jeddy11 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi after picking up a Wildcat in my local RFD I have fallen for it but i i would have to trade up to afford it. I would be trading in my Brocock compatto .177 and my Hw97k .177 with john bowkett stage 1 tune probably at a rubbish price and pay the rest. Do you guys think the Wildcat is worth it James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I had to google the Compatto but know the HW brand very well, having owned a 30 ft lbs Wildcat now for a good few months I think the rifle is very very nice indeed and well suited to hunting despite a few niggles. Mine was inaccurate initially but after a visit to the importers who apparently re-barrelled it the accuracy has been up to the standard I would expect. Having said all this I personally don't think it's worth two such rifles and cash on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) hello, chopping in 2 very good rifles will no doubt not get a lot px for 1 would not be my idea but if you realy want may be sell private giving you more money and less cash required to buy the wildcat, good luck what ever you do Edited October 13, 2016 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmep Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 don't know about anyone else, but when i get the 'new gun itch' I seem to have to scratch it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 You wont get any more in the bag by buying the wildcat over your compatto,but when you want something its hard not to go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 What will the Wildcat do that none of your other, top notch, guns cannot? If it's a ********, sorry,pup then how many times have you honestly watched a Rabbit ,Pigeon , Rat or Corvid (delete as applicable) heading off into the sunset because your weapon is too long?(Ooooer mrs). Airguns have ,pretty much, reached their Zenith and you already have 2 guns capable of proving this - anything else is simply desire for a new Trinket - on the other hand you only live once and if you have the money.........

Kev1gun Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I would buy it,but not at the expense of the other 2, iv'e just bought a compatto to add to my collection hard to beat for the money. Wildcat is nice , but will it shoot tighter groups the the Compatto probably not, but I for one know what it's like when you want a new toy.

snipper Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sell the brocock ..... but always have a springer back up ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Better to concentrate on what and how you use the tools for rather than the tools themselves. How many do you know that have all the kit and no idea or the funds to use them fully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
