I ordered a Norica .25 caliber several months ago and for $109 shipped it is truly a diamond in the rough. It's very smooth for a springer and the trigger is fairly good. I have no regrets in the purchase of this gun. The fit and finish was excellent.
Thank you for the write up, Dan. I have been wondering if I should try an air rifle from another country of origin. I currently have Crosman and Hatsans and prefer the Hatsans. The Norica came to mind as the next gun I was going to try in my attempt to find a little better quality without spending several hundred dollars. It looks like the search will continue.
