    Hi Max,

    I love the Umarex M4 - top performance from a top looker. A generation ahead of the Gamos and Jackals I grew up with.

    I've pictured one in my regular Airgun World column, in the March issue.

    Kind regards,

    John

    Umarex and Jackals - a generation ahead John?.... Both springers in polymer stocks, different looks maybe - but hardly a generation apart unless a picatinny rail is a quantum leap forward

    BTW I've also owned Crosman's MTR77 with a gas ram and that was a step backwards despite the gas ram technology...

    Way ahead IMHO Harvey,

    The Umarex is far more realistic, less spring resonance and vibration through the stock upon firing, a far better trigger, better quality open sights and rails to mount a plethora of accessories on.

    I also think the MTR77 is a lot more realistic and accurate too, although the trigger leaves a lot to be desired!

    And I like Jackals

    Kind regards,

    John
