FalconFN Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 If you are going for a PCP and want it for hunting then multishot is they way forward. I believe the lr90 is single shot, the FN can be both, nor sure on the rest. I love my falcons as they are incredibly accurate and easy to work on but I've not had any of the others so can't compare.

Salop Matt Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 My money would be on the LR90 and Falcon FN19 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkgoose Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 thank you for the replies the rifle will be used for hunting/ rabbit control . so if the lr90 is a single shot it will not be much use in the dark . has anyone used or had one off the webley's . falconfn what sort of shot count do you get from a fill ?

secretagentmole Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I had a Venom Sidewinder, lovely gun, just a rebadged Evanix Blizzard though, so also consider the Prestige Kub and Black Cat as they are also rebadged Evanix Blizzards and the same mechanism! Just cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Consider the HW100 as well they are great 120 shot count from a .177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonc_here Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 The fn19 does about 70 shots in .22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant.mass Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 i would just go get a rapid 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 He'll struggle to get a decent Rapid for £600 without a bottle, and NV is out of the question too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkgoose Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) hi im going about this weekend looking at getting a falcon 19 or fn8 lighthunter or maybe a brock s6 . i cant seem to see any s410s below 500 and none have any bottles . i will travel as far as colchester or cambs but no further as im in acle nere yarmouth. oh and i would rather it be in .177 as im not likely to go fac anytime soon Edited March 28, 2015 by norfolkgoose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thought for you Norfolk Goose. 1) Hatsan AT44 can pick those up for about £300 new. 2) Hawke HD 3-9x40 AO, about £50 new 3) Mounts £20 ish new. 4) Studs - get those fitted when you pick up the rifle, Bipod £30 or so. 5) Bottle - Should be able to pick one up secondhand for £100 for a 3 litre 300 bar (or buy a pump). That is £500 leaving £100 for making an NV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkgoose Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 i had already looked at the hatsan but cant find one local to me for any less than 360 and thats only avalible in .22. but thanks for your input secretagentmole.

NorfolkAYA Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 How come you don't want a .22? I my self am looking at getting a PCP for rabbit control ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkgoose Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 The .177 is easier to shot for myself at the longer ranges and its so much easier when shooting when using nv where distance judgment is harder so the flatter trajectory off the .177 helps me remove a bit off margin for error. after all its about shot placement so don't feel the need for .22 at the moment as I don't plan on getting a ticket yet if I was going fac I would go .22 then. but thats just how I see it.

ant.mass Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 He'll struggle to get a decent Rapid for £600 without a bottle, and NV is out of the question too. i know where he can get a rapid 7 + a 3ltr 300bar bottle for £600 the nv i maybe help him out with that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
