But I am forever a spring rifle man first and foremost. Thanks Jimmy and everyone of you good lads for your responses.Īye Jimmy, I'm coming round to PCPs with a renewed interest. PS,YOUR BECOMING QUITE THE PCP MAN NOW ARE YOU NOT O,and ill be giving the PS the once over to just to make sure your looking after her right :whistling: If i dont get down before the wedding ill have a look at her then mate Just need to get out with her now and start bagging up. And I'd love an RWS Excalibur version to go with it! Seriously I think this one might tune up beautifully on my FAC.
Philpot, Jimmy you can roll down here whenever you like too! The lads would like to see this rifle and an unbiased review of its performance I'm sure. Jamie/Rez, you'd be more than welcome to pop over to my cottage and see what you think and help me post some pics of it up here. I'd go bag it if I had the money for two! 22 shorter carbine-version FX2000 going for sale at MGR Guns of Woodhall Spa for about £350. It's going to be brilliant on roosting and feeding Woodpigeons and corvids in the woods and fields on my shoot. An eight shot string from the magazine just bangs through the hole and leaves a slightly larger pellet hole! Then I was knocking out the last few apples left on my trees at 45 metres away. It's putting Air Arms Field 5.52mm pellets (first pellet choice for test) clean through the hole of the first pellet at 25 metres range. I'm never going to part with this beauty!įilled it up to 190-bar and out for a pellet test and zero up. Someone has really looked after it and is probably bitterly regretting selling it right now. There's just a few minor nicks and light scrapes on the cheek-rest side (how come, if your mush is resting there? Oh well) but the rifle as a whole is really lovely. It's Beech with a lovely fully mellowed and aged rich deep figure of grain and very nice diamond chequering to grip and the rather pleasingly-rounded and chunky forestock. Webley air rifles were always superbly well finished and this PCP lives up to that reputation. The rifle itself is in really lovely nick for its age. It came with a Tasco 6-24X40mm target scope and I set up with that. I had the rifle out in my hands for the first time and set to work. Rifle, Tasco 6-24x40 scope, Whisper silencer and charging bottle and adaptor = £475 squid the lot. I can't be arsed changing from Daystate to Webley and all that faff, so it's a complete kit. But today, despite the high winds over my garden, I've bought another charging bottle with the adaptor fitted and that's that. Helen being Helen wouldn't let me have the bloody thing out of the Gunshop in Woodhall Spa till my 60th Birthday had passed. There are no problems with the grip.Īnd Christ, what accuracy! I've read on the net that these old Webleys were good guns but, I had no idea they were THIS good! Despite being left handed and this is a right-handed gun. It handles and shoots absolutely beautiful. Jesus this rifle is SERIOUSLY amazingly good. Boring manufacturing BS.Let me get straight to the point. One platform 12 models across three marques. PS I WILL NOT name the names of the mentioned parties here, but yes.
Whew !!!!!!!!! If you followed that, good for you. Even with the new stocks being made from American Walnut by hand here in America, they are STILL cheaper than the Tarantula importer #1 sales. ALSO, he had to pay an American stockmaker to make these stocks, and it cost more for that labor, than the cookie cutter, big stockmaking factories that make the British airgun stocks. SO, importer #2 commissioned the stocks to be made from the more Expensive American Walnut. straight grained English low grade Walnut that is used on a lot of the British airguns is much cheaper than our American Walnut, and only the rich can afford the quality English Walnut sold here in the US. So importer #2 paid to have some stocks made up for the FX actions here in America. Catch is, one of the importers can NOT get the Tarantula style Turkish Walnut with the FX actions, because the other importer has THAT tied up. Contrary to popular belief, there are TWO importers of the FX guns. What's the deal?Preface : I COULD BE WRONG.īut this is what I was told. I thought the point of getting the Webley is to get around the higher prices of the Tarantula. Now I'm seeing the 2000 around $860, no shrouds, no nothing either.
