Walther Talon Magnum by Walther

From AirgunArena

Things I liked: Full size rifle, feels like the real thing, lots and lots of power (I have the .22 cal version). Very well made. The scope mounts in both Weaver and Picatinny are nice, even if the scope itself leaves something to be desired. Quite accurate once you get the scope sighted in.
Things I would have changed: Comes covered in oil. The scope is really not that good, however it is easily replaced. Cocking effort is very high.
What others should know: This is a heavy air rifle, which may make it difficult for some to shoot offhand or standing. It does have some real recoil. The cocking effort if very high and closing the barrel after cocking is not that easy either. It gets better with practice however.

Things I liked: It's a Walther. Power! Very nice air rifle. Seems to be well made, but only time will tell. Full size rifle, not a youth model. Heavy. weight is about that of the Remington Model 700 7mm mag.
Things I would have changed: The scope mounts that come with this rifle. Need to have a built in scope stop. This rifle kicks like an AR15 .223 round. This rifle will kick the scope off in about 10 rounds. My rifle sheared off the Walther scope stop screw. Going to try the Gamo rubber bumber stop.
What others should know: Heavy recoil. If you mount the scope you will have to use thread-locker, (Lock-tite) or you probably won't have the scope mounted for long. The rifle is a beast to cock. You'll be glad it's a long as it is when it's time to cock the thing. With the iron sights I can get a dime size grouping at 35 yards. Will probably drive tacks once I can get the scope to stay mounted.

Things I liked: I have this in .22 and it is the most powerful spring gun I have ever shot, this rifle is built super sturdy, the spring in this thing is very hard to cock and kicks like a powder gun when you unleash the pellet.
Things I would have changed: nothing
What others should know: Made in Turkey by Hatsan and imported Walther/Umarex This Rifle is the same as the Falcon Hunter with a lesser scope and different stock.

Things I liked: Solid tight build quality, sleek feel, light weight, butch power. I wanted a rifle like my Gamo Shadow with more power. This is it! It's like a Shadow on steroids. The stock plastic is a cheaper grade than that of the Shadow and I was not impressed when I first felt the plastic trigger and safety switch. However, things are strong and work just fine and the trigger pull is actually pretty light, better than most Gamos and better than my Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak (great gun). Design and manufacture are very solid, metal work is very good, tolerances are tight. This thing needs break-in. It comes absolutely drenched in light grade oil! This causes diesaling. I cleaned the barrel and wiped down the gun as much as possible, let stand on butt for a couple of days to have oil drain to trigger. Then I started breaking in. This gun has MEAN power. Feels like as much power as my Super Streak when it was breaking in, even a tad more! Breaks sound barrier (1,117 fps at my location) with regular 7.9 gr lead. It's very accurate too! ( at least at my 40 foot test range). Good quality open sites. It's very difficult to cock, but is getting better. I think this will break-into being one of my favorites.
Things I would have changed: Somewhat cheapy feeling plastic trigger and safety switch, the ridiculous amount of high viscosity oil this thing is drenched in.
What others should know: Very solid but needs break-in period more than most guns. Mondo power not for the faint of heart.
