Bloody long way from Cornwall , it’s good to see there’s a odd one down there though,

Good to hear, another lefty , I struggle with modern airguns most are right handed, not ambidextrous.

Thanks piano man for your advice, I have never come across a springer on FAC , and I never would have thought they would be that smooth shooting, as some springers under 12 ft ld , can jump badly, I have a couple here that I really like to shoot, and are very accurate, but they are Sub 12ft , I suppose it sits with the quality of the gun, and how well it has been tuned , more food for thought.

Thanks for that Phil, that’s really helpful , I may drop you a message next time I’m down at Reedness , but I do think I am going to be buying one at some point, any info on the HW100 in FAC ?

Thanks for that Phil , can I ask what do you think is the best calibre for them ?

Can I ask if anyone has any advice on FAC airguns , I am towing with the idea of getting one, I have no issue with justifying one. Do most makers do a FAC option ? I are they worth the hassle ie the variation fiasco? Are they worth buying second hand ? What’s the pitfalls with them ? What’s the best calibre? can you pick them up second hand ? I notice there aren’t many for sale, any advice is greatly appreciated. ( before I make a decision)

Yes I see a few adds for electricians over there , I am other side of A69 though .

Up in northwest , I have given up looking now till next yr, just had house re-rendered instead . it isn’t easy finding some one, I may have got a contact for next yr , but I have been here before. head down now for the shooting season .

Done it now mate , stuck a standard spring and new piston washer in, shoots spot on

Stand your ground boys, and never give in , don’t give an inch,

I have a mint BSA supersport in 22 , can I ask if anyone could point me in the right direction , as to the best spring to fit in it , ie ox , titan or what’s out there to use, I know it’s never been serviced , so I wanted to bring it up to date , but I have not been around spring air rifles for a while , and things change, anybody got advice that will help me get the best out of this airgun ,?

Good hunting mate ,

Hi mate , what species of Deer , are you going after ? 243 will drop anything in this country I really I wouldn’t go smaller than that , 270 is a fantastic round, I use 6.5x55 I have used both the others , I only use it because it kills everything very well , and without excessive recoil, if I was shooting big reds and sika all the time I would go 270 up , however if I was only going for an odd red and sika every now and again , I probably would stick to 243 , or a calibre I can get good amo availability on and one I find good to shoot with, the above calibres will not give you excessive

I just received , 10 I bought as a taster I must say initial impressions are good , well made with good spring strength , I will get them in the ground next day or so and see how they fair, I might need to buy another 100 or so I hope they do well .

They are almost impossible to get hold of , going to have to buy loaded rounds soon .
