Recently purchased 2 guns BSA Meteor .22 with 4 x 32 scope which I know is listed at 12 ft lbs Slavia 630 .177 Anyone know anything about Slavia Reason for purchase Rats and Rabbits but really drunk in pub and for £10 from mate couldn't resist ! _________________ Trust me I know what I'm doing.... Well, that wasn't supposed to happen...   Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:41 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA I have the Slavia 631, which is essentially the same gun with a larger stock. They are well built, have a good trigger, and are accurate. They never really caught on over here, probably because they are relative low-powered (around 600 FPS). It's a good gun. http://www.czub.cz/en/catalog/84-air-guns-cz/VSP/Slavia_630_STANDARD.aspx http://www.czub.cz/zbrojovka/cz-manual/Instruction-Manual-Slavia-630-631.pdf _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!

Thank you very much for info, gun condition is good some rust spotting on barrel,. but that is all. Will be trying it out in next few days. BSA Meteor in almost mint condition. Reason for cheap price, friend is another surgeon and going to New Zealand shortly, so cannot take guns - alcohol led us to deal !! lol brandybutton _________________ Trust me I know what I'm doing....

I have owned both the 630 and the 631, allthough I actually bought the second one for a friend and ran shot it to see if it performed well. The 631 I owned was a pretty cheap deal; beat up, showing it's age and a bent barrel but it came with a dioptre and shot really great, in spite of all the flaws it came with. Also, which model BSA Meteor? Used guns tend to have a bit more soul. Welcome aboard, and I hope have a good time here! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 6:56 pm under500fps Veteran Member Joined: 03 Mar 2007 Posts: 217 Location: Nova Scotia http://cherrytwist.googlepages.com/slavia631tune-up _________________ René My air gun stuff .   Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2010 10:24 am bobtodrick Member Joined: 05 Jan 2010 Posts: 51 Not to offend whoever wrote that cherrytwist tune...but that sounds like one defective gun the fellow had. 3" groups at 10m before tune?? Before tune I had no trouble getting dime sized groups at 10m with my 630. After tune (admittely I scoped it as well) my 630 has no problem with under 1" groups at 30m.   Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2010 3:17 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands 10 meters should be raffled holes. Both my tuned 630 and untuned 631 could do that. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2010 8:01 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA I'll agree that 3" sounds pretty big compared to my experience with the 631, but let's be charitable. He mentions that he had only been shooting the 631 for two weeks, and was looking to refine his technique. Maybe he came from a different shooting tradition and springers were new to him. Or possibly he bought a ton of those Chinese "tool sale" pellets. Or maybe his wife was "accidentally" bumping him when he shot so her 631 would score higher. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2010 2:58 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Talking from your own experience there, Slav?

To tear down and tune a gun only requires mechanical aptitude and some knowledge of the gun but has nothing to due with shooting.   Posted: Fri Oct 15, 2010 8:23 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Quote: Or maybe his wife was "accidentally" bumping him when he shot and... Quote: Talking from your own experience there, Slav? My wife and I do not share an interest in shooting, but drawing from cross-country skiing with her, yes - I believe it's possible. She was agile enough to perform a hockey-style hip check once, and has confused a ski pole with a fencing foil. I agree that mechanical and marksmanship skills are not necessarily related, but he did get tighter groups after the tune. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!
