Stoager X20

The model on review is the .22 in the camouflage stock. The realtree synthetic stock is made from high impact polymer, it comes as standard with fully adjustable fibre optic open sights, adjustable for both elevation and windage, the forend fibre optic sight is protected by a plastic casing, the fibre optic itself is red and at the rear sight it is green making it easier and faster to aim.




          At the other end of the rifle you have a black rubber recoil pad and an ambidextious stock and automatic  thumb push safety catch which engages when you break the barrel, when the safety is engaged there is a small white line on the top of the catch to let you know it has been engaged. There is also a two stage adjustable trigger which is protected by a stylish trigger guard and a monte carlo cheek peice at at the buy end and chequered grip and forend.
         Back at the business end this rifle is topped with a small stylish sound moderator which also acts as something to grip when cocking the rifle.
         This rifle comes in either .177 or .22 and has the stock option of synthetic camo, synthetic black or wooden. It ways just 7.5lb and has an overall length of 42.75 inches with a power outage of just under 12lb/ft and costs just £265.
         The recoil on this rifle is quite harsh, it is starting to settle down abit and is managing to make this rifle abit more of a pleasure to shoot.
         Being used to a much smaller, more compact little rifle you really do feel the weight after a long stalk but after a while you soon get used to handling this rifle. This rifle has a bit more of a caveman type feel about it than some of our other modern day rifles.
