Hi mate I got the same garb from my local gunshop. "never had one back, Not even traded back in!" Yada yada. Having a good look around it. I noticed that the craftsmanship was a little tatty to say the least especially the trigger which had a bur on that would take ya finger off. As far as Pcp's go I now little or guns in total for that matter but this thing just did not match the build quality of other rifles on show. I work in used car sales so was ready for his garb anyhow Just my opinion bud don't let me put you off. And am sure with a little emery and half an a hour the trigger would of been sweet.

pianoman 3,587 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm sorry but I cannot help but think HATSTAND! Mate it's your money and it's no business of mine. But if you buy cheap foreign crud as this sounds, don't be astonished to find yourself disappointed and having to shell out more on top for a better rifle. There are more fingers on my left hand than air rifle manufacturers with goods worthy of your business. Hatstand isn't one of them. Simon Quote Link to post
dav105e 3 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 i bought 1 of these just before xmas.i have never owned a pcp before only spring powered. To be honest i find the gun ok. i was on a budget and got a good deal trading my gun in. Quote Link to post

Simon yea thats what i first thought "cheap crap" but i didnt want to be a brand snob either but at that price "275 quid" im entering into bsa ultra tactical range and that has good a good fanbase. or could just go whole hog and get a hw100 or r10 etc etc.......cheers Quote Link to post

All the best Karpman haha silly sod lol.mine can be a lazy sod most of the time too.hes coming on great,hes finally come round to liking the car now(especially landrover) which is great because before he woulnt come near me if he knew he was getting in car but now hel actually willingly jump in! i took him for a walk few days ago and my staffy was working hedgerow and put up a rabbit that flew passed the pup at full speed,he took after it but just missed it by a whisper as it went into another hole.it wasnt long,maybe 70 -100 yrds but i was happy as larry and he seemed to love it as he was looking for more! recently his gameness is starting to show through and he even tries stalking seagulls lol. his recall has gone a bit pear shaped when out with other dog but on his own he is fantastic...im positive this will not be a long term problem tho. all in all im very happy with the little thieving bugger lol.
