louisvanhovell Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hi, Any CO2 lovers on this forum? There must be lots of Crosman Ratchatchers around, and QB78s. I've recently discovered the world of CO2 rifles. Previously I had always dismissed them. Didn't like the idea of having to buy capsules, and I thought they were more like toys. Well, they are the most fun to shoot guns in my collection. I've now got a Crosman 180, 160 and 400. And an SMK QB78 which has been nicely tuned by the previous owner. I've never hunted with CO2 yet. It gives me a lot of joy to shoot shaken up cheap beer cars at 60 yards with the opens. They explode nicely. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I’ve a qb78 that I use to intro the kids to shooting nice simple bolt action accurate and recoiless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulinlincs Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Love co2. A tuned qb78 is my go to rifle. Best of both worlds. Recoiless but with no need for a tank or pump to fill it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I love CO2. Watching the bubbles rise gently through a lovely chilled pint of homebrew is a great experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remimax Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 got a couple of QB78s after a tune and polish both running at 11ft/bs and very accurate with RWS superdome pellets in .22. tried loads of pellets but the RWS seem to group the best. cheap little finger index mag upgrades for these little rifles are ok as well.

paulinlincs Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I tried the RWS but couldn't get them to group. Crossman accuples for me. Shows how important it is to try different ammo even in the same brand and model of gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
