Bump and a price drop to £140
-
I've got a HW 57 for sale which is an underlever and does the same job. Damn near perfect condition. In .22

Hw 57 £160 posted, all usual age and prohibited rules apply. Very tidy gun and in very good condition ESP the metalwork. The woodwork has at some point been stripped although there is the odd bit where perhaps they havn't quite got all the old finish off. To be fair, you wouldn't notice from a few feet away and it looks quite nice. No physical marks on the stock however. Comes with screwed in sling clips although not qd studs. Open sights. Great reliable accurate gun, only selling to fund a new shotty. Pictures to follow soon Cheers, Jon

It comes with just the built in ir, I would say you could pick out the definate shape of a rabbit at 35 ish yards and the eyes for quite a bit further. This would be improved with and extra ir illuminator which this has the mount to hold.

Deben s50 pro, comes with it's cloth cover and 4 rechargeable batteries (it only uses 1 at a time) and charger. Great bit of kit but sadly I need the money. £210 posted. Many photos and info on the web, these still retail at £500 so grab a bargain ready for the long winter nights. Cheers, Jon

Is it still for sale?
-
Any pictures of this? And would you be interested in any kind of px? What size is the air bottle. Could be very Interested

I tried using nv on a friends rifle and it is hard to judge distance. However the rabbits dont get nv shyness as they do with torches and is good for clearing a large open area when there are lots of rabbits. Expensive though so i go for torch on scope myself.

Are any of the ipod applications suitable for air rifle use or do they only include real rifle rounds. Would be handy to have something like that occasioanlly...

I seperate the rear legs, front legs and the saddle, throw it all in a big casserole dish with some chopped up potatoes, carrots, onion, swede and any other veg, two stock cubes, salt and pepper and a can of beer then slow cook at 130 degrees for most of the day. Nice caserole! Or you can take the meat of the bone before cooking. And chuck in a few dumplings for half hour at the end to! Another one is to cut the meat up into small bite size chunks (think KFC popcorn chicken) Boil unitl pretty much cooked (bout 25 minutes)or just fry, then roll them all in flour, dip in whisked egg, and the -
my logun solo is pretty damn close. Or will be once i fix its pinging!
-
No joy from ebay. Any body know a good gunsmith that does work by post? Saying that im sure i could do it myself if i had the bits. Booger. Now i know it can be done i really want to do it, whereas before it didnt bother me too much.
-
Where can i get one of these "de-pingers"? On a serious note is there a good place to look or a good company to ask for tuned hammer springs etc? Getting on well with the gun otherwise so might spend a few pennies to fix this and be super chuffed instead of just pleased!
-
When i fire my solo there seems to be a springy noise from around the action that is probably louder than the pellet leaving the barrel when the silencer is attatched. Any ideas as to what this noise might be and how to stop it? Doesnt seem to be doing any harm but just thought id try.
-
What add ons are these and how much do they go for? Cant afford a full on night vision scope and wouldnt want the hassle of keep changing scopes for day shooting then night. And definately cant afford a day/night scope!
-
Took about four or five minutes pumping to fill my logun solo from empty, then just top up takes about thirty seconds before i go out each time. Not bad unless you have health issues. Id go for it again anyway.
-
Had a HW80k (still have it) then got a second hand logun solo. I would say the only advanatge of the pcp is that without the recoil of a springer, you can rest it on stuff ie a bipod, wall etc, and have a steadier shot for slightly longer range stuff. 30 yards used to be a fairly hard shot for me on a rabbit just trying to hold steady on it(the hw is a heavy gun!) but now its dead easy be able to lean on stuff etc. Horses for courses really. A good quality springer is more fun in my mind but the PCP for clinical shooting.
-
Yup they are good, i have one similar a LEDwave z4. Make sure if you go from ebay get a real one not a japanese "certain fire" etc.
-
I just got a logun solo second hand from a member of this forum and i must say its great. I also got an fx hand pump and it goes from dead empty to full with about 3 mins pumping (then a 5 mintue break to regain breath). Go for it. Personally over the few days ive so far owned it, ive found my self to be much more accurate(maybe the lack of recoil), and not having to break the barrel for every shot is a blessing. Go for it

Ive always been under the impression a mod would lower the POI slightly and take a slight bit of power out of the shot. Could not explain this theory though.
-
I have access to a scuba tank that i can get filled for free whenever i like, just need to know is there a special hose that im likely to need to go from scuba tank to gun.
-
Have purchased a logun solo as my first pcp to serve me over before i get my fac, but just wondering how do i charge the bottle and what bits will i need apart from the bottl itself? Many thanks, i know its a bit of an odd one.
-
No moon, bit of wind, best if its been raining before hand but stopped recently. Generally better dawn dusk and night. So i have found anyway. Try everything and see what works.
-
Think i'll wait and save and go for lr then. Seems there's just as many hoops either way! Cheers for the info people.

Was going to go the rimfire route but i live on the Scilly isles and we have no gun shop, so its a fair bit of money for a round trip everytime to get ammunition etc. Could get a second hand rifle posted to me, tune the power up and order all ammo online fac air wise. Just measuring up options. quite liked one of the FAC air rifles in the for sale section, i believe it was a condor with adjustable power wheel thing, just wondering which hoops to jump!
