Rockhamster Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) If you need to ask then I may suggest that, if you really wanted it, you would now have it already. So many to choose from at about the same price break. To say one is 'better' than another is a misnomer, at best. We all prefer certain things but that does not make it better in the true sense. You obviously like something about this rifle in particular, which others may not see, and that may dampen your enthusiasm. Buy it, is you want it. Your decision, your cash. I hope you get pleasure with whatever you end up with. Edited May 9, 2021 by Rockhamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hello, £150 should get you a hatsan 900x and basic hawke scope, fit a TBT tuning kit £20 and jobs a good one, mine liked Superdome pellets, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasher Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 The fact is the power produced by the Patriot is out weighed by it's lack of accuracy. My experience of them (although limited) is that they would'nt shoot accurately beyond 35yrds or so, in which case a sub 12ftlb gun would surfice.

Rockhamster Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 What is this obsession with 'tuning', often before even the first shot? Buy a rifle of your choice, spend some cash on a tin of pellets and see how you get on. 'Accuracy' will only come with practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Might be better off with an eliminator, easier to adjust the power to find a sweet spot, which will probably be around 20ft lb in .22, they’re beautifully engineered with a fine stock. I’m not really a fan of mechanical fac powered air rifles, but I think out of what’s available, the eliminator is probably the best? They can be picked up for a couple of hundred, which for the build quality and finish isn’t bad value. Their 12ft lb Theoben equivalents go for a lot more than that, and for good reason.
