The Air Rifles & Pistols thread

What made you change? I know I much prefer the 14 shot mag system the HW has, but for HFT that is of no benefit.
 
I wanted a springer and got the 97 and was so impressed with it, its build quality and how the thumbhole stock shouldered for me. That I instantly wanted the same in my pcp. I'll be honest ive become a bit of a weihrauch fanboy now. I can't wait till the weekend when I can try it out.

All of you are welcome to camp in my garden and shoot the annoying fat pigeons that eat all the bird food. :mad::mad:

Just to be Captain Sensible for a change, this is a really bad idea and also against the law :)

You can't shoot pigeons just because they're eating all the bird food. There has to be a good reason to kill the birds - these are covered in the General Licences.

Do you really think I'd let any of GD's great unwashed onto my property? Especially armed!

Yes, the good reaon is they are pigeons!!! :p

But no, shooting at them in the garden with a high powered air rifle is not a good idea! :eek:

Personally, I would opt for a catapult loaded with a hungry cat, just for the lols :p
 
I shoot pigeons in my garden/fields behind my house. I have a rather large garden.
I thought i'd show some piccies of my FX Typhoon. Bought it 2nd hand off my brother in law a couple or years ago.

Was like this when i got it.


Stayed like that until a couple of weeks ago when i plasti dipped it.


But it didn't stick well so i decided to spend some money on camo tape.



I quite like the look of it. What do you think?
 
Here's a couple I just purchased,

Colt M45

This is virtually identicle to the Tanfoglio Witness 1911 aside its appearance. It's a little more accurate than the witness though with much tighter slide and barrel so very little play.

Colt Python

Beautiful Gun and very heavy full metal.

Spec me a scope :)
on my fx typhoon I've got a 4-12x40 scope i got off ebay. Was cheap. don't know the brand and i am always having to zero it in every time i go to use it.
My limit is £90 but cheaper and still good is better. I mainly shoot pigeons, squirrels and the rabbits that have just appeared at the bottom of my garden.
 
I'd consider the Hawke Sport HD or even the Hawke Airmax EV in 3-9x40 which should range from £70 to £100 (cheaper on eBay) and are an extremely good make for the price.

I had their Sidewinder 30 and it was extremely well made and held it's zero well.

Oh absolutely but it will reduce cancerous walking talking abortions from getting their hands on an air rifle/gun.

Some is better than none.

As much as I hate the idea of having to licence an air weapon I really can't argue with your cancerous walking talking abortions comment, it makes me feel sick these incidents take place but I'm just not sure licensing is the best way to go. I'd rather the courts take the matter much more seriously and hand down very long jail sentences to the scum offenders.

While I'm not really opposed to vermin control I'm proud to say my air guns will never kill a living creature while it's in my hands, I'm a paper target tin can man.

sadly i think the only people it will stop access to are the law abiding who would like to use it for plinking etc but the hoops needed to own it legally means they just give up.

the scrotes on the other hand won't give a ****, there are laws which make it illegal to shoot people and pets, yet it doesn't stop them so why should licencing?

whats needed are harsher punishments on those that commit these crimes, not punishing the law abiding for the crimes of the scum.
