The Duncan 802 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I would very heartily recommend a BSA Supersport in .22. Fabulous gun! Duncan. Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Arn't the 55 & 60's that Hatsan Arms manufacture sold over here as Egdar Brothers Model 55 (.177) and the Model 60 (.22) If so you'll be able to get either of them new for your 120. Tony Quote Link to post

They're not a bad rifle and plenty good enough for knocking about on a farm. Quote Link to post
clifford 11 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I did try to day puting the spring back in and ended cutting my finger open I am ok at shooting but not at puting air rifles together. It would need a new stock and the spring is broke was thinking about putting some washers in it Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Why does it need a new stock? Replacement springs should be easy enough to get, just ask Edgar Brothers... But as stated £120 is enough for a new 55 or 60, but you might want to trawl through the for sale section on here! It is in General Topics... Quote Link to post
clifford 11 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 easy to buy a new one going to go down to the gun shop and see what they can do me. i will see if i can get a 55 60 off line. what you think about the SMK Xs19 Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Many slate the Chinese guns However I have an XS19 on the wall above me now Its the gun that got me into hunting and I've found it to be very accurate when handled correctly and consistantly The trigger is a bit heavy and I'm still thinking of putting a Charlie Da Tuner GRT trigger into it to make it nice and sweet. But hey, for the money the XS19 is pretty fecking awsome piece of kit. It's a copy of a gamo hunter and one of the HW's (I forget which one though). Tony Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) HI mate, What do you regard as being cheap? If your pretty well off a HW95K would be my first choice for a break barrel rifle over all others. You can get good second hand ones for £150. Scopes and mounts are about £30 to £40 pound from Ramsbottom and they are pretty good too. The HW95K comes with a HW silencer which is very good and had one of the best triggers currently available on a spring piston rifle. Si Edited October 22, 2011 by zini Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Zini after he has bought a new XS19, paid for a tuning kit and someone to fit it he could well be knocking on the door of the amount of money required to buy a new HW95.... Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I think you speed read Mike! Re-read slowly! Si didn't mention the XS19 I gave the lad my opinions on my own XS19 Tony Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Zini was comparing the price to a secondhand HW Tony, I thought that with all the tuning kits etc and fitting them, he could be getting to the price of a new 95! That is what I said, I think! I just re-read it! I did. By the time a gunsmith has stripped it, degreased it, relubed it, fitted whatever tuning kit and replaced the trigger, you could be talking the think end of £300 with the rates some professionals charge! I know the gun is £ to start with, trigger kit well states price is $32 ish, so say £28 when you have imported it, then gunsmiths charges can easily mount, unless he can find some noble soul from here to do it cheaper...

Phantom 631 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I get your drift now Mike, The only two things I've done to my XS19 is Dampened the transfered noise from the action (bit of felt/foam/rubber between the metal and wood) and had a silencer put on the end. It's very accurate for such a cheap rifle, I just need to get some more range time with it again PCP's make one sooooo lazy you know Tony Quote Link to post
