rootintootinshooting Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 also would it be easy enough to fit a bi pod to this rifle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I don't think a bipod would be a good idea on a spring rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad93 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Why would you have a super short springer. Surely a PCP excels in every way here. A small ultra or hornet etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 My understanding is that the springer is far less sensitive to barrel length, i.e. a PCP makes better use of a longer barrel, but with a spinger it makes much less difference due to the fact that the spinger is using a short high pressure burst of a small vlume of air etc. Anyway, this rifle looks great. Its what the Webley Tracker could have been if it was made to a high standard. As a hunting rifle, it will certainly be accurate enough, but you might not find the side lever as convenient to reload as a break barrel. I get on fine with a TX200, but its not as good as a mag fed PCP for hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
