Jack NUFC 1 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) dont bother with changing springs the xl tactical puts out 11.5 ft lbs and the legal limit is 12 without the need for a license so its pointless otherwise cracking guns Edited July 8, 2008 by ferretingkid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BBB 7 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 air arm's s200 . just got my 15 year old son one he is doing well with it crow's,pigeons, rabbit's and rat's. very lightweight and accurate and with a silencer one of the quietest pcp's around . a mate of mine bought one for shooting squirrel's a few year's back when they first came out. and he or though he shouldnt of shot a dog fox at 20 yard's and dropped it were it stood.. i told him because he did it once dont do it again he got lucky . SO dont try and shoot foxes with an airgun.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SCOTTISH HUNTER 0 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 i have just got into shooting and i am gettin a new air rifle(mainly for rabbits). i am thinkin of gettin the bsa xl tactical .22 cal but not sure. could anyone giv me sum advise? I hace in the past had expencice guns such as BSA Super 10 bull barrel and also had a hk80 , alouthn these are great guns recently i have bought a Hatsan Mod 60 .22 from Edgar brothers , this is a relativly cheep gun compared to the rest but i spent an extra £60 on getting new OX spring fitted and having the seals renewed and as it is a springer ther is no re filling of air bottles or any of that to worry about , also it is a good hard working gun which i am now using on a daily baisis and have no complaints what so ever , so my personal opinion is that spending allot of mony on a new gun is madnes (its a work horse of a gun ).

Dan_Jones 7 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I bought the AA s410k and from what ive heard they are up there on top of .22 guns out there now ... cost me but the people where right its absoltely amazing gun have had 8 rabbits in 3 trips now and i got bored with 1 of them.. so i stuck a sticl in the floor at around 30 - 40 yards , placed it on and continuously shot it threw the eye about 5 times ...

samwhittam1 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I know it sounds stupid the Crosman Ratcatcher made for killing rats... But, its light for field work, accurate up to 50-60ft and its quite powerfull for what it is, last its cheap. There are better guns out there but i like the Ratcatcher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
