CBS forum cant seem to find fac air rifles or won't let me in,will try air gun forum, don't mind rfd costs but would like full setup ie scope moderator dive bottle, seems to much to ask,just seen a career 707 fac,one in Durham not far from me,and one in cardigan,one is £580 I think and one is £280, yet both same rifles, Both on freeads.

Anyhow if I do manage to find something would be grateful for your advice if you don't mind, cheers hello, you might find second hand 300 bar bottle at a dive centre near you as you need a place to get air fill anyway, one of the cheapest places for a new one is go dive scuba, sales@godive.net, store around Derby but the 5 ltr is a good deal at £170 with free delivery, they have a range of bottles, you can pick up a bsa super 10 £200/£300, i was looking at a BSA R10 doing 28 ft lb, in 22 you should do 60 yard and 80 max, if the big shed roof is good steel sheet it should be ok, my friend has a super ten FAC in 22 , rabbits at 80 yards, i do not know any thing about the 707 but some on the UK forum have one, did you contact Ed on here, he has a gun shop and i would think give a good deal, the rapids from what i know are quite easy to service, but rather heavy rifles, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 you could also put a wanted add in the sales section on here, folk always get offered a few different things. But prices tend to be better at the gun shops as fac air rifles are harder to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look later and see if anything's for sale. @maxtich Hi tich, do you know of anyone selling an fac rapid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 If budget no problem buy a FX impact MK2 with slug liner X twist barrel in .22 or .25 Will take care of your needs, plenty of aftermarket bits and mods. Even buy a dual bottle adapter for double the air. Look on YouTube and see what the peeps are using. I wouldn't even consider a rapid if your budget will go to a FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
