Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I like the new sporter stock, that’s what put me off for so long before, not the gun, but the stock. Then, when I saw a ks with the new stock, I could resist no longer. 3 Quote Link to post
Jonnyb6161 80 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 At least it’s not just me. I’ll just have to wait for someone to show up with a sporter to see what it’s like because they’re not a cheap rifle to tak a gamble on. Quote Link to post
j j m 6,470 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 ive had most 100s,i had vizs sporter in 177 that was a lovely gun to shoot,i should never of sold him it back but me and viz do this all the time ,I like the thumbhole stock better ,as soon as I lifted this 100 with the custom stock I new I had to have it ,a lot of people love them a lot hate them ,the one I sold jimmy big mac I could not miss with yet jimmy struggled with it like he says he did not get on with a thumbhole stock on it,i bought a mfr the same day I bought the 100 I sold the mfr 2 days later it could not match this gun ,but that is just my opinion this gun fits like a glove for me 3 Quote Link to post

In my opinion there are better PCPs out there e.g. R10, S510 and the obvious Wolverine R and Fx Crown. Had 3 r10's ,nice guns but not very pointable , had a s510 for a night but the cocking is now where near the 100 , Wolverine R well its a gaystate and from past experience leave well alone . Now we come to the FX crown ,this is probable will be my next buy but in .22 FAC , just a shame most FX guns have a problem with sub 12 , FX are probably the best fac airguns you can buy at the moment Quote Link to post
Jonnyb6161 80 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I had no problem shooting the R10 whereas I had trouble getting behind the scope on the 100(this could probably been set up better but you can’t do that with someone else’s rifle). I tried the S510 ultimate sporter, Wolverine R and Red Wolf at the northern shooting show. All 3 were epic. One of the lads at my local range brought in a Crown sub12 and it was the best of the bunch. I know it was only 20 shots or so with each so it’s only an impression I got but that’s the opportunity I got. 2 Quote Link to post

One of the best daystate rifles i ever shot was David Evans wolf when he came up to stay at mine for the week end 60mtr range and i was hitting 10mil bolt heads at 60mtrs shot for shot now that was a rifle put 4 or 5 mags through her and fell in love with it .
