    Hi guys,I was offered a Baikal IZ For nothing yesterday,from my friendly local publican.He says it comes with two five shot mags.The question is...As I've never heard of this,do I go back round today to collect it or give it a wide berth.Any Info would come in handy.Jim.

  6. QB th78d

    :good: :good: The 78 is a ok gun but limited amount of shots with the 12g canister, the 79 gives on average a 150 shots out of a 88g bottle. They can be tuned to a nice power but the shot rate will fall. Also when it's cold the co2 doesn't come out properly :yes:

    I'd say go for an XS79,in .22cal.You can convert them to be refillable(I've got one)Refill costs around 0.08p per fill.A great accurate little rifle if your willing to use some elbow grease on it.Jim.(NightOwl).

    hi if you have a look on here http://ukchineseairgunforum.myfreeforum.org/ you will be able to find out more about the smk rifles, as well as being a cheap economy rifle, there is the potential to smooth it out by tuning it, these guys are very helpful and will help you out loads. hope this helps.

    I just echo the things said in this thread.among my collection I have an XS79 and that shoots as straight as a Die.And did'nt cost the earth.(Just a bit of elbow grease).Jim.(Night Owl).

    to be honest if thats all you will use it for i would be tempted to get a 79 a 88g co2 i use one for the rats its not too powerfull but more than enough up to the job put a cheap laser on it and you are ready to go. Cheap and easy to modify i call them them a poor mans rapid :hmm:

    The XS79 is a great accurate rifle.It takes out Woodies,Rabbits and rats..Its just great with a bit a bit of T.L.C. Jim.

    Top tip!

     

    If the fermentation is too vigorous and the bubbling rises through the air lock, use an elastic band to secure a clean food plastic bag over the neck of the demijohn until the fermentation dies down a bit.

    A friend of mine used to fire his up by puting in a Half bottle of Admiral Morgans Navy Spiced rum(That stuff he made blew your socks off and melted the shoes you where wearing) :whistling: Jim.(Night Owl).

    Myself and my pal have just signed all the documents that allow us to be able to do all sorts of target/hunting(Damn Wabitts and Woodies). On part of an estate.We're allowed at the start 12 acres,and depending on where the landowner paddocks his animals we could then be allowed 15 acres.I think thats not bad for a first permission...Any thoughts?Once He's got used to us and us him.i would like to be able to invite a few members from here Who stay local.(Perm being permitted by the landowner) Jim.

    OK Been up twice now so thought I would do a quick write up.

     

    Went over on Saturday Morning and met up with John the owner he explained the set up and said he had a couple who were coming up shortly to the range as well. He pointed to a little track and said follow that till the roundabout and just help yourself to the range ill be up shortly. So I signed the standard disclaimer and declaration form and headed up the track he pointed to crossing the little burn on the way up the hill. And found the under cover shooting area.

    So I set up the logun and started plinking away the scope wasn’t miles away so started zeroing in and before long I was getting it on target no problem still not 100% happy with the scope though. The couple that were coming up appeared with John who gave them the safety speech showed them how it all works and we all continued shooting for the next hour and a half.

    After a 2 hour stint I had to go did have time to stop in to the litlle cafe and grab a bite to eat though. :blink:

     

    I went back up again on Monday (yesterday) with a mate this time. We pulled up at the estate office and headed for the reception where a young lady informed me that we needed to pre-book for the rifle range. I asked if John was around as I hadn’t booked on the Saturday (thought great I do have to book I only got on Saturday because that other couple were on at the same time). So into the coffee shop I went a quick hello to John and he said on you go just pop in to reception sign the paperwork and on you go see you when you get back. :unsure:

    After another hour the Logun had emptied itself of air so I moved onto the old QB78 still fantastic little rifle managed to get the target no problem at the full length of the range. John had informed me on the Saturday that he could fill my buddy bottle for me but on the way out he was in a meeting so I'll get him to fill it next time im up which wont be long as I had 2 great days up at the estate.
