steve_b_wales Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Has anyone got, or tried/used the above air rifle. A friend of mine asked me if I knew anything about it, but I don't. I believe though, that they are a good, reliable make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's going to get a Hills pump once he's got a PCP rifle. He wants it was a bit of ratting on his son in laws allotment and for feral pigeons in some stables that his daughter keeps a horse. To be honest, I'm quite impressed at what's on offer for such a low'ish price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Hi Steve, i've got one. It hasnt been used much, but seems pretty reliable to me so far. Comes with 2 magazines, a single pellet loading tray, nice clear scope, mod, 2 different combs and grips, and it;s easy to fill from a dive bottle. Good for plinking in the garden or knocking over rats. It's not regulated though so you need to figure out the sweet pressure spot and zero at that, or do what i did and assume it'll always be full/close to full and zero from there. Im no expert on air rifles mind you, but it does what i need it to! AB Edited July 14, 2021 by AlistairB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello steve, I can see the attraction but it would be the GX 40 for me, hills are good pumps but mine cost £20 , go on the UK AGF air gun forum and ask the members, also get some reviews on both, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
