pianoman 3,587 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 HW80 .22 spring rifle. Absolutely beautiful to shoot. Quote Link to post
zesto 9 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 TX200 MKIII .177 with Vortek PG2 FT kit installed. Runs about 14 ft/lbs and shoots beautifully. Great for rabbit hunting. 1 Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Rapid mk1, absolute mustard Quote Link to post
salop sniper 32 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) I have a Daystate Huntsman Classic .22 30ftlb running on 16gn JSB's. Love it to bits, the 30 shots is plenty for me and it really hits bugs hard. I shoot to 65 yards but I am putting the time and effort in practising with it on paper to 75 & yards. I have found it so versatile that I sold my .22lr and .17HMR, the FAC Air does 95% of my shooting now with the rest split between sub 12ftlb air and shotgun ! Would be list without it now.

Craig Fosse 286 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Air arms s200, but still sub 12ft/lb ...I just have to have it as I'm in jersey haha Quote Link to post

Acuspell 329 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 The Rapid has stood the test of time - I have a friend who managed 1458fps from a .22 with Crossman premiers out of his "experimental" rapid, it needed a 23" barrel to achieve that mind. He has four Rapids, this is one he uses to try out ideas - accuracy at that speed was non existent, and the noise was deafening - he just wanted to see how fast he could drive a .22 pellet from his valve and hammer set up. Running at around 975 fps gives best compromise of noise, air efficiency and powwr - it means a .22 is around the 40lb mark, but with 24gn pellets you can achieve 60ft-lbs and great accuracy, but it uses a lot of air. Most .22 FAC Rapids run around 36-40lbs, for practical reasons. 30ft-lbs from .20 is also a very efficient and potent round. Quote Link to post
GSkye 94 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Seems like a few S200 and Rapids, which is best? There's only one way to find out..... Quote Link to post
just jack 998 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 i had a hw97, not keen really so got rid as it kept shooting stuff so i reckon it was very inconsistant Quote Link to post
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 S200 in FAC? I'd love to see that one up and running. How many SPC? Quote Link to post
Craig Fosse 286 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Depends if it's regged or not mate, no chance in hell if it's not regged, then again you could go down the route of getting a hw100 cylinder from A and M fitted to it.... Anything is possible . Quote Link to post
Acuspell 329 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 S200 in FAC? I'd love to see that one up and running. How many SPC? An S20 doesn't have the air capacity for FAC - what would you get? 10 shots? Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Air arms s200, but still sub 12ft/lb ...I just have to have it as I'm in jersey haha What's the power limit on Jersey fella? Is it 12 ft lb like on the mainland? Quote Link to post
