anyone have any idea what this is?

Cheapest I have found a hawke similar red dot for new is £25 plus P+P, you could make some back flogging the hot dot, not what you want to hear of course, but you should make half your money back! I have 2 Hawke telescopic sights and I like them! Plenty of other people do, the sight should be worth £15 if you want to off load it on the for sale bits!

If the lad is happy with it that's all that really matters.

 

Chinese or daystate if used within it's boundaries and not asked too much of I'm sure it will kill many rats, ferals and medium range bunnies.

 

For £30 no one can complain buddy.

 

I used to own a Chinese Custom Lion which looks like your model and it accounted for many a head of vermin.

 

Yep it's not a Weihrach or Air Arms but for pure fun in the back garden or popping the odd bunny or rat you won't go far wrong mate.

 

I wouldn't want to shoot live things more than about 20 metres though with it 25 at the very max as the triggers are usually terrible on them and consistency is particularly poor so wounding would result at further distances.

 

Si

 

Best of luck with it.

Chinese Custom Lion? Is that a Custom DB4?

[lurchermania 25]

had one similar mate so i will tell you what i did was cut 6 inches off the barrel its was amasing how much easier it fitted in the bin hahaha oj mate

[furgle 14]

its one of those chinese things

 

brilliant for playing golf with or using it as a preist

 

^^^^ TRUE THIS lol

 

I had one of these for a few months and there so cheap made its unreal but if it shoots straight and your close enough im sure it would kill a rat,rabbit or the odd pigeon

 

 

Atb mate

my first gun heavy as hell smk underlever i gor it forty pound from the fishing shop new with a 4x20 scope total shit

[garfield 23]

i would only use it for plinking mate to be honest i've not seen one of these do more than 5 ftlb so aiming it at anything living is just a waste of time but as a garden plinker (which is what they are marketed as) its perfect

[olim 28]

why not find out for yourself, do some targets at 20 yards, 30, 40, 50 to see what the groupings are like and how capable you are then you can put up you results on here.

[jackinbox99 41]

Ive got one just like this, hell of a recoil and noisey as hell - mainly from the spring / hammer.

 

I chrono`d mine and it was kicking out 6ft/lb. But, it was actually fairly accurate out to 35 yards or so and accounted for a few unlucky magpies in my back yard.

 

Certainly good fun for plinking and messing about with, and like others have said, for £30 with that red dot thing, its well worth the money.

[rossy08 33]

its most deffinatly the db-4. westlake lion,there the same thing.

 

the ones that i have chroned over the years go up and down like a hookers nickers power wise.

 

had some at 10 others a very poor 4,just the way there mass perduced to very poor levels,

 

smk do import them but they are not to be confused with the guns that carry the smk badge.

 

they get ripped to bits,and to be fair they are crap, but i have sold countles hundreds of these over the years,and they have got many a hunter into the sport, (we all start somewhere). so for that reason alone they have to be given some credit.

 

they must be one of the best selling rifles on the market,due to there price. and as a back garden plinker there just fine.

 

befor you think about shooting live animals,get the time in on the targets to see what you can do with it,and get it chronoed,as like i say from one gun to another there power output can be very different..

 

all the best with it mate.

cheers for all your comments people. it is just for a bit of back garden fun so not expecting to much from it. i used to have air rifles as a kid and then along came women and everything else i was interested in kind of just disapeared. but this cheap and cheerful rifle has drawn me back in and the saving for a hw80, s400 or bsa ultra multishot has begun

[secretagentmole 1,701]

They are fun, a Westlake B2 drew me back into the shooting game (rifle and scope £40 from Wells-Next-The-Sea)! Rough as a badgers backside little plinker, sort of accurate and not well finished, but for the money I was not expecting something that could shoot the tip off a gnats bell end! Mind you the wife shot herself up the backside with it, brilliant shot that was! She was holding the gun and firing away from herself as well!
