The brand new, shiny, Pro Sport`s initial zero.


Recommended Posts

A tweak here and there yet lads but she could easily go hunting right now.

                    Here you go, remember, drawing pin heads not those huge 5p pieces.:laugh:

Nice one Mark. How does it compare to the tx200? Also, are these modern .177’s any smoother than a .22 sport? ,as I’ve never shot a modern .177 springer. Still got my .177 Vulcan bought new in 1979 for the grand sum of £46. That gun is far from smooth to shoot though. Shooting it now, I don’t know how I ever managed to hit anything with it back then,lol...

The T Rex is a joy to use lads, just freakin deadly accurate.

                    The Pro Sport I`ve had out once in two weeks because of weather and work so no where near making my mind up as to keep her as standard yet ?

                     Out of the box and not 50 pellets through her she performs like this on a drawing pin head at 38 yds. - Is there that much improvement to be made ?

                     Two clicks down and wow ! 

                      Dead rabbit every time.

The best looking air rifles, yes they're heavy but so good to use. 

I've had mine for 6 or 7 years I think and now its the only one I've got, It won't go to anyone else until I snuff it.

                  Timmy is your Pro Sport still standard mate ?

It does not

The tx is a shit rifle end of

The PS is better to shoot feels better

more point able

and better looking and thats not just my opinion

and best of all no bear trap

iv had loads of PS,s and every one has been better than them stupid tx,s in any cal

and iv had a few tx,s to even got a bling,ed out one at the moment

and its still shit .

and before you say out i cut my teeth on spring rifles before pcp,s came along so i know how to shoot a springer

PS,,I bet you could not buy a vulcan now for £49

nice rifles give it a little fettle and she will be as good as new

The Vulcan works fine, but it’s snappy to shoot. I have a few shots with it now and again for nostalgia, then put it away again for a long rest...I still remember the first rabbit that I shot with it. My friend stealthily creeped up on it,battling through brambles and undergrowth with a fourten shotgun. Just as he was getting  into position for a shot, I shot it with the Vulcan from the same spot that he’d left me in to creep up on it.

Hi Phil,

                Take a look at " Best zero for .177 and .22" I posted a few years back, all the info` is there :yes:.

                 Basically, 9.7 yds to 38.3 yds your pellet is within a one inch kill zone and this zero will give you a bulls eye at 16 yds and 35 yds.
