Oh Begorrah!
I was doing so well, I resisted a Nickel 92fs, I resisted a Nickel CP88 and then I went & fell for an SSP target rifle with no rear sight and missing foresight inserts, what am I like!

Adam,
Good call! Ooh I really hadn't about that thought, I was thinking 10m and Bell Target!
Good one though, but should I be modding a Walther LGR Universal? It's a bit of a classic.
I bought it partly because it fits into my classic air rifle collection as a ground breaking development - HW80, JB1 Titan & Parker Hale Dragon, Mk1 Daystate Huntsman.
Whaddya think?

i think you need the first airgun to have an computer built into it

Hasn't that already been done? Daystate?

Or am I being even more of a twonk than normal

yes, yes and no more than normal

if hes collecting ground breaking air guns then he should have one of the ones with a comp built into it

Electronic triggers were done before Daystate. Don't know who the first was but Feinwerkbau had the model 90 pistol. First gun with an electronic controlled firing valve was I think the Harper Wolf pistol (and rifle made from the pistol action).

Sol,
Like cars, airguns with computers are an abomination.
I drive a car with a management system because I don't currently have the space and time to restore something that suits me better.
I have the space and time for airguns and where electronics start I stop!
Have you seen some of the posts? "My Daystate forgot who it was and I had to send it back to Daystate for a new motherboard" !
My HW80 is probably 20 years old, my BSA Meteor is nearly 40 years old, what's the chances of something with a motherboard lasting that long?
You just want me to spend lotsa dosh

sounds like your getting old Nick, whats next a rant about Facebook or how many channels there are on the tv












facebook is #### but you get the drift

[magicniner]

Oh no,
I'm on Facebook, and LinkedIn
I just hate stuff that's designed to fail within a reasonable working life, and an airgun with a motherboard is a prime candidate for a set of wall brackets in a lot less than 20 to 40 years!
