All Air Venturi rifle products are Made In China ('Air Venturi' is the OEM/wholesaler name of PyramydAir), so I've not run off and ordered one just yet. More power (i.e. 40fpe) and a power adjuster would be a nice feature! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

The action is based on some old Webley or something, and over here it's just sold under the Hatsan name. + It says "Made in Turkey". http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/zoomed_model.pl?model_id=1912 _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2009 5:35 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" You are correct, pardon me- perhaps I should re-phrase my statement to "all Air Venturi rifle products are made in countries with lower levels of quality control and cost" ! Actually, I am more confident if it is made by Hatsan than if by some mystery Chinese manufacturer, at least they build their stuff like tanks, and usually with some work, they can be made quite a bit better than they left the factory. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

In twenty years I'll be telling my kids, "Why, when I was your age we had to load our pellets one at a time." Not sure why it took them so long to understand the benefit of semi automatic ag's. Although, look how long it took them to figure that out with powder burners. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

One of the reasons we did not invest heavily into repeating arms (in the US) was because the bureaucrats did not think soldiers could control themselves enough to not waste all of their ammo. We know that they would not have, because those guys are dead, since they could not shoot fast enough (take for example the Krag from the Spanish American war). _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Well, if you take the Vietnam War for example, it was something like 50,000 rounds expended for every enemy killed. So maybe they had a point. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

We also had faulty weapons that would jam if you touched them wrong. That might be a reason I would likely never buy an AR for when SHTF purposes. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

They get better every year. These manufacturers aren't stupid. A lot of A-brands are cutting back on quality, and that leaves an open space for cheaper manufacturers. In a few years we're buying turkish Webleys. _________________ BIG GAP New PCP     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Rifles You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 2   Goto page 1, 2  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
