@@peteralexbeni love my m30 and see the modern tactical style guns as a clinical like a tool to get the job done but easy to keep clean and hard to damage, still not my style, kinda reminds me of paint ball guns with the air tanks and i do think they look rather silly at a rifle range, kinda like picking up the kids from school in a full off road speck 4x4 with included winches and snorkel only to never see wet grass let alone a muddy track, of course its all just an opinion and we are all entitled to our own. great review and for what you get great price, just not for me personally. i can see this being a farmers tool or a pest control tool rather than a beauty bragger at the range

Apparently the reason the cocking lever was stiff to operate on the FAC version was because the enameling on the breech bloke was to thick which meant the breach seal was not seating properly , This problem has now been fixed . How do I know this , because I just ordered one and the supplier told me that this was the problem . Great video mate .

A great review on an interesting rifle and oddly enough I have a space on my certificate for an FAC air rifle but neither of these guns makes the short list for me, particularly the FAC model. I’m a big fan of FAC air rifles and for decades I’ve have always had one in the gun cabinet but @ 50+” long and shooting 70ftlbs it doesn’t stand comparison with a regular .22rf. I’d much rather shoot a quality 30/40ftlb air rifle that fits the gap between a sub-12ftlb air rifle and a .22rf - and there are a lot of air rifles out there that fit the bill and are a lot more practical than something the size of a rowing oar. No criticism of Andy,l love and watch every episode but being primarily a hunter/pest controller I’m struggling to find something to get excited about when compared to the offerings of other big name manufacturers. Perhaps if lead is banned for the .22rf I’ll re-think things🤷♂️.

Morning Andy I can see you’re excited by these guns but for me I’m not a fan. I don’t like the styling personally, but that is a personal thing as you said. As for the FAC version, you could just use a .22 or .17 rim fire which would cost less and be considerably shorter.

@sergentcolon110 ай бұрын
@@uksnusreviews9455 yes but at 70ftlb you’d need to use slugs as pellets will go supersonic and lose accuracy. I can’t see the point of the FAC version of this rifle, if you want vermin control then a rim fire .22 would be much shorter and cheaper and you aren’t going to be burning through tons of ammo so the cost difference isn’t really an issue. For target shooting, why do you need the FAC version?

Errrr back in 1986 I took my HW 80 to my local gun shop to have an ox mainspring fitted and according to them some polishing of the cylinder. Well after that it had the tendency to make that noise… yep I know it would have been dieseling and yes i know would have been slightly over powered. It’s funny that gun shop got its licence to sell FAC taken off them and now they only sell fishing and outdoor gear.

Awesome, the problem I had with a FAC air rifle and slugs close to the one you tested was the trajectory. Perfect bull group zeroed at 40m; Fired at 30m hitting low, fired at 60m hitting high, at 80m hitting higher, at 100m same as 80m but left. At 120m? I had no idea where the slugs had gone. So back to the accurized Ruger 10/22, banana magazines, Winchester subsonic (before they were awful) or CCI Stinger hypersonic (perfection). And why exactly are CCI Stingers £250 per 1000 now? 25 years ago they were £40-50 per 1000! Cheers Andy, keep up the fantastic work.
