A mate has got the Cometa 400 Fenix & is v. happy with it.

Personally, I would have gone for the 400S, which is silenced carbine version.

Walnut stock.

Spanish made, but that's not a worry (look at who owns BSA these days!)

Quite a long gun hence my suggestion that the silenced carbine is the better choice

Good value for money for the spec'

 

Now wait for the other posters who will variously tell you:-

1) Any springer not made by Weihrauch or BSA is crap or

2) You're better off with a 2nd hand Air Arms PCP set up

 

IMO if you want a new spring gun & money is an issue, then it's not a bad choice

Never shot one of these guns so don't know how they handle but just had a look at the range/specification on the Cometa 300 and for the price they don't seem a bad buy.

Cometa's are average, entry level rifles. Whatever you buy make sure you get it chronographed to make sure it's either doing the power they claim or not classed as a firearm.

 

A Cometa should be doing around 11ft/lbs. If it's doing less then it's a pile of scrap and you'd be better hanging on to your cash and looking for something else.

I'm just waiting for my Cometa 300 Nickel to be put on my FAC, will be using it for plinking and short range stuff. Will let you know how it goes when the paperwork comes through.
