    Yes I read that as well. It doesn't sound like a good start does it. Phil

    We used to use an owl decoy when shotgun shooting a few years ago but not sure that would work with a rifle as they mob the owl and we obviously shot them on the wing. Phil

    If I do buy one of these guns, you can be rest assured that I will do a review, warts and all. At this stage, I will be happy to just get my hands on one to feel what is is like in the shoulder and take it from there. To be very honest, I would buy an Hm 1000 if I could afford one but the old pension doesn't go that far and that has to be one of my considerations for my next gun. God, I do sound like an old fart but I have just come in from a 5 mile walk so not completely knackered just yet. Phil

    VM, I don't really know, there is just something about this gun I really like as I do with a few guns, not just this one. I love my HW but I want a .22 and possibly a different make. I liked the older Brococks for the handling but the shot count was rubbish. Confined areas ratting comes to mind, it won't be the first time I am wrong about something and I'm sure as hell it won't be the last but I need to get this out of the thinking one way or another.

    If it works, I don't care who made it, it may fit the bill so I will keep an open mind and wait to see the outcome. Phil

    Cheers Davy, I might just take you up on that mate. Phil

    quote. Guys after the review,it will be a rifle for air gun enthusiasts to consider. It already is Davy. It is a pity I live so far away because I would sneak down to your club to beg a shot or two. Really looking forward to hearing more but already sound like it ticks some of my boxes. Phil

    I have just had a call from an excited son in law who has been bought an AA S410 carbine by my daughter with some help from me. He is not dressed yet but already been out in the garden to test the gun. Good job I had my bottle filled earlier this week ready for the hectic activity later today. I had to give him some bullsh1t story about needing my old scope which is fitted to an old spring gun I gave him to play with in order that we could see what height the outfit was in order that we could get a good fitting gun bag. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together. MERRY CHR

    I personally would not want either the air rifle or shotgun but can't knock the feed back I have been given (shotgun) from very reliable sources. Phil

    Some years ago, I had been out shooting with friends and popped round to see one of the lads who were shooting with me only to find him ranting as he had just been robbed while he was watching the TV in another room. Now okay, he should have cleaned the gun and put it away but had not done, leaving it on the table and the back door unlocked. The thieves took his washing machine !!!!!!!! and left a rolled up piece of paper in the barrel of his shotgun. It said that he should not leave his gun laying around...................................the sheer cheek. Really sorry to hear of your bad n

    Whoa! My Hatsans, though cheap are accurate. They are appreciably cheaper than an HW95 or 99, but they are reliable, well made guns. Just not quite as good as the 95 or 99. The 900 is nowhere in the same league as the 60, but they are accurate and will drop vermin all day long. Heck the two PCP rifles I use most at the moment are my Galatians, they are accurate and cheap, so I won't mind if I fall in a ditch clutching one as much as I would was if it was the Mk 3 or BSA.... I'm sorry, I had not thought of the Hatsan guns as they do have a good feed back from people/forums who have

    I will say from the off that I have no experience of modern spring air rifles but the point being made on a number of occasions is that if you buy a cheap rifle, you will either not use it much because it is not well made or not so accurate and your cash has gone to a gun which looks the business in the shop is not worth a light when you want to sell it to buy another AND YOU WILL UPGRADE, we all do. I have had various guns, mainly shotguns, for nearly 50 years and even now, I still buy the odd gun or two but at least I KNOW what I am wanting to achieve. The first reply you were given by

    Very windy here as well Rez, almost gale force at times but we are on the coast so it is to be expected. I had a walk across the fields to see how my pal was doing decoying with the 12 gauge, those birds were really tricky to keep a bead on them as they tossed around in the conditions, great fun. I picked up his spare gun and took a few out but couldn't stay long. Well shot mate in tough conditions. Phil

    Not really a saving ,add another magazine + a mod up some were near the price of HW100!! Fair point VM, fair point...
  23. philpot
    They are £589 Mac so a good saving on the HW. I am just keeping an eye on this gun and see what sort of feed back comes from different people. Had it got all the electronic stuff that some Daystates have, I wouldn't even consider it. I have no intention in jumping in to get one and may well finish up with another HW but in .22 this time. I think I have to keep an open mind until I'm ready to actually buy the next gun. The power adjustment interests me particularly if I go the FAC route. Phil

    It clearly is not a thing of beauty but it appears to be a work tool and for vermin shooting where it may well get knocked about around farm buildings etc, perhaps this gun will fit the bill. I am really looking forward to the feed back and vid from the boys to see what they think. I think it is fair to say that both Si and Davy are far better shots than I will ever be so I will take it as read that they will make them sing but I DON'T believe they will say they are good if the guns are crap. If I get one, I will have it dipped anyway as I don't care for black stocks, just wish I could try on
