plagued with leakage problems and are a pain to strip and assemble .plus the jamming factor although there is a mod to cure that

[woodchip 2]

DONT DO IT you may aswell by a cheap chinese co2 they are on a par (i know i had one) save a bit more and get an AA or WH dont waste your money on s16 john

Sorry to piss on anyones chips here but if this is a shrouded version and you don't buy it let me know the details. This if it is a shrouded version is a brilliant rifle and with regard to pellet jam etc, I've been there, done that and although not an easy thing to admit.................it's not he rifle, just the user .

I hated mine initially and was ready to get rid of within a couple of days, I'd tried everything and so in the end like yourself, sought advice on forums, a bitter pill to swallow when told that it is you not the gun , but they were right. With most other multi shots the action is smooth, my Air Wolf can be re-loaded with my little finger , the S16, brute force is the only way, I was feckin hurtin trying to get use to it, sore thumb or what , but when mastered, I had a weapon that would match any other PCP , very accurate and light .

I regret selling mine and the only reason I did sell it was I preferred more conventional looking rifles, but I've got used to the look of this type of rifle and now use a Stealth. With regard to what has been said about filling the air tank, that is the same for every PCP in the universe

I have a S16s shrouded version that I have been using day and night for the past x5 months, bought it new from B.A.R fitted Harris bi-pod, sling/swivels and a set of 6-24-50 Mil dot scopes. This rifle has had around 1000+ pellets through it and been re-filled around x6 times it has never jammed or lost a drop of pressure since I have used it in the field. I know the earlier versions of this rifle had "O" ring problems and were passing air through the bottle seal but since the launch of the shrouded "S" model these problems have been put to rest. I know these rifles are not everyones cup of tea but I have enjoyed every shot fired with this rifle and had many many successful hunting trips and full game bags since it's purchase. The only disadvantage of this rifle in my eyes is the weight, mine with all the kit on is close to 9lbs so compared say to a S410 seems x2 the weight. However as I am 6ft+ and 19 stone this does not present a problem.

 

Hope this helps

hi coney

 

thanks very positive. will there be a mark on the rifle stating its shrouded?

 

many thanks

If it's the shrouded version the floating integral "Walther" barrel will be concealed within a full length "Bull Barrel" complete with integrated silencer, additionally printed in red adjacent to the trigger the words "LOGUN S16S" will appear. If the entire barrel is not shrouded and just has a silencer fitted to the end of the barrel I am afraid it is the first version of this rifle that has had a lot of bad press.

 

Hope this is of use.
