Phantom 631 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Got back into rifle shooting with a model 19. First bunnies taken with it :gunsmilie:So wont be selling even if I never use it again (got lazy with PCP's because my permissions demand virtual silence, especially when planting people). Phantom Planting people? How deep do you set them? Six feet usually, bit more if its a double Quote Link to post

Phantom Planting people? How deep do you set them? Six feet down. He shoots in a cemetery I thought as much but you never know, one bloke went into chicken farming round here, set the eggs at six inches deep... :11: Didn't see the reply Andy Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) what you guys think to us starting a post for pics of peps guns but springers under 250 only for a change? Yes but if another stupid damned fool starts going on about secondhand HW, Theobens, Air Arms, whatever can we line em up against the wall and zero our scopes on their balls please? Mine is my lovely Stingray .177, under £250, my wife has a Hatsan 60S and so do I for bunny killing! Edited because I forgot to say my lovely expensive Hatsan .177, sorry Webley .177 is in my photo (cost £240)... Edited January 28, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
HEAD SHOT 1 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 BAM also make a copy of the tx200 I dont know why smk have not chose to import it as its cheap in the U.S. I seen a shop in gun mart selling them for £220 at a time when real tx200s cost that. Worth keeping a eye out for. Had a few smks,not had the model you talk of but I seen it in my dealers,the blue looks good and the rifle looks well built,so do a few of the others but the £180+ price tags Id sooner stay safe with a quality recognised rifle.

Phantom 631 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 The Hatsan Mod 60 is sold in the UK as an Egdar Brothers Model 60. Same rifle crap trigger (just like the SMK 19) but a fecking accurate vermin killer once the trigger is mastered Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Sorry Andy, just having a joke not trying to rain on anyone's parade. Simple thing is some people will go for a new gun to avoid the somebody else's problem field and some will get secondhand guns preferring someone else to take the hit on depreciation. Saying that the wife bought a Gamo 400 in November for £100, did not like the power too much (it is a half powered rifle), she traded it in for £100 on her Diana 280 in January, not bad depreciation on a cheap gun is it? By the way seriously considering a Theoben Evolution, very seriously considering! Phantom I love the Quattro trigger (fitted to Webley springers and the Edgar/Hatsan), I find it a damned nice trigger to use! Easy to master and as stated they are very accurate guns!

Dai Williams 0 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Had lots of rifles as a kid beat up webley vulcans and El Gamos, But grew up turned into a teenager and dicovered booze fags and girls etc and lost interest for years lol. Anyway started taking up shooting seriously about 4/5 yrs ago First Rifle i bought was a Smk Xs20, Was chuffed zeroed it took out a few crows and squizzers in the following weeks, After about 3 months tho things went bad, Started making a terrible Twang and then i could'nt hit Sh*t, Tried my best to zero scopes again but found every shot was different and inconsistant, Smk's are cheap rubbish in my experience, Stay well away, if Moneys tight buy a 2nd hand rifle. I Spent £140 on a smk then 3 mnths later £150 on a 2nd hand BSA Lightening,Which was great but could have bought a brand new Bsa,Weirauch Air Arms Springer for the cash i spent on them.

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I`ve said it before and will repeat as required Buy a good secondhand quality gun instead of wasting cash on SMK etc,, cheap crap! simple. I know some like them but the above sums it up for me! Quote Link to post
Dai Williams 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) the only way you can take out a rabbit with an Smk is to run after it and beat it to death using the rifle as a club Edited February 13, 2011 by Dai Williams Quote Link to post
