Why No Umarex Octale Elite For Sale??

[Ronno6]

I have been watching ebay for some time for Umarex Octane Elite rifles, and they just don't seem to exist.........
NONE on the current auctions, and only ONE sold back in January with ridiculous shipping.

Is there something inherently wrong with this gun?
I have one that I purchased from Umarex a while back as a replacement for n original Octane that they
didn't have replacement air springs for.... (I converted it to coil...)

I would like to sell it.......it's new int he box.......but don't want to sell to a noob if there's shortcomings with the critter.....

My experience with Umarex guns was not good. I believe that I gave you at least three, two of which the gas ram had failed in.  I wonder how many Octane Elites were sold and how many are still shooting.  I know there are a couple of people on the forum who have the Octane Elite maybe they will chime in.

I have no idea why they are not for sale. Not the best gun ever but not the worst i have been through the heavy trigger exercise and got that right. There is nothing I can do about the weight of the gun. I took the umarex scope off to reduce the weight by about a half kg  it is now an open sight gun and not too bad that way . I must comment about the scope.  It is quite heavy so I guess solid. It has stood up to the wang of a discharge for many many pellets   not broken yet  . The discharge is quite a recoil as I would expect from a 22 to 25 ft lb rifle . It is not the objectionable wang that I have experienced with a couple of Hatsans .The stop shox mechanism,  simple as it is really works but not as good as the Diana 54. Both the D54 and the UX are hard to cock
I get it out every now and then for a fun shoot . Accuracy is acceptable but I always wonder how much the power affects my shooting technique. The weight of the rifle certainly unduces fatique for off hand shooting.
I am going to keep it.
