The Nova Vista PCP1000 is the Perfect little bush-beater rifle; Ideal for whacking mongoose, monkey, guinea fowl, or even to open up on any sort of threat to your family or property. This rifle is excessively loud, as it does pack an unusually big punch. Is it as nice as the PR900W was? We would say that this rifle comes w/ no chambering problems out the box, readily accepts any .22 calibre pellet that will fit in its magazine / single loader tray and discharges it without problem.
The side lever action operates quick and permits for rapid follow-up shots. The 10-shot magazine capacity will certainly come in handy for that purpose, though be sure to obtain some extra magazines that you can keep in your pocket.
One fill should offer you 20x useful shots.
The short length of this rifle and its fly weight, also its low-price tag, makes it such a lovely grab-n-go rifle.
Being an unregulated rifle, you do get your most powerful shots when shooting with a full air reservoir - With 18.13 gr pellets, you can readily plonk straight through sheet steel with ease at fifteen meters. By the middle of your second magazine, this boy will still punch a hefty blow into the steel and rupture it open, but the penetration won't be perfect.
This rifle will yield you ± 20 shots per fill from 200 down to 100 BARS. Please always take the precaution to leave at least 100 ~ 190 BAR in the rifle for ingress protection for the air reservoir and to keep your seals pressed into their sleeves.
Otherwise, this is the perfect rabbit / mongoose gun, should even be able to smoke a fox with 45 J of muzzle energy with a good shot placement.
We do recommend 18.13 gr VELOCITY VECTOR pellets with this rifle, but if you want to give the JSB KNOCKOUT slugs a try, then by all means - this rifle has the power to reliably lob these.
