Type: Pellet air rifle.
Manufacturer: Baikal.
Model: IZH MP-61.
Materials: Metal & plastic.
Weight: 4.3 pounds.
Barrel: 18.5 inches, metal-rifled.
Propulsion: Spring piston.
Action: Repeater.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 5 rounds.
FPS: 490.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the IZH MP-61 is a nice light 1.4 pounds and the release stage is also adjustable, you actually need to be careful of accidental shots as the trigger is light enough to go off before you are ready to shoot.
Accuracy: Very good, I was not so sure when first using the IZH-61 with my initial scope and pellet setup but my second open sight test with different pellets yielded a very tight 1 inch group from 30 feet out in a standing unrested position.

Build Quality: This is a no-nonsense gun made Russian style, it is built to be cost effective so there are parts that could be made with metal that are plastic but there isn't anything on this gun that feels cheap or poorly built. Baikal also doesn't cheap out on the plastic as not all plastic is the same. I actually dropped the IZH MP-61 right on the front hooded sight without any adverse effects, cheap plastic would have cracked and broken.
Realism: Since the Baikal IZH-61 is not a replica gun, I can not really compare it to any existing one rifle out there, but it does look very tactical in design, much more so then your standard spring piston air rifle.
Purchased this rifle from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Inexpensive spring piston rifle.
• Very unique looking air rifle.
• Side pull lever design.
• 5 round magazine/clip.
• Right on the money with FPS.
• Adjustable Stock.
• Adjustable Trigger.
• 11mm dovetail rail mount for scopes.
• Very light weigh and easy to cock.
• Made in Russia

Cons:

• Plastic stock seems to mark up easy - kind of part of the utilitarian look.
• Mechanics takes a bit of getting use to.
• Scope rail mount is a bit short.

Comments:
The Baikal IZH MP-61 is a really nice low cost yet full featured air riffle! You really get a lot of rifle for your money: You get an efficient side lever design with a 5 shot magazines for quick repeat shots, a very light weight and adjustable trigger, an adjustable stock, a rail mount for a scope and one of the more tactical looking air rifles available on the market. The Baikal MP-61 also takes the FPS right up to the limit without going over so no license or PAL is required to own this one in Canada. This air rifle is designed for target shooting but could also be used for small pest control if your marksmanship is good enough to hit the vital kill zones of your prey.

The Webley Alecto (AKA: Zoraki HP-01) may not fit in exactly as a "Replica" Airgun, although it does resemble a bloated Dessert Eagle! But it is an Airgun worthy of spending some time reviewing an this is now my third Vimeo Video review for the Webley Alecto. My first Video Review was a Table Top Review where I covered most of the Webley's basic operation. My second Vimeo Video was a Chronograph Test to see what my Webley Alecto could do performance wise for FPS.

I really wanted to do a video of this gun just shooting because that's what it does best, put lead down range very accurately! So I setup three cameras to capture it all from just about every angle I could think of and I set up 30 feet away from my target and shot 5 rounds in a rested position using a Red Dot Scope. The results where not surprising - pretty close to a 1/2 inch grouping!

If you're looking for a compact, hard hitting, accurate target or small pest control Air gun then look no further, the Webley Alecto has the goods!

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model: CP99 Compact Recon Version.

Materials: Metal slide, polymer frame.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: 5 inches, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action only.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds.

FPS: Up to 400.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex CP99 Compact Recon is amazing, it is short and light making it one of the best action shooters I own. You can fire this gun accurately and fast all day long.

Accuracy: Great! The addition of the Green Dot Scope and slightly longer barrel on the CP99 Compact Recon version work amazingly well, this is one of the most consistent BB shooter I own getting under 2 inch groups at will from 20 feet out.

Build Quality: Excellent, this BB gun is made in Japan and uses metal where it is really needed like in the slide, slide release, safety, trigger, magazine release, magazine and most of the mechanical parts. It's well made, well finished and feels great in the hand.

Realism: This Replica BB gun has many of the same characteristics of the actual 9mm P99 Compact with the exception of having a longer handle and much different safety mechanism. Umarex has even changed the design a bit with the newer CP99 Compacts and made the ejection port cut out adding to the realism of this BB shooter.

Available at: the Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Decent reproduction of the original Walther P99 Compact 9mm.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Walther P99 Compact 9mm handgun.

• Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

• Really good FPS, accuracy and CO2 efficiency for a blowback BB air gun.

• The Recon version has a longer barrel adding a few more FPS to this already great air pistol.

• Amazing light and fast trigger pull making it a blast to shoot.

• Addition of the Sight Rail, Compensator and Green Dot scope really add to the esthetics and performance of this BB pistol.

Cons:

• The Sight Rail, Compensator and most of the Green Dot scope are plastic but this does not seem to effect the performance in any way.

• Safety lever seems out of place and takes away from the realism of this replica.

• Switch on the Green Dot Scope is silver making it stand out from the rest of the all black air gun.

Comments:

I already loved the CP99 Compact non-Recon version so I had very high expectations for this BB gun to be at least as good if not better and I was not disappointed! I was actual surprised at the improvements that the longer barrel and Green Dot Scope made not only in a much higher Feet Per Second rating (about 75 fps), but also the much improved accuracy in what was already a decent shooter. For the additional $40, you get the Sight Rail which allows you to add multiple accessories if required. You get the Green Dot Scope that noticeably improved the accuracy, and you also get the compensator which hides the extra long barrel for more FPS.

I already have a customized full auto Drozd Blackbird who can pass up another Dorzd when the price is right! I will be making a double Drozd video down the road :)

My new Classic Drozd came with the Full Auto mod chip, the JimC hand made barrel, a 68ci Nitro Duck 4500 PSI carbon fiber tank and bulk air hose.

I also got the Red Dot scope with my new purchase but used one of my rial risers that fit perfectly giving my new Drozd an AR look to it.

I purchased a bunch of "near new" air guns from a friend of mine last week who was't using them anymore and thought I could put them to better use. I was happy to oblige!

I already have the Crosman Quest 800 Break Barrel .22 caliber rifle for my pest control but you can always use one with more power! The break barrel Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak in .22 caliber is rated at up to 1000 fps and it is a real beast of an air gun to say the least. It came with a nice 4-16-40mm scope and I added an NCStar bi-pod to it to help distribute some of the weight.

I sighted it in at about 50 feet and was able to get about a nice 1 inch grouping with it from a rested position. I am looking forward to using this gun when my fruit trees start producing.

We get requests for accessories all the time and one of the more popular requests is for Red Dot Scopes! I will be expanding the Replica Airguns Store more frequently now and posting new arrivals as we add them to the Replica Airguns Store.

So to kick things off we have the BSA Multi-Purpose RD30 Red Dot Scope:

The BSA Multi-Purpose Sighting Systems are a wonderful light weight sight for close quarter and medium range targets. Light enough for small calibers plicking on the range, yet durable enough for larger calibers used by hunters and law enforcement departments. A great addition to your pistol or rifle!

• 5/8 Weaver style attachment
• Obj. Lens Diameter 30mm
• 5 MOA
• One Year limited warranty
• 11 position rheostat

My scope mounting hardware came in today and I got right to work adding my new Aim 3x9x40 Rubber Scope and Foregrip to it. I wasn't planning on putting on the Foregrip, it just kind of happened and it looks good, so it may just stay on the CX4?

I ordered a Picitinny/Weaver Deluxe Riser Mount because I wasn't sure if the scope would clear the built in sites and I was thinking I wanted to mount the 3x9x40 Scope toward the rear but as it happened my high rise ring mounts where already the perfect hight and the Picitinny/Weaver Deluxe Riser Mount I ordered wasn't required!

Guess I'll have to shelf the Riser Mount for another project, I'm sure one day it will come in handy.

I have been wanting to get a suitable scope for my Umarex CX4 Storm for a while but have been busy with the Holliday Season, today I made it out to Panther Paintball, a local paint ball store in my area to see what they had in stock. Sometimes I find paintball stores have a better air gun accessory selection then even many full fledged sporting goods stores that sell guns?

I was in luck because they had some good deals going on, one of which was a nice 3x9x40 Rubber Coated Scope made by AIM SPORT INC.

The only problem I had is that it did not have the right mounts for my CX4, it came with mounts for an M16 Carry Handle instead. So I added a Deluxe Riser Mount and some High Profile Picitinny/Weaver 30MM Rings - Problem solved!

I also have another rifle coming next week that I want to add a Foregrip and Red Dot Scope to, again Panther Paintbally had a 1x42 Red Dot Scope made by AIM SPORT INC. that was on sale and just what I was looking for.

Lastly, I found a Foregrip much like the one I have on my Steel Storm but without the Tactical Flashlight built in. I didn't really need the light on this new gun anyways.

Now I'm set for next week when I hope to get all the parts I need and of course my new rifle...
