chrisjpainter Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Any one reccomend a good moderator for them i'm like a big kid looking forward to getting hold of it now Just had a look at it on the trade section, looks like a good little gun! Personally I am a big fan of the Weihrauch silencer. but looking at the pics, it seems to come with one, so before you go out buying one, check to see how well the BSA one works - it might just save you £60. If you want to replace the scope, a good place to start is something like a 3-9x40 scope from hawke, nikko stirling or simmons! enjoy it! what will you be using it for?

chrisjpainter Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Thanks karlie yeah chris i'm gonna give her a good testing lolmy mate has a perm that is crawli.g with squizzers and a few phesants i was looking at H&N barracuda hunters not sure if there any good try a few, find out what works best in your gun. Heavy pellets give good stopping power - always handy for squizzers - but not so good on the range front. Having said that, My gun is zeroed at 35yds and I've never shot over 50yds and the range issue isn't really a big problem. I use Bisley magnums, which are a heavy domed pellet, but have had good results with H&N Field and Target Trophy pellets and AA diabolo fields. you can get a few sample packs that have different types in them; these work well! Light pellets have a flatter trajectory so are easier to shoot, heavier ones have the heavier impact.

tezza28 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm voing.to order a few sample packs as mole said the crosman premium mags diabolo fields and bisley magnums are going to be top of the list can't wait i hate sqizzers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Silencers, Twinks work well, surprisingly the BSA Variable Choke Moderator works well too, just make sure you get the .22 insert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezza28 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Will do mole i like the sound of the twink silencer (or in this case lack of sound lol) i fancy trying the poly mag predators in 22 any one used them ?

secretagentmole Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) I found SAKs sounded like a metallic passing of lower digestive tract gas, apparently f arts are offensive! A Twink is quieter! Twinks are available from A&M Customs Gunsmiths! Edited October 27, 2012 by secretagentmole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 On an air rifle Yep. I have a BSA Ultra, BSA Scorpion and Crosman [spit] 2240. All wear SAKs. I found SAKs sounded like a metallic passing of lower digestive tract gas, apparently f arts are offensive! A Twink is quieter! I didn't say that it was the *quietest*. (I do *have* a Wienrauch but prefer the SAKs.) What I *said* was that they were easy to clean (no miscellaneous junk inside and come apart easily), all metal and short. The "short" bit is important to me since a don't like long guns. Regards, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 The SAK works, but the Twink is not that much longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 The SAK works, but the Twink is not that much longer! I've got to admit that I don't know anything about the Twink. The SAK was about as cheap as an effective moderator got and seemed to do the job. I tried firing my .177 Scorpion "sans SAK" in the back garden on one occaision - I won't be trying *that* again in a hurry... Regards, Mark.

tezza28 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 For 50 quid the twink silencer is going to be hard to beat is th weirauch silencer on par with the twink ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Depends, some gun/silencer combinations work well, the HW on an HW100 is very good, the Twink gets close on an HW, but not quite as effective to my ears. But on my BSA the Twink works better! It is very subjective and certainly 25-30 metres away the pellet will be making more noise than the gun!

tezza28 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Can't wait to get my hands on this gun i have so much planned a bipod new moderator new sights (eventually) and a rowan multi shot kit !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
