I also don't recall too many Italian companies been noted for their engineering acumen. When I picked up an X5, an X10 and an X20 at a show earlier in the year- the unscoped weight was a barrier- especially so on the X5 compared to its claimed output (800fps). _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

B50 / B18 / B19 / b25 /B26 you know that for a fact????? what i don't get for the power claims is why they're only .177. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:37 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" The lowest power Stoeger, the X5- should translate to a B18/19, but certainly was NOT a B18/19. So unless they have re-vamped the products since I saw them at the SHOT show in January, they may not be Chinese variations. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

B50 / B18 / B19 / b25 /B26 They're not made in China. The stocks are pretty well finished. I think I've read somewhere they're made in Turkey but I can't find the article... Stoeger, sounds like Steyr and Ruger or something. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 3:28 am kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand from what I have read they are Bams,,, But I do know for a fact the the Stoeger B50 is a bam B50 have held one...guy in the shop thought he had something real special ..I burst his bubble...

Maybe the Euro versions are assembled in Turkey or something... _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2009 12:24 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA The X5, X10, and X50 are all springers: http://usa.stoegerairguns.com/index.php So is the X20: http://www.airgunbuyer.com/webnews.asp?ID=584 Here are the specs: http://usa.stoegerairguns.com/specifications/ The AoA blog says they are Turkish: http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/blog/2009/05/impressions-from-nra-show.html Which I can believe, since they all have the safety in the same position as the Hatsan (Turkish) line, especially the model 95SAS: http://www.hatsan.com.tr/new_airguns_mod_95_sas.asp But then on the other hand, the Stoeger adjustable triggers have the adjusting screw in the same position (and performing the same function) as the Gamo/B18-19/Crosman style trigger: http://usa.stoegerairguns.com/customer_service/stoeger_airguns_manual_usa.pdf But I saved the best for last - they don't require any breaking-in: http://usa.stoegerairguns.com/customer_service/faq.php _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego! nobody talks about STOEGER rifles     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
