IZH-60 or 61?

(1/6) > >>

oneied:
Im looking to get one of these for plinking and basement winter shooting.  So my question is which one do have/like and why?  I was leaning toward the 60 because of review of the pellets falling out of the magazines.  But PA has the 61 refurbished for $20 less.  So dont all chime in at once but looking for some owners to step up and give me some good decided info

Airjason:
If the pellets falling out of the magazines will be a problem, maybe get the single shot version. My 61 is an older version with the steel receiver and metal magazines. My magazines holds the pellets maybe too tight, possibly presizing them before they enter the barrel (this may be the reason for occasional flyers out of the group). The newer 61 have plastic magazines and if they hold the pellets loosely, it's another problem. Otherwise, either model are fun to shoot indoors.

madmullet:
I pikced up a 61 from PA a few months back and I cannot put the thing down.  The pellets do like to fall out of the holder but to load it with no issues just hold the gun muzzle down and slide the mag in.  I like the 5 shot version and I picked up 4 extra mags.  Only thing to watch is there is not stop when you fire the last pellet so you can dry fire the weapon.  Best to count your shots and I marked my mags with a white paint marker so I know when to stop when I see the white part sticking out of the gun.  My 61 is very easy to cock and quite.  I shoot it at least 4 nights a week indoors at 10M in to a duct seal trap.  Mine likes the R-10 7.0 pistol pellets.  Great choice on either of the two rifles.  lots of fun to be had and oh ya the silly little things are accurate.

SwampFox:
I just received a 60 and like madmullet I can't put it down.  I also had a difficult time deciding between the 60 & 61.  Don't think that you could go wrong with either.  Both have a high "fun factor" and  are very accurate.  Only run about 500 pellets but so far My 60likes CPHP the best but SuperMags are a close second.

Swampfox is it hard to load a single pellet into the breech?
