Any views and reviews?

Not actually seen one but here is a review for you.

To be honest it looks to be an ideal garden rifle for plinking and with the break barrel looking very easy to cock, may be well suited to kids as well. I don't think you could take this gun as a serious hunting rifle but for fun and coming in at £150 or there abouts including a scope and in some cases a gun slip as well, it seems to be good value. Please note that the shroud on the barrel is for cosmetic function only as the barrel runs to the end of the shroud so no sound supression.

If it takes your fancy, buy it but I think most people on here would say to spend a little more and but a higher quality rifle with a good pedigree such as a Weihrauch HW95 or 99 which can be tuned to perfection, then you will have a very capable rifle that will take down plenty of rabbits if you do your part.

As with any springer, you will need to put in the time practicing on the range, forgive me if I am teaching my granny to such eggs.

Got the Remington  express in .22 ,gives 11.7lbs foot all day with AAfields ,claims 12lbft on the box but 11.7 is fine for hunting and plinking too .Nice chinese made "merican" airrifle ,loverly stock ,fits nice but the fake silencer doesnt do squat imho .

The HW 99 same power for a little bit more dosh but 50 in my pocket is quite a lot of pellets atb

Hi Baldcoot,in another of your threads about the express you said you were using H&n ftt,have you changed to AAfields?

I think the HW99 is only giving out 10ftlbs,where the 95 is 11+,I must admit been a tough decision, I started off fancying the Webley vmx,then the Remington tyrant, and then the HW95?

I really do fancy a change leaning towards a tactical stock,I do admit I did previously look at the express,and since your reply had a good look at the Remington Express XP tactical. Its wanted for rabbit control day& night and a spot of general rat/pest control.Am I right that outside the UK these are capable of over 12ftlbs,same make&model?

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Yes switched to AA fields about 2 weeks ago to try and very happy with them.H n N are fine but the fields I was given and seem more consistent imho.

Yes they're rated to 12lb,ft abroad. 

The Remington can be Tinbum tuned then will well  do over 12lb,ft .the guy I bought it from warned me to recover chrono after a 1000 pellets as it could go over with the right pellet anyway

Is yours standard or got a tinbum kit fitted?

did you buy yours new or s/hand? and are they very loud on firing, sorry for so many questions.

[patterdale 672]

added to ask what size AA fields you using

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Standard, not fitted a kit ,bought new .No louder than my supersport in.22 .Would benefit from a tune and polish to smooth the noise down but don't want to throw it over 12lb,ft so I'm waiting .

Currently on 570 pellets through and will have a look see after 1000 have been down the barell. 

Pellets are .22 Aa fields but can tell you the weight when I get home from work atb

HW 95 Luxus is a perfect fit for what you want Patterdale in my humble opinion.

                  

 

                                 Good luck.

I think they are 16grs,but think they come in 5.51&5.52?

[patterdale 672]

Right then lads..I've made a decision... thank you all for the input and suggestions.

I've gone with .22 

 

 

 

Remington Sabre..could be the TH ?

Staying with wood and not a synthetic stock.

My 50th coming up in 3 weeks,hope I'm spoilt??

so is it OK to shoot 5.51or5.52 even though .22 is 5.5?

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Should be no problem ,ive tried 5 different pellets,some cheapp n nasty some decent and the size variation is a joke ,all claim .22 but some fall out <smk copper> and  some need a shove Fields and H n N and even Milbro Caladonian .The fields are labled 16gr but only 5.5 no mention of 5.51 or 5.52 but are a tight snug fit .But it is an old tin i was given so free is the best  price imho .

Trial and error ,go on ebay <boo hiss ,grr i know> and buy a few trial packs and see how you fare .Everyone has a favourite pellet but all rifles are different so knock a few beers cans down,punch some paper and see how it goes atb

That's what I can't understand? On the tin 5.5,but on order selection to the right of pic,says 5.52
