Umarex Notos — Compact Regulated PCP Carbine

Umarex Notos Review — A Compact PCP That Punches Above Its Weight

The Umarex Notos is a lightweight, regulated PCP carbine built on the proven Snowpeak PP750 platform . This compact rifle features a side lever action, an adjustable AR-style stock with five positions, and a full-length Picatinny rail for optics and accessories . The integrated shrouded silencer keeps noise down for backyard-friendly shooting . Available in .177 and .22 calibre, the Notos delivers UK-legal sub-12 ft/lb power with impressive shot-to-shot consistency thanks to its factory regulator . For shooters who want a compact, accurate, and mod-friendly PCP, the Notos delivers genuine value.

Umarex Notos UK — Specifications and Performance

The Notos features a 300mm (11.75 inch) barrel and weighs just 1.85kg (4.15 lbs) . The regulated action produces approximately 30-50 shots per fill depending on calibre and firing rate . Maximum fill pressure is 250 bar (3,625 psi) . The side lever cocks smoothly on the left side, making it comfortable for both right and left-handed shooters . The two-stage trigger is adjustable, with owners reporting a long first stage followed by a crisp second stage . The Picatinny rail runs the full length of the receiver, providing ample space for scope mounting .

Umarex Notos Review — What Owners Are Saying

Owners on UK airgun forums consistently praise the Notos for its balance, lightweight handling, and accuracy. One forum user called it “very well balanced” and “very light” . Another reported a consistent 705 fps with 10.43g pellets, demonstrating the regulator’s effectiveness . The rifle is described as well-made with no spring twang on firing . Multiple owners note that the Notos shares its action with the PP750 pistol, meaning aftermarket upgrades and tuning parts are readily available . The Gen 2 model features a longer air tube, biathlon-style cocking handle, and improved magazine design .

Umarex Notos Problems — Honest Owner Feedback

The Notos has a few limitations worth discussing. The factory magazine can be tricky to load — owners report that you must insert the first pellet skirt-first at the back while the magazine is under full tension . The included instructions do not explain this clearly. Aftermarket magazines from CARM and Maple Leaf are popular upgrades that solve this issue . Some owners find the factory trigger heavy, though it is adjustable with basic tools. The Notos is not whisper-quiet despite its shrouded silencer — one owner reported hearing the muzzle echo across a field, suggesting it may not be truly backyard-friendly for noise-sensitive neighbours . The cocking lever can feel rough out of the box, but owners report this smooths with use or after polishing the internal components .

Umarex Notos Accuracy — Pellet Choice Matters

The Notos delivers impressive accuracy with the right pellet choice. One US owner reported that cleaning the barrel and tightening all screws dramatically improved accuracy . Another owner traced poor accuracy to a bad barrel crown and degraded breech O-rings, both easily fixable with basic tools and replacement parts . On the UK forum, an owner shooting with a Pard night vision add-on reported being “quite pleased with the performance” after zeroing the scope . The Notos likes heavier pellets — JSB Exact and H&N Baracuda are popular choices. For best results, clean the factory barrel before first use, as it often arrives with machining residue .
