Falcon Prairie opinions and PCP assistance please.

[cashy]

Good afternoon all, hoping I can receive some assistance from you please.

 

I was looking at upgrading to an AA Pro Sport for hunting but handled several rifles in the shop have come away with more questions than answers!

 

My budget is around £400 but handled a Falcon Prairie and was really comfortable with the vertical thumb rest in the stock. (excuse my ignorance I'm not sure what this is called on the stock) I was really taken with the comfort and so I guess it is now at the top of my list, albeit over what I was going to spend. So I wanted some feedback on the rifle, Classic barrel with multi shot and, having never owned a PCP, I will also need to purchase associated paraphernalia and wanted assistance on what I should be getting and rough costs please.

 

Apologies if this is all obvious but I coudn't find a topic answering these queries.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

As you'll have worked out the Falcon is a PCP which means you have to have a means of charging the air cylinder every so many shots.

This can be by way of a hand pump or a dive cylinder, Pumps are typically £150 upwards, Dive cylinders typically £180 upwards depending on size and pressure rating ie 232 or 300 bar.

 

PCP's are supposed to be nice and smooth, (I love my BSA R10 MKII) but no reason you cant shoot rabbits/pigeons witha basic springer, and you never gonna run out of air.

If you want to use a bipod, you'll find it easier with a PCP as it would be in the way of an underlever mechanism.

Find something you like and are comfortable with.

Get a Theoben Fenman, top gun! I would say that as I have one though!

I like my falcon fn12 sw but Fenman rocks
