AA say you should get around 20 shots per fil, any others out there that will give me more shots? Gibby Mine gives me about 25-30 shots before I refill and that's before you'd notice any real drop in power. Different guns give different power out at different amounts of gas left. Mine shoots with the most power at around 160 bar (36 f/lbs) even though it takes up to 200 bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby I'm sorry but I got a message box come up from you which disappeared as soon as I clicked to see the whole thing. I'm not sure how to deal with seperate message boxes (how to get them back again etc) so I'm replying in the normal way. From the little bit of it I could see I think that you were asking what I paid for it. I bought it around 2 years ago and paid something like £550 for it. Fantastic difference in range and accuracy over the 12 ft/lb rifle I had before and I've had clean head shots on bunnies at 70M but I would normally keep it down to 55-60M. The only real complaint that I have about it is the weight. Standing shots are virtually impossible due to the huge gas cylinder under the barrel but the land I use has loads of posts to lean on (or you could get a bipod) What price is the one you're looking at. New or second hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibby Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 It's second hand buying from a friend, is asking around £350-£400 for it. Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby I was told to expect around £300 for mine if my LFD sold it on my behalf and it's in great nick. I'll probably keep it for a while.

deadeye ive Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Aldo is spot on and I can echo similar opinions based on EXPERIENCE with this firearm .For some reason I could get up to 50 shot's before the guage dropped below 100 bar .It's less than that now and 35 is a more realistic figure but if you do aquire this rifle then from a fresh charge set up 5 targets and put 10 shots in each and make a mental note what the first 10 do ,then middle then the last 10. I know i have shot more rabbits with this rifle than my previously owned .22LR I paid £468 7 years ago .£250-300 would be a fair price if it's in good nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also incredibly lightweight, real good looking and oh-so accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipster Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have the 310 and love it, 37ftlbs bipod is a cert as they are quite heavy. Pellet choice is a big thing, when i first got mine i was advised to use a heavy pellet but i found these no use and now use a lightweight Air Arms but im sure its the same as sub 12ftlbs its what suit you best. Im sure you wont be disapointed PS approx 25 shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I don't have one but I have taken some cracking shots with one. I have the slot on the old ticket, and despite feverish research I can't find a single reason not to buy one too. I am told the new HW is much quieter, but its barrel is too long 24", I am clumsy enough without smacking the barrel all over the jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
