OMG, OMG Can it be true?

Check out the shotshow video of he TR5. Many airgunners will reconize this as a clone of the famous and fantastic Little Black Russian known as the IZH 60. One of the best buy's every for a airgun. It had like a cult following. I own three of them including the model with the steel receiver. And yes, guys would spend 5 times the amount of the gun for optics.
The little gun IZH is so crazy accurate. So much written about them.
I will definitely be getting one of these.

By the way, the spokesman demonstrating the Gun, is Tom Gaylord. Any airgun enthusiast knows of him and has read some of his books, followed his reviews for years.
Here is one of my days out shooting the IZH 60 in what I call Wind Shooting. Taking a light windy day and trying to shoot the center vein out of a blowing leaf. One of my favorite past times.




The TR5 and selling for $150.00. By the way, that was the crazy thing about the IZH, they cost almost nothing and had a almost OLYMPIC trigger. The Model IZH single shot was 6 way adjustable.

Will this new clone equal the Little Black Russian? Sadly, I would guess no. But cannot wait to get Tom Gaylords review.

I look forward to seeing that, but can't watch the video.

I hate that guy that does the videos....Steve I think.

I will leave it at that.

Totally agree. I found him very annoying. Tom Gaylord on the other hand as been around Air Guns all his life. He has written tons or reviews. I also would bet he had a hand in designing the TR5. Tom has also written quite a bit about the "Little Black Russian".

Another shame that Our Country cannot allow exports for all Countries. The Russian Barrels on the IZH Models are some of the best made.

The IZH 46m. A gun that has the capability of shooting a eyelash off a flea. Hard to find one now, and if you can even find a used one, you are in luck. Not unusual to pay over $600.00 for one. Even at that price, reported to shoot as well as guns costing three times as much. I have kicked myself a dozen times for selling mine.

The biggest question is, when the American Barrel equal the Russian barrel in accuracy. This will be a very interesting challenge. Looking forward to reading Tom Gaylords review.

I have a IZH46M that was bought before a nice price jump they experienced. I forgot what I paid for it but that gun has sharpened my pistol skills tremendously. It is deadly accurate.
I remember reading a statement about it a long time ago. It went something like this, "this gun may not win Olympic gold, but if you were good enough, it sure could get you there."

BB PELLETIER (Tom for any newbies) has forgotten more about air guns than most people know.
I love his honest reviews.
