Umarex USA has released a bolt-action CO2-powered rifle, designated the Fusion 2. An update of their original Fusion pellet rifle, the Fusion 2 promises the best aspects of the earlier platform, with the addition of a SilencAir muzzle device, a nine-shot rotary magazine, a flexible CO2 power system and an all-new stock design.

To keep this pest-controlling plinker quiet, Umarex reworked the SilencAir to optimize its performance with the Fusion 2. As such, Umarex promises the impact of the .177-caliber pellet on the target is actually louder than the report of the gun. The magazine has also been redesigned as a rotary, and will hold on the last pellet seated, to prevent its getting out of sync. The magazine additionally features a last-shot indicator to prevent dry firing.

While the Fusion 2 can be powered by two 12-gram CO2 cartridges just like the original Fusion, it utilizes a removable 12-gram adapter to do so, which can be removed in favor of a single 88-gram CO2 cartridge for longer shooting sessions. On average, shooters can expect around 70 shots from a pair of 12-gram CO2 cartridges, and around 250 with a single 88-gram cartridge.

To aim, the Fusion 2 comes with a 4-32X scope, which mounts to an integral Picatinny-style rail. An ergonomic stock with grip serrations on the forend, and a raised cheek piece for a solid weld, help maintain a consistent sight-picture throughout one's shot. Finally, the Fusion 2's manual safety is recessed into the stock, just above the trigger on the right side. This lever is oversized with a 90-degree throw, for positive engagement and disengagement.

Recipe: Crispy Sticky Venison

This recipe is a great way to turn a simple venison roast into something that tastes as if it came from your favorite takeout place. The meat becomes tender on the inside and crisp on the outside, and the sticky sauce brings together sweet, salty and spicy flavors. Serve it over a bed of rice and watch it disappear.
