    A few pointers before you start shelling out cash

    1 Do your research- if you are reading this, welcome to the biggest mine of air gun information there is- in the WORLD.
    But please use the search facility before posting
    2 Never go into a shop and buy the first thing you like the look of.
    3 Because its expensive it must be good doesn't follow.
    4 Get at least 3 or more choices in mind then find a local club. Use club finder on either UKAHFT or the BFTA web-sites. There will be one not too far from you that you didn't know was there. Contact them and ask to come down and try as many guns as you can from your list.
    5 Listen to what club members say and heed their advice- they will have spent more money on their hobby than you have and probably bought a few duffers in their time, hence say you on money, time and a great deal of frustration.
    6. Now you have found the kit, go to a good dealer that provides after sales support.
    7. Go back to the club and join up and get shooting SAFELY.
    8. Enjoy yourself.
    thaks very much for the tips .I am not new to air rifles (spring) but am to PCP not realy sure what to buy have a tendancy to edge towards the Air Arms S400 as it is within budget and sounds very good from the reviews.What is your take on this rifle.

    Yet again another really useful thread for a newbie. I would say if you go for a private deal write down what you want to know before you meet other wise you will forget. Also if your not sure DONT but it regardless of how far you have travelled to meet. If you can get hold of one take a chrono to check power output for both your piece of minds. Also where possible always shoot it before buying.

    Logun mk 2

    Hi guys I recently purchased a logun mk 2 whilst out shooting I let it run a little to low and as I released a shot it sounded as if it dumped all it's air , when refilling it back at home it doesn't seem to be holding any air , it just seems to be rushing out of the end of the barrel and out of the bolt housing , I was just wondering have the seals gone or am I refilling it wrong , any advice would be great .
