Jim McArthur Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 ooooh wots that??? is it an airgun or an actual shooter? deano I shoot air guns AND cartridge guns, and I can assure you that air guns ARE "actual shooters".

Jim McArthur Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 tha is really nice think id get meself into trouble with that lol think ill stick to my daisy deano I know what you mean, Deano! I'd want one, though, if I lived in the UK. I'm interested in hearing your report about the 717, as I'm thinking about getting a 747. The only air pistol I have now is a Beeman P3 (same thing as the HW40). It's an excellent pistol, but too muzzle light for me. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanomk3cje Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 hi jim reporting about the 717, such a joy to use athough have not shot any other pistol it feels like it should cost 5x more than it actually does reall well built and is really quite accurate! mainly shooting at paper targets on my shed it goes through the wood on the shed at arond 3-4 metrs away would reccomend to anyone that would ask! that fun to use got through 400 1.77 bulldog pellets in the freezing cold today i enjoyed using it that much i forgot i was actually cold! its got no blowback on it at least thats what i think it is (doesn't kick back when shot)? absolute dream! overall a very powerful accurate and very quiet! my honest oppinion is go get one you wnt be dissapointed! unsure how local you are to my wouldnt mid making u you a tea/coffee and have an approval shot before you buy one? deano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that it has so much penetration - muzzle velocity is under 400 fps, if I recall correctly - but then, you are talking very close ranges (3-4 meters). I am glad that there's no sense of recoil, and that you find it accurate and rate it so highly. You're whetting my appetite further! I want to find out what's the difference between it (the 717) and the 747 model. That was mighty nice of you to invite me over for a shoot! :o Only problem is: I'm in the US! I'm planning a trip to the UK this May, though: but we'll be mostly in London and in Shalkespeare-country (Stratford). Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
