  1. The power is adjustable with the valve stem mod and I keep it to below the legal 12flp limit
  2. Moded Stealth 0.177/0.22 (Advertised on other forums) SOLD I have reluctantly decided to sell my modified Gunpower Stealth. The kit is in very good used condition overall with the exception of the 0.177 silencer which has a small area of paint missing but it just needs a spot of matt black paint on it. The basic kit is Stealth rifle with a retro fitted 0.177 Air Arms Barrel. BSA SWF 6-24 x 44 scope Harris “type” bipod Original 0.22 Walther barrel with the original fitted bushes Laptop bag Stealth tin can silencer 1 Silencer 0.177 specific Charging adaptor Green Laser kit Original spring and extra packing pieces The modifications are Leupy’s Stainless Steel spring and nylon bushes Leupy’s stem power adjustment system (see photo) Trigger over travel limiting screw £350 + post and pack I would prefer a face to face or I will travel up to 40 miles.

    Anglo American

    Hi all I am sorry that this is a bit late but that’s my fault. Next weekend on the 6 and 7 Redfearns F.T.C. we will be holding the Anglo American 2 day event. The “Anglo†is a 2-day event initially aimed at Field Target Air Rifle shooters but over the last 5 years it has included Hunter Field Target shooters as well. There are 2 air rifle course, Anglo 50 targets from 8 to 55 yards and the American 25 targets at the same ranges shot twice each., day one you shoot one course then the next day you shoot the other. The difference is the size of the kill zones. If you’re a true hunter you will know how hard it is to get the right hold UNDER at 8 yards so think how hard is to hit a 10mm kill zone at that range. As an air gun pigeon shooter myself I want to invite everyone out there along to the Anglo American The Anglo is a true fun event there are some people who want gold but the rest 95% just want a day in the wood gabbing plus there is a total prise fund of over £2500 Our host farmer has given us a huge camping plot and I have ordered fantastic weather so if you want to come along let me know ASAP P.S. the prize fund stands at over £2500 which means everyone who puts in a card for entry is virtually odds on to win a prize. (not garenteed)
  4. I've had both and I have just bought another TX for target shooting so that should say which I prefer thought they are both excellent rifles.

    First Springer

    Youve got a great deal there, I would also upgrade your scope though.

    silencers

    I would stick with the AA one the differance is minimal.
  7. Just a thought mate but have a look at the Airgunbbs site for more specialised information on the Lightening.
  8. Hi all I am back to the woodies after a good time away.

    GAMO CFX

    Hi Mate When I get a new gun I normally get a Pellpax set to try out all the available pellets but I always come back to Air Arms Diablo’s.

    GAMO CFX

    Hi I can recommend the CFX as I had one until fairly recently. The ABS version is light weight and accurate and the trigger is a lot better than most budget priced springers I have used.
  12. Hi If you have a bit of time try a trial pack from Pellpax. Depending of the calibre you get over 30 different pellets to try to find the best for your gun. Having tried a Pellpax set though only confirmed what I all ready knew Air Arms or the Daystate give the best consistency in both my AA S400 and Hornet 0.177 rifles. Hope that helps. http://www.pellpax.co.uk/
  13. Hi It’s only my opinion but the Air Arms S400 or the BSA Hornet are the ones to look at. The AA s400 is as accurate as any priced a lot higher but it isn’t regulated, the Hornet is regulated (DURR). The Hornet is consistent due to the regulator but not as light as the AA S400 and not quite as accurate (slight small difference) but it come on aim quicker (for me). Both are really good value for the money. Can I also put you of multishot rifles, after the first shot the Woodies are lofted and rushing for a second shot isn’t really an issue and its not worth paying a lot extra for the multishot capability. PS I’ve owned and used both.
