RDP Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Anyone found a supplier in Warwickshire/Gloucestershire area that are doing it for £69? Edited June 23, 2015 by RDP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have ordered one from the shop in Kent £69+£25 rfd, my local shop wanted £130 the guy in the shop in Kent said " We are not greedy" just goes to show what profits others are making. What .22 pellets do you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Someone recommended the H&N pellets, I am using Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums at present... what is the weight of this hatsan? And how well does it group? Im tempted! Weight is a mere 3kg, or 6 and a half pounds, unscoped, it has an integral silencer/cocking aid too!

Danger-Mouse Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I was down at Brown`s yesterday. Had a quick nosy at the Hatsan and it seemed alright to me but as I know pretty much nothing about air rifles I can`t really make any serious comments on what it`s like. Asked air rifle John what he thought of it and he reckoned it was excellent value for money. Said he`d run it through it`s paces and it consistently generated 11.5 ft/lb. I may well pick one up in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Someone on the BBS took a mosey over to Browns and bought 2 of the 900s in .22! Reckoned he is going to use those as loan guns so if a friend asks if they can borrow a gun they get lent a 900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Its a great shop with great people. +1 Agreed, always helpful and friendly. Plus, they`re not out to rip you off. Obviously they have to make a profit but they`re not greedy. They have a good business model, make a little profit on a sale and keep the customer coming back for more purchases.

SAM, what is the small clip screwed on to the barrel for, near to the grooved dovetail? what mounts did you use on yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Small clip on the barrel? There is an arrestor plate on the dovetails, there is no clip on the barrel, have a look see! See the small plate to the rear of the action, that means your scope will not be shaken backwards off the gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Quite why they put it on is a mystery, the recoil is not that bad, an untuned HW77 is worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblies Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Picked one up and I've not used an airgun in 30years. Utter bargain at 69 notes. Picked up from Countryway. Lovely place they have in Kent. It seems the wood varies in finish, we were amazed when we opened the box to find a dark wood with some nice grain. I was looking at a SMK B2 for plinking but this is streets ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 SAM and the other owners of the 900x, how are your groupings coming along? Why did you get the .22 rather than the .177? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 My groupings are half to three quarters of an inch at 27 yards. Depends on me and on conditions. I am looking at changing ammo to H&N as they seem to work really well in it. Why did I get a .22? Simply put I think spring powereds are better in .22!

I thought most people (on PW) these days err on .177 in sub 12 ftlb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Simple the mechanism on a .22 does not have to shove as much air up the barrel, meaning that recoil and piston slam is less. A .177 needs more air to get the lighter weight pellet up to speed. This can cause harsh recoil as stronger springs are used and pistons are travelling faster at the end of the stroke. .177 is brilliant in PCP rifles and I have a .177 PCP.
