I have gone to the dark side...

[deano26 16]

I have only gone and bought a PCP

 

Its a FX typhoon T1 in .177 flavor with a BSA Deer hunter 8-32x44 scope.

 

I had never heard of FX air rifles before, but with a bit of advice from the fine chaps on here, I took the plunge and bought it!

Its is second hand, but the stock is almost unmarked and in great condition-it really is a lovely bit of tree.

The rifle had just been serviced, came with a 3 month warranty, scope, fully topped up tank, gun bag,and a tin of RWS super field pellets so cannot really complain!

The rifle feels solid and well built, is light and easy to use,-it has already accounted for 3 feral pigeons, a magpie, a squirrel and a pheasant, (The land owner says that i can take a few as i had never tried it ) but no rabbits as of yet.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Dean,

Yes resize to something like 640x480 and you'll be fine.

 

Nice gun, not for everyones taste and a friend of mine had a bad experiance with them but if its working it'll be great

Very accurate indeed

 

As for the darkside, no not yet, pcp's are more grey'ish HW100's are the darkside

Hi Deano.

 

Congrats on your new PCP mate, hope you have many memorable trips with her.

The thing kept leaking (if I remember correctly), had it replaced same happened.

 

Apart from that, he loved it for its accuracy. I've not heard of the problem happening to many people though, think he was just a tad unlucky with his.

I was going to say good luck with your new gun, but it doesn't sound like you need any luck judging by your mixed bag

[deano26 16]
