Umarex Synergis

I bought this because it was on sale and I was looking for a fixed barrel air rifle with a magazine. I'm thoroughly disappointed. The mechanism that pushes a pullet in also has no disconnect and pushes early in the lever stroke. So if you start to cock it at all, cock it all the way or you will multi-feed.

Pros
Nice trigger, gun is below average weight-wise

Cons
The magazine does not have very positive retention which causes skirt tearing or crooked loading. You have to hold it with pressure in the direction the magazine installs to keep the plunger centered on the skirt (the loose fit of the magazine allows for misalignment with the plunger which is what ruins pellets more than being a little out of line with the barrel). The scope doesn't have any parallax or even first focal adjustment (allows you to focus for various distances) meaning you are essentially limited to using set magnification for a given distance.

Heading out camping and picked one up as a new toy on the way out of town. Unboxed it and installed the scope up in the woods. I was impressed with it's apparent quality. Cheap scope but it's what you get in a package deal for the price. Ran a patch down the barrel and started shooting. Scope rail looks tig welded on and it was straight on my gun. Didn't even have to adjust the scope! Now I'm getting real impressed! It's shooting "minute of pop can" at 40yrds with HN field target trophys right out of the box with me sitting in my camp chair! About 50 pellets in it started to have feeding issues. It fed but pellet shot wild. Next pellet was a squib. Knocked it out and it had part of the skirt of the last pellet jammed on it. After that I got another 20 good shots and it did it again, and again, and again unless I just did single shots. I was so impressed with this rifle at first while it worked. The idea of an underlever magnum powered piston gun repeater was exciting...

Pros
Accurate when it worked, good weight, smooth cocking, gas piston smoother shooting then a springer

Cons
Feeding is horrible. Stripping/pinching skirts leaving a ring of lead in the chamber that causes the next pellet to squib.

Throw the scope away that comes with it. Buy a good scope. The one that comes with it will not sight in. I put it in a vice and fired 11 rounds through it and not one round came even close to another one.

Pros
Great gun like how it shoots. And like the magazine that comes with it.

Cons
A little heavy and noisy

I shoot this gun a lot. It's very powerful, and accurate. Not having to load one at a time is really nice. Don't know why everyone is having issues with the loader I use the two magazines that came with the and two I've bought for extras and have had no issues with any off them. This rifle really likes the JSM Diablos Exact Jumbos. Shot several tins through it and have had no issues. I did put a better scope on it for full disclosure.

Pros
Accurate, easy to cock, and love the magazine loader.

Cons
None really it is a little on the heavy side but that makes it great for bench shooting

It's a great gun I have no problems with it and been punching holes through half inch pine boards at 50 yards

Pros
The fact that it's an underlever and stays true as long as you put a different scope on it preferably one for like 22 or higher

Cons
That it doesn't have an adjustable trigger a little stiff on the trigger though

As long as you don't mind single loading pellets and you get a better scope then this thing is awesome with more than enough power for small to medium game pesting.

Pros
Thing is a tack driver when it doesn't double feed and squib pellets in the barrel.

Cons
This thing double feeds like crazy when you use the magazine. The scope is also not all that great. Had to replace it with one off an old airgun.

After putting the better part of a dozen brands and weights of pellets through it, I found it really liked Crosman Premier Pointed in 7.4 grains. This was fortunate, as I have a ton of them on hand after a major sale. The mags are good, although more tricky to load properly than some. The rifle came with two, and I purchased another two. Any sort of rotary mag seems to prefer a domed or pointed pellet over a wadcutter. At the price this comes in at, I would buy it again.

Pros
Maybe I got a good one. From many reviews, this was not a successful rifle. However, I really couldn't resist picking up an underlever for Big Box prices. Got it by UPS, strapped the scope on, and had it rough sighted within five pellets. Final tuning took quite a few more, but at this price I can hardly complain. This is a fairly heavy (good heavy) and rather well-built. It's German engineering and Chinese manufacture, so think a BMW married to an SKS. The stock is solid, rather slender for my preferences, but nicely done. Rather than a blue or shiny black finish, Umarex chose a matte-black similar to Parkerizing. Once you find your pellet, it is nicely accurate. It's simple to cock, although the cocking catch on mine is a bit gritty. Trigger is much better than you would expect at this price point. For 20 yard shooting, the enclosed optic was pretty much spot on. Yeah, it's a cheap scope. If you want better, pony up. The scope will do you for most of your ethical shooting.

Cons
It would be nice if the cocking lever was a bit smoother and more nicely finished, but at this price point it is a quibble. Keep your fingers clear, the cocking arm can bite.

DON'T KNOW WHY EVERYONE SEEMS TO GIVE BAD REIIEWS, THIS THING KICKS BUT FOR POWER, i'LL BET i COULD GET A DEER WITH IT IF IT WAS .22 CAL.

Pros
NO PROBELMS LOADING SO FAR, AFTER 4 MAGS!!:)

Cons
WOULD LOVE THIS IN A .22 CAL.

Worst gun purchase ever for me!! Can hit the broad side of a barn but that is about it as far as accuracy. Bench rest grouping at thirty yards is eight inches! Should be the size of a quarter at that range. Seriously thinking of driving over it to erase the memory of a bad buying decision.

Pros
Lots of power

Cons
Accuracy is very bad! Needs a longer barrel for so much power. Spring gun recoil is a scope killer

Purchased this on June 21, 2021 and already had to call Umarex USA with complaints (June 28, 2021). My issue that I'm currently experiencing is when pellets are loaded into the breech (through the magazine) they are getting stuck and unable to shoot through barrel. This issue started immediately (after unboxing) with one of the magazines, and after around 200 shots, this issue is starting with the second magazine. I called Umarex USA, talked to Colton and hopefully we'll get this issue figured out and fixed. Do I feel as though I got a good deal on this purchase at just over $180? Nope! I am pretty disappointed at this point and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Maybe I'll be able to update and re-score this review in the near future as it appears that Umarex is attentive to my complaint, but time will only tell.

Pros
Composite stock, fixed barrel, quality made (receiver, stock, lever, barrel & shroud and rail) and power.

Cons
Scope is junk! Magazines are junk! Trigger is not adjustable and pretty hard on the pull!
