deejay Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi all ,I have recently got my Fac through and I was wanting to invest in a Fac air rifle ,as some of my permission is near a couple of roads where there is a massive problem with rabbits .However I can sort them out with my s400 .177 at about 45 yards but there are some that just wont let me get that close to them even in the sit and wait routine . So could anyone tell me if it would be cheaper to buy a fac or convert the one I have . Regards Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Darren A S400 will probably cost between £40-£100 to convert, depending if you shop around and do it yourself, or send it off (excluding carriage)! Now then, how much do you think a new FAC rifle will cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now then, how much do you think a new FAC rifle will cost? Just been looking at the price of an fac air s410extra for £425 and the s410 I seen was going for £500 doesnt figure does it . I have at the minute got a s400 .177 and only have a .22 for air on my ticket so I need a .22 So I would have to buy .22 then convert .......its looking like it will be cheaper just to buy fac .
