I got one recently and put a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 BDC with a PEPR mount. This is crazy accurate. Laughably so. It was pulling off consistent shots (popping shotgun wads at 60 yards to simulate rabbit heads) that my 10/22 couldn't do. I love my 10/22 and is still my go-to all purpose small cal rifle, but for hunting the R1 took its spot easily. Thanks for the mileage review. Have been concerned about that.

Dump it. Very few reviewers ever point out that the Hammerli resembles an AR-15 on the outside, but it ends there. Lift the hood and you find the guts of this rifle are pot metal, in keeping with its Walther/Umarex heritage. And you need tools and a lot of patience to take it down for cleaning. Get a Tippmann M4 22. The receivers are machined aluminum throughout. So is the front handguard. Function and takedown are identical to an AR-15. Yes, the slide lock on the side of the upper actually works. You can strip it completely down for cleaning in seconds. And reassemble just as quickly. And many parts are compatible with an AR-15.

Thank you bro thinking about picking one up

I hear the biggest complaint about the rifle is the trigger. I’m looking at it for a good plinker and maybe some 300 yard range time.

I have done a lot of gunsmithing over the years. You did not say what you did with the trigger. Did you replace a spring, trim it, or polish a sear? My new rifle is coming today. I will surely dive into that.

Good day , I have the same tool so to speak and would be so curious how to lighten the pull weight, please help cause other than that one issue I’m an avid lover of this specimen

I had mines foe a year about 2000 rounds in it with out no jams

Ya. I changed the flash hider to a more expensive one, just to be tacticool. I also spent money on mag pull sights because the ones they came with were GARBAGE! So after 24 more hours of thinking…. My dumbass has spent more money on the .22 accessories then the Ham itself. Sooo… I proceeded to get a Magpul stock and pistol grip. Now the pistol grip and stock are not necessarily compatible with Hammerli but with careful drilling and dremal work it has made it a fun rifle. Why did I go through this process and work? Because it’s a hobby that I enjoy and if anything I have a cool .22 now😂

just got mine I've read online that you should not dry fire rim fire firearms as it will damage it but how will I clear the gun then? What has your experience been so far dry firing this gun if you do?

Good stuff

How do you like the site ? I’m between the rs30 & the rs28/29

Perfect explanation, thank you

Where did you get the hand guard

Its hard.for to trust Umarex and get one of these. Lately I've been having issues with them on the airgun side.

I bought one of these through Simmons Sporting Goods in Louisiana. Ran 120 rounds through it and the extractor fell out. I have been trying to contact anyone about this gun. Simmons is worthless and I recommend that you stay away from them. So far I havent heard anything from the manufacturer/distributor here. It looked to be a good gun but it turned out to be a POS for me. If I get any response from the emails I sent I will be sure and update. For now, buyer beware.

Unfortunately, in my experience, Umarex makes very bad products, from co2 guns to 22 lr rifles, they are very low quaility, extremely complicated and dont last.
