very good review. it really is not an unfair price just because i cant afford it. Take a look at the FX rifles from Sweden which are really expensive that come with plastic magazines and have many issues.

It's twice the price of an Air Venturi Avenge X, but it does have a L.Walther barrel. The 2.0 version has a more common pellet magazine. Cheek piece needs to be rounded. I'd probably buy the Avenge X, and buy a nice optic with the money saved.

Hello Richard. Always love to watch your videos !! At 8:40 you´r right.....I don´t like the grip and the front end ...it looks cheap !!! The trigger guard is ugly as well !!! If metal is able to talk ...it would say ; I don´t wanna be here ! ;) Thanks for sharing !!

Great review. Not to sure on the gun, You could sell any air rifle with reviews like that . but for that price I think the more well known brands would shine through. But was impressed with the accuracy. Over all it looked a nice little air rifle. 👍🏻

Great review Richard,I’ve missed you🤣🤣Seriously though not a bad looking bullpup,but think it would have been around the £500-600 mark.Especially when you could get an Hw100 or an s510 cheaper. Thanks again and Atb fella.👍🏻😀

When you consider the price of a zobroia kozak mk2, the better placement of the lever, and the price difference in favour of the kozak ,by around £350/£400 ( if you get a good deal on one) I'd buy the zobroia.

Its obviously totally right handed , ( doesn't appear the cocking lever can be swapped over ) matters not that the stock is ambidextrous if you have a cocking lever sticking in your face , let alone having to come off target to cycle the rifle , and that " cheek piece " , well , that look awful , then theres the magazine , firsr of all I thought " very nice , looks just like the Air macks mag , and it duz at first glance , but thats where the similarity ends , in ALL my born days , ive NEVER Seen a mag that needs so much faffing around with its diabolical ... so although it works well , its accurate , and descent looking ( subjective ) .. its not for me ... tremendous review though

@aboutthemetal8783 2 жыл бұрын

Nice enough little bull pup, but it's old in its design ,that lever all the way back there,instead of a little more forward like the wildcat and the Brocock xr rifles. I think it's asking a little to much, if it was around £650/99, then maybe I'd try one,but not at that price.

@three-phase562 2 жыл бұрын

Well its not a bad looking rifle and certainly has the accuracy. Switching that safety on and off looked awkward, especially to put it on, which may lead to poor use of it in my opinion. Seems like the magazine could do with a bit more thought as well. Very informative review and nice shooting though.

@aboutthemetal8783 2 жыл бұрын

I hate it when the trigger guard is only held on by one screw ,and it has an open side that doesn't even touch the stock, it's the only thing that bothers me about the zobroia kozak.

@johndivit5869 2 жыл бұрын

Great review Richard. However, at a grand, nobody is going to love this rifle! It might get away at £375 but otherwise it is punching too far above its weight. Just looks too rough. The woodwork looks like it is from the 70's, and that awful safety catch is just a joke. The cheekpiece looks like lego! Can't see anyone rushing to buy this !
