    old anschutz 250

    hi all

    new photobucket account so feeling lucky i thought i would
    risk another,this is a 1974 Anschutz 250 i bought from
    City Air Weapons in the midlands in the late 90s
    still shoots ok
    regards

    Nice one!

    I managed to pick up a Anschutz 250 action only from the Webley Wallis & Wallis auction. It was as good as new but no stock. It took me a while to pick up a tatty one complete with stock. I wonder if Webley had been looking at it to develop their own re-coiless rifle.

    Just rebuilt one of these including the hydraulic damper unit. They are a lovely rifle to shoot, absolutely no recoil and super accurate. The guy I did the job for wants to sell it but not sure what to ask.

    To tell you the truth I havent used the rifle that much with it being to heavy. 'Arthur' in the left elbow/shoulder and Im a leftie . The action when I picked it up from Wallis & W (via Target Sports of Bolton) had seen very little use going off the condition. I guess it hasn't had 500 pellets through it. On the odd occasion I have shot it I find it to be totally recoiless with no vibration. When I get chance I will put it over my chrono and let you know the results.

    Les, thanks, he will probaly want a bit more as the service cost him £72 with the new seals and spring etc. I am thinking of offering him one of my PCP rifles in a swap as I liked shooting the 250. Regarding power they do about 6 ft lb.
    Garvin your inbox is full, you can use the pic of course.

    I was just able to see your 250 and not your collection. We all have to start somewhere.

    Damn computers. Why cant they be easy to work like airguns?

    Hi ian
    when i first tried viewing my post on laptop all i got was a blank white screen
    but i did get a picture on the ipad, when i did manage to get a picture its
    sometimes 1 picture and sometimes the full collection when i googled for
    a fix for the white screen people are saying this is a common problem
    you may find if you try again you will see more pics
    regards

    Success!!!!

    Wow! Some quality pieces there and some lovely custom wood work. Quality not quantity.
    A few classic and rare pieces like the GC2, of course at least one HW35 Export, a '98 and a FWB Sport. Classics.
