Kral NP02 PCP Air Rifle

[WH308]

I’m considering buying a PCP air rifle for a bit of home plinking and maybe a NV scope for rabbits if I upgrade the one on my .223.

My local air gun dealer has recommended the Kral NP02 as a good value unit. It has a good size bottle / shot count, built in picatinny rail, large capacity magazine etc. Also they will charge the buddy bottle for £2 so no need to get a divers bottle straight away.

Does anyone have any experience of this model? Or any suggestions for an alternative for similar money, circa £350.

Can't comment on the np02, but I recently bought a FAC version Kral Puncher Jumbo, and I'm very pleased with it. Had a couple of minor leaks, but easily sorted with a bit of plumbers tape. Accuracy is good, can consistently hit a 2" gong at 80 yards. But it's primarily a vermin gun,and so far rats and magpies don't like it at all.

I’ve had a np02 and only kept it for a week, hope that’s gives some indication on it.

What did you not like about it? Could you expand a little?

I have had more than my fair share of air rifles and I had won the np02 in a online raffle, I was comparing it to air arms, theobens and weihrauch’s etc, the quality seems poor compared, the action was rough and when I took the stock off to see what it was like inside and seen the bare copper pipe linking the bottles that done it for me.

Fair enough, I’ll get my hands on a few different rifles and see what they stack up like.
