You may think you're a powder burner, but that's just a nitrocellulose induced illusion. Once you get the Super Streak it will pass. Post some pictures when you get the chance. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 7:56 am BBgunNoob Veteran Member Joined: 18 Dec 2008 Posts: 327 Location: Pa hi welcome to the forum, the superstreak is a nice gun,   Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:14 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Yes it is a nice gun. Have you talked to Lewis from Beeman-Aus. He's the Mac-1 of Aus. Since you would likely have to import the Super Streak directly from USA, he may be able to set you up with a better deal. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I aint that redline, I can tell u he is a fake lol, yep looking forward to the streak (its not a direct import its a lgs buy, an air gun can never replace the awesome rush that touching off a federal 215 magnum rifle primer behind 90grains of gunpowder gives me   Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 2:58 pm firemandivi Member Joined: 03 Aug 2009 Posts: 97 Location: New York Welcome to the forums. I have a Super Streak .22 and I love it. I will warn you though, like most pellet guns it is pellet specific. Mine really loves predators and nothing else. Also you may want to look into replacing the stock trigger. http://charliedatuna.com/GRT-III%20Trigger%20New.htm It will do wonders for the size of your groupings as most people here will tell you. Enjoy your new airgun. _________________ .22 Super Streak   Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:09 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area Welcome to AirGunHome redline.   Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:54 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho redline wrote: an air gun can never replace the awesome rush that touching off a federal 215 magnum rifle primer behind 90grains of gunpowder gives me oh yes it can... just do what i do and buy all of 'em! haha. i'm a powder burner just the same. split between 2 worlds. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:17 am redline New Member Joined: 07 Feb 2010 Posts: 4 sniper wrote: redline wrote: an air gun can never replace the awesome rush that touching off a federal 215 magnum rifle primer behind 90grains of gunpowder gives me oh yes it can... just do what i do and buy all of 'em! haha. i'm a powder burner just the same. split between 2 worlds. we will see but i dont think an air rifle will ever be able to reach out and touch a critter past 400m, i like my guns to do that lol   Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 7:19 am BBgunNoob Veteran Member Joined: 18 Dec 2008 Posts: 327 Location: Pa Quote: we will see but i dont think an air rifle will ever be able to reach out and touch a critter past 400m, i like my guns to do that lol dont give bob any ideas   Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 8:14 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands redline wrote: sniper wrote: redline wrote: an air gun can never replace the awesome rush that touching off a federal 215 magnum rifle primer behind 90grains of gunpowder gives me oh yes it can... just do what i do and buy all of 'em! haha. i'm a powder burner just the same. split between 2 worlds. we will see but i dont think an air rifle will ever be able to reach out and touch a critter past 400m, i like my guns to do that lol Hmmm, 300 yards can be done with a .32 Beamont Classic. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 4:14 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia I think the furthest target for the LASSO guys is ~350 yards. Harry (Yrrah) on the Yellow shoots 100m regularly with his .22 Excalibre (or was it a rapid?) Now he's doing 200m with a .25. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
