Decided to treat my good old bsa superstar to a new stock I saw on eBay. Upon taking the action out I found this:
Does this mean what I think it means? The shop I bought it from years ago mentioned the previous owner had it tuned, nice sales tactic I thought!
Always thought she shot like a dream for an old girl!
I had one on mine and it was a great bit of kit, only problem is you get through pellets quicker Mine didnt like Daystate Li's though, lots of jams with them.
Cant wait till they're in season. Have one on my permission, big obnoxious b*****d making a ton of noise wherever he goes. Sits on a big pile of woodchippings watching the world go by, I swear he knows he's out of season!
Luton lad myself, you want to get yourself to Donaldsons in Fenny Stratford or R.K Stockcraft in Stoney Stratford. Both will take great care of you and give you a decent rifle for a very good price. Ronnies are a great shop but I,personally, wouldn't buy rifles from them. Bedford Country Pursuits is a good shop with a normally good range of second hand guns but the owner is a bit of a geezer Nice fella nontheless.
I picked up a Tanfoglio Witness 1911 the other day, £100 for a shockingly accurate replica 1911. .177 bb's & blowback action. Shall be shooting it Monday but they are very highly thought of among air pistol shooters.
Pesonally I think tuning it would be better than gas-ramming it. However there is something special about shooting gas rams .It all comes down to personal preference I guess!
Blackpool air rifles seem to have a fair few in stock mate, £72

Ahaha I have a mate who would love that, all the bells and whistles on it! Upon getting his first rifle I had to literally wrestle the "tactical" baretta CX4 out of his hand and replace it with a HW90.
Owning both, spring rifles are far more satisfying to hunt with & shoot in general. The extra weight, recoil & skill needed makes for far more satisfying kills. Can't knock pcp's though, they do what they are designed to do extremely well.
Without a doubt, .177 is the calibre, a pellet to the head is a pellet to the head, with the trajectory of the .177 its even easier to do so. Hopefully got some ratting work coming up & fancy something different, .25 looks like a blast!
