NOVA VISTA BEHEMOTH BULLPUP (OD) REGULATED .25

(For those interested in our in-house power test of this rifle, on factory power setting (how we got it out of the box), then please have a look at the video in the gallery lineup (Gallery item #2).. We managed 65 J w/ JSB .249 33.49gr KO slugs across a 10 shot string. If you really wanted to, you could hike that figure up to 68 J if you fiddle w/ the hammer spring tension)

This rifle has an overpressure relief valve, likewise fitted w/ a burst disc that will expire before any critical pressure damage can occur to your air reservoirs. We think these are two good safety backstops, necessary as well, for a 300 BAR PCP gun.

The behemoth really is an impressive piece of rifle - a REALLY beefy bullpup, quite unlike the more timid / intimidated P15 / P35 rifles, this beefy boy has all the good stuff loaded into it, all of which are externally adjustable;

Regulator (From 100 BAR ~ 200 BAR of pressure.) - You can only adjust UP when the rifle is filled up. If you try to adjust downward, you'll likely damage the regulator and/or seals attached to it) The higher your regulator pressure, the higher your consistent muzzle velocity, but the higher your air consumption / the lower your amount of regulated shots 

Externally adjustable hammer spring - This is accomplished by means of an M3 allen wrench. Rotating the screw head at the back, under the rifle action, inward, increases muzzle velocity. Rotating it the other way, decreases muzzle velocity. Just note that the manufacturer indicates that, possibly after about 500 shots, the hammer spring will break in and you will lose 50 FPS.

Easy accessable bleeder screw - Just chuck an allen wrench in and you can bleed out the entire air reservoir. Comes in handy if you nneed to tune your regulator pressure up or would just like to disassemble your rifle for repairs (maintenance) / modifications / inspection.

Integrated filling probe - Just thread off the end cap on the nose-end of the air reservoir, as shown in the gallery lineup, then you can refill your air rifle. No need to keep a filling probe lying around / losing it. If damaged, you should be able to replace it w/ a standard non-return 1/8" BSP male Q/C fitting. 

Generous 280cc air reservoir capacity - As per the illustration, you might've noticed the three air reservoirs, that is reminescent of the SUMATRA 2500. The added capacity on the .25 model of course, is to compensate for the heightened thirst that big bore rifles are known for. In this way, you can get your 60 J shots off, and still enjoy about 70 of them, before you need to top your rifle up.

Vertically adjustable buttplate - The buttplate can be adjusted tool-free up and down to suit your ergonomy, merely by pulling it out, positioning it where it would suit your shooting stance best, then releasing it into the closest locking position. The buttplate is concave, being pyramidically checkered for better shoulder traction.

Picatinny rail set on fore of stock - Here you have a triple set of Picatinny rail, two of which are perpendicular to the under-stock one. This allows you to easily mount flashlights, laser pointers and bipods w/out needing to purchase any aftermarket upgrades / attachments.

Integrated sling swivel points - If you have a two point sling w/ sling swivels, then you can attach these directly onto your rifle, w/ no modifications needed and carry your rifle as such when perhaps, going through the bush / hunting expedition. A sling to a rifle is what a holster is to a pistol.. Always remember this.

Side cocking lever - Nothing beats simplicity of chambering, and the BEHEMOTH offers this. No laggy feel on the lever when hinging it out, no overt stiff feeling as you max out its arc of motion. The rifle has a lengthy vertical bar as well, affixed to the cocking lever, which assists in ease of cocking, even if the lever is seated rearwardly in an otherwise awkward position, with respect to its distance to one's shoulder.

Integrated stock slots for 2x spare multishot magazines - This is some more tacticool added to the rifle, which speeds up reload times, keeping your magazines out of your pockets, where your keys and wallet could otherwise hinder you from quickly withdrawing a consecutive magazine.

Dedicated hybrid Picatinny / Dovetail rail - This is nifty, as you can now use a single-piece mount ring base to affix your scope to your rifle. Moreover, you have the freedom to chuck it anywhere on the rail, w/out needing to mind your pellet magazine / breech slot. Moreover, this rail allows for any of the common mount ring types available on the market, so even if you have an old set, you can (re)purpose these for this rifle.

Then lastly, of importance, will be the business of silence. Please see hereunder;

• TACTICA SILENCER ADAPTER & SHROUD FOR NOVA VISTA
  This is a part that sleeves over the barrel inside of the barrel shroud, capturing it. Furthermore, it threads onto the terminal female threading on the shroud, providing a 1/2-20" UNF male bushing at the end, for an aftermarket air rifle / .22LR silencer of your choice. Due to this part capturing the barrel, you'll also experience improved accuracy, especially out to 50 m's and beyond.

• DACHS AIR RIFLE SILENCER, .30 - 1/2X20" UNF
  This is a very good and highly recommended silencer manufactured locally, that will take the coarse nip out of your rifle's bark, for reasons such as discretion where neighbours and prey are concerned. This silencer may shift your rifle's point of impact, but won't change your muzzle velocity. In order to run a silencer on this rifle, you need to purchase aforementioned adapter, to fit your silencer onto your rifle.
