Martin&Oakley Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Well, I went in for a stoeger x20s and came out with a Browning Phoenix Elite with an AGS 3-9 40 mil dot sight and a tin of wasps for the grand sum of £175. Budget was £150 however it was the only .177 in the shop, so it had to be fate. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin&Oakley Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Just looking through the technical booklet. There are 3 types of Phoenix elite, 2.4879, 2.4880 and 2.4881. My concern now is they have different power levels(if that's the right terminology) 7.5J, 16J and 24J. I think mine may be the 16J one as its rated at about 780fps which would match the price tag?

Dekers Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Don't really know this one at all, some longer term feedback would be interesting. Who on earth makes these, surely not Browning, are they Chinese/Turkish/Spanish? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin&Oakley Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Just been in the garden having a little play. my back stop is my summer house and i was firing from my nice warm, dry kitchen(to keep noise level down) Apologies there's no pics, its hammering it down and my piece of paper is now pulp. Range 25yds using wasp pellets. 5 shots: 1st was 2 inches from aiming point, high. 2nd bang on 3rd snatched and went wide 4th and 5th within 1 inch bar the snatched shot all shots where in a perfect vertical line. I'm going to bring it down 1 or 2 clicks and that should be me. really really happy, cant wait to get it out in the field along with the 12g. oh and i need to get the gym, break barrels are a beast lol.
