Is this 'Piston Combo' rifle a true "gas piston" as their next level rifle with higher cost???-

I believe it is,does'nt sound like a spring when you cock it and it is advertised as a piston and not a spring

It's not a gas rifle, it's on air rifle, but is powerful, best air rifle so far. I am pleased with it.

There are both models available. Mine is the cheaper version, springer powered, but very smooth. I am nor sure you need the gas piston in the black ops, very smooth as is.

I would say yes to all 3 questions. When I first got the gun it was pretty loud. For one thing, the pellets that came with it were high speed and broke the sound barrier; so there was a pretty loud crack comparable to a 22 long. After it breaks in at about 100 rounds it quiets considerably, and a subsonic pellet will get rid of the crack, and will be a lot more accurate. When a tiny round like a .177 goes supersonic it gets bounced around by the shock wave pretty good. The only downside I can think of on this rifle is it's a tad on the heavy side when compared to others in it's class and price range. I actually like that because I think a little mass makes the gun more accurate and reduces the recoil. Believe it or not, these high powered pellet guns actually do have a pretty noticeable kick. As far as quietness goes after it's broken in, I'd say it's about like the sound a tablespoon would make when dropped on a wooden table from about 12 inches.

Piston has gas and can be left cocked for extended period of time. A 'springer" has a spring and all faults of metal springs. I have all spring rifles. They have a slight kick, slightly louder if you believe what you read, Piston arw usually more powerful than spring. And cost more.

it is a break bbl. and assuming it has rifleings, most guns do for accuracy. it is accurate,let me point out also-its very loud-.thats the #1 problem with this air rifle,advertized as quiet,but to me its as loud as a .22 rifle.

No...It is a solid...Well designed gun...I was not impressed at first...But the Engineering is good...Germans made it. Break barrel. One pellet at a time. I can design a gun to do that...I recommend that you do that. I am a customer. Is Amazon.com going to pay me for my time. Haha.

I havent mounted it on a rifle as yet.I have about 28 acres and I like to watch the wildlife I have here.I primarly just use it by itself right now.I'm looking for a Ruger 10 22 in 22 magnum.5 years ago I gould purchase one for less than $400.Now the greedydealers want$900 and theammo is obcsenelypriced.I live in TN and even the local walMarts haven't hs any 22LR for almost a year.just useing the scope I can see what goes bump in the night,

YES...Also it's the biggest P.O.S., that I've ever seen, the pellet only moves at 400 fps, which is hardly worth shooting. If you're SERIOUS about shooting you want something like the Umarex 2252268 Browning 800XPS, It only costs $50.00's more & it's TWICE AS FAST, it too has a Rifled Barrel, today MOST Air-Rifles & Pistols have rifled barrels. Hope this helps

This is a very very acccurasy. I use the crosman premier hollow point and domed...this is a best air rifle for small hunting...I loved this rifle...

IMO, it will feel like forever. I invested in a SCUBA tank and adapter ... fits the rifle and the pistol. Need portability? Get a "pony" tank. Cheers! ;)

MSP, multi stroke pneumatic.. 2-8 pumps i mostly plink and pest with only 4 out to 20yards. After that you need more pumps. Dont be lazy and get a co2 air rifle. This is a beast, keep sending them back until you get a good one. If you dooooo, go co2 the heritage 2260 isnt bad for the price. Crosman has them for 125 so a little cheaper than the 392. If your in a cold region you gotta go with 392.

Works the best out of ALL ( 6 ) that I have tried ,GAS PISTON , or PCP , are the best . PCP no recoil but $$$$$ !

I mentioned the truth 2 youth bow in my earlier reply. I looked back at my amazon order history and saw a bought it in sept 2012 for $309 from reds gear, they no longer carry it and I saw Amazon has it for $579, quite a bit more than I paid. If you aren't getting it for a young shooter their are better deals to be had. let me know if you have any other questions.

Absolutely not. It's a hydrologic much like you'll see on a screen door or what you see these bouncing cars use. It's a very strong upgrade yet it isn't as herd to shoot with definite less recoil. It's not a gas chamber you replace like CO2.

My first air rifle was a pumpmaster. The hornet is much louder, as is any break barrel rifle. It's not so loud that it will cause problems, I shoot in my backyard daily, but it is a serious rifle, so it makes a bit of noise at the action, and light ammo may make a super sonic clap.

I can't speak to that gun directly, but in my Nitro (piston air rifle- 1100 fps) they certainly do. Over & over. (Just not fast enough to keep the little buggers from reproducing though...!). Hope this helps.

I purchased the M604 from Amazon for about $90.00 this past winter and love it. I am sure you could be satisfied with this. I am not familiar with the other unit you are considering, so have no opinion. The M604 is really powerful for its size. I was going to buy a second M604 but do not understand the tremendous increase in price. I would not pay the current $210.00 but wait until it drops back to $90.00.
