Hi All,
Anyone have any experience with the Stoegar air rifles. They are well priced for theit published speeds. Any input welcome on quality accuracy etc.....
Thanks , John
 
Stoeger

Bought one last week. Power and accuracy are good, trigger has alot of creep, and very heavy. They claim the trigger is adjustable, but the adjusting screw does not seem to change anything. For the price (I paid $139.95), it's not a bad gun.

It looks like the Crosman Quest. It's probably the same Chinese company that makes it for quite a few different brand names. I love my Quest. Get a GTX III trigger from Charliedatuna and it'll be perfect.
 
I have a Stoeger X20, wood version. It has been fairly accurate for me (decent groupings, and I'm not a great shot). Velocity is advertised as 1000-1200FPS, and through my chrony it is around 970 on average). It's essentially a rebadged Chinese airgun (forget exactly the model, maybe BAM B-19). Trigger is a bit heavy. I am not a big guy, but didn't find the weight of the gun too bad (it's over 7.5lbs with the scope and all). Mine came with the scope, which I think is a 3-9x40mm. The one thing I noticed that it's pretty loud (first time I fired it was without hearing protection and it was louder than I thought - didn't make that mistake again). Stoeger also makes the X5, which I think is the non-PAL version of the X line, as well as an X10.
 
ive got the X10 in black synthetic. The wood version is really soft cheap wood. It cracked on my so i got it replaced with the synthetic. Shoots well i like it. Took a pigeon at 6o yards or so the the other day
 
I have tried the gun with 5 different brands of pellets and it did best with the heavier premier ultra magmun .177. At a standard 30' they shot 0.2" vs 1" for the Daisy hollow points, Gammo was 0.7". They are good guns but need trigger work to really shine.

I got a wood one from Flaherty's when they were on sale for $129. I liked the look and feel of the wood stock, though the heavier synthetic version looked decent and durable. Interestingly, the trigger on the gun I got was much nicer than that on the synthetic that I handled, perhaps just the type of variation that sometimes happens with Chinese quality control.

I haven't fired it yet, but it sure seems like a lot of gun for the price I paid for it.

Cheers,

Frank
 
I have an X20 with wood stock and scope

The measured velocity thru my Chrony with 8 gr pellets is about 950 fps

The accuracy is good too.

The quality seems good to me but the trigger is very heavy

I'm happy with my purchase
 
Got an X5 from Al Flaherty's. Cost 105 bucks if I recall correctly.

I'm a lousy shot (since I've only been at this for a couple of months) and I can group 8 shots in a 9 inch diameter circle from 40 feet.

Had to adjust the sight quite a bit before I got it right, though.

Anyway, for the money, it's a great rifle. If I wanted to do something more than kill paper with it, I'd get something else.
 
You will find with pellets cracking 900fps + unstable airflight as the go sub-sonic .Only the heaviest weight pellets can give the best accuracy and shooter error[hold] is magnified greatly.A tune with replacement spring bringing things down to 850fps or so will tame them down.Speed is over rated it's accuracy that counts.Gun companies tout inflated speeds to sell guns and when you put them on the chrony most arn't even close.Harold

I spent some time today playing with the trigger adjustment since the heavy pull was really bugging me. I found trying to adjust the trigger screw thru the trigger guard a PITA cause the trigger return spring keeps getting in the way. So I removed the stock to try to get better access and was able to keep the trigger return spring out of the way better.

Turned the adjustment screw all the way in and BAMMO.

Delighted to find a very crisp 3 lb or so trigger pull. (guessing)

Boy , what a nice trigger now. Almost as good as my old Diana 45.
