tweedledee Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 spring or pcp? hw80 is good for fac power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have a s410 xtra fac running at 35 ft lbs and it's been a reliable tool for the last 8 years now and i'm confident taking 75yd head shots if the conditions allow . I strongly recommend you consider a factory prepared version like the one I've mentioned or the Theoben R7 for example 40 shots per charge on average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAN88 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 not sure read different comments after quiteness as shooting around paddocks some time :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 go pcp then. s410 would be a good bet or if you have loads to spend go for a rapid mk2. daystate x2 and bsa s10 are also good bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ian,iv got a Rapid 7 .22 running at 22ft lbs and the beauty of this is,for a start its recoilless and at this power its got flat trajectory using .22 Accupell pellets.In my opinion go for a PCP and not a spring gun for use as a FAC air-rifle.ATB.

kdubya Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 If you want fac air, only way to go is a rapid! buy second hand and they are as cheap as chips ( less market for fac) accurate, high shot count, and fit for purpose, oh and before you get the tits on saying rapids are ugly my gun looks better blah blah blah, they all look the same when looking down ascope at a bunnies head, cheers kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickanles Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 rapid for me , picked mine up the other week of mosa, superb, looks like it will make the old Brno .22 redundant, with the 17 hmr at hand if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 A smooth Venom HW80 if you only use on odd occasions. Any buddy bottle type of PCP, maybe S10 or R7 comes out as VFM if you use a lot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 rapid 7 for me aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
