  1. Anyone know of any aftermarket trigger kits/replacemnts for the Sako Quad?
  2. Yeah, I remember years ago trying out some rws superpoints.. I didn't get on with these! I got talked into trying some air arms hunters last time I was in my local gun shop, despite my reservations... To be fair they do seem like a blunt point, which may be a bit better than a true point. But without wanting to open a can of worms about pellet shape.. Any shaped pellet in the right place is going to be fatal at sensible ranges.. Accuracy must be the number one consideration surely
  3. I was given an fn12 by my old man the other week, he had it new about 8 years ago and has only probably put 50 pellets through it. Day to day I shoot a hw100 .177 and a sako .17 hmr for those longer range rabbits. I had a spare slot on my FAC for a .22 air rifle so decided to get the fn12 uprated. True, it's not got the biggest air capacity in the world, by a long stretch! But wanted a truck gun, so never that far away from my bottle. Few bits later, hw silencer, rowanengineering multishot adapter and a 3-12x50 ir scope with a laser mounted on it, and now running at 20ftlb.. I'v

  6. hi there, you looking for a .177 or 22 HW100? ive got a .177 i wouldnt mind swapping?
  7. I have been looking at getting a new fac air rifle but can't seem to make my mind up! I thought I had settled on a fairly new rapid 12 mk2 but when I went to see it it was unbelievably long and for me would be impractical for the shooting I do. I understand that barrel length is key to power, which leads me on to my next question. How much power is actually needed? The majority of my shooting will be between 15 and 70 yards. I have taken rabbits to 50 with my hw100 in .177 on a quiet day with time to accurately judge the distance and work out the drop. For longer ranges my .17 hmr does th
  8. Any opinions on the fx range?
  9. Looks cracking but heard the odd bad word... Maybe with the early ones?
  10. Hi there, now I know that this has probably been posted more than a few times before! But I would be interested to hear a few thoughts on the current view of fac air rifles. I've shot air rifles some 20 odd years starting with the classic BSA super sport, then hw97 and later a daystate harrier all in .22, currently shooting a hw100 in.177. Up until about 4 years ago I was pretty up to date with the state of affairs with air guns but ventured into the world of rifles with a lot of my shooting over the last couple of years done with a .17hmr - a sako quad. I have a slot on my ticket for an
  11. Umm..... You haven't lost an o ring from anywhere have you? I'll check mine later and update!
  12. I've got the old hw100, pre quick fill, so all charging is done via the bottle adapter. Dead easy. Just unscrew your bottle by hand from your gun, slide it out and screw into the bottle adapter attached to you bottle, and fill. Turn off main bottle and unscrew gun bottle. Self bleeding again. Then screw back into gun. Easy!
  13. Swap .177 hw100s x2 mag, sling, swat 8-32x56, tactical gun bag for .22 rapid 7 or 12, ideally mk2 with scope- or would keep my scope? Ideally FAC though would consider non FAC Pm for details Oli
  14. Thanks for the comments, and great looking dogs cocker. Both the saluki whippet and pure are very wary of strange noises around the house or just outside, not much escapes them! Once they get to know dogs they are much better, both are ok with may mates lurched. They are also a bit better with other running dogs. They particularly dot like collies, terriers, labs or no average pet dogs. The difficulty is finding other random dogs to walk them with. Though we will keep at it.. I do think it's his trust that needs rebuilding. Before the attack he was fine and played with all other dogs. But he h
