    Hello Mate, I cannot comment on the Prairie but I have an FN19 Light-hunter which I have had now for 12 years and it is still deadly accurate. Like the name it is light, powerful and easy to tune, loves AA Field .22. Falcon in my opinion are a very good brand sometimes unduly underrated. The loading mechanism can a bit notchy but with a bit of fiddling on the loading wheel it can be silky smooth. I would put my Falcon on accuracy against my HW100, the HW100 is slightly better build quality. John...

    Hello All, What is a good scope for low level hunting? early morning, evening. I currently have a cheap Hawke on my HW100S, daytime good, low light poor. I mainly hunt rabbits and squirrels and like fixed magnification scopes for my Air Rifle, have looked through magazines but they all claim to be the best! Any advice welcome Thanks John...

    Hello All, I am currently using the H&N FTT .22 in my rifle (Weirhauch HW100S), lovely and accurate but at close range the pellet is passing through my quarry! Is there a good pellet out there that crushes better on impact for hunting? It needs to be accurate at range though. Any advice welcome John...

    Hello All, My Labrador is now 6 years old and has had her vaccines every year, I use advocate and worm her regular. My question is, is it worth having her yearly booster ? the reason I ask someone told me too much can harm her and by now she will have built up her immune system. Any advice welcome. Thanks John...

    Hello All, Had my new Weirhauch HW100S nearly 2 month now, it came with a tin of H&N FTT. I mainly shoot rabbits with my gun, I am finding the H&N's are passing through the head thus not doing there job properly. My friend said AA Field Diablo are good in the HW100, they are soft and deform well. Is this a good pellet for rabbiting ? Should I clean and lube or straight from tin? Any other pellet recommendations? Thanks John...

    Hello All, I have an FN19, hawk, lighthunter. I have had it 12 years now from new and I shoot Bisley magnums through it, it is deadly accurate right out to 50 yards. Lovely rifle, light and accurate. The rifle is easy to tune and parts are very reasonable, I rate it still even though it is old now. Likes Magnums too. Enjoy your gun mate. John...

    Hello All, Took the Weihrauch out today for the first time, super accurate rifle beautiful to handle and really well balanced. Shot 4 rabbits, 6 squirrels and 2 magpies. My other air rifle is a Falcon FN19, FAC rated. When I bought the Wiehrauch I looked at the FAC version and it had a ridiculously long barrel! Today I must admit at times I did miss that bit extra 'oomph' my question is, can my rifle be up-rated to FAC easily and will I have to send it back to Hull Cartridge for the modification ? Any advice welcome. Thanks John...

    Hello All, P**ing it down in kent, shooting off today. Gave the gun a wipe down today with my gun cloth, is it worth putting a bit of linssed oil on the new stock before taking it out ? Thanks John...

    Hello All, Looking to put a fixed scope on my Wierhauch HW100S, I am a fan of fixed scopes. I am planning to put a Schmidt and Bender scope on, what would be best for low light air rifle hunting 6x42 or 8x56 ? Any advice welcome. Thanks John...

    Hello All, How do you rate the above rifle for accuracy, handling and how quiet (with wierhauch silencer) ? Went out today shooting saw a guy with one looked really good. Thanks John...

    Hello All, Still have not decided on my new rifle. I have narrowed it down again to the Wierhauch HW100S or the Daystate Huntsman Classic, looking for advice on both rifles please. What are they like for accuracy and how quiete are they both ? I have been told that Daystate after sales is second to none as Wierhauch is not as good ! What about quality ? It will be .22. Any advice welcome. Thanks John...
