AR177 588 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hey all, Been approved my FAC so ive been looking at FAC air rifles (aswel as rimfires ) What rifles perform well as FAC? Would it be worth me getting my S10 turned up to 30 ftlbs or just flogging it and buying something else? Ive heard they get around 60 shots from the bottle, which at that power seems pritty decent to me, and i know the gun shoots well. Anyone got any experience with FAC S10's or any other FAC air rifles ATB Adam 1 Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I enquired about getting my S10 to FAC and was advised that there is too much involved and best to buy a dedicated FAC rifle. Theoben Rapids are popular in FAC Edited October 17, 2012 by AirgunGuy Quote Link to post

thursodog 353 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I've got a full length HW80 with a V-mach kit and Titan no2 spring stuck up it. Its got a heavy MTC taipan scope on it and a rather heavy Parkerhale rimfire rated mod on the end and it shoots fantastic. Ask Simon Pianoman about them as it was his posts that made me get one and to be honest i leave my BRNO mod 2 rimmy in the cabinet these days. Once you get used to shooting it there aint a cure for wanting another. Its making just over 20ft/lbs but doesn't have that much recoil. I've been practicing like mad with it for ages and spent a small fortune on pellets and just love it. I've shot bunnies out to 50 yards and you can hear the RWS Superfields walloping their skulls with a really loud crack. I've went down range to about 30 yards and you can't hear hardly anything when its fired, just the pellet whistling past and an almost simultanious thwack when it reaches its target. This guns a lifer for me. Atb Chris. 2 Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Better off selling an buying fac, that way you don't de value the s10 an you will have to spend cash on it. What you could do is sell the ranger an but a ranger fac lol Quote Link to post

AR177 588 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I know alot of people are saying Rapids, but is that just because everyone loves them or is that because they do perform that well as FAC air rifles ATB Adam Quote Link to post
