Hi All,

 

4 months ago bought AA Prosport FAC in walnut.......not getting on with it....decision made I am getting rid of it,,,,and getting PCP

 

My options are either AA PCP or Weihrauch PCP.

 

So I'm thinking either Hw100T in walnut or AA S510 Xtra FAC ultimate sporter.

 

I'm not too sure about the laminate stock but it's supposed to be a great gun.....I'm probably edging a bit on the HW100T walnut as it's regulated and just looks better

 

Appreciate any feedback

I don't know of a single gun that has a worse reputation as an FAC gun than the HW100! It's amazing as a sub12 gun. But from what people have said it's an endless tale of woe when it's got FAC power in it. I'd go with the S510 Extra. If you're after a regulator, it's easy enough to find someone to whack one in!

or you could go for a HW100 sub 12 in .177

if you have to have the FAC for an air rifle anyway, I'd go with something with more oomph. Plus, if the Super Sporter xtra is the same as the S510 xtra, it has a variable power system, so you can set it to sub 12 when the need arises

I have a HW100 S in sub 12 0.22 its an excellent tool at that power (11.6) but everything I've heard from PW members says it's a bitch in FAC.

 

Hang on a while tho Evo will be along extolling the virtues of Daystate which gives you a third choice assuming you leave hw100 on on your list, personally in FAC I would scratch it off

 

Edit = Another thing to consider if you go for HW100 is if you don't get on with it you may have a job moving it on.

I have a s510 extra FAC, it doesn't need a regulator as it is consistent anyway but the power adjuster is too coarse to be properly repeatable so I choose what power I want to shoot it at then use a dab from a glue gun to fix the knob in position as I found it moved sometimes and you never notice until you miss some rabbits but can't understand why.

Sha Bu Le,

 

AA for me over the HW in FAC,, but you know me,,huntsman classic running at 30ftlb is the ultimate tool and nice and light also

 

or an untouched Rapid

 

Hens teeth anyone ? Every Rapid I have ever come across has been "touched" !

 

I'd agree with evo, Huntsman Classic is light, well balanced and sweet to shoot. Or if you want more shots, find a decent Air Ranger. I wouldn't bother with a wibbly wobbly barreled Air Arms :lol:

Even so, HW100 and treat it to A&M cylinder !

 

I use my huntsman at 30ftlb and it gives 28/30 shots which is plenty for hunting !

Trouble is at FAC the HW100 has a dreadful reputation for reliability and more important accuracy
