I have had similar thoughts a while ago when my rfd brought in a pair. I had a play with one in the range, extremely accurate on the 25mt range with one hole groups. Just as the impact was so different when it came out, so is the AGT, it has it's own feel. I did not buy one as it could not afford it, would I buy one if I could afford it.........well that is the question, I don't know, having had the impact and loved it, I think I may stay with FX because having had several FX fac guns, I have no reason to move away from them and if I were buying either of them as a sub 12, I would not spend s

The Webley Raiders are well worth having at that price because they fetch more than those prices in the shops. There is one in my rfd at £400. The old BSA Mercurys are nice, I have one which is a nice gun to shoot. Phil

The second photo and that smile says it all Jimmy.............................................. that is the look of 'I am having this ' ! ! ! ! By the way, I think you are far too old to be jumping about on a tramolene my dear OLD friend. Phil

Nice one Jimmy

Whilst the information is valid, this is the AIRGUN section so perhaps you need to post this in the rimfire / centrefire / shotgun section where it is likely to find more people who will be grateful for the info. Phil

Just got back from 2 weeks in Suffolk at our favourite place, Highlodge shooting ground where we rent a lovely lodge and the lake is 20' in front of our verander. The weather is normally spot on in early September but this time we had some rain and high winds along with cold nights. As with british weather, it soon changed and the sun blasted down and out came the fishing rods.................................I would normally have around 6 carp per session (not the big boys like we have in my syndicate pond however) but not this time, the lilley pads had been cut right back in my swim and the

Read the last comment above mate all sorted now.

Yes indeed clean kills, the distance is 10mt for each shot which may sound weird but from his office window there are some stone set at that range so it has been a case to take the shots when the quarry is at that range. This is easier than it sounds because the vermin come into his site from the same spot so it is not an issue to get them in the right place. Phil

Yes Simon you are the man I referred to with a springer fac and I can tell you Darren, to see Simon use a springer is a sight to behold. One day at his house we were tinkering with a AA TX200 HC that I had bought and was getting nowhere fast and bear in mind it was a dedicated right handed gun with a curved over comb, Simon is a lefty but nevertheless he put three pellets on top of the one he used as a target at 35mt and when I say on top of eachother I mean exactly on top...................pissed me off no end as I was rubbish until one of our members sorted it so even I was able to produce s

I think Crawfords in Scunthorpe had a couple in second hand when I was in the other day. Phil

Welcome aboard Dafid but after ten years I doubt if Cedric will see your post. Phil

Well don't bloody sell this one Jimmy. Phil

This morning, after giving the barrel a final clean I decided to run a string of shots to see how many were on zero before starting to drop off zero. Now my garden is only 15mt which is not strictly ideal but nevertheless I thought it a worthwhile task, not that it was a task and that I have to tell you it blew me away, 6 mags in and still on point of aim, that is 60 shots, I then put up individual spot targets with a 4mm spot..................... 7 mags and just on point. I filled the gun to 230bar and it is now just about on 100bar so now I started to see the drop off and at 78 shots point

Well for some time I have been wanting a sub12 for close shooting on ferals, corvids and rats but as this type of shooting is not a big part of my shooting, I was not keen on spending too much money on this gun and as I have been renewing a fair bit of my fishing gear, the pension will not go very far so the search began a week ago. I had an HMR 17 rifle that was not getting used at all so a deal was required in order to secure a sub 12 for me. First gun on test was a rather nice Zbroia straight pull gun in .177 with a really nice stained black stock. One of my Airmax Compact scopes was

Hw are not regarded as very good fac gun in pcp, we do have a couple of seriously good springer shooters, one of which loves his hw80 in fac but generally very few people buy them in pcp and they do not make a .25 cal gun.
-
Both .22 and .25 are superb but we all like different things but for me the .25 is far better however for that cal you need a good air tank such as the Impact, Crown , Maveric or Wildcat BT to offer the shot count. As an example my Impact gave me 90 shots per fill which was very useful when ratting as we could take 60 a night and pigeon shooting at times. I think my Wildcat in .22 give around 60 shots per fill and in .25 that drops to 30 shots per fill whereas the BT version in .25 is back up to 60 shots per fill. So yoou need to have a think about what you really want and how it will

Air Maks guns do a fold down which is way better than Air Arms but not cheap but there again neither are the TDR guns.

I have been shooting fac air for about 7 years now and I can tell you they are very underated. I have a .22 FX Wildcat at present and an FX Impact .25 before that and both are superb with the .25 being nothing short of awsome taking rabbits out to 125mt (lasered) using pellets as it was not a slug barrel so shudder to think what the slug would perform like. Are they worth the variation HELL YES and don't let anyone tell you otherwise and those that do usually have never owned one. My .25 was just as good as my rimfire and with the later barrel or slug liner, people are shooting rabbits

No can't help you there but as this was his first post, I am guessing he joined purely to get someone to shoot his rabbits so perhaps he now has somebody and will not be back on again.
