Stoeger X20 Supressed

[Alsone 789]

Was just wondering if anyone had any experience of these.

 

Seem to get good write ups, couldn't find any independant user reports.

 

So far as I can gather, they're an Italian made spring gun that suppopsed to be the quietest gun on the market by some margin. They're also very cheap:

Sorry to keep asking aboiut different guns, but I need something for Magpies and I'm trying to keep the cost down whilst avoiding buying anything underpowered or rubbish.

 

Another intersting gun is the Crossman Benjamin Trail NP XL 1100 - I'm assuming it's available in the UK, although I haven't seen it.

 

Feedback anyone?

by a second hand hw 95 77 97 if you want to save money .One of those a bit banged up would be better than stoogamobsa

There bold claims ... bet they are a load of bullocks...

 

Get a second hand weihrauch. They are actually worth the money...

1200 ft per sec not here in the uk .hey the dude is wearing ear defenders when shooting his stowgy maybe that is to stop the quiet shock wave wrecking his ear drums or so he dosent hear the rock music.

also the second add shows quite clearly it is a girls gun.

if the gun you want to get is a gas ram .I would say no .

AH thanks. 1st hand experience, just what I wanted.

 

I'll save my money,

 

BTW if you're wondering why I'm not keen on 2nd hand, then look here:

I think that gun was very over powered and may be they didnt believe his story . my mates new gamo read 12.2 ft lbs with light pellets , its now doing 11.2 after shooting it a bit .A new gun from a shop can be over .

I have a stoeger x20s in .22 as a first gun. Bought it second hand. It is accurate out to a max of about 30 yards but within that range groupings aren't very tight until about 25yards and below.

 

It taught me some valuable field craft lessons as I have had to lie in ambush very close to runs and also I have had to stalk in very close with it so it has been useful in that respect. However if your after a serious pest control weapon I would steer clear.

 

Kind regards

Ok Thanks. I guess the Stoeger is a no no.

 

Back to the drawing board and maybe a Webley Raider then.
