rarms Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Here is my baby With NV sight With new longer barrel and Logun silencer: Red, got mine for £250, plus £30 for silencer, £75 for barrel, £20 for custom brass hammer, harris is off another gun, and the NV sight was £250. These prices are secondhand or as new. I wouldnt buy one new as Gunpowers UK customer service is useless and nothing is to be gained from the warrenty. Another reason to buy as secondhand one is that if you get one which has been tuned then you have saved yourself a lot of trouble. This is part of the reason they are not that popular as work needs to be done tuning them to get them anywhere near the quality one expects from an out of the box gun.

red_stag88 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Just wondering, to furturistic for me. Did you know ('cept for the scope) all the materials for that gun would cost about £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarms Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 >Did you know ('cept for the scope) all the materials for that gun would cost about £100 There is a fair bit of work involved in taking it from a £100 pile of metal to the gun :thumbs: However you are right in that it is a simple enough gun, but that is why it is so easy to tune Take a baikal O/U and a beretta O/U material cost is similar (other than type of wood) yet you pay more for one than the other Everything has a price innit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I turned a Stealth down to buy my Falcon. I don't know what it is about them (and the S16), but I just don't trust a take-down rifle to be as accurate as a fixed barrel system. Mind you, I got my FN12 Raptor Lighthunter for 350 with a QF silencer and a simmons 3-9x40, so I was _very_ happy with it. Where did you get the NV sight from?

leon Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Stealths are spot on, i have a very early one from new just for ratting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarms Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Got an 8inch Falcon too and they are a much better gun for normal shooting. The stealth just has its uses, i.e. singleshot simplicity(no worries to find the right way round for a mag quickly in the dark), loads of rails for laser and IR illuminator, and its alloy so it can go out to play in the rain. Got the scope secondhand of the www.airgunbbs.com board and it is by far the best Gen 1 scope I have tried, especially with a deben lamp and IR filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northy Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 I don't know what it is about them (and the S16), but I just don't trust a take-down rifle to be as accurate as a fixed barrel system. to be honest with you i havent the same expirence with shooting so many differant air rifles as you lot seem to have, so i cant compare to other rifles but with my stealth i shoot 5p coins from 45m and rerley miss, i think thas has to be good, doesnt it?

BIG BILL Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Is the Stealth still kicking ***, I have just added a topic about wanting to buy a sweet 16 and had not really thought about the Stealth, I may aswell give it a look. Cheers BIG BILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Docherty Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 i take it its co2 powered, where do you load the pellets? and are there many others like it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 No its air JL, you slide the breech cover forward, push a pellet straight into the start of the barrel and slide the cover back and lock it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
