Cometa Lynx

[be4meliz]

Has anyone seen anymore info on the lynx? Release date,etc. From what little info I've gotten sounds like a great rifle(bottle gun,hammer-forged barrel, quick -change for different cal., match trigger, multi-shot, and quiet.) they keep putting off the release date but have sent several to dealers for testing(pomona)

[daveshoot]

They will be at the SHOT show next week, and you will probably see new information by Tuesday. I am watching too! But it looks like Crosman is going to compete again for my hard-earned AG dollars... must get lotto ticket....

This rifle is going to mark my switch to the dark side. I'm not going to junk my springers, but I expect it will be quite a nice rifle. I'm trying to get an inside track on sales with a good pre-order. PM me with interest!

[AirScopes]

I've pre-ordered 10 of these. If you'd like to get on the list to be one of the first with a Lynx, PM me!

If it shoots straight I'll be interested. Dont' really care for the look of the ambi stock.

Also at $ 650 your near AA 410/510 range...A proven rifle.

Hammer Forged Barrel ? This will be interesting.

Appears shroud "does not" screw up against receiver. This could be good.

[AirScopes]

I believe the hammer forged barrels are a trademark of Cometa. I have and shot a fusion before I started selling them, and really like other products I sell -- I sell them because I like them. The fusion is my best rifle, and I have some 20 springers and got rid of another 10 (RWS 48, RWS 350, among them). I have faith that the delay in shipping the Cometa Lynx was so they would get it right.

I think the stock is designed with the Cometa vision in mind. The ones I have seen have beautiful walnut of the highest degree. It is a lot like BSA models, Evanix, Falcon... those PCPs with a bottle. I think they are also taking all they can from exisiting guns. A super-looking thing, I think, that I can hand off to both my left-handed friends, and the ones with a psychological need for symmetry.

You sound a little down on it Patton...Sorry that you are. Very hard to draw a conclusion without shooting one. it promises a lot, but it is a Cometa... I love their guns and they have been making small arms in the town in Spain since the 16th century... Tradition mixed with modern technology... my guess is it is a winner.

[detox]

I like this gun. Roughly how much will this gun cost me?

[AirScopes]

the estimate is $650... but I'm not sure yet. That is why I am not taking deposits first ;-)

I will do my best to get them earliest and at the lowest price.

[Jay]

I know it is a tad early to ask Richard, but do you have an idea on the price of extra barrel's?

[patton1]

No, I'm not against it. Will just have to wait and see about the reviews.

[AirScopes]

Jay,

There hasn't been much released from the company about pricing beyond the targeted price point. I think even the final price on the gun is a little up in the air.

Would you know if they will be offering the adjustable comb like they do for the star series of the fusions?

[AirScopes]

I don't know of plans for an adjustable comb at this point, but there are 4 or 5 springers that have them -- walnut and beech versions of the fenix and fusion. From what I know right now the stock will have some options: beech, walnut, natural and blue-oil
