Available in both synthetic and wooden stocks, this air rifle promises a unique blend of power, precision, and nostalgia that will appeal to both newcomers and seasoned shooters.

Introducing the PCP1000

The Nova Vista PCP1000 is designed to evoke memories of classic air rifles like the Daisy Red Rider but with significantly more power. It’s available in a synthetic stock and a beautifully crafted wooden stock, offering versatility for different preferences and environments. The rifle comes with open sights, a single-loader tray, and a 10-shot round magazine. With the ability to add a scope via the dovetail mounts on top, you have the option to enhance your shooting experience. While it currently doesn’t support a silencer, efforts are being made to manufacture one that fits.

Key Features and Specifications

The PCP1000 boasts a number of features that make it a standout in the entry-level PCP air rifle market:

• Weight and Handling: The wooden version is incredibly light, making it easy to handle for both young shooters and adults. The side bolt lever is designed for ease of use, even by kids.
• Safety and Control: Equipped with a safety burst disc, the rifle ensures that overfilling doesn’t lead to accidents, especially if younger shooters are filling it unsupervised.
• Trigger Sensitivity: Straight out of the factory, the trigger is intentionally set to be harder to pull, reducing the likelihood of accidental discharges—a feature especially important for safety when kids are using the rifle.
• Pressure and Shots: The PCP1000 can be filled to 200 bar, providing around 20 shots per fill. It’s a balance between power and efficiency that caters to a wide range of shooting needs.
• Scope and Sights: Although designed with open sights for an authentic shooting experience, the PCP1000 can also be equipped with a scope for improved accuracy over longer distances.

Shooting Experience: Open Sights and Beyond

Testing the PCP1000 on various targets, we were impressed by its performance with open sights. Shooting at balloons and bottles, even in windy conditions, the rifle demonstrated impressive accuracy and power. The ten-shot magazine allows for quick reloading, and the magazine’s glass window lets you know exactly how many shots you have left, enhancing the overall shooting experience.

Performance Metrics

To provide a clearer picture of the rifle’s capabilities, we conducted a five-shot grouping test at 50 meters using 18.13-grain JSB pellets. Here are the results:

• Shot 1: 926 FPS
• Shot 2: 932 FPS
• Shot 3: 928 FPS
• Shot 4: 928 FPS
• Shot 5: 923 FPS

The consistency in velocity underscores the rifle’s reliability and precision, making it a great choice for both casual shooters and those seeking to refine their marksmanship skills.

Ideal for All Ages

One of the standout features of the PCP1000 is its versatility. While it’s powerful enough for serious shooting, its lightweight design and safety features make it an excellent choice for introducing younger enthusiasts to the world of air rifles. Whether it’s for a backyard plinking session or a more formal target practice, this rifle can cater to a wide range of activities.

Final Thoughts: A Must-Have for Your Collection

The Nova Vista PCP1000 is more than just an entry-level air rifle. It’s a tool for creating memories, honing shooting skills, and enjoying the outdoors. With its combination of classic design and modern features, it offers a shooting experience that’s both nostalgic and exciting.
