mark williams 7,553 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I visited Manchester Air Guns today to pick up a Mamba lite 4-16x50 scope scb ret. When i got there the owner had made a mistake and it was a 4-16x44 which i already own !!! Anyways i picked up the compatto, was told to dry fire it and the sound was like a knat`s fart in a beer glass . So i went on to check her out. shouldered her, checked the "PLASTIC" stock etc, etc,- my first impressions were how cheap and nasty is this ! The recoil was very heavy indeed ! - Me giving it back ! - felt awful. So picked up 1,000 Falcon Accuracy Plus (.22, 13.4 grain) for my HW 100 ks to try out a flatter and faster trajectory with extremely good accuracy i`m told . Oh! got my divers bottle filled too. Looking like a new High End ? Hawke scope for the HW 100 kt .177. atb 3 Quote Link to post
random 659 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Ha thought you were going to tell us it is actually quite a good gun! Looking at those pellets myself,keep hearing how good they are,too many sodding pellet choices that are supposed to be good and even when you find one that you are happy with and works well in your gun you keep looking! Suppose that's some of the fun though... You got to wait for your scope to be delivered again now? Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 If those pellets are any thing like they are in my HW100kt you will not be disappointed , at 40 yards got them through a polo mint hole 1 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,553 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 It will interest me what the reviews do say Mitch and i`ll say no more than that mate. Thank you for that scope nudge mate,- is it anything like the scb (xmas tree reticule) ? Don`t know why but that reticule makes me shoot quite decently. atb 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Yes it is mate , great scope IMO 1 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,553 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Oh nice one Mitch ! I`ll check them out mate. "Thank You" Quote Link to post
neil82 1,080 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 recoil, I thought the compatto was a pcp, or is this just another "slag off daystate and anything related to them" thread????? 3 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 recoil, I thought the compatto was a pcp, or is this just another "slag off daystate and anything related to them" thread????? Same. Topic title makes no sense. I'm assuming, knowing mark, he means brocock compatto. But in ref to the wankness of DS. Quote Link to post

philpot 4,997 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Heavy recoil Mark, that doesn't sound good at all. Phil Quote Link to post
jonnie bravo 572 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I think he meant recoil as in he threw it back at the shopkeeper! The guy sounded like a bit of an eejit, I would be a bit annoyed to trek to a shop to find out he told me the wrong lens size. Would have gone some place else to buy the falcons! Good luck with the falcons mark my ps enjoys them. 1 Quote Link to post
