Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is single action only requiring you to engage the side cocking latch system before you can shoot it. You will also be required to manually select the barrel using the side mounted cross bolt between shots. The trigger feels pretty light in general since it is a single action only trigger but it does have a fair amount take-up and creep before releasing.

Accuracy: I would imagine since the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is designed more for mid to large game hunting that it will be accurate out to mid and long ranges, of course you will need to practice at the ranges you will be shooting at to know how the arrow will fly and how much elevation you will need to to adjust for. We want to make sure we have a safe shooting environment before unleashing 169 foot pounds of energy downrange on doing the field test, stay posted.

Build Quality: The Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is really well built and solid coming in at 8.7 pounds. For it’s size it is not heavy since it ustilizes a combination of metal, aluminum and polymer. All the mechanical parts feel high quality and reactive.

Realism: The Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is not a replica of any real steel gun in production since it is a hunting rifle through and through. It is rifle shaped of course since that is what we have gown accustomed to using and so why change the main design. If you have used a rifle before then you will have no problem using the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle as it is more of a rifle and less of a bow or crossbow to use. It just happens to shoot arrow rather than bullet.

Pros:

• Canada non PAL Airgun with enough power to hunt medium to larger game!
• Overall price point is good, nothing like this to compare to.
• Arrows are propelled from the front, so no archers paradox when aiming.
• Arrows come with field tip arrows but can be unscrewed and replaced with broad tip arrow heads for hunting.
• Easy to use cross bolt safety on trigger.
• Pistol grip allows for easy hold and control.
• Fit and finish is excellent.
• PCP for more power and consistency than CO2.
• Picatinny rails on top for scope, sides and bottom for other accessories.
• Rubber butt-plate for added comfort.
• Improved easy to use side cocking system.
• Double barrel allows for quick follow up shot.
• Higher PSI for high power with same amount of shots as older single barrel AirSaber.

Cons:

• Need a pump or other compressed air-fill system.
• Will require a proper backstop system to practice safety with.
• Arrows are not cheap so make sure of your shots.

Comments: The Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is a really unique product that allows virtually anyone to be able to hunt even larger game without a firearms license in Canada. It is not really a riffle or a crossbow, it is it’s own creation that takes the best of a rifle and the best from archery combining both into an easy to learn and use way to be able to hunt proficiently and perhaps even in areas rifles are not allowed to go. For the extra $100 or so I would recommend the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel version over the original single version barrel but both will get the job done at the end of the day since usually your first shot is your only shot.
