Theoben Gas Rams.

[Moorman 1 1,446]

Is anyone using any of the Theoben gas ram rifles...? If so how do they compare after using a precharge...?

Just sold my Daystate a very good piece of kit,thinking of going to one of the Theoben gasrams.Fancy a change.

I know what it would do just really hurt it and cause it to have a horrible wound!!

 

Be careful what you say mate It can be taken the wrong way and also make yourself look bad. I dont mean to sound condescending but you should only ever shoot airgun quarry.

Well said LOGUN.. i've also got the evo, 177, very pleased with it, consistancy of power ( 11.89 with AA field ) BMW build quality, leave it cocked as long as you like. I'm fairly new to this game, dogs being my first love if you like, so i cant make any comparrisons with the gas ram against springers or p.c.p's. As for in the field, get your zero bang on, i like to use a pellet a tad on the light side for really flat trajectory, get those cross hairs on the sweet spot..... bobs your uncle

 

Just to add on the noise front, i tried a few guns out in the shop, the EVO was quieter than the HW 97, but not as quiet as the HW 90 ( gas ram ) with the WH silencer.... The AA S200 ,the chap in the shop had let ten shots off befofe i knew what was happening Hope this helps mate...........

After using my Daystate for the past 7 or 8 years,I just fancy a change but don't want to be going backwards.Whats the recoil like on the gas rams...........?
