fabiomilitello 37 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm wanting to buy a new air rifle for some live quarry shooting. In particular, rabbits. I've opted for the .22 version with a silencer and a hawke eclipse 3-12x50 scope. After some research, I've decided I'm probably going to go for this one. Does anyone own one of these rifles, or had any experience with them? I'd love to know! Thanks 2 Quote Link to post
mattwhite 1,993 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hi there fella. I dont have the .22 but have just purchased a mk 3 in .177. All i can say is amazing. From the tip of the muzzle to the butt pad its quality. The minelli stock is a pleasure to hold and thats the beech version, the cocking action is smooth, its very well balanced, the blueing is incredible, very little recoil, very quiet for a springer (i opted for the full length fully silenced barrel version) and i think its as close to pcp accuracy as you can get with a springer. I cant imagine the .22 will be any different. As for the scope size, that also sounds about right. I have a nikko sterling 3-9×40 mountmaster on this one and it suits my needs for now so i would say go part with your money as fast as humanly possible as you will be VERY impressed. Keep us posted on your decision. Quote Link to post

Keep us posted on your decision. Thanks for the reply! I did have a read on your thread about it as well! Looks like I'm definitely going for this gun then. I'll definitely keep you posted as well - when I get it and take it out for the first time I'll undoubtedly make a new thread about it. Cheers Quote Link to post
Darkie69 76 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have the .22 HC can't fault it for stopping power or accuracy. Quote Link to post
