    Cometa - uping their Quality / Game - who else is - ?

    I'm so impressed with my new Fenix 400 Carbine Laminate

    I think it may be the best rifle out of the box I have bought .....

    So who else is 'on it' during these generally tricky times - ?

    Which other maker / manufacturers are smart enough to get their sales by really doing their best to 'get it right' - ?
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

    All the cheaper manufacturers have improved over the years if you look at their mid range kit.
    At the top end they're still pushing their technical limits for quality but that technical limit is way ahead of where it was 10 years ago .

    I think Cometa are on to a winner with the Fenix 400 USC at that price point,(seen a few shops selling them for £295 now ) I’m wanting the green colour laminate stock one (that big Dan had on Facebook)although I’m only seeing the grey ones available at mo which are very nice 👍🏻 I also like the look of the Orion SPR and Lynx PCP rifles. Look great quality for the price.

    Weihrauch has actually improved their products, despite the idiotic stock design the have introduced.
    The changes to the barrel blocks and stock mounts that happened around 2012 are improvements in my opinion.
    Too bad they dropped the cylinder honing on the HW35/80 they did back in the 80's.
    Too many airguns!

    I think the lifetime warranty offered by Cometa speaks volumes

    The Advance bullpup is on my radar

    Apart from the slightly modified piston seals in 2015ish (?) and the solution-looking-for-a -problem that is the HW44 (itself just a cut down HW110), have they really done anything of note in the last 10 years?
    Good deals with these members

    I tend to agree, most of the mid range air rifles have upped their quality over the years .
