Not for the first time.

I'm reasonably well equipped when it come to shooting equipment Smile

Except in the air rifle department, I have a HW80 in bits as an ongoing project, but I fancy a pre-charged rifle againConfused

I was out with my rimfire last week when two wabbits presented themselves in a spot not suitable for .22lr. An air rifle would have been perfect.

On a concrete path, that would have potential to cause that famous Orish man, Rick O'shay.

Yes early mk2's had an anschutz trigger unit fitted.

The gamo trigger fitted to the mk1 can be tweaked.

Not sure yet if I want a 12ft/lb of a FAC Huh

FAC can be picked up a lot cheaper.

Well I've looked at two Rapids in the last 24hrs not closed the deal on one yet, but I know it's gonna happen.

I do like using an air rifle now and again. It sharpens your field craft, because of the short ranges, required.

Air rifle?

Take a good laxative and the urge will pass.

The last gun I sell will be a spring powered air rifle, it's the most useful.
