Cometa or Norica, Which would you buy

[LUC.V]

Hello.
I am planning to buy a new air rifle.
The choice is between the Cometa fusion premier and the Norica marvic 2.0
So guy's, which one would you choose and why???
Grtj Luc,

I like both but I like the styling of the Marvic 2.0 a little more... I'd save up to get one but I don't know of any dealers that import and sell them...

I like the looks of both also. What I am wonder is a AR 1000 / TF 89 a knock off of the Marvic or is the Marvic a Norica that was made in China. Not knocking the Marvic, it's a beauty and IMO the AR 1000 / TF 89 Platform is a nice and very powerful platform. The Norica stock is a hands down winner in the looks department however.

I think the Cometa would be a bit more refined, judging from everything I have read on the Fusion.  I just picked up a Storm, which I think is the same power plant as the Norica you are contemplating.  It's a nice shooting gun with good fit and finish but I'm not so sure it's in the same class as the Fusion.  Even owning several Norica's and liking the brand, that Fusion is hard to beat for the money.

BTW, and once, again, the Norica is the original, not the Chinese copies.  Aside from B-3's, some TF's and a couple of others, practically NONE of the Chinese guns are originals.

Yep.. ^^^ I've read a few times that the TF 89 is actually a copy of the Norica Storm...
