johninderby Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just go for one of these. Right proper guns you could say. Will make any PCP look like loose change. https://www.hollandandholland.com/guns/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda get the feeling that on there if it's not a R10 or an AA410 or a Daystate then it's getting flak! maybe it's just me but it certainly put a spanner in the works for the Gamo. The Weihrauch HW99 seems to get a fair bit of praise especially after its been sent somewhere to be fettled. https://www.solware.co.uk/weihrauch-hw99s-breakbarrel-full-power-air-rifle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johninderby Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The "Tank" vid was a waste of time as all you could see was a hole suddenly appearing.No sign of bits flying off. . Think a series of stills would be better linked into a vid. Wll try again tomorrow. John 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) I don't have any pictures but this was my most recent purchase the other week... https://www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk/beretta-692-sport-12g So far I've only used it twice but hoping to go a lot more. I only went out to get a B525 and ended with this lol. I might still get one as my game gun as my current is a sporter and I wouldn't really want to take it out into the field.

johninderby Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Vanguard U-Yoke shooting rest arrived. Well yesterday actually. Fits on top of my Manfrotto 475 geared tripod. Way over the top weight capacity wise but as I’ve already got the tripod why not. The geared column will be really usefull for getting the rest at just the right level. Ideal for pistols as well as rifles. John Edited October 11, 2017 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 What about testing it? I mean what if he lives in a flat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I wouldn’t want to buy it unless I heard it being fired. If it’s less than a year old it should be fine as they are very well made but you never know. Dry firing it just once can cause a lot of damage. Shake it and it shouldn’t rattle as the spring mechanism should be pretty quiet. Either take it it somewhere where it can be fired or fire it indoors if he has a suitable indoor backstop which isn’t hard to make.

johninderby Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) HW45 vs HW75 Yes the HW75 is less powerful than the HW45 but has the advantage of being a single stroke pneumatic pistol with no recoil and is more accurate. Not that much more expensive than the HW45 Black Star and powerful enough for back garden use. Hmmmm.

John The Black Star is dual power and a TbT tuning kit helps to tame the recoil of the 45 Ive also got a upgrade piston seal on the way from Australia https://www.customairseals.com/product/weihrauch-hw-25-45-piston-seal/ When its arrived the Black Star will be stripped down and have the upgrade parts fitted and the internals deburred and polished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
