The brand new Fusion from Cometa.Scopes are extra

The action fitted to the Fusion range is identical for each model, and sports some interesting and eye-catching features.

A solid bull barrel gives the rifle a purposeful look, and with the flared sides just forward of the breech, the overall impression is of a quality adult sporter. I say ‘solid’ barrel, but the chunky 3/4inch diameter looks to be bulked up by the use of a sleeve. Either way, it’s very well executed and finished. The barrel is apparently ‘Cold Hammered’ in the traditional way.

No open sights are present, and with the muzzle capped off with an alloy ported ‘tube’, the profile is nothing if not sleek. Cometa term this component an ‘Airstripper’, although whilst it looks great, and is precisely machined, I have my doubts as to whether it actually has any effect on the barrel dynamics, or indeed accuracy. Most effective ‘strippers’ would allow the pellet to exit the rifling briefly, then pass it back through a restricted tube to literally ‘strip’ away the excess air, before the pellet exits to the outside world. Cometa’s design is rather more simple, yet appealing nonetheless. As for the claims that recoil is reduced… we’ll see.

It’s always an encouraging sign with a break barrel, when the manufacturer fits a breech adjustment bolt, as Cometa have done here with the Fusion. A bolt runs through the breech, which, later down the line, if any play in the lock-up is detected, can be nipped up to tighten the whole arrangement. In addition, a ‘keeper’ screw sits inside the bolt to prevent any movement over time. All very neat, and a measure of the attention to detail that Bascaran invest in their products.

A single piece cocking linkage is utilized in the design, and coupled with a spring-loaded barrel détente, the integrity of the breech lock-up is not an issue.

The trigger fitted to this Fusion appears to be identical to that fitted to the Fenix models, which is no bad thing in itself, since despite an irritating plastic blade, which could easily be moulded to offer a much broader contact surface, it actually ‘breaks’ quite nicely in use, with a reasonably light pull.
