mr_jack Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 i recieved the my theoben sirocco 2000 through the post today from parcel force, on opening the theoben boxed i was amazed on how small the rifle is, then came my second shock, this was when i picked her up, the rifle felt extremely comfortable, light and very pointable. i have always like the idea of gas ram rifles and were better to start than the mighty theoben company i recieved 2 tins of pellets with my swap and some ben taylor samples who tuned the rifle last october... i took the rifle out for a few shots today in the sun, i was abit worried about the recoil as i have heard different views on the recoil produced from a standard powered gas ram, i shoulder the sirocco and fired off my first shot........ the rifle is as smooth as my aa tx200hc .177 if not smoother, the lock time is very quick with not vibration at all, and acurracy is top notch... i recieved what looks like a saphire 3-9x40 with the mounts aswell so it is a complete setup, i spoke to the fella on the fone and he sounded like a good fella to do a swap with, am over the moon that i acepted i love the look and feel of my new theoben , and it will be used as my main ratter, i am going to redo the stock when i get the know how, so any tips on this would help us bigtime am off to play with my new toy pics to come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
