In General Is A 22 Springer Shot Cycle Nicer?

[Newlife2 55]

Hi Newlife, Your in Canada i see

As said, what power level laws are there in Canada ? We are sub 12 ft/lbs kinetic energy max`.

Well i am no "boffin" but from what little i know the weight of your rifle and lightweight piston = low recoil. The compression stroke length plays a major part too.

The Air Arms TX 200 has a short compression stroke, light weight piston and is "heavy".= less recoil displacement. Put these facts on good quality shooting sticks and a good quality scope the .177 cal comes back into the room, "big style".

So much so that you are matching pcp`s, that is why my back up rifle is a T Rex 200 .177 mk3, (now it is no back up, it is used just as much)

Hold sensitivity plays a major, major role in accuracy,= low recoil, Heavy rifle', heavy scope, light weight piston, short compression stroke.

 

Hope my memory is there abouts, -

 

Good luck with your choices

 

 

P.S. i`m sure some of the springer lads will put me right if i am wrong but should`nt be far off. atb

Sorry for the delay, technical horror show here, computer !!, anyhow we need a FAC (PAL) licence here for anything over 6 FP, and when it is approved the sky is the limit. My most pwerfill springer is a .22 TX200, has a Vortek kit in it , puts aout around 16 FP, also have a newly arrived and tuned HW95 .22 at 15 FP which will be in my hands in about an our for a full evaluation,

I believe that the .22 cal is a little sweeter on the firing line.. IMHO. Thanks for your thoughts folks..

So what is the process over there for a hunting rifle IE a .30-06 for instance, is it the same license,or is one not required?

Same licence -- a licence de tir (shooting licence) or permis de chasse (hunting licence) for anything up to 3-shot semi-auto.

Same as for the FAC/ or what we call PAL, basically same as your paperwork and waiting time. We don`t have any face to face with the police to finalize things..
