rayo Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Afternoon guys I'm currently pondering on trading in my hw97. 177 towards a used fx. 22 wildcat mk1. My other pcps are Hw100 and bsa r10se both in. 177 so I fancy using a. 22 for a change and input on a wildcat would be greatly received thanks. Mrs says why do you need that many guns for but she doesn't understand this shooting bug many of us seem to have 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 I think @bruno22rf had a wildcat, seem to think he didn't get on with it because of the scope height, I could be wrong though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your'e on the money as usual Mice. Good looking guns but terrible build quality once you remove the stock plus the scope sits far too high above the barrel, you need to be bang on with range estimation and trajectory or any targets 5 yards either side of your zero are a lottery. The S410/510 are totally boring, but miles ahead of the Wildcat at every level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 So as much as I hate agreeing with bruno . A sub 12 .22 bullpup can make range to target critical . But as for reliability .my .25 cal had been nothing but spot on for the last 8 years . Never skipped a beat and its awesome out to 100 yds .then again I've never messed with mine . Hardly even taken the stock off .this I think may be crucial to the reliability . Of the one your looking at looks like it's been played with (especially the reg ) I'd leave alone this goes for most fx guns to be fair and especially the impacts . My 2p worth .

Mr.C Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) without wanting to hijack the thread.... I have my scope deliberately mounted high on the 22. Just shy of 3" Range to 15yds is a challenge but 15-45yds is 0.6 mildots with an apogee at 25yds. Edited July 19, 2023 by Mr.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hello, how about a P15 ? I've never been a fan of short air rifles but with a Bob P 3 D adjustable stock it fits the scope alignment and good shot count, am getting use to the back lever loader, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
