UKPoacher Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Check out the Chinese airgun forum and you'll see that they get their QB guns up to 11 ft/lb with an hour's polishing of the valve and innards. Yanks get 30lb plus with a few modifications. If these aren't adequate hunting tools then please point me in the direction of something that is.

poorpeet Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks for all the replies and opinions. I'll get a 78 and spend some time tuning it and see how it goes. There's a guy near me that does them for £79 new! For that money and with the ease of tuning it's a no brainer really! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron airgunner Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Having hunted squirrels and pigeons with CO2 rifles all last winter (QB79 & QB78) I can confirm that the power does change slightly. However, before you start hunting, if you take time to put two rested shots in a target at a known distance you can adjust the scope a few clicks and the rifle will be as accurate as you need it to be. Don't let it put you off. You can get one for less than £100 and it will serve you well. also, if your budget permits, see if you can get a pcp. these are more expenisve but dont vary as much, if at all.

ryantidgwell Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Really? as with a PCP or a springer, a properly zeroed Co2 rifle (this one was chron'd @ 11.5lbs) they are just as effective, regardless what people think. This is from experience, not guess work. what gun is that cant seem to find them online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 off the top of my head it was a crossman bucaneer (spel). its beenon sale a few times on here, and a very good gun it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
