Amazingly acrurate!! An air 'sniper' for sure

Friggin Amazing!...Highly recommend the .25 caliber -- I have shot .177 and .22 and there is NO comparison if you actually want some knock down power for hunting small game. With full charge @2900psi - this will kill a bunny at 100 yds and then some. Instant, humane kill at 50-75 yds every time, even with lower ( aprox 2400psi) pressure.

I have fired about 200 target rounds thus far ( and taken a few bunnies as well) using H and N hollow grizzlys...... not a problem one. I have some different types of pellets coming in the mail and look forward to trying different ammo.

A note to lefties: ( LEFT HANDED PEOPLE)

As shipped- it is a right hand bolt. It is stupid simple to switch the bolt over to left hand--- but beware, may void your warranty. Might be best to order it left handed.

It IS Heavy --- more so than a real m-4 -- if it is too much, try a smaller scope and drop the bipod...

To honor my recently passed father, -- I hit the range today with this and a few other weapons in tow ---- I was shooting a 5.56 rock river AR @ 100 yds -- basic AR -- normal hits and misses and a few flyers here and there.... As a base--- I am pretty good at 100 yds -300 yds with an AR platform rifle. I qualified as EXPERT in Army BT ...
( based on 300 meter pop up targets)

I powered up the Armada ( I have a remote tank - highly recommend) and proceeded to knock the sh%T out of targets that the m-4 scared a lot -- but never dominated.

I decided to see just what it could do --- moved out to 200 yds

Targets where orange clay birds...
( 2700psi) constant off tank -

at 200 yds after considerable adjustment on the scope, broke every one with force.... one shot each ....if it is anything, it is consistent!

I would not even remotely recommend hunting small game with this @ 200yds, but if you can get a ;lock' within 100yds..good as dead.

Never use petro based lubes!
( dieseling may sound cool---- but NOT Needed here! Use this rifle as intended and you will be happy)

Be patient with the bolt action--- after around 250 total shots -- smooth as silk. The break in is a bit rough.

OKAY - the big ugly question :

IS it good for home defense?

As a vet of the USA ( reg Army) - I will say this: I would not want to be on the wrong end of this at close (-30 ft) range. That said- if you really want to protect your home/self .... no replacement for displacement. Get a nice 9mm or 380 side arm and be done with it. If you are good with rifles..... the AR .223/5.56 or .308 platform can't be beat.....ammo is cheap and plentiful for now, anyway.

Practice Practice Practice!!

Worse case ? If I grabbed this first and shot someone in my house- I doubt they would present much of a threat after the fact......not dead, but certainly re- considering any harm they intend as I reach for my service .380.......then, as we say here in my state -I stood my ground...done.

I understand some people live in states/countries where they can't literally own an AR or pistols... This Armada might be a good alternate--- but to be honest- if you need to go PCP for home protection ---- get a .357 bulldog or better. --- there is NO argument about it's knockdown power. ( 400 lb hogs et al )

I have heard and read bad things about the scope that comes with this Armada ---non-sense!! I think user error is the problem.

RTFD .......( read the f88cking directions!..._)

The .25 Armada is a wonderfully quiet and spooky accurate varmint rifle --- very happy to add it to my collection!

Disappointed
by sam_19 (2 out of 5 stars)
May 7, 2019

My personal experience found this to be a big disappointment. If you don't have easy access to the a filling station that can fill Air tanks I would avoid. I thought using a hand pump would be fine, but having to fill every 2 magazines on the 0.25 version was a major pain. The gun is very accurate though when sighted in, and the stopping power is incredible. The gun also looks awesome, but the overall operation was lacking. There was a lot more plastic than I expected and loading/unloading magazines into the weapon was very difficult. Pulling the bolt back and loading was very difficult. The magazine although designed well, felt very cheap plastic to me and doesn't appear that it will last all that long. Mine also arrived with scratched on the metal and the scope had marks as well. For me, it wasn't worth the money.

Seals failed out of box. Returning to see if this dud is as rare as reviews would indicate.
by Craig D. (3 out of 5 stars)

Air reservoir leaked. Breach and bolt seals defective. O-ring at back of bolt in the rear part of the action came out as the bolt was moved forward after three low power fires (reservoir at 2250psi) that resulted in a squib on the third.

This was after driving out to the desert and setting up a range way the hell out on BLM land to spend the day siteing in this rifle and learning it.

I'm returning it to give this another go. Seems like a great model and price... if it comes intact and functioning. I think learning how to field strip and repair/tune this weapon may be a necessary but worthwhile thing to do... at least from what I've read about the popularity of the marauder platform.

Best air gun ever owned
by Chadrick Bowman (5 out of 5 stars)

Everything you want in an air rifle. Got this today in .25 cal and it more than exceeds my expectations. Extremely accurate and hits hard. There's no doubt this rifle would take small game clean and easy. I filled the tank with the hand pump and what a workout that was but it worked. I put 4 mags 32 shots consistent with one fill. At 50 yards all shots were within a radius that could be covered by a quarter. Absolutely amazing and a great addition to any gun collection. Just buy it don't think about.

Hammer does not cock all the way back to load the pellets. Defective gun and pure bad luck. I really liked the reviews.

Great gun

This is not the easiest to set up because i am a beginner to pellet guns but when i got it all done it is one kick ass piece of work. The only thing i wish i would have done is bought the air canister instead of the hand pump. It's not easy pumping up this gun with the hand pump.
