3 inch off centre north south east n west. At 25 yards. Rubbish. But rannge right are checking my gun out. What a faf. Tried alsorts of pellets cos i fell for that line aswell. Feel let down at moment. Hw99 hits everything at the range any pellet, i just got sucked in 😂😂😂

[@willgarrod9907]

It’s a good proposition, but Bullpups are my thing and anything like this looks so long and ungainly.

[@Stu412t]

When you get to the range I’ve noticed that you go over a lot of what you have talked about in the first section. Not always annoying but in this video it’s very prominent.

[@h_xy09]

how on earth does someone get 32 pellets in the barrel

[@Will-ct6qz]

I did not like the way the Bolt jumped about upon discharge even tho' it appeared cycled correctly 😲 - ooh-err missus ! Maybe it was caused by blow-back 🤔 😳 ... oh you are awful but l like you !

[@pelletshoter]

I never heard about this airgun company 🤷

[@anthonyhalford9533]

My comment isn't with reference to this air rifle , but air rifles in general. I've had many air rifles in the past, mostly springers.. Please could you do a video showing an array of makes on how accurate they are if left alone for a few days with the 1st shot, as if your grabbing the gun to shoot vermin. Are all guns today accurate with the initial 1st shot, whether left for a few days or a few hours stored at room temperature. With today's technology has this phenomena gone?

[@karlj1717]

I really dislike the green and silver rings, it really spoils the aesthetics in my opinion, the rest of it looks nice though and it seems to shoot pretty well.

[@johngregory8576]

Weight, length and bland beech stock have this looking pretty outdated. At that price point, the Turkish manufacturers are doing a much better job.

[@mikepattinson3285]

Great introduction to a lovely classic style rifle. Scopes make a difference but the rifle/barrel have to be good to give accuracy. With sorted pellets accuracy may improve slightly but that was good for a .22 @ 40m.

[@willpage5556]

Who actually makes Remington air rifles? Remington was broken up in their latest and maybe final bankruptcy. Is there an independent Remington air rifle manufacturer?

[@Gw0wvl]

Looks very out if balance on the front , The air chamber and barrel look to extent way past the stock , Looks so out if proportion ..... Its needs shortening to make it look correct ... Looks like an early era musket rifle .

The stock is a bit of a marmite issue.

[@Darrensharp198]

Wouldnt touch another remington with a barge pole ansolute scrap abysmaly made and abysmal customer service.. Bought my remington sabre early 2023 from one of my local rfds sunderland air guns even spent extra on a better scope to go on top wish id never bothered... Long story short the rifles breach is far too big for a .177 but way too small for a .22 labled as a .177 though i took it back to the shop having advised them previously i was new to shooting etc wen i took it back (within 3 days of ownership) they refused to exchanged and basically told me it was totally fine and that they would infact speak to smk to advise them the most recent batch had oversized breaches... was even advised by a range marshal that this was bad customer service as pellets would fall out the rifle wen trying to cock it.. power is at 9ft lbs wen it should be full power. Being green behind the ears i did try contact smk with absolutely no luck as they necer got back to me Needless to say i changed rfds for a better one with great customer sercice ...dont touch that rifle anymore and woukdnt have another remington given
