Any US importers carrying this gun?

Dillon -I really haven't found a thing wrong with this rifle except the heavy trigger, which will get sorted out!. For a comparison i paid $ 500.00 for my M16 & $600.00 for my P15 from mrodair.This gun was $299.00 & Literally blows them away. I just put 40 more rounds through mine with JSB 15s, which i save for my wildcat & the accuracy is blowing me away. At 20 yards it just keeps stacking them in a nice 1/4 in hole!! Now i know most everyone shoots at longer ranges but if it's this good at 20yds doesn't that translate  to being accurate at longer range?

Great to know accuracy is good. I plan on going out to the farm on my day off sighting the gun in and shooting some groups at 25,50,75,100yds. I’d also like to get in a hunt but I dunno if time will allow it. Will post pictures to the thread of my groups.

Hope your wood version shoots as good as my synthetic. Just shot some AA 16gr & 18gr jsbs and they grouped great. One thing i forgot to mention is the high/low switch does not have detents and the manual states not to shoot the gun in the middle position. So what would happen if it's shoot in the middle? I also like the safety is shaped like a pellet. Nice touch.

Pat,

I had the Nova Freedom in .177 for awhile and loved it. Great accuracy, nice smooth side lever, perfect levels of power at 12fpe for low and 19fpe for high. I honestly really liked the trigger, alittle heavier than others but very crisp. Shot it mainly open sights and loved it. Just didn't want to pump anymore. I've been waiting and hoping for the PCP versions to come out and now there here. I'm sure I'll jump on one eventually.

[pat585]

Dillon- I read your earlier post on the nova freedom. With a 2 stage adj. trigger i was hoping i could get it down to at least 1lb.The best i could do is 3lb 13oz. It is a nice crisp trigger but when my brain says to fire i don't want to then have to keep  squeezing the trigger! I have some benchrest rifles with 2oz triggers so i guess i got spoiled

[Dairyboy]

Pat,

I can see that being an issue lol. I'm more of a hunter and anything between 1.5-3lbs works for me. As long as it's crisp. Scoped in the 1.5lb range if open sights I like the 3lbs. But totally different situation than yours! I'm sure a spring can be changed out to a lighter one on the trigger.

[pat585]

Yea i agree. But as i said earlier i took every screw out including the frt. swivel stud and the action won't budge! I just sent another e-mail to american tactical as jennifer said she would look into it. By the way while i was on the site i clicked on the rifle column just to see what they carry. They have nova vista rifles in .22,22mag, with a side lever toggle action! Pretty cool.

[Dairyboy]

Maybe I'll need to get one and play with it! 

[pat585]

Just a quick update! American Tactical is not too good at replying to e-mails so it's better if you just call. I just talked to jennifer about removing the action  on the Liberty & she said she had one on her desk & will get back to me as soon as  they get it figured out. Every rifle i've ever owned has always come apart with just a couple of screws on the bottom. I am curious to see to see the reason behind this design.

I have a synthetic .177 coming today or tomorrow so if they don't find out I will

[pat585]

Thank's Dillon- That would be great. Hope its a shooter. Just got back from the dentist. I have a partial & was thinking about getting implants! At $5000.00 dollars for each implant I now have to choose between the implants or more air guns. Easy choice right!! Either way the only thing hurting will be my wallet.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/Smileys/default/cry.gif

Ok guys so I had a chance to shoot the Liberty in .22 today at some extended ranges. I was very pleased with rifle it performed excellent. I started off with the Jsb 18.13gr and then switched up to H&N baracuda hunters. The baracuda hunters actually did better than the jsb’s at 30yds. I found that the barcuda’s acfually fit a little tighter in the chamber than the jsb’s so maybe they were engaging the rifling better? Anyhow I decided to shoot a group at 50yds with the baracuda hunters and they were still about the size of a nickel at 50yds. I believe my groups would have been better had I been shooting of a nice rest. Only thing I was able to shoot consistently off of was my balled up hunting pack so I’m sure the rifle has more in it. I wasn’t able to bring my chrony out today but I felt like the gun was not on high power. Could be just me but it was really quiet compared to my other pcp. After hearing ppl say it wasnt back yard friendly I’d have to disagree in my experience.

I can’t wait for someone to get there hands on one of these that know what they are doing. If I didn’t have to pay $600 to get a new key fob for my car I’d buy another one in synthetic. This is my experience with the gun. Here is the group at 30yds with the jsb’s. I pulled one shot so I shot another it was not the gun it was me and my rest. Enjoy

[Dairyboy]

Excellent! I can't wait to get mine

[Fwawa20]

I think you’ll enjoy it. Mine is a shooter but I need a little more time with it. I havent cleaned the barrel or anything so she’s straight out the box driving racks. Def confused about the power lvl. Bc I think it may be too quiet but maybe not. I’ll check with the chrony next time bc Airhunters said ge got an average of 890 with 18.13 Jsb’s during his review. Maybe he up his regulator pressure? Doesn’t seem to be pellet fussy at the moment and I’m glad bc I’d like to shoot some hollow points if they shoot just as well as the jsb’s at those medium ranges.

 A nickle @ 50 just chillin aint bad accuracy at all
 I shot mine @ a HFT match, on low, other members that shot 1200 and up rifles were impressed .

So is this rifle still sitting around 907 FPS with the 14.3 pellets? I was hoping for a bit more power so that I can use heavier pellets to max out my FPE.

I'm hovering between this and the Flash. Any comparisons?

[pat585]

Nice shooting!! I think it will get even better with a good cleaning. My .22 liberty took me about 20 patches. I understand they have to use a preservative in the barrel but boy that stuff really sticks. I am noise sensitive but this gun  doesn't seem to bother me. It's sort of a quick snap. I was going to get a donny adaptor for a moderator but so far i have not felt the need. How's the pull weight on your trigger? Enjoy your new gun.

My trigger is a little heavy I’m going to try to adjust it. It breaks really nice but is about 3 1/2 pounds. If I could get it to 2 or below I would be really pleased.

[pat585]

Same as mine. The spec sheet says .05-4lbs adjustment range but i must be missing something because i can't get mine below 3 1/2 lbs. I guessing we are going to have to replace some springs?

Ihaven’t tried adjusting the trigger yet. Honestly haven’t read the manual at all. Time has not been very abundant resource for me since I just got married and switched jobs. I will hopefully have time this weekend to really dive in but I definitely won’t count it. I’ll let you know if I figure it out once I break it down.
