The rifle in question was a Titan jb1 , luckly enough one of the fella's that owned titan air arms lived in our village ... blah blah blah ..

roblade Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 how much you looking to spend? as for the titan JB1 that would be the fore runner of falcon rifles, and the JB would be John bowket (deseinger of the BSA S10 and possibly the hornet) could onyl guess at the 1 being the first model he did for titan rifles. If you want something similar with a proven track record falcon rifles can still be bough today, design hasnt changed too much and they come in multi shot or single shot. But i would advise you to find out where your local club is and pop along to try as many rifles as posisbel before yo0u part with any money, rifles have improved slightl;y since your last PCP rifle, some for the better, but some for the worse. The onyl rifles i wouldnt touch are anything by logun or anything by gunpower, they are the only two companies i wouldnt touch. hope this helps you out a bibt ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 When i shot pcp airrifles i owned at one time or another a lot of pcp's. Ones i would personally reccommend are the air arms400/410, air arms s200, mk1 theoben rapid and fx2000. All dfepends on whether you want a carbine/multi shot /single shot etc and also how much you want to pay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertyandlivelihood Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Dont get a left handed rifle............Get one with an ambi stock as it will be easier to sell on if you ever decide too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 AA S310, the one before the 410. I'm left handed and got the ambi stock. Lovely gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've been using the Daystate to good effect on the local rabbit population, opted for the left handed version as I didn't buy with a view to selling on. If you aren't committed to keeping a PCP long term buying a gun with an ambidextrous stock makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Daystate Harrier X2. Get the ambi stock. Send off to daystate for the left hande bolt................dont forget the left handed mechanism that you need to change in the cocking mechanism. Easy to fit...........or be fitted if your not that confident. Job done. Keep the parts............and job done...........you can sell it as either............

I've not made my mind up yet , as i have to go an try a "few" guns , but i am leaning heavily towards the Daystate rifles as they are looking after us lefty's streight off the bat have to say that acording to BAR web site a left hand S410/400 is only £15 extra. not that i find the daystate ambi stocks uncomfortable. try as many rifles as possible and let us know what you think f the ones you do get to try, nothing beats an honest opinion of a new shooter ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 rapid 7 mk 1 is unbeatable as a bunny basher and most of them have an ambi stock for cak handed people like yourself plinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Looks like i'm number 3 in the "Mr. Magoo" club How do you find it affects your judgement of distance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 snakebite, i have very little sense of depth when i look at things and have to guess distance, this really did effect my shooting at first but i reckon i have adjusted pretty well now and i am an average shot (shotgun) which i reckon is pretty good for a one eyed tw~t. plinker (magoo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Being like this from day 1 I don't have anything to compare it to, but I am sure this is what makes distance judging a little harder for me. Still I am getting better and hopefuly will continue to do so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
