Aarya - India's 1st sporting pcp air rifle

[Griffo.]

A strange looking set up! Looks like it is from the 70's with that stock though

I have recently returned from a 2 week break in Goa, I spoke about shooting to the bar man in our frequented beach shack, I also showed him a picture of my Rapid with my night vision mounted on top. I thought he was going to die when I told him how much it all cost.

Trust me, out there that is luxury. The military at the airport don't have much better.

Bless 'em, you can get an awesome curry and bottle of Kingfisher for about £3 though!!

Oh, and although I loved Goa, the only thing that was constantly on my mind was shooting the chuffin' crows that were around the resort.

I do hope the QC is better than indian enfeilds, i saw a new gearbox cluster once when in india my mate bought for his 350cc, there was pits in the bearing surfaces mm deep! I thought it was the old knackered one he was showing me till he told me, no ,this is indian "kwality" I'd love to use it on the bombay street rats though! Seen some about 2ft long there ,crawling over people sleeping on the road at night.

Very ugly though ain't it!

I think it's looking better altogether than the prototype we saw originally. The only improvement i'd add is a buttpad 'cheekpiece add on like the verminator has. I heard a lot of the parts for early titans were made in india & a lot of those rifles are still going strong. I would love to come over to test it out & write an unbiased review of my own. What cal's is it available in? a .25 cal one would be great .

Well you are nearly there now, what you have to remember though is that we have a power limit in the UK of 12 ft lbs, unless you have a Firearms Certificate (FAC). The market for the sub 12 ft lb limit is huge, if you can produce this rifle at a sub 12 ft lb power limit then the UK could be a big market.

The pistol grip of the stock needs better anatomical profiling, but I admire the way in which you are trying to make the rifle shootable for either a left or right handed shooter. It may also be worthwhile seeing if you can lower the air bottle, say on a dropper block, so that the scope can sit closer to the barrel, helps with accuracy!

the reg at the back made me laugh and the stock looks horrid

Sorry, Not my cup of Darjeeling.
