N24 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm after an air rifle - mainly/only for pigeon & rat control; am I correct in thinking that a quiet pcp is the correct model to go for - I was thinking something like a BSA but have very little knowledge in the field of air rifles. This would also be a non-FAC. Is there a difference in noise between say BSA and Air Arms? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 for silence i would think the weihrauch hw100 would be top of the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yup, second that tweedledee, whisper quite and DEADLY accurate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N24 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Oops - I should have also said £2-300 inc scope - therefore used. I've looked on guntrader - should I be looking elsewhere too? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptcruiser Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I too have a HW 100 both in .177 in fact i have 2 and yes they are very very quite bt i can't see you picking one uo for under £300.00 including scope though i may be wrong....What i would say though is my mate has a HW 100 in .22 and it is quiter than both my .177's!....I once owned a RWS EXCALIBRE in .22 and boy that was quite!

N24 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Are things like the HW, Logan AA multishot or multishot capable? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipper Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 not tried the hw100 .... but i have owned a logun s16 .... yes quiet to fire but noisey to cock just like the bsa superten out of all the multi shots i have owned the one that allways impresses me is the s200 s410 also good and a daystate x2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 My silenced Logun Solo is very quiet and accurate - bought s/hand with a reasonable scope for less than £300. I fitted the 10 shot magazine for less than £30. Not every pcp has to be AA or Weihrauch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash.gun Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 air arms s410 there very quiet and very accurate but you would have to get it second hand if you only want to pay that much. Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N24 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks all - bought an AA S200 today - which will hopefully fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 The reason for a .22 being quieter maybe because the .177 needs more air to force it out at the same power as a .22 because its lighter . Or so i belive. My vote would of been air arms in 177 to, model of choice being a s410 carbine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaker Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi I own a hw100 and yes it is very quiet but i also own a BSA ultra Which is just as quiet and a lot cheaper take a look on the sales pages i picked mine up with scope, 3lt bottle and weihrauch silencer for £250 perfect for rats and pigeons if your going for rats get a .22 as their tough little bu**ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
