KRAL air rifles - any good?

[adez]

Hi.
I was thinking of getting a new air rifle on a budget and see that KRAL have a few to offer.
The No.1 Walnut looks a nice rifle and good value.
Before I decide to buy - has anyone got a Kral rifle?
Are they any good? Do they have a good reputation?
Any opinions or experience with them would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I had a bad do with a new np03 when they first came out it was back and forth being repaired it spent more time away than it did with me But there is loads of lads who love there ones they are a allot of gun for the money they might have ironed out the problems that i had

I’ve had both a NP02 and a NP03 with no issues whatsoever.
Both were unregulated but still delivered a decent shot count .
The Turkish walnut is really nice.
Yes , they are budget , entry level PCPs but they perform as well as others that are three times the price.

I have a Webley En4cer. I hate the name with a passion, but in every other way it is a brilliant gun and exactly the same as a Kral Puncher Jumbo. I bought it for my pest control work when I couldn't justify buying a £1000 gun. Having owned it for a couple of years now, I find it handles and shoots just as well as my rapid and used it as my NV gun up until recently replacing it with a much lighter FX Dreamline Tactical GTI with racing stripes. Trigger is average, but not bad enough for me to want to tinker with. Shot count is massive and accuracy/consistency is surprisingly good straight out of the box.

Do they need much fettling out the box Neil?

I’ve heard and read so many horror stories with earlier barrels and crowning issues.

Chap at the club few years back had a NP something or other and grouped like a shotgun so got rid pronto.

As far as I’m aware some might need a damn good barrel clean and recrown but I’m sure I also heard Kral later addressed earlier issues with better later barrels but I really don’t know never owned one so wouldn’t like to speculate.

The one with the rear buddy bottle and left hand cocking (think it was pistol derived) looks interesting think I was going to get one and rob it for parts for a Frankenstein build
