10 years old hmm thats old alright i wouldn't go for that.Think i remember seeing that myself.Did he also want another 100 for the fill up bottle?Mines 3 years old by the serial number sounds about right someone bought it new and after the 3 years gave it in!

Weihrauch air rifles made in uk with the hull cartridge stamp are 12ft so they don't need a license mines made in germany so might be a bit stronger at 14ft

The spring would be perfect for barns and sheds and a bit of decoying!

First of all congratulations! You have entered into a hobby that will provide you with hours of amusement, teach you self control, respect, empathy and how to blow every cent you earn on shiny new bits!

Secondly, title should read: Finally got my new rifle.....

Look up the old adage

This is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for killing, this is for fun!

It's a rifle!

Just like to thank One shot on kill for sending me those free accupell pellets.Couldn't hit anything i mean anything at 30 yards with bisley wasps now hitting 2c coins at 30 yards with accupells!

I always found the Accupells great, An affordable option compared to Crossman premiers which I think at the time were about £15 a box back in the day compared wasps ect which were a fiver!

Would love to have an air rifle but just couldnt justify another licence !!

Just fitted the qd studs today just waitin on the sling


Only thing is the rifle doesn't fit in the 3 gun safe(shotgun) with the bipod :mad:

The Aussie

Why is the Bi-Pod so far down the stock?

Is there some mechanism stopping it being mounted further up the stock. Because at the moment it is closer to being a Type 1 Lever. Albeit with the Load (weight of Firearm) and Force (you shouldering the Firearm) on the same side of the Pivot. The closer the Bi-Pod is to the noisy end the more inherently accurate it will be, did you think about Shooting Sticks, it would solve your 3 Gun Safe issue

Edit- Here is a link to describe what I'm on about.

Thats because there is a slit in the stock to allow for the cockin leaver.I had to install the qd studs for the sling and i already has a bipod so i sed id leave it on it for resting it down only as springs are good usin bipods...
