FX verminator or Skan?

[mikee h]

I fancy a really short compact rifle for sitting in the hide with. What is the better gun?I prefer the look of the skan but think the fx is going to be maybe more reliable and also heard that the skan,s are very noisy . see the point of the skan with silencer poking out of the end, loses its compactness if you know what i mean.Also are verminators regged? I know the skan aint.cheers

Get a Verminator, if you get a Skan you've only got a small one man company as backup, I needed a new air cylinder valve for mine, but had to buy a complete cylinder for about £90, I had to send my old cyl back, the new cyl I received was about 14 years old, I rang Mr Childs, he said it was a new cyl, but had been in stock a long time They are unique and British, but a little too quirky for me, it's a shame they couldn't have stayed semi-auto as they were originally designed to be.

With the Verminator you have BT and Frederick Axelson for backup

The Verminator isn't regged, it is very consistant and gets over 200 shots, so doesn't need it really.

Buy the Verminator direct from BTAS as you get a 10 year guarantee from Ben, unbeatable value!

id get a verminator .... if i had the dosh to spend on a new rifle ,

even with a silencer on, the skan is still smaller than most rifles,
mines smaller (with logun) than the stock of my s300 alone,

go for the verminator

Does it have to be one of they two? Does it have to be .177? If .22 is acceptable to you then what about an AA TDR? Even in .177 a BSA Ultra is about as compact as it gets.
I dont know about Skans but a friend of mine (who owns a Verminator) said that the Verminator is noisier than he thought it'd be.

Have had a Skan and didn't like it very much. I have a Webley Spectre, which is basically the same action as a verminator, and would not part with it for the world.Have owned many air rifles and the Spectre is the only one i have now.

FX - Am I right in thinking its a Gladiator or Dominator with a different name?
Looks really nice though.

Ust add the length of a Weihrauch silencer as that's what you get from Ben, with some mods to improve accuracy

About + 6”?

also the skan has a seperate valve on the bottle which means a heavier hammer strike ?
the vermintator should have a normal quieter one,

am i correct
