woodcote1 88 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I seem to remember good reviews but they always give good reviews in the mags. They seem to have vanished now. Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I do not rate them. HW100 same money only much much better! Had to empty one to send it to Belgium, the mechanism is very poor, sticky and reluctant to operate! Edited January 10, 2013 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post

Tron 173 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Prestige guns were made in South Korea by the company now making the semi auto air rifles shown on you tube. They also made the Webley Sidewinder which was much better than the Turkish Webley copies of the original PC models.... What killed off Prestige was their UK rifles had a poor record of holding air in the cylinders which meant that owners got P****D off awaiting repairs. their lovely thumbhole stocks used to split when subjected to any kind of stress.

Wildling 520 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 As with most air rifles or any fire arms you are better off sticking with reputable manufacturers or " Makes " . Quote Link to post
