WANTED Air rifle.

[Janine]

I have a Webley Typhoon air pistol that I am happy to sell, if anyone is interested.

 

[jongood]

Another vote for a 0.77, Ive got one with a precharge and use domed pellets, seems pretty effective.

 

[Gaston aires]

I used to chew up bits of paper and insert them in a BSA 2.2 airsporter and shoot flies. Great fun.

I had a hw100 .22 caliber but sold it and bought the .177 hw100 instead, more accurate straighter projection and kills just as good as a .22 great for rats

I also have firearms rifles for longer distance stuff and larger quarry

Have a look on freeads site or guntrader for a decent 2nd hand pcp air rifle

I wish you hadn’t posted this. Read this and went out and bought a hw110 .177. So accurate. Now bank account is a bit lighter

 

[Ivory55]

Blimey that’s a serious bit of kit. How many rats have you got

I've got absolutely no reason to own an air rifle but from following this thread I now want one.

You need a licence in Scotland and a good reason for wanting one.

 

[Pedders]

If you use a Diana, which is basically a pop gun, the pellets will just bounce off a rat unless you are a foot away and a good shot.

Clock it over the head with the butt.

 

[tacr2man]

I have a .22 with a scope , but hardly use the scope as fitted laser sight , allows fast aim on rats

As kids we would hold the barrel against a brick and fire a pellet, then reload and fire. Most satisfying red flash from the broken brick bits stuck on the end of the barrel. Funnily enough the air rifle did not work well for long.

 

[Bailey58]

"May I ask where you're going Sir?"

"Yes Officer, I'm off to collect an air rifle I bought from a bloke on ebay"

"Would you consider that an essential journey Sir?"

"Yes Officer, I just caught the wife in bed with my neighbour"

If anyone else is looking an air rifle, I have a couple that I may sell.

 

[ivorantony]

It’s funny to read this as I have just come in from trying to shoot the pesky rabbits that are destroying my new young trees , not for sale ,an air arms S300 , .177 , I use a divers cylinder to pressurise it

Not being picky but why not put some chicken wire around the trees and leave the rabbits alone?

I have a question for all you air rifle experts.

Back in 1992 we had squirrels in the loft of our previous house so I bought an air rifle to get rid of them. I think it was the most powerful one I could buy without some form of licence. I still have it somewhere in the loft of our present house. Can I still use it, or have the rules changed since 1992?

If you don’t live in Scotland nothing has changed since then.

Indeed, No.2 son can hit a golf ball hung on string at 60m with my HW100. Personally, I have trouble seeing the ball at that distance. He helps me because he can see the air disturbance of the pellet and guides me onto target. Up a bit, left a bit etc.

 

[Rosemary1]

You might be better with a.177cal smaller pellet faster and straighter flight trajectory, though the .22 does hit harder, just a point that is argued depending on preference.

How strange as I was reading the post out to my hubby (loves air rifle) and he said he would prefer a .177cal - for the accuracy and range.

 

[Rosemary1]

To be honest I hadn't given it any thought, it was just this thread that reminded me. It cost quite a bit when I bought it as it's a serious bit of kit. I'm going to have to do some research before committing but I'll update over the next day or so.

Have a look at Airgun forum and Airgun BBS.

Love it, 0.77, do you have to air the rifle up after each shot.

I know, it's a typo, I'm sorry.

 

[Rosemary1]

Careful - that how it start just with buying one. Hubby and Chris+Tracy could probably set up a small shop now!

To ensure it is legal Peter just have it tested over a chronograph .. any dealer should help you.

 

[robnchris]

I've got an "Air Arms TX200" .22 fitted with a silencer but I'm not sure what it's worth these days?

Buying from a dealers expect to pay £300 for one in excellent condition.

Diving cylinders are ok but you really need 300bar otherwise you'll be filling the cylinders more frequent.

I do quite a lot of Air rifle shooting when in Field Target competitions everyone shoots with .177 for better accuracy.

Currently I shoot with a tuned Weihrauch HW100s, I also own a HW97 and HW80 which is rather unique in that when I bought it it was .22 I went into Sandwell Field Sports and they changed the barrel for a .177 from a HW95 and fully tuned the rifle, shoots like a dream with very little recoil, the nice touch is it has the word Mantis inscribed in gold letters.
Chris my wife shoots with a Brocock Concept .177.
I also have an Air Arms S200.

Some pics of the HW80 springer, out in the field we always get dinner.

The HW97k another Springer.

Air Arms S200.

HW 100s.

That's some serious stuff you have there! The S200 is very similar in looks to the TX200 isn't it? My TX is fitted with a silencer.
This post has jinxed me cause we've suddenly got an influx of rats in the garden and I'm picking them off quite successfully with the TX....its rekindled my interest in shooting after many years of no activity.

They need you down lynn docks, haha

I've seen them down there....they're as big as sqirrels

The big ones are more secret, the smaller ones move about more in the open. Early morning you can catch the big ones in your lights sometimes.
