JamesLeic 0 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I was considering importing one of these monsters to the uk my firearms enquiry officer says it should be fine as range have approved etc was toying between a Quakenbush outlaw http://www.quackenbushairguns.com/LA_Outlaw.htm or a Gargoyle http://www.bgmfairguns.com/gargoyle.html with walnut thumb hole stock What do you guys think and which one would you have given the choice?

Yeah you get two shots per charge at about 600 ft plbs the other rifle gets 2 at approx 500 ft lbs with a weaker finisher, fire arms have already approved it im just waiting for the ticket to arrive (already had an fac before i applied) Im looking into costs now, It is costly but with the weak dollar its affordable and besides i like my exotics and thats what this is all about sure their are bigger and more powerfull guns as well as cheaper guns but better guns?? thats very subjective... for me an exotic high power air gun that could be used at long range is what i want so centrefires and shotguns dont come into it since thats not what im looking for this isnt about saying "mines better because..." its about doing something abit different and enjoying my shooting. As for power take another look the Quackenbush im after has been used to cleanly kill 2000lb buffalo/bison its in a whole other league to wild boar this is a serious peice of kit in regards power certainly not what everyone thinks of when they consider an air rifle.

Malt 379 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 2 shots per charge! You'd need a full diving bottle to zero the scope on the f*cker! Quote Link to post

NEITHER These things are simply an exercise in what can be done, if that's what you want then great, but I can't help thinking after a couple of shots you will tire of them and wonder whatever possessed you to buy one!!

Coney 3 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 If it's high power your after check this "Bad boy" out, The Career "Dragon Slayer .50 caliber" I think you can find this beast on www.pyramydair.com it's a beauty! Quote Link to post
JamesLeic 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) yeah i seen it its nice but these are about 2-4 times more powerfull than even the career, The career is the most powerfull mass production big bore just under 200 ft lbs but if im going to the bother of importing i wanted the best ergo these hand made beauties Edited April 18, 2008 by JamesLeic Quote Link to post
