  1. After advice; .177 v .22 Gamo v Weihrauch, what to buy in Oz.

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    Hi everybody.

     

    I've moved to Oz and have a bit of shooting land, so I applied for my firearms licence.

     

    In the UK I used a BSA Ultra pcp, and a HW80 for rabbits. Now I'm in Australia I'm not limited by power and will buy a rim fire .22 and centerfire for Samba deer, but I first want to buy an air rifle for close range rabbits (ammo cost and noise).

     

    Does anybody on here have experience of air rifles in Australia as the options are limited. I'm trying to decide between Gamo IGT, or Weihrauch HW80 or what to buy.

     

    Any ideas, options?

     

    Cheers.

  8. Webley Vulcan KS .22

    Hey guys..

     

    Im putting my Webley Vulcan Karbine Sport up for sale.

     

    Its .22 and in good used condition. There are a few marks in the stock which probably could be ironed out.

    It shoots incredibly well, and due to its compact size ive often prefered it to my HW80.

     

    Im after £70 for it, id rather it was collected from Canterbury, but would post if really nec.

     

    Please email me on ********************or pm me if thats not allowed.

     

    Cheers

    I have a Vulcan too and absolutely love it.

     

    Its a KS model, a carbine sport in .22.

     

    I only bought it as I needed some high mounts that it was wearing, but got the gun, mounts, silencer, scope, bag, pellets, and a nice bag that now holds my silenced hw80 for £70 posted to my door.

     

    Its taken a few rabbits at decent ranges. It owes me nothing but I doubt i'll sell it.

     

    Bunybasher, if you did want to sell it let me know please.

     

    Personally I would say keep it.

    Im looking to try and sell a few on as I cant bare to leave them to rot.

     

    I have enough in the freezer for me, and still have more to clear. If selling is viable then I'll give it a go.

     

    Is there a recognised size/weight for sale?

  18. Which should I buy S410K....177 or .22?

    in Airgunners

    Have a look here. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=36946 These were all done with a .177.

     

    I think the pro's and cons are summed up in the 3rd picture. The top bunny in the 3rd piccy was taken at 55 yards, however, I did need the wind to stop blowing to achive it.

     

     

    So thats with a sub 12ft/lb s410 in .177.

     

    That is some fine shooting. From the pics I guess they dropped instantly.

     

    I will be definately going .177, now just have to decide beech/walnut, silencer, and scope!

     

    Cheers

    Hi Pin

     

    You are right mate, im after a definitive answer as to which calibre s410k to buy for rabbit shooting.

     

    When I went to my local shop they said .22 is the preferred gun, but those in the know say .177.

     

    I wont use it until im happy with my aim, also I have never hunted with .177.

     

    I am confused to say the least.

    Eh? Essentially you are asking ".177 or .22" though, you really are :look:

     

    You know which gun you want, you just can't decide on calibre!

     

    If it were me I would buy the .177, easier to get to grips with the trajectory than the .22. They are both as powerful as each other and will both kill to similar ranges, rabbits, squirrels and pigeon which is what you'll end up shooting.

     

    There is virtually nothing to choose between them, flip a coin :good:

     

     

    Yep that pretty much sums up what im after :good:

     

    It will be a S410K, I am used to .22 springers, but the .177 trajectory is appealing.

     

    I really would like someone to say get that one.
