Umarex NOTOS - REVIEW! 22 CAL BUDGET PCP AIRGUN

The Umarex Notos is one Iv been excitedly waiting to get my hands on. Now it’s here! This is my complete review of the new 22 cal pcp airgun from Umarex. Spoiler alert! … I love it!
@UmarexAir

[@georgeloveless4176]

I really enjoy the smaller, lighter, more compact style guns, and this gun obviously is all that. The only downer with this is the lower shot count, but its definitely not a deal breaker for me. Thanks Ben, this was very well done and I enjoyed watching.

[@ShootingGearReviews]

Stoked you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. 👍

[@cpuminerz]

This is a great gun for pests around the house. Light and manageable, perfect for my 8yr old son who is a beginner. -this is good review, lots of shooting, quick overview. This guy holding his breath for so long, then heart rate is up trying to catch breath. To each each their own.

[@airgunfun4248]

Definitely cool looking! And the price is great. Direct competition for the the hatsan jet. Cool budget plinker and a great review as always

[@edwinlemeilleur]

In addition to accuracy testing in your reviews, a plinking part would also be nice since shooting only at paper looks boring. Airgun detectives has mutiple segments as he calls them in his reviews.

Looks pretty nice, but is another snowpeak pp750 in a new jacket, they are great little airguns.

[@stevengoodman3498]

Hey Ben cool video of this small backpack style gun. I heard there is a second version of the gun but it looks the same. Does it have a slightly bigger air cylinder? Pretty nice gun for what you pay. Right on Ben!

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

A .177 version of this little carbine would be great to get more velocity or shots for plinkers!

[@cpuminerz]

Exactly!!👍🏻

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Wow, I’m very surprised by your groupings for this gun. Most other videos show very tight groupings even at 50 yds. Perhaps you should try different pellets. Some say it likes light weight pellets. Just my 2 cents.

I finally got mine after 8 months of waiting. I'm getting less than 1 inch groups at 40 yards with 15 gr JSB.

ebay is your friend. but you will need to know if thats Mil-spec or Commerical buffer tube size. Keep in mind though that the folder mech will add 1.5 - 2 inches to the length of the gun

Honest review. I think this is better- easier to modify then the Hatsan Jet, at a better starting price point, regulated and moderated. One question, what are the adjustable lengths? I’ve looked on Umerax site and others. Can’t find that info. I’d guess 29-33 inches 🤷‍♂️

I bought mine as a truck gun for close range hunting out to 40-50 yards and im definitely getting way tighter groups than you using FX atomics

[@surreallife777]

I’m going to purchase the Artemis PP 750. I have read that some owners have gotten up to 33 or more FPE and I think around 800 FPS. Have you done any videos showing how in which modifications you should do to achieve this level of performance?

[@short-hand4312]

very nice presentation. this little rifle looks like a winner. carrying this rifle in drizzling rain in a prickly pear patch looking for rabbits would be awesome. I would take a small pony bottle with me for refills. my average shot at rabbits like this is 3-5 yds. I love hunting south of Tucson in the Sonoita area.

[@markfannin3975]

Great review. Appreicate the effort to put together this quality video. Best to you.

Seen a few other channels and they could hit a bullseye at 100 yards with a 14.6 grain pellet. Also a couple of them used it for small game hunting, pest control so on. Just ordered one for pest control. Can't use my AR 15 here for that.

[@theobserver9565]

Looking for recommendations on optics for the Notos. It would be for pesting within 40 yards with most shots around 20 yards. I'm thinking a prism scope (not sure on magnification) because I have an astigmatism.

[@TheDollarSportsman]

Nice video, man :); I’m looking forward to getting my hands on one of these and maybe plinking some of the collared doves around my house 😆

Just watch your bit. Just got the Notos. Awesome

[@theobserver9565]

Mine has quite a bit of creep on second stage of trigger. Could you explain how to minimize that by adjusting the trigger? The trigger has 3 adjusting screws as far as I know. One you can adjust on the outside the other two you have to remove the side plate on the handle to get to them.

[@chrisreilly4006]

I notice you pulled quite a few of those shots to the right. I wouldn’t use this past 25 yards. It seems decent though. Maybe some pellets lighter then the superdomes would be better for the gun.

[@ShootingGearReviews]

I was, especially when I was trying to use my left hand on the trigger during the chrony testing at 25.

[@iPodHelpTube]

In my experience it's putting down sub inch groups at 40 with little wind. Running 15.89 JSB hades, and with Gamo 15.4gr. Awesome fun little pester / plinker. Shoots 22 grain fx hybrids well too.

Wow, the groups... Is the fake suppressor or stock removable?? I've been looking for a back woods plinker that my son and I could have some fun with. Lots of pros and cons to so many guns. So far, this looks like the ideal all around to me. If it breaks down enough to fit in a backpack its a winner. Thanks for the vid.

[@ShootingGearReviews]

the stock comes off easily. the suppressor doesn’t.

[@crashbash5554]

Which one of these ... umarex Notos or the Gamo urban?? Which would you choose and why?

[@ShootingGearReviews]

Umarex Notos. For sure. Now to explain the “why”. The Urban is definitely a great gun, but I feel the Notos is easier to use. For me, neither gun would be something I would consider using in a competitive shooting situation. Both of these guns would be for plinking/light pesting. So with that use in mind, the Notos is the better of the two because it is easier to wield as a pesting gun, being lighter and smaller, and I like it’s form factor better for plinking as well.

[@crashbash5554]

@@ShootingGearReviews I really appreciate your feedback! Plinking and varmint lights outs is all I'm looking at. mostly checking traps, and protecting garden produce.. the UM Gauntlet in .25 & .30 gets a bit heavy after awhile. Lol thank again for the feedback

Hey Ben, love your content… I trust your reviews whole heartedly and that’s why I’m going to ask for your help on an issue I’m having… I purchased a Walther reign in 25 cal because I LOVE the over all look and feel of this rifle. My problem with this pcp is that it not regulated so my shot string goes from 29foot pounds up to 49foot pounds for about 10 usable shots then takes a dive. I would love to see what you would suggest. BTW, Thank you for doing the comparison of the Gamo Arrow vs the urban for me. Now I own both of those

[@ShootingGearReviews]

I have not used the Reign. But maybe try adjusting the hammer spring… sorry I can’t help more bro.

[@jameshagerman7681]

21 shots per fill at 14ish ftlbs? Sounds like a great 30 yard squirrel gun, top it off with scope like Tasco 4X32 AO Airgun scope which is nicely compact and all you'd need for the type of hunting this gun would be great for

[@abelmaldonado6643]

It would be nice to get mine but it's been on f-ing back order forever don't know why nobody has them

[@supergreatairgunreviews]

I was thinking about getting one but noticed they kept pushing back the in stock date so just ordered a barra 1100z on sale instead. I kind of wanted the pistol version anyways which I guess they decided not to make?

[@OH8STN]

It has sort of an AEA HP Carbine look to it. What about a regulator and power up kit for it? Any ideas?

[@ShootingGearReviews]

It’s regulated at 1900 psi from the factory. I’m sure someone will try doing something silly like adding a bigger bottle, and a longer barrel… then they’ll probably think they need to add a big old plentum and do something to make the hammer strike harder. As you can see it’s pretty much just a snowball effect. So why not keep the gun the way it is which is great and if you want a harder hitting, farther shooting gun just get that one instead.

AEA HP Carbine, SS or HP Max perhaps.

I like the AEA. but they are more $ I also think this is more quiet. the stock is pretty easy to remove and it can be used a a pistol without the stock attached. I’d say the Notos is just about the best backpack pcp you can get for the price.

@@Juss-Saiyan At first it would always cycle fine with the JSBs which is what AEA recommends. But then after several thousand rounds the mags we’re getting worn out and the springs are not advancing quite fast enough. It wouldn’t be a problem you’d experience every time but it was definitely a problem and for me was a reliability issue. Again it shot great out of the box.
