I like fixing up the cheapies, too. But that doesn't mean I won't buy higher-end ones that need no work.

Someday soon I will finish shooting all my guns and deciding what to keep and get some pictures to post up. Spent too much time this week fixing shooting . . . Well a little of everything.

I like german guns! RWS 850 was my first air rifle and I will be sorry when it sells. I converted it over to HPA and until I got my s510 xtrafac carbine I had a hard time imagining a high end gun would ever do much more.

I love that gun. The boring part of not having to worry about how well it works or fuss to get pellets loaded is very not boring. For the first time in a long time I got to just enjoy shooting.

AA makes some really nice guns. I can highly recommend stepping up to one right away and skipping the whole mrod, qb, bam tinker phase altogether.

Making a sow's ear shoot silk does give one a certain sense of pride but when it comes to getting a gun that is just great to shoot you are going to have a hard time finding anything decent under 600$. At least in a PCP.


My thoughts exactly.

I have a Webley Tempest. It says, below the air cylinder, that it is made in England. It shoots fantastic. I've had it for about ten years or so.

Yeah, I've had and have british made guns:

BSA - Hornet, Lonestar, Scorpion, SuperTen, Spitfire, Firebird, Lightning XL
Daystate - Huntsman Classic, MK3 (twice), Airranger, X2
AA - S510, S410, S400, TX200
Falcon - PF25
Webley, Titan. Hopefully a Ripley Elite soon.

Most have since left my posession. They're all high quality guns and do what they need to do. Of course it's easier for me to get them as I'm from continental europe Smile

Performance wise, the Falcon PF25. For the looks the Daystate Huntsman Classic Midas, which I still have.
