fac air rifle

[wambamboo 1]

Hi All

 

 

As title says what set up to get ,As I have not shot air rifle since my early youth I am looking for some advice. I have a .22 fac air rifle on my certificate .

With land to shoot which is unsuitable for .22lr etc.I was leaning towards the s410 . But not a hell of a lot of advice on here compared to the powder burners .

 

 

Cheers Wam

 

Thanks in advance.

Rapid 7 wins every time in my book.

 

I have a Falcon running at 26ft lb and it is remarkably accurate, but in honesty the Rapid 7 is a better bet, but no more accurate.

 

Be careful how high you go, 30ft lb tends to work pretty well with several pellets but anything much over that and you are likely to start having accuracy problems....unless you use the heavy and expensive "bullet type" pellets but then they will fall like a stone.

had a bt&s rapid mk11 very nice gun plenty shots at 27ftlb very accurate then switched to a air arms s510 doing 17ftlbs ideal fac for close range would not swap it for anything very accurate and light

rapid mkII for me, 34fpe and plenty of shots, easy for spare but not cheapest to buy.

I have the 12ft lbs AirArms 510 SL and it is an absolute dream to use. With the extra range in FAC it must be a cracker. falconbob2004

i`m looking at fac air at the moment to and i think for me its got to be a rapid, which one i dont know yet but i think around 90 shots per fill at 30 ftlbs, compared so i`ve been told with air arms and the like of around 15 shots per fill plus you can just take a spare buddy bottle with you for back up and not all the charging gear.

i had a standard limit rapid many years ago and it was a cracking bit of kit.

I know several people with Rapid 7 and without exception they all have at least 2 buddy bottles.

 

They are not cheap, but for the occassional shooter they can save you money. Many air rifle dealers will be able to simply charge your buddy bottle which saves buying all the other charging malarky!

Rapid way to go. :yes:I have just such a piece of land and the fac rapid comes out 90% of the time despite having .22lr,hmr,.223 to play with.
