I will take you to my local dealer who always has some second hand guns which I will arrange for you to try while you are there if that helps.

I will wait to hear from you matey. Phil Very decent gesture that, good man .Did something similar with my lad a while back, who's been shooting since he was 10, he's now 25. Had my heart set on a HW . Shouldered one and a couple more HW's, a couple of dianas and bsa's ............. came home with a brocock jubilee! Lol Fell in love with it as soon as I shouldered it! Lol Those jubilees mate... Limited edition so I remember. Nice. Very nice. Bit different. 1 Quote Link to post

Lol Those jubilees mate... Limited edition so I remember. Nice. Very nice. Bit different. Yes it was no 12 of 50 in .22. Very very accurate and light, beautiful rifle. But I'm afraid I didn't do it, or myself really, the justice it deserved. Didn't get out with it more than a few times, due to relationship issues lol. And at the time I wasn't really that clued up on pcp's, only shot my son's rapid .20 once, and his ultra .177 once, before we went to look at what I had in mind. And to be honest, pcp's can be quite forboding if you aren't that much of a 'shooter'. Anyway, sold it to a part time keeper who's over the moon with it, and I've gone back to something I'm more familiar/comfortable with, a birmingham made webley stingray .22, that my son had tuned for me and the barrel shortened, and it's accurate as feck and hits hard with accupells Quote Link to post
