Well, that knocks the socks off anything I've got up here.

They're a pretty well stocked shop, pity they don't show the used stuff on their website because they have got some good ones there.

*sighs* I'm still missing my Feinwerkbau 124, pretty much impossible to find one these days

You know they restarted production last year?

And the Diana 54 Airking is a licensed version of the old Feinwerkbau side lever recoilless spring gun

I didn't, but now that I've seen it, I like it very much

I took some new photos of various air rifles that I have.

UMAREX XBG carbine system. XBG Pistol that shoots .177 BB with a tactical receiver that gives you a whole lot of attachment points and a folding stock. Great fun. CO2 powered.


UMAREX Morph 3x. 3 builds from a handgun to a rifle. The hangun shoots at 450 fps, and the rifle configuration shoots at 600fps, necessitating a firearm licence in Canada. CO2 powered


UMAREX Steel Force. Will shoot a 6 round burst of .177 BBs. Best thing to legally getting a fully auto anything in Canada. No need for a firearms licence for this one in Canada as it shoots around 430 fps. CO2 powered.


UMAREX Steel Storm. Will shoot a 6 round burst of .177 BBs. CO2 powered.


Grizzly Razer Pellet Rifle. Just got this cheap break barrel .177 pellet rifle today. Tops out at 495 fps meaning no need for a firearms licence to own one.


Daisy Grizzly. Will shoot steel .177 BBs or Pellets. Comes with a 4x15mm scope. A nice beginner rifle. Pump action.


Benjamin Classic .22. My favorite rifle of the lot. Includes a 3-9 x 40 CenterPoint Illuminated mil-dot reticle scope with adjustable objective. Shoots at 495 fps, so no need for a firearms licence in Canada to own one. Break barrel action.


Crossman Nitro Venom Dusk.  This one will shoot a .22 pellet at 950 fps. Need a firearms licence in Canada for this one. includes a CenterPoint Optics 4x32 scope. Break barrel action...but very stiff.

I have this one too, quite well made, converted to a nitro piston it shoots about 712 fps, the Crosman should be similar in performance, you will have to step up to the trail np XL to get close to 1000 out of a .22.

[Chako]

That is what the box stated. With that said, I have never chronographed it however.

[jzmtl]

Yeah Crosman always exaggerates... When the Benjamin nitro pistol came out they claimed 600 fps, so we couldn't have it, but out of box it shoots sub 500, so the later Canadian version is probably not changed at all other than the claimed rating.

Anyway a chrony is fun to play with. 

[Chako]

Stands to reason. I do have a chrono actually. Now I just need to find it I guess.

I like the looks of that one gents.

New to me HW 97 KT. Third owner and only a year old. Managed to cross paths with the first owner and he said that being an older/smaller man with field target competition intentions, he found it hard to keep the field target position. He'd installed a spring kit and oversize safety button. New condition still, really. It's sub-dime rested at 40 yards with lubed boxed Crosman pellets. Really enjoying this rifle. It's found a permanent home with me. (I know, not the greatest pic)

[WolfyW]

My Diana 34 Compact with muzzle weight removed. One shot through the groundhog's  noggin while lying in wait behind a tree at 20 yards.

[WolfyW]

My Diana 34 in .22 cal. taking care of pest control, as well.

[WolfyW]

A couple of HW 97 phone pics from today, including Mrs. Wolfy having a go at a spinner target. She never asked to shoot until today, and she smacked that spinner solidly each time at 30 yards. Nice !

[Gareth]

Great choices of rifles there Wolfy, especially the 97 IMO.

Thank you !

Busy with the 97.

I appear to have bought another one HFT-500 this time

[Kev D]

Nice looking rifle. What is it like for accuracy compared to the Galahad? Is it the same scope on both or is that the 56mm on the 500? It looks bigger but could be an optical illusion and my bad eyes

 

[Gareth]

Very good rifles the HFT 500.  All the best bits from the Air Arms line rolled into one rifle (or at least that's the idea).  My friend at my club certainly likes his a lot, though he has also bought a new stock for it.

[Gareth]

Did I say I've got my hands on a TX200 HC?  I'll have to take some pics of it, but it's very standard.

The scopes are the same, probably an illusion. Accuracy compared to the Galahad? The Galahad is a shotgun in comparison, the HFT is amazing

Very nice are you going to fit a TBT kit in it? They make a huge difference 

Plus they are so simple to fit

Perhaps.  Though I've shot it side-by-side with a Tinbum fitted rifle and this is a very sweet example of a TX200.  I suspect that if I was going to fit a kit to any of my rifles ATM it would be the HW97.

Wow !  That Galahad has amazing accuracy as well. Best I've ever shot

The Galahad is good but it's a 'sporting' rifle, the hft is target all the way

How old is the 97? I've seen some variable quality from them unfortunately, backed up by an incompetent UK distributor

I've never bothered to check the exact year, but it is an older one.  It certainly has the previous generation of sporter stock on it.  One of the guys I compete against had a big power drop on his (much newer) 97 due to a leak from the cylinder end.
