I’ve got one in .22.
Pellet on pellet at 30 yards , small spinners at 50 yards .
Adjustable butt a bit loose but easily sorted.
Very loud without a silencer.
Value for money .
Have a look on YouTube.
any one got one or used one?
wanting to get back into shooting after a 5 year break and they sound good on paper but cant find much info on accuracy or reliability

They look very nice, I love my np02. Just out of interest how many shots per charge do you get out of yours? I've seen a few conflicting stats for shot count on these.
I’ll let you know on here after I’ve been out tomorrow.
It’s currently sitting in the gun cupboard after being zeroed between showers .
That was two weeks ago .
Only managed to use two magazines that day.
I’m expecting about 90 decent shots at 11.5 ft/lbs
At least it’s held the air !
they look decent
Well , it’s looking like 8 decent mags before the poi shift is noticeable .
So that’s 96 shots .
They reckon 90 full power so that’s going to be about right .
Cocking lever is nice and smooth, no issues with the magazines .
Pity I couldn’t hit the squirrel that popped up 5 yards in front of me !
I was having a walk around and wasn’t ready when it popped up and stared at me .
It scampered up the nearest tree about 25 yards away to let me have a shot at it .
I gently took up stage one , crosshairs on its head , and just as I squeezed the second stage it ducked !
How does it compare with your old np02 Alan? I get the impression the np03 is better set up for UK power. The np02 gulped a lot of air with restricted transfer post and tractor hammer spring.
It seems a lot smoother than the NP02.
Accuracy is pellet on pellet at 30 yards .
It’s more military style than the NP02 but it just seems to fit better .
The stock adjusts to change the length of pull so it can be quite short or reasonable carbine length .
The stock is a little loose but easily sorted when the right position is determined.
To be honest at the price there’s not much to complain about .
These caught my eye when I started looking at how air rifles had changed since I last looked many moons ago.
Have to say I'm tempted!
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
I've got a .22 np-02 and a .177 puncher breaker. I think the np-02 is a nicer gun to fire.
