Is the rifle still for sale, I know someone who will be very interested?

And I would also add, a Harris is not necessarily the best bird for a beginner, they are intelligent, and biddable, but easy to mess up at the same time, owing to the. Fact that many owners are trained BY THE HAWK, a retail is a very good bird to begin with, you will be a more knowledgeable falconer training and flying a red in the end.

I applaud your attitude, rushing to get a bird is the worst thing you could do, might I suggest you make 100 percent sure you have plenty of land to fly the bird before considering getting one, assuming of course you don't already have land.

To be fair to the lad a 2p sized group @ 30 metres with a spring gun is not too shabby, assuming the pellets are shooting well in the rifle, a bit more practice should see an improvement and the magic 5p group achieved, I would suggest keeping to 20-25 yards as a maximum range at the moment, and working on field craft and stalking skills.

Now sold.

They certainly do work, mine was about £30 all stainless steel, absolutely spot on.

Im with you on that mate Pro sport for me everytime, or better still a Walther lgv/lgu

There is also the distinct possibility that many who say "putting in for my fac" never actually bother, the cost, the cabinet's and filling in forms just puts them off, as well as what has been mentioned above.

Yet more meddling by the lovely cwis and his cronies.

If you did re consider posting/courier I will do it for you, considerably less and better than most?

because like most rifles they can be improved with work, TX and pro sport can be smoothed out by removing the steel top hat, polishing the spring ends, polishing the piston rod and trigger sears, and adding some delrin bits, and very importantly correct lubing, especially of the synthetic bearings the piston runs on.

True mate, however when they are short stroked the power drops quite a bit necessitating more preload to get the power back up, (assuming power is an important issue) the extra preload needed usually increases recoil, rather negating the benefit of short stroking, just making the rifle snappy, just my opinion of course.

Its fookin not, thats why I never fitted it to Phils TX when I tuned it, much much better without that crap.
