    I know there’s a few closet snipers on here with various PCP rifles.

    Let’s hear from the pistoleers this time. What do you shoot?

    MY current collection:

    BSA Scorpion .22 cal. circa 1990.
    Smith & Wesson Model 79G .177 CO2 powered from about 1986 (mint condition)
    Brocock Atomic Super 6 .177 PCP with holo sight and moderator.

    Westlake S2 .177 oh yeah…

    Gonna give it a tune up and see what I can get out of it, was only bought as a prop years ago so nothing to lose.

    Ah I wonder if you are the Derek Starfish they keep confusing me with..


    I have one like this, pump action, takes ages to reload, it has a silencer and scope but I dropped it once and the silencer kind of bent the barrel I think, it’s not that accurate these days.

    In addition to the incredibly reliable and punch-packing Nerf Maverick posted above, I also have one of these:

    Which is great for shooting crane flies on your walls in the summer.

    Webley Premiers and Seniors, BSA Scorpion, some funny little break actions FWB’s and a Crossman like Derek’s above. Crossman great fun for rats as it’s near silent.
    Rifles are a Milbro G40 which I had for my 12th birthday 40 years ago, HW80 K, Several pre war BSAs, something like a Quackenbush but not marked, something un-named but very pre war in .25

    Can you legally take a .22 into the woods and off the odd rabbit still?

    From the rabbit?

    We’ve still got a couple of my dad’s in the attic, he was always too scared to get them out with 3 homicidal kids in the house 🙂 A Webley and a BSA breakbarrel rifle I think. I suppose there’s a fair chance we’ll need a licence for those if the scottish air weapons bill passes.

    Myself, I have one of these most dangerous of beasts

    Not great, but had it for years along with a shitty rusty riffle.

    I used to have a webbley hurricane, i loved it but i moved to a flat and no longer had somewhere to shoot it. 🙁

    When I was a kid I had a Webley Junior with a retrofitted Ford Escort clutch spring and I made wooden grips. It was ridiculously inaccurate.

    Got rid of my Weihrauch HK 97t a while back as since the kids have been a bit older I didn’t really want to have to keep explaining why daddy had a proper rifle and their nerf guns kept getting taken away from them after shooting each other in the head.

    Give it a couple more years though and I’ll be getting another plus one for the kids to go target shooting with

    natrix – a nice range there apart from top right Chinese rot. Love the Rekord Jumbo. Is it a deluxe? I had a Nemesis. It was one of the most accurate pistols I’ve ever owned.

    Can anyone recommend a cheap but decent air pistol just to shoot targets with please? Nothing serious and no live quarry, just as an alternative to tormenting the cat or the wife.

    Ta!

    Icj – somebody’s cheap could be £30, another’s £300.

    What’s your budget?

    Fair point, I should have thought about that! Sub £100 would keep it under the budgetary committee’s threshold I should think. Is that doable?

    A Crosman Medalist in .177 calibre.

    It’s a manual pneumatic, charged by multiple strokes of the forend, so variable power. Three pumps for 6m paper target or 10 for shredding tin cans at 25m. Lots of after market custom bits to bling it up over time where spends allow! No recoil either so accuracy is very good.

    Can be had new for £89.95.

    Gamo Compact? Good enough to compete with and around £100 second hand.

    Thanks both. I’m not sure I know enough to feel confident buying secondhand at the moment, but equally am struggling to find the Crosman new anywhere 😕

    The Crosman can be found at TJ&J McAvoys (Wigan) £97.50
    and Blackpool Air Rifles

    What’s wrong with the Westlake? Granted they aren’t the best assembled in the world but for the price of a few sheets of wet and dry and a tinnie for a spring sleeve they work well enough after a strip, clean and polish.

    They are what they are but for the money they do the job well enough.

    Seriously?

    I presume that’s replying to me?

    If you have to charge it with “multiple strokes” you’re clearly doing something wrong, it’s a simple break barrel.

    Again, what’s wrong with that?

    Isn’t the Crosman pistol a pump up pneumatic rather than a gas piston/spring break barrel, therefore needs “multiple strokes”?

    Apologies, I know nothing of such matters, it merely tickled me as a phrase.

    Sadly not.
