Air Arms Pro Sport 177 New

Not a dig at you personally, just slinging syrup.

[milegajo 595]

Oh, forgot to ask, was that with your courtesy HW35? Hows that working out for you?

[Mawders 595]

Cracking little gun the 35 and will certainly recommend for anyone looking for a reasonable break barrel. Very smooth and consistent probably only let down by the tin of RWS superdome, had I managed a weigh in of the pellets I would stake my mortgage on them being very very varied in weight! Some were tight, some loose, some nearly fell through the barrel! No wonder they are cheap. I still managed a 1 hole group at 30 yards on only one of the target cards, that was painful concentration to get it though, 5 pellets through a hole the size of 2 .177 pellets width. Some groups were like shotgun blasts but I think it was the ammo! Pro sport still away at the moment being fettled. Still I had a blast.

_{mawders bud much is it costing you to get pro sport done and what you having done to it mate}

[Mawders 595]

Ha ha, it's sadly gone back to air arms as it developed a small fault. It will be back next week. Nothing to enhance its performance. I guess even the best rifles in the world can have their problems.

what small fault might that be? out of nosey ness mate?

[Mawders 595]

The cocking lever where it meets the alloy block was majorly rubbing on cocking making a really annoying high pitch squeal, just looks like they didn't machine enough off the block and the lever is to tight a fit! Nothing major, it was still shooting 1 hole groups.

[j j m 6,533]

ok mate hope you have it back soon

[Mawders 595]

Should be back mid week. Can't wait!

[Mawders 595]

Yes mate I definitely miss her, can't wait to get her back together and back out in the field! Interesting that yours was squeaking to. I don't have the tools to polish myself and for 500 quid I don't think I should. Hopefully it will come back rectified.

No, I agree. AA are pretty good at sorting little problems but they should spend a bit more time on checking before the guns are delivered.

If it makes you feel any better I'm plinking with mine now, sitting in the dining room with a series of targets from 15 yards to 39 yards, nice warm radiator by my legs and a cracking pint of homebrew by my side. About 300 shots so far and keeping an eye out for the rat that appears in the chicken run every now and then.

Life's good!

You sir are living the dream as far as I'm concerned! You lucky lucky man! I actually just want to caress her walnut curves right now and keep feeding those pellets in. Mmmmmmmmmm.

 

I think when your a large company sometimes quality control can slacken from time to time, its nothing major and doesn't effect the rifles accuracy just bloody annoying hearing a squeak now and again. Can't wait to have her back its been to long already!

mawders what pellets you using for hunting mate

[Mawders 595]

Air arms 4.52 mate. Very accurate with them.
