Rabbit hunting

[Rabbiter12...2 16]

Hi again guys

ive been offered a Webley Axor .22 8 shot pcp with silencer bsa scope and a pump for £260

i know this is a lot so I wanted to ask for some other opinions before I said yes or no

What do you think?

thanks

It sounds ok as long as it's in good condition,  holds air with no leaks and shoots straight.

 

You'll find that accuracy will come easier with a PCP.

 

Maybe try waving £220 under his nose to see if he'll take a lower offer

 

[Rabbiter12...2 16]

I will but he says he doesn’t care if it sells or not

thanks

they look to be a basic  (fx 2000 I think it has some other names )  a good gun if its working as it should  . I have read they can leak but  look eazy to strip and replace o rings all pcps leak a some piont when the o rings fail over time , but all air guns have seals deteriorating over time .

Once again... i have a similar gun, AGS litew8 .22 8shot... mags are expensive and if seal do leak can be tricky to replace all the allen keys are lock tighted in and soft metal.

Shot count is about 40 shots. So if you only have a pump then youll get a great workout.

Youll probably be better off with a drive bottle but that is more expence to consider.

On the plus side pcp would be better as no recoil to deal with so easier to shoot. Mines accurate enough to 40 yards.

Especially if your mate, who is a mechanic, doesn't check the loose o-ring and you spend 45 minutes doing it. Just for example, like...

I don't know this gun at all so cannot pass comment but I will say if I were you, try to find a pcp with a good shot count per fill so that the demand for air is not so bad although I will stay that without doubt a dive cylinder is both very fast to refill the rifle and no effort to do it. It is all down to budget and how much you want to spend. 

It is quite possible that someone on here may have something to fit both your pocket and requirement.  A rifle that might be just right for you is the Walther RM8 which I have had and dislike but that was the early ones and I understand they are ok now.

Thanks for your advice but I really don’t mind the effort of refilling

Are there any other issues with the Webley axor?

will have a look at Walther RM8

[Rabbiter12...2 16]

I yes and if anyone has a decent quality pcp around the £200 mark they don’t want anymore please could they inform me?

thanks

Keep an eye on the sales section and don't rush into any purchase.

NO GOOD for hunting when cold , the first gun you showed at the start of this thread , is better than 99% of most co2 guns .

[Furrosious ferreter 499]

Personally... no co2.
