IIRC theyve been available in Europe for a while2 reasons Ive not already ordered one (and have wanted one since I heard about them) ... Its a gas ram... the ram will eventaully fail, and not real assured I could source a replacement, and the LoP is not adjustable.Not sure how hard it would be to swap a spring for the ram, but the non-adjustable buttstock is a deal breaker. OTOH after some get into folks' hand and we get some real world feed back, I may change my mind...
Thanx Tom.... sounds easy enough to replace the ram with a spring. Yea it can fail, but Ive had better luck finding springs than replacement rams....now what can be done about the buttstock.... first glance I thought maybe you could cut the buttstock off and slide a AR buffer tube over the stub, and secure it, then use a common AR buttstock.looking deeper that part seems bigger around than I first thought.
I have been intrigued by this rifle ever since I first read about it.My problem is I know absolutely Nothing about Norica air rifles.I have this one in the cart at PA for 399.99 & free shipping.I have never spent this much money on an air rifle before, ever.The total expenditure for all my rifles comes to $577.I'm retired and this would be a big purchase for me.I know that this rifle just hit the market and there is very little first hand information on it.I need to get some input on Norica air rifles in general from Norica owners.Best Wishes - Tom
"The 1 Norica was purchased from a fellow GTA member and I gladly went over $100 to $80 for it since it has a much better trigger and a nicer stock."
Tom Gaylord just started a review on one. Looks like a 12 ft lb gun. May be better in .177 if it can deliver with accuracy.
Time to check Youtube and all the comments for the video's ?https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=norica+omnia+grs
Mikey,The prices you quote for your Noricas (and Chinese guns, and Hatsans, and... I digress) are simply incomprehensible around here (Old World). The only time anything ends up even close to them is when a retailer clears out some brand altogether (it happens maybe once every several years), and usually not even then. Around 100 e is the absolute bottom price on any but the cheapest Chinese filth. Entry-level Noricas fetch around 130 - 150 e and up. Kinda puts a lid on wildly experimenting on different brands and models. But I'm happy you have it good!
