bunny buster Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 NO get the chnise version (QB78) cheeper and more powerful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Sam Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I have shot one, a few points: Power, about 9-10ft/lb. Scope mounts aweful, the barrel is so thin it bends with a big scope on. Breech is plastic.... Not very good all round I'm afriad. to get out jammed CO2, just take out CO2 loading rod, cock the gun, point downwards in a safe direction and pull the trigger. The cartirge will be knocked out fine. Done that quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 was thinking of hunting then heard of the power is it up to standard aswell then? steve the power i think is 11+ ftlbs The one i had never went over 10ft lb on the chrono..It was very accurate but i wouldnt fancy using one much over 25 metres. Good on rats and close range pidgeons.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeihrauchPower Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 There are NO sub £180 (brand new that is) air rifles powerful and accurate enough to be used as a hunting rifle! BUY a decent secondhand rifle if you intend to take the lives of animals! All these Chinese rifles are rubbish, as are anything CO2 powered!

All these Chinese rifles are rubbish, as are anything CO2 powered! That's not true. A BSA Supersport is both powerful and accurate enough. I paid £150 for mine. I'm sure there are other guns in the same price bracket that will do the job. I have a Crosman 2240 CO2 pistol that's fine for ratting.

All these Chinese rifles are rubbish, as are anything CO2 powered! Quite frankly I have to ask of your experience with a tuned CO2 rifle, Chinese or otherwise. I rate my tuned XS78 .22 as on a par with my Air Arms S400 .22 Classic. The S400 build quality is certainly superior but so it should be in a gun that costs over £300 compared with one that cost £79. Yet after spending a worthwhile £50 having the XS78 tuned, I rate them shot for shot as rabbit hunters. If your experience is different then fair enough, that's you, but to blandly state all CO2 and all Chinese guns are rubbish is a statement without foundation and one with which thousands of users would disagree!

Obviously some people have found good deals on decent air rifles! I'm pretty sure you've found the only example of a near 12ft/lb hunting rifle for less than £180! So your tuned CO2 rifle is near 12ft/lb, regulated and has the accuracy of Air Arms My only intentions with that post were to stop people from buying useless underpowered air weapons as hunting rifles and heading out into the fields only to discover everything they hit runs or flies away injured, or in the case of a B2 completly unscathed.
