This all comes down to personal choice and there are those that will argue with me here, but I struggle with a FAC springer. Forget it and buy a PCP if you want to go FAC!!!
-
Doesn't work that way with semis, they all cause more grief than bolt, but the 10-22 has a wide choice and massive aftermarket and custom parts availability...it's just the way to go really!!
-
All round some fairly sensible answers I'd say, but you have not made it clear if this is Target or Field work??? With the 2 calibres mentioned I obviously assume it is field work! 1000 and 400 in 3 years ...now that's a difficult one, I do know a few people who use less, but I and many others use substantially more....don't expect that will be a problem though...problem could be with deer though...more and more there seems to be a requirement for a DSC or a Mentor for deer although fox is commonly granted for .243 without! An Open after 3 years would normally be granted if the FAC

If you are talking for an air rifle I would suggest the Combro CB 625. Mine cost about £35 around 8 or 9 years ago, still going strong and I don't think they cost any more now. You will not beat it for the money and unless you want to get involved in serious ballistics and/or top competition most airgunners will find it more than adequate!

2 Very good responses so far in my opinion. I use the Velocitors and find they arrive with a serious thump BUT, the HP is not that big and the speed and copper coat reduces the bullet head spread on impact at times. Sadly as well, the groups do tend to open up a bit at 100 yards. Without doubt these have plenty of power to stop a fox at 100 yards but placement is fairly crucial as they still have a very good chance of going right through without opening up fully! A 40g Sub sonic HP will open up like a mushroom, cause considerable internal damage and quite often stay within the bo

Just as Mr L said..it's what we had, we were after Charlie and deer, the evening turned absolutely filthy with howling rain and wind and cold and we were all sheltering...Mr L spotted Charlie through the mire of the weather and got closer and closer, Charlie didn't move..he was sheltering too..job was done with what was to hand..thats the way it goes sometimes........most of the medium/large wildlife we take on this land is between 50-200 yards, centrefires are the tools of choice for this, not shotgun!

MUCH stronger than Falcons plastic ones...got a feeling these could outlast me, especially the stainless and brass!
-
Yep ..it is true.. the black plastic one is courtesy of Falcon...the stainless, aluminium , copper and brass are courtesy the great craftsman FUBAR!!!!!

I think the mags are about £50...... and yes there is a Theoben users site, I have all the info at home so I will post it later for you ...on my brothers PC at the moment as I needed to get some pictures taken over here!!! See the new thread any time now..........

Seeing as it is a 1" tube I expect 1" mounts may work!

what bottle is out of date mate ? the dive bottle you have or the buddy bottle off the rifle ! if its the one off the rifle then that hasnt got to be tested ! Jamie g I was always under the impression that the gun bottle (not resevoir) DID need testing, but I've never had a detachable bottle, but know a couple of Rapid 7 owners and at least one HAS had his gun bottles tested. Can I ask what leads you to say it doesn't! Cheers dont no really mate ive never had to have mine tested and the rapid we use to have. we had for 6 years and never has the guy in my shop charge

I've had the carbine and classic and personally i think this shoots as well as both, you've also got the advantage of take down.....why do you rate the classic above it Deker ? Just interested mate. For me the whole s410 thing is amazing, because a few 'well known' fella's use them i see all un sundry recommending them... ...even people who dont/havent shot them. I've shot with quite a lot of guns but personally i didn't get on well with the classic or carbine. Had the TDR and i too was taken in by all the comments about the classic and carbine so went for them, i wish i hadn't....i should h

You would have been better off sending me a link to a porn website ! Sorry mate it doesent make any sense to me, dull as a brush when it comes to wording like that, first it said it is an offence to kill or injure any bird, then it said an authorized person can?!?! Thanks for putting it into plain english for me , i did try to discourage the gulls first but not the pigeons, i just shoot them to eat, am i even allowed to do that? Sorry but i just need some clearing up. Luke You cannot legally shoot the pigeon for the sole reason and purpose of making a pie, you have to sh

The .22LR Pistol is a deadly and much underated tool, since the changes in the Deer Act Last year it is also perfectly acceptable to us it for Humane despatch of deer as well (lots of ammo choice for each job too)! With regard the original question from Leveller, put the right case and you will get one (medical and police records permitting)..you will need to show appropriate reason as Matt has said!!

Russian Barnaul for "chucking" down the range in .223Rem..most commonly 200yards. 14-16p EACH 55g or 62g FMJ! My days of serious competition are over, and this does me fine now...no suggestion this is the best stuff around, it isn't..but it groups plenty well enough for what I want down the range these days, and if I let go -100 in a session I still have some change for a pint in the clubhouse afterwards!!!
-
If for some reason you want a rifle you can take apart and put in a box then it is very good! If you just want a good rilfle forget it, there are plenty of better ones, including of course the classic 410!!!
-
That is about it's max range...forget the 100m stated, AND if you put a Red filter on it knock things down even more. BUT, the Atom is ok for close 12ft Air rifle (as is the Logan Lamp) but it is no good for scanning longer distances to find your quarry! How much does an Atom Pro cost £111... How much does a Max Pro cost £112 Around 4 times the beam distance !!!! Discuss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers
-
Target....Small Game/Vermin....Larger Game/Vermin.....Close...... Far...Eating or just Killing...etc, etc?????? I think you have had the best advice already because even if someone says XXX is brilliant it may not suit you or your uses..suggest you try a few as others have said!

So something like 26-30p a shot. Not bad about £1.50 less than a premium factory round in .223 e.g Remington 50 gr Acuutips.On that basis then once youve loaded 3-400 rounds it would have offset the equipment and start up costs. Sounds good to me. Did I miss something here, are you paying in the order of £1.80p EACH for these??? Also, on the other hand remember you can buy CHEAP Factory Barnaul in .223 Rem from the likes of Peter Lawman for £13.95p per 100 Certainly for Remington 50 gr Accutips in .222 they are around £17-18 for 20, .22-250 are around £20-21 for 20.

Yep..sure does..and there will never really be an answer, .22 for hunting and .177 for target is the time honoured tradition. Whilst I would still tend to agree with this, what is best for what......this must surely be down to who's hand the gun is in and their specific, detailed, use and requirements! All the best for trying but I think this will be a really tricky one!!
-
The Tracer ATOM is nowhere near as powerful as the Max. I would tend to agree that a dimmer is hardly worth bothering about with the Atom, the MAX is MUCH brighter and the dimmer is very useful on this! Atom is rated as a 100m beam Max is rated as a 400m beam Don't believe either of these ranges they are both exagerations...yes; I have used BOTH, and the Mini as well!
