  1. Aah air rifles, happy days. What’s the law with them now? I remember around the age of 10 taking an air rifle down the lane looking for random stuff to shoot and a passing adult saying make sure you don’t shoot at anyone. Imagine that now, Id probably be gunned down before the first daisy head had got blasted off its stalk!

     

    I think it depends where you live. Out here in the sticks I know a few of the local kids have got some air rifles and I didn't bat an eyelid at someone walking past us in the woods a while back with a shot gun over his arm. Where as in a city all hell would break loose.

     

    Unless you live in Moss Side...... its normal there :thumb:

  2. I got one of these earlier in the year for getting rid of the rats in our warehouse:

    Since the ratties have been despatched my boys have been enjoying using it for hole-punching paper targets. A fill gives you about 70 shots before the accuracy starts to decline, then it's either a case of re-charging it using the stirrup pump or, if you're lazy like me and happen to have an old 15L scuba cylinder kicking around, you can fill the cylinder at the dive shop and pick up a charging whip for the rifle at the same time. :D


    @cockercas gave me loads of good advice when I was looking - maybe shoot him a PM (if you'll pardon the expression). :thumb:

     

    That looks like a nice tactical rifle sir. Similar to the one I want :D

    So....... you say fill with a scooba diving tank? I thought it had to be nitrogen in a PCP rifle not Oxygen......or is it nitrogen in a scooba tank? Not a clue

     

    It's a Gamo Phox, and it's been great!


    A standard scuba fill is filtered air, and is fine for an air rifle. You can get a nitrox fill if you've got the cert card, but I don't know why you'd bother - it's an expensive way to go about it.

     

    See thats because I know nothing about guns Mark :D I just know I want a PCP and the one I am currently looking at is nitrogen filled so just assumed I had to fill it with Nitrogen :?

  4. So.............

    I am wanting to buy an air rifle for some plinking in the garden but also wanting to shoot it at the range too, so dont want some scabby old thing, but also dont want to be spending a bomb either.


    Couple of guns I have taken a fancy to are both BSA's One a springer and the other is a nitrogen filled PCP.


    I fancy the PCP but know nothing about them. How long does the fill last? How do you re-fill them with Nitrogen? can you do it yourself or do you take them to the shop?


    Just thought we might have a few gun fellas or ladies on here that might give me a few tips?


    I await your responses with anticipation :D

  5. I would probably go out early anyway pal, say 10ish.


    J&S for a brew and then a bimble down to the raven cafe, and then back up the A41 over to Chester and then back up the A55 to home. Don't want anything massive, just want to try the new heated grips out :D :D


    weather dependant, we could meet at J&S....... unless you have other ideas?

  6. Yeah i went on and asked the seller why a Cat D...... he said:


    Hi, I have just spoken to the previous owner as I wasn’t aware of it. It wasn’t crash damage, a neighbours wall fell onto the bike damaging the tank and both wheels. They were renewed through the insurance which is why it’s categorised.


    Regards

    thanks
