Harsh! I have seen lots of people let others know they are selling items in other threads and they didn't get into bother for it.

Nice looking gun btw. Hope you don't regret selling them like I always do, then end up buying another a few years later for more money..

@robj20 - did you drill the stock for the studs yourself or did a gunsmith do it for you?

I'm really thinking it would be a good idea to get them done on my Ranger as out in the field it's just nice to sling it over your shoulder from time to time!

I have shooting sticks so not too bothered about using a bipod on it - I do have a large harris one though.

robj20 looks awesome. I am not sure what to get for first pcp. But AA510 is right up there. Want multishot...

LOL, an infraction for selling, wasn't even selling I didn't see any prices, are the mods just bored!
Also if you could direct me to the section in the MM for Rifles, for future reference, wonder if they come under Audio/Visual.

Don't whine about it, just take it on the chin.

Too bad England doesn't have a proper firearms culture because these air rifles are extremely nice. I bet the English could produce some really nice handguns and rifles (I know they make quite a few shotguns).

Drilled it myself, as-well as oiling it myself. Also chiselled out a larger space for a bigger battery, got rid of the nasty NIMH battery and replaced with a LIPO.

The oiling itsn't as big an issue really - although the finish on the stock out of the box was stunning - I was given three Air Rangers to look at and glad I did too as they were all pretty different!

I wish they would just factory fit the studs for you to be honest, it's stuch a standard bit of rifle kit - but then I guess some owners might want to leave the walnut totally untouched and just use a bottle strap to affix a bipod.

AA makes one of best quality ever i've seen. There are some England products that are of highest quality such as RR. Also few hot English girls such as JOrdan... mmm

Being a long time springer shooter, 30years with a HW77, I finally gave in and bought a PCP. So later today I will pick up a BSA R10 .177 and depending on what I see while I'm in the shop possibly a few accessories.

Photo's will follow.

Nice - my neighbour has an R10 - lovely looking gun. Did you get a pump or a bottle to fill it?

Good plan!
A friend at the club I go to has a R10. It's very good, I'm sure you'll love it.

BF-Bert · 24 Jul 2013 at 14:56

MTC Mamba 3-12 x 44 same as I have on the HW77

BF-Bert · 25 Jul 2013 at 20:05

New toy for a bit of target shooting (HFT) and a bit of hunting

Poor pic but having too much fun shooting to bother with camera

SimonCHere · 25 Jul 2013 at 20:45

Nice. Hope it's working well for you.

Mark A · 25 Jul 2013 at 21:38

That stock is a beauty!

bainbridge · 25 Jul 2013 at 23:00

I miss target shooting with my good old HW80 (made in Germany, not Hull cartridge).

Still have the rifle but sold the scope ages ago and can no longer put on the foresight due to the silencer.

Custom Venom tuning kit and F1 mainspring, incredibly accurate for a break barrel and powerful too.

Beautiful Daystate you have their, they really do make the best air rifles in my opinion :cool:

. I had a Daystate X2 Prestige kitted out similar to your Airwolf with a Gary Cane walnut thumbhole stock many moons ago.

SimonCHere · 25 Jul 2013 at 23:15

Weihrauch are still made in Germany. Its just the main/official importers are Hull Cartridge.
You can get a cheap scope that will do to get you going again.
