secretagentmole Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 You cannot own one without a license, so have you an FAC certificate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickerup Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 You cannot own one without a license, so have you an FAC certificate? Yes I have. Looking for a light air rifle in fac most are to big and to heavy to carry around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yes I have. Looking for a light air rifle in fac most are to big and to heavy to carry around. get yourself a Daystate Huntsman Classic ( not regal ) in .22 running at 30ftlb, nice and light ,a very very accurate rifle and light enough to carry round all day, a superb rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks for the reply evo will wait for the shooting show and see if I can find a good 2nd hand one, all the best mate p/u. no problem,, I had the chance of buying a mk1 huntsman in fac for £275 but ended up getting a new one at the midland fair, They truelly are an awesome rifle and in fac you should be able to pick one up for no more than £350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 The Huntsman Classic is a lovely gun, the wife had one in left hand format (her being left eye dominant and ambidextrous), great gun, very quiet, only in FAC I think your shot count is going to be a tad on the low side. The Daystate though is built like no other gun (assuming you get a good one). They really are exceptionally built, designed to be as efficient and as quiet as possible. (Evo is probably going to faint here), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lampwick Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Not sure about the Royale but I have the Verminator in FAC and it's very good. Light, accurate and compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
