[kevk 12]

Is my qb78 good enought to hunt with I do a lot of falconry and only use gun maybe once a week for hawk food I dot have. Money for better gun at moment so u have make do with what I have got

 

It is .22. I took it to Rainford field sports an it's shoot 11.5 I have kill rabbits with head shots with it just wondering if there anything I can do to improve it or any tips on hunting with gun thanks kev

Convert it to hpa/pcp.

 

Head over to the ukchineseairgunforum or ask jetski on Airgunforum.

[milegajo 595]

To answer your first question (sorry), yes, but keep the co2 warm in cold weather.

I have nice 9-26 x50 scope on it I was thinking of getting better pellets but as I say an new an only use for hawk food can you recommend any

[milegajo 595]

Crosman premier ultra magnums slid through my 79 beautifully.

That little rifle will indeed serve you well for what you want to use it for.

CO2 in winter will (well especially in VERY cold temps) will affect it slightly, so a Zero check before each hunt will be in order just like the rest of us with springers and PCP's do

 

I've got myself a lovely lil 78 to refurbish

And that scope is way more than enough to see you right

I used to own one a wile back found it a great rifle for the price just tune it up and your have a good hunting tool bud but if your taking rabbits with head shots then it will do for hunting hope this helps atb

I converted a 79 to pcp for £74. The two parts just screwed into the paintball threads. A 78 could have a remote line or pcp rated 'salty' tube. Both are very straight forward. Cheaper than a hatsan at44/webley raider pcp too.

Thanks guys for all the advice I couldn't afford a better rifle at min as I have baby on it way in 4 weeks so I have make do with what I have

Hi I have one and it's doing 11ft/lb after little fettling and takes rabbits no bother. A very good under rated rifle and for the cost u can't beat them. As said just check ur zero at different temp. It's been said it takes 20c to drop 1ft/lb so nothing to worry about really.

Cheers
