pete123 45 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Just had a mark 6 .177 back from the gun shop after having all internals replaced and all new seals. Now it has some punch for a little gun. I got this for my nephew and he is bouncing with excitement but at that power I might take a coil of the spring as its a bit tasty to cock. However next to no recoil and I must say first time I fired a meteor since I was a kid the trigger is bloody lovely! Quote Link to post
Bossmugler 14 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ah I used to love my Beeser meteor, lots of memories with that gun Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 id leave the spring alone let it bed in first then see how the power is 1 Quote Link to post

kruby01 114 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 my mate had a meteor and got a head shot at a rabbit about 20 yards and it bounced off its skull and the rabbit ran off Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 11.8 is a bit much for a Meteor, they tend to like around 10, she will shake to bits.... Quote Link to post
pete123 45 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 It sure is a little cracker hobble cheers! But to be fair not much left of the original gun and I was very suprised at the power was expecting 10 at best. Quote Link to post
