: Mark 611 May 09, 2010, 12:33:47 AM

I thought I'd share some pic's  of my Cometa 400, the targets I shot when the gun was new I have about 1k thru it now of cphp's and the gun is very accurate and very quite to shoot its one of my fav's :p

This is impressive.  How quiet is the gun, do you have any decibel numbers?  I'm looking for a powerful and quiet springer (at least as quiet as the Beeman R-7).

This gun shoots around 751fps ave w/14.3gr cphp's it is very quiet don't have any db levels but I have compared it to a Bsa lightning in .22cal and it is quieter than that gun but not quite as quiet as my stock M-Rod but not far off that what you hear is more of the piston slam than muzzle report, the muzzle report is almost not there with this gun and the more I shoot it the quieter it gets also keep in mind this gun isan't broken in yet! and let me add I don't shoot off a bench either these shots are taken standing up rested off a ladder rung!

That is a very impressive rifle, and some nice shooting. I know I will end up with one of these someday.

Thank Mark. I love the carbine springers..:) I had a Cometa Fenix 400 in .177 and sold it, but I would not mind owning the compact version......:)

I still have my almost like new RWS 94 which was made by Cometa for RWS andis the exact same power plant that Cometa uses. All these years and Cometa has not change a thing in their power plants. I hope to start restoring my RWS 94 soon, but would still like to own one of their compacts...:)

I have one of Gene's Cometa's...best gun I own. I have an 'old' RWS 94 era Fenix as well, which I bought new out of some dealer's closet. I love them both and think Cometas are the best value, bar none. Accuracy, power and looks.

That compact is a beauty!
