Baldcoot 2,352 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Inspired by Nathan,s success with his and F O D Redneck,s getting his lad 1 <cool dad or what > i made a trip to the nice peeps at Leics airguns and made a purchase .Well after a quick very foggy drive home out came the PR900W in .177 and some cardboard died an early death . Initial thoughts ,light as a feather ,simple design ,Chinese standard woodwork but works and a nice previous owner has fitted a PSI /Bar guage .And my first .177 air rifle so far so good ,pudding will be proofed when i go and see some pigeons and discuss how they like to be fried ,pied or diced . Now to get my dive bottle filled and a buddy bottle ordered but remember lads the mrs knows these only cost a tenner each 8 Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,183 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 They are a really light gun, far as I know he’s only shot a rat with it so far, I don’t know when he’s going out next . 1 Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,730 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 They have come a long way since the old days when they were made out of old bean tins give them rifles a nice bit of wood and i bet you would have some thing special but then it would cost a few hundred pounds more atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,730 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Stroeger 177 had a beach stain on it with a thick dark lacquer and when i stripped it back it had what looked like a walnut stock Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 You'll be fine with that mate. I hear someone on here recently paid £1600 for an airgun and still hasn't managed to kill anything with it. Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,730 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Not saying these rifles would have the same mind but it makes you wonder what may lie beneath the factory finish i would not be able to help my self lol id have it stripped back just to see lol any way enjoy lads and stay safe atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,925 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have spoken to a couple of chaps who have these rifles and they were singing the praises of them. I can't remember what shot count they got but said whilst they were used mainly for range work, they did the odd bit of ratting and the odd rabbit. For the money, they are spot on. Makes me wonder if anyone has tweeked them with regs etc. Phil Quote Link to post
