Reeco I have no experience of FAC springers ( i wasnt even sure if you can buy a FAC Springer, i think you have to get the 12ft LB versions tunes. As for PCPs the Air ArmsS410xtra FAC version, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB. Reeco Good choice, IMO if your going to go for your FAC you have to go for a .17hmr, I was going to spend my money on a 12ft lbs aa s410, then i thought, no, ill go for the xtra FAC version, but then i thought, why stop there, get a .17hmr, Hi Daz and Rob, TYVM for taking the time to advise me.

Reeco Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi All, TYVM to all who have given me advice. I am going to buy a HW 80K. The reason behind this is, I am applying for an FAC Air Rifle. I have read over the last couple of days that the HW 80k is one of the best HW you can tune. ATB.

Reeco easy to tune up but after about 18ft/lb they become very inconsitant.... isome people might have found diffrent but that what i have found. hw80 have a urban myth of been un real power levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeco Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Ji All, Cheers for the Coupe. I have found a Theoben Eliminator in .22 FAC. It's a good price and if I put a deposit down the guy will hold it until I get my FAC air rifle ticket, so I think it will be an Eliminator for me. TYVM for everyones thoughts and input. ATB.

Reeco Not to pick hairs but isnt the Eliminator a gas ram and therfore not technically a springer? that being said if it is a gas ram it shouldnt wear out as easy and if you need a replacement ram theoben sell them so should relateively easy to replace yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
