power of vnew air rifles .pcp

[celticwar 1]

is this to worry about or not .........

with all the laws in place .. they say no airgun should be able to go over the legal limit ...........

so wheres it end ...?????

 

my own rifle a superten .22 bullbarral carbine from new was 11.2 ,11.5 ftlb aa fields

 

and now has problems spitting pellets out at 9ftlb .so i spoke to bsa , bloke at said B.S.A test there rifles +set them to bisley magnums ............i said well if the law can use any ammo they could use pile drivers they be over the legal limit on every rifle .

 

.so i sent my tin of aa fields , 200 of and my rifle ..

said can you set it as high as poss to these .due to i only ever use these ... bloke said bsa will try ..

well got it back to day 9.30ftlb power thank you bsa now feel p... off ....

so does this mean we all have to use magnums , or baracudas in our rifles to get power back .. ... fly like a banana lol

what do you guys think ...

 

 

 

what did your guns produce from new ... or if new now check them post your finds

No idea what is actually going on here but the power will not go up from 9.3 to 12ft lb moving from AA field to Bisley Magnum!!

i thought the power goes up due to using a heavy pellet

deker

am i wrong then ?????

[celticwar 1]

but main point is it seems the gun companys are setting air rifles very low ..

so as a result . theres more risk to your prey not being dispached cleanly ... ie it could be seen as becoming very cruel to what we shoot by the press

... its wrong they should be selling top power air rifles ... last time i looked its our job to check power levels if it goes over we are liable to the law not bsa us due to its our responsability

i dont mean to upset any one just suprised and disapointed with bsa ... but seems bsa arnt the only ones doing it

They are staying within the law.

 

It take 5ft's of pressure to cleanly crush a rabbit's scull at 30 yard's.

For all I know it may take 5ft lb of pressure to crush a rabbit skull...never put a rabbit head in a vice 30 yards away to test it....

 

But at delivery, in the right place with a pointed pellet a rabbit will die with 2.5ft lb baby, and 4.0ft lb adult MAX!!!..but he won't have a crushed skull...just a neat hole!!!

Celtic, have you tried it over the chrono with Bisley magnums? What does it read?

[celticwar 1]

have not got any mate ........

i use a a fields all the time ...

[Guest rexdigger]

just changing to either of them pellets wont change the power that much im afraid get it to your local gunshop and get it tuned but the only thing is to tune these guns its expensive because they a regulated and need setting up properly

thanks for the advise guys spoke to bsa today .. told a fella how chesed i was at how low the power was ...

and that i have to fire 20 30 shots of before the power levels out ... he gave me his word he would under see what happens with it .. he also said he would set it to what power i want he said there good for 30 . lol i said no just near 11.5 - 11.7 would be great ....he asked what i used it for to which

the other bloke didnt .. i said rooks high up in trees then pigeons , rabbits ... fingers crossed .
