After seeing many good reviews on the Umarex Synergis I, of course, purchased one. After all, it was a springer with a 10-shot magazine that was accurate to about 50 yards and NOT a break barrel. At less than $200 US, how could I not?
I mounted the included scope and tried to sight it in, but to my dismay the 3rd to last pellet wouldn't load. I couldn't close the under lever and the magazine would not come out. So, I ended up taking it to a local gunsmith to remove the stuck pellet. he found that the magazine had not fully rotated and was now useless. I contacted Umarex about the mangled mag and they said it would be replaced.
After getting the rifle back, I once again tried to sight in. This time using the second included magazine. But, wouldn't you know, that magazine jammed on the 2nd to last pellet! At this point Umarex recommended that I just return the gun, which I have done.
I must say that I'm really sad that I couldn't even get the thing set up, let alone do any shooting with it!
Has anyone else been let down by this new model?
