I have just seen a Umarex Octane air rifle. The action was was wobbly, very lose in the stock. The salesman said they are all like thst but he realy did not know much about them.
Would someome or everyone give me an opinion on the rifle. All I have found so far is that the have some sort of recoil redution device.

I think that is just what a salesman would say to make a sale. It could be the screws had come loose on it or were not tightened at the factory. Still that does not inspire confidence in that gun or the QC/QA. I don't know anything about the Octane, but someone might in the Chinese gate for springers.

Chinese gun with a 6 lb trigger pull that feels like a nail dragged across concrete. Research reviews on Umarex customer service, not good.
