Hi Nashty

i have had the MFR but not the S type the good points about the MFR .

1) not to heavy to carry about all day in the field hunting.

2) found mine not to pellet fussy i used magnums and accupells no problems.

3) the fact you did not have to refill bottle every 5 min (300 shots per fill)

 

Bad points.

1) mine was one of the originals with a straight bar trigger no matter how i tried i could not get on with it just did not feel right somehow.

 

Traded it in after 8 months for a Falcon T-Bird

 

 

Mike :lol::lol:

 

PS forgot to add very quiet / nice to handle good balance when you put it to shoulder to shoot. :( :lol:

Hello hawkeye ;)

 

You mention you had the older original model?? :/ Is there a newer version out now with a curved trigger :lol: ? :lol: I think i too would have trouble with the blade trigger, imo i think to me it would lack the feel. Did you have it on fac or standard?? Also did you clean the pellets first or regularly clean the rifle instead??

And you say it's quiet eh :yp: Was the barrel standard or did it have an additional silencer?

Sorry to go on a bit, just want to make sure i make the right choice :rolleyes:

I do like the look of the MFR i must admit, the fore-end is nice looking, ggenerally the whole design.

 

Cheers mate :lol:

 

Jas :P

they changed the trigger to a curved one on some, i believe you can get either .I had it only on standard as i have the theoben MK2 on FAC i never cleaned the pellets or barrel put drop of lube in pellet tin thats all.

it had a standard barrel and theoben silencer.

I must admit i have had the barrel on my mk2 threaded and fitted a weihrauch silencer and find that is quieter.

I did like the looks of the MFR just did not like the trigger.
