kent Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 So about the energy of a .22 mag Electronics not waterproof and 300 ft lb as stated is way off being deer legal and not even half the smallest CF rifle round. there have been a few super high power one off PCPs previously (way more umph than this) as specials and that is how they should remain " freaky one offs" a toy for the enthusiast= production gun? Oh yeah, who the heck at ASI is going to get the sack if they bring in more than a couple. I cant see many RFDs wanting to get hold of them special bullets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreco Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I know very little about air rifles and rifles in general but seeing that thing shooting the rabbit didn't look that powerful to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washerboy Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Watch the ***** shoot a ram and then leave it down before walking over to check it's dead. Not my cup of tea that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm less than impressed with "Team Wild", but then again I'm not their target audience, I left school many years ago. Now, I know that there is a difference between momentum and energy, and heavier bullets do kill big game, but this rifle ( tested at just over 200ft-lb by Team Wild ) is roughly equivalent to a .38 Special target load. Surely no responsible hunter would use such a cartridge on anything bigger than a fox ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Team wild is just a sales platform.. Utter rubbish.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprackles Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I watched another one of his videos where he was wild pig hunting in USA. He was killing them with head shots at 40 yards. The disturbing part of that video was where the dogs cornered a pig and the hunters then grappled it down and tied its legs up and left it so they could come back later and kill it then to stop the meat spoiling.I can see the logic but to me that's just plain wrong.....nothing humane or sporting about that at all. I was quite disgusted at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I see very high power air rifles as an exercise in technical possibilities. I have yet to find one that has ANY cost/performance advantage on any other rimfire/centrefire available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) How can any serious hunter do anything but bow down in awe at the mighty hero that is Mr Harford? To kill a tiny pig with a sword takes enormous balls-wish I were a fraction of the man. Edited January 11, 2014 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
