    Gunpower stealth .20 cal, less than a year old used 4 or 5 times, very accurate and great deadly vermin hunter, its in immaculate as new condition includes silencer, Hawke scope, red laser and stirrup pump with adapter. All in all it cost me around £600 selling for £400 no offers, selling due to losing my shooting permission, the gun only was more than £400 without the extra's and barely had a few hundred pellets down it. I am in Kent and will only sell face to face buyer collects only, please no time wasters leave me a message and I will get back to you asap......... Cheers,

    I always hang rabbits in winter months a day or 2 and sometimes up to 3 days if really cold, but always thumb the belly to release the pee or it'll be retained and can be easily burst making meat taste shite, the rabbit when first shot will not pee but after leaving a few mins to relax all nerves etc it'll go no problem, as for pheasants up to a week in very cold weather but at the mo all meat can be butchered up on arriving home it wont hurt. Some say pheasants should be left till they have bugs and maggots are crawling from them ...........i think not lol but i read this a lot but a few

    Tbh they're not that good, I have 1 and had 1 in past which was useless, they often read well high or well low and are affected by the muzzle blast which also can make the reading a bit dodgy if it registers at all, best save a few quid more and get an F1 or something similar as i tested my gun on a combro which said it was 9.73 ft lb but in fact it was doing 10.89 ft lb on an F1 , just my opinion but they are'nt very good at all..................

    I have a .20 cal stealth and also a stirrup pump, its quite easy to top up the stealths mighty capacity bottle as long as i dont have to start pumping from completely empty but if just topping up after shooting a good 200 + shots its pretty quick and easy to top back up to 200bar or 3000psi, i have noticed though that using the stirrup once its full at 200 bar the first 50 shots are a little inconsistent and the stirrup seems to of over filled the buddy even though it reads 200 on the dot ? Im sure the stirrup filling is doing something different to the gun than the bottled air does......

    Great job, I have owned 3 x Hw 80's and have to say they're 1 of the.. if not the greatest springers going and very user friendly / tinkerers delight............... Thats come out very nice and given me something to think about doing as my brother has an old Webley vulcan .22 which he used a handful of times when they were new and all the rage but has sat for years in the bedroom cupboard, Time to persuade him to part with it i think..........

    Well been out finally with my new gunpower stealth in .20 and it shoots great, after an initial zeroing session I got it shooting very tight groups out to 40 yrds with JSB exacts at 13.73 grains, to be honest its the its the first pellet i tried other than a couple of premiers, but very pleased with its performance and the gun seems to like them you just know when they dont but these seem pretty well matched. I took it out to a new permission hoping for a bunny or 2 but to be honest I checked this land out all times of day and have only seen one ??? Anyway there is more land I can try wit

    If you are ok with a screwdriver and soldering irons you'll have it looking brand new again in no time they sell all spare parts, and soldering even for a beginner is fairly easy ..... Deano

    I had a long break from shooting and pretty much sold up all my gear for a metal detector but soon got bored with that so come back to shooting and luckily 2 of these landowners were from my shooting days and were fine with it but did manage to bag another small pasture site with a quick knock and invited in for a cup of tea with a lovely old couple who have many rabbits and could'nt of been more helpful and obliging plus I have a face that fits I guess, i think a lot of its in the way you look and they way you ask / speak etc but always try these little pasture sites with a few horses on they

    Planned to go out saturday morning, have a new permission farmer was phoned and message left but no reply at first ? Anyway on Thursday I had 2 tooth extractions that I seem to of been waiting over 6 months for as I have problems with bleeding badly for over a week afferwards so it was arranged to be done at the hospital, in I went thurs had injection to numb the area extractions done in less than 10 mins no pain and the socket was filled with sterile material and then stitched over..........job done or so I thought. He said to avoid infection he would prescribe antibiotics and noticed I h

    Just wondered who most are insured with and why pros and cons etc I am a valid BASA member but recently told its a waste of time and money for what im offered, which looking online at basc etc is pretty true, I wondered what others views are on this insurance subject Cheers, Deano

    Yeah, they're ok if you like this sort of thing but most hate the look of them they have a new one out called a hell cat which is based on the stealth but around 2ft max in length but did'nt fancy that as it must have a very short barrel which i always associate with poor accuracy, but they may be very good ? The stealths barrel is a 12" walther barrel and although short compared to some is very accurate......... Deano

    Hi, sorry I forgot to mention the black box in front of the scope was the empty laser box, its just the perfect size to fit where it is and to take a small toolkit, screwdriver allen keys a cloth barrel pull through and spare laser batteries etc and the little clear bag between buddy bottle and gun is a small combro chrono mk4 but did all tests with an F1 chrono then checked with the combro which is set up and calibrated and reads almost identical read outs so its just for a quick check whilst out and about, hopefully get out sometime soon to see how it performs.............

    I have had 3 of these now with this one, and ever since they came out in late 80's early 90's whenever it was I have only had one problem a faulty valve on the last which was sorted out very quick by Gunpower, they are said to be like marmite you'll love or hate it, but after converting my last one in .22 to .20 I thought I would go for another. This came this week so not really been out with her yet as rain has'nt stopped, so I made a wooden case to fit it into with scope on and the whole thing fits in my rucksack so well you could walk in a supermarket and no one would be any the wiser,

    I always offer but they never want any shot pests, but a bottle of scotch and a card at X-mas goes a long way, and offering to help out as I did on an orchard permission apple picking, I think we should all offer our services whilst on their land even if they dont need it always offer, you cant do too much for a good landowner......

    Nice one looks like it does the bizz, I never really got on with .177 although I bagged a fair few bunnies, squirrels, pigeons etc with it I never really rated it that much but .20 is a different story love it ......... Deano

    Yeah its a 12 mega pixel camera the original was a little sharper but the rabbit looked small as though at a greater distance so I did crop photo on laptop, they are all the camera you need for out and about, and some digiscope with them or convert to a scope cam which I'm working on... Deano

    Cheers, it was one of those days where wildlife was out everywhere and I had nothing but a bike a phone and myself, but I like days like this and as they say not everything needs to be in the game bag.... Deano

    I shot this bunny last year, but with my Nokia N8 as I was out for a bike ride and sneaked up on this rabbit sunbathing on his rock, it was 6ft from camera I hid behind the bush and held the phone at arms length slowly hoping he would stay put ........he did lol Deano
