karpman Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have recently required a new airgun Rws excalibre in .22 fac. This gun caused me an awful lot of grief but we got there in the end! Since getting the gun running right and refinishing the stock I have been chomping to get out and do a bit and four trips have been unsuccessful, not disheartened I returned to a perm just down the road from work were I have trapped a great many squizzers. The main action is around the huge barn, and with the rain lashing down I knew I was in with a chance . Quick chat with the landowner and he highlighted a particular problem with doves, upon entering around 20 exited lol. Quick scan round and a squizzer was soon found hankering on a girder bam perfect head shot and first blooding for the rws, no sooner had I collected it when some doves returned a 40 yard chest shot doing the business with a girder for a back stop. Made it back to work in time for a cuppa too! Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice gun by the way Love mine mate adjustable power, 30 shots at 30ftlb and was 250 notes off the shelf. Easy as muck to service zeroed at 42 yards at 30ftlb giving flat shooting from 10 to 50 yards and the knock down power is superb.

karpman Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Your selling it to me...can you "upgrade" a normal air rifle PCP to FAC Air? Probably but you will shred pounds off the resale value mate not recommended. Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazyapp Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Good shooting mate, I used to own one of those rifles..... Managed to find a synthetic stock (by pure chance) at a local gun shop that fitted. Wish I had never sold it!! Deadly accurate!!
