I never thought a air rifle would be capable of that accuracy out to and beyond 100metres :( I would love a pre-charged air rifle like that only for it would be another €38 every year for licence could be €170 next year if finance minister down here has his way There fairly big money for a decent pre-charged rifle in the very few shops that stock them in the republic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
