Norica Viratus BP

   Hey anybody shooting one of these?  Not much out there on the interweb but they seem to be a pretty simple design that "just works".

Since I'm drawn to "unsophisticated" they have a lot aof appeal at their price point!  

If you know someone running one let me know eh.

Thanks
Foster

	Not me ..... But talking of Norica air rifles have you all seen this? https://noricaairguns.com/en/producto/omnia-zrs-fire-2/ Looks like the whole action slides forwards during the shot cycle to prevent the forward recoil effects. Interesting concept and hope some make it to NZ to try out.

	Would be good to try one. A guy down south has made a sledge system for his and they work well.

	Here's a good video of the ZRS - his other PCP reviews are also good and entertaining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUQvqI4etuI

	Very impressive consistency from a break barrel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
	Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

	A very nice looking piece of kit indeed. However, if anyone is thinking of importing one be aware that the Norica Vertek S I recently purchased from Youngs (and it was a lovely gun) had an undersized bore - as did all the other units that Ron had in stock. It would be gutting to import one of these no-recoil guns and find it has a similar fault. Edited by KiwiTR6 - 24 Nov 2023 at 8:34pm

	Oh bummer, did you manage to fix it? Or gathering dust?

	Ron took it back and was going to send me a replacement but when he checked them they were all the same unfortunately. My only conclusion was that the barrels were choked and had been installed the wrong way around, but I don't know enough about air rifles to know whether this is possible or not. A shame as it was quite light and very nice to handle.
