deano26 16 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hello all, I recently got some money for my birthday and am now in a bit of a dilemma. Having recently visited my local gun shop and having a go with a few PCP rifles, (Namely a second hand HW100T) I am unsure on what to do; I can either spend some money on the old HW77K OR look for a multishot PCP rifle and keep the HW for the odd outing, plinking and as a back-up rifle. Unsure on what to do The HW100 is a touch out of my price range, I could probably stretch my budget if needed, but £600 is a lot to spend. I have looked at a BSA scorpion T10 tactical-any good? I would say that i would be able to spend around £400 give or take. also, i have just joined the BASC, and have not received a confirmation email, Icarried out the transaction on line over an hour ago now, does it normally take this amount of time? Sorry for all the questions and as always any help is much appreciated. Regards Dean Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Single shot, not multi like the HW or BSA, also known as a Logun Solo I believe. Quote Link to post
deano26 16 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 yea single shot, Its second hand, It is a nice rifle but i am abit unsure on the fx reliability having never heard of them. Rabbits with a .177 will still be ok wont it? Regards dean Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 FX are Swedish, very good rifles, not one of your Chinese/Korean/noodle based air rifles! You can get retro fit magazine systems for them, be worth checking for. Do not worry, it is a gun of quality! Quote Link to post
deano26 16 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thank you very much my friend! Just rang the gun shop to reserve it and ive missed the closing time buy 2 minutes! May go back monday to buy it after work Regards Dean Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Well best of luck, now start looking for the retro fit magazine system. They are still made as well, have a link on the Mole... http://www.fxairguns.com/product.asp?id=typhoon Edited October 1, 2011 by secretagentmole 1 Quote Link to post

Phil8282 8 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yes. (not delving into this one again! lol) .177, .22 or .25 will all drop bunnies cleanly, simple. Quote Link to post
