That's the next best thing to GIVING them away!!

Thanks for the post...definitely interested, but can anyone chime in who owns one? Reviews are all over the place about accuracy, but like all reviews I never know what to believe. I'd likely replace my Beeman Kodiak X2 with this, and I k ow it is accurate. Id hate to go backwards on accuracy, but would like a NP and something that doesn't sound like a small shotgun when firing.

Nice I just bought one to replace my broken nitro trail.
Beats buying a new piston and replacing it for a few dollars more I think it's worth it.

I have one in .22 and the old NP2 in .177, which I'm pretty sure is the same thing, they just changed rebranded them as NPE when the Star Wars shroud came out and they started calling those NP2. Also I think the old NP2 were made in the USA and the NPEs are made in China.
They are both plenty accurate and powerful for pesting and hunting, but they are hold-sensitive and neither likes a classic artillery hold. They both like the reverse mullet: tight (business) in the back, and loose (party) in the front. The .22 is extremely sensitive to placement of the front hand, which caused me A LOT of grief before I finally figured it out. The .177 is less sensitive and was my main shooter for a couple of years. I've put at least 5,000 pellets through it, maybe closer to 10,000, and it's still going strong. I did get one of the last ones they made in the USA though, which may have something to do with it.
