I'm beginning to wonder about SG, I have submitted 2 different reviews on the DAR177, both pointing out the issues I encountered and also pointed out the virtues of the rifle. Neither have been published on their website. I think one of the reviews on the DAR22 is worse than anything I wrote, but that one shows and mine doesn't...

I sent them a review of my DAR25 and they returned a reply to me by email to send it in for a refund, I replied why would I want to start over again.

Got the return UPS labels today in my email, everything is boxed up ready to ship tomorrow, will be waiting to hear on my refund. Have been thinking about what I'll do when money is returned. Option 1 is waiting for the Fortitude to be released, option 2 is add $200 and buy the Diana Outlaw, option 3 is get the aluminum air tube and nylon hammer from JSAR and put a Huma in my Marauder, I'm leaning toward that option.

Good to read Tom! You are halfway there. Don't forget about the MMHF barrel.

The barrel would be nice Keith but I'm not unhappy with how my Marauder shoots, trying to stay close within my budget and lighten up the weight add some extra shots and lower extreme spread.

I'm not sure if this is rubbing salt in the wound or not, but... SG has all 3 caliber DAR Dynamic air rifles on sale for $224.99! With code SH2093 it dropped the price to $194.73. I know it's a &^^& shoot, but at that price I took my chances on a .25. When it arrives, before I even fill it with air, I'll probably replace the o-rings with Dura90's, inspect and tighten everything on the valve and shim the cocking lever. That's everything I have done to my .177 and it's holding air fine and shooting great!

Yea, lots of mis-information about these on the SG website. They probably should have opened a box before answering the question!!! I looked at the website for Dynamic Arms Research in Germany, they do make AR's, but they make Assault Rifles, not Air Rifles! Yea, I know, technicalities...

Great time to complete your set and get on in .22! LOL!

Paul thanks for the heads up on the sale. Just ordered a .25. Early present; Merry Christmas to me!

You are welcome! Also, for anyone who may have ordered one in the past 10 days, SG does have a best price guarantee, if it's been 10 days or less contact them and have them adjust the purchase price!

I sure hope you all have better luck with your rifles than I did, I really wanted mine to work but how long do you beat a dead horse. I may revisit this rifle in the future after all the bugs have been worked out. Dropped off my return carton at UPS this morning, will be waiting to hear from Ryan on how the refund process is going. In the meantime, I'll have to be happy with my Disco and Marauder. So many airguns, so little time...... (and money)!!!

Tom, you had a run of bad luck with you DAR, hopefully the new one I have coming will work as well as my .177 is working after new o-rings, poppet and valve spring. I fully expect I will have to replace the o-rings, but hopefully the poppet is straight and it has the correct valve spring. I have plenty of #117 Dura90 o-Rings on hand, so those will not be a problem. For all of us who did all this troubleshooting and repairs on our own guns, it would be nice if Aim Sports sent us a free magazine to compensate us for all the labor we saved them! LOL!

According to Ryan, they are already working on the Gen2 model, which is why I suspect SG is selling off their current stock at the sale price. Hopefully, it won’t be long before those are available.

Paul that's the first I've heard about Ryan saying anything about a Gen2 for these! That's fantastic news for sure, as much as I'd love to get a deal on the .22 right now I'm holding back because I've been going a little far on my spending lately. I have been broke before and I never want to be that way again. I'll be buying the NOE mold when it comes out in .22 pellet first before anything else and that might be a while yet.

It was the end of July, he said they'd be ready in about 6 months. So probably around the 1st of the year 2019.

That's neat to know Paul !!! Maybe by that time I might be in more of a position to order one in 22 caliber because I do plan on getting the .22 pellet mould when NOE has them in the store.

Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) · « **Reply #257 on:** August 23, 2018, 09:40:22 AM »

Wayne, I'm thinking the same thing, it would be kinda neat to have a complete set of these. I have plenty of .22's also, but at the current price I couldn't resist getting one in .25. I wanted the .25, but I was going to wait for the next generation. Oh well, at least I know what I'm getting into with this one. When the next generation is released I may get one in .22 to complete the set!

Paul I had fun shooting my 25 today I got two red squirrels with it.
