Blackbriar 8,568 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I had one a couple of years ago. Cracking gun, straight out the box - the TB kit can only improve an already excellent performance..........now get out there and start shooting it !! 1 Quote Link to post

LuckOrJudgement 437 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 How is it with the TB kit? Smooth? Quiet? Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,189 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Only tried it once but yes , according to the previous owner it’s made it smoother and quieter he took the silencer off after he added the kit. Quote Link to post
mattwhite 1,993 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ive got one off Si that he had a play with, nothing major just a polish and a few tweaks. Its in .177 pal and is sweet as a nut. MUCH better choice than the others you mentioned pal. I would confidently take any shot with it that i would have with tx or pro sport etc pal. With a little help from chairguns data i dropped a rabbit at 60 yards with it, lights straight out with a headshot. You WILL NOT be disappointed 3 Quote Link to post
mattwhite 1,993 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Just add......when you see what they are capable of, its staggering why they are only £200! 1 Quote Link to post
