Airgun World January 2017

[TonyL]

Well, I was driving home today following a 'mare of a day at work and was thinking to myself, "Wouldn't it be nice if the January issue landed early with Chrimbo just around the corner and a tonic certainly required?"

And, guess what? It's landed, proper early.

Just had a very quick glance through and it's jam packed, as ever, with loads of excellent content, offering something for every airgunning palate.......

Amongst the top content, we have two brilliant Techie articles from Sir Jim (New Year Honour's List just around the corner), and one of them is a look inside the LGU. Matt Hirst also does an intensive test of the LGU with a new Kahles FT scope. And even Phil Hardman is going back to roots with a Boinger this month - the HW95.

So, loads of boingering content. And then Tim does a write-up on the new Tempest and his old one.

The usual excellent tests by El Tel.

Gary Wain continues his pellet testing.

More stuff on technique from young Naylor and the very enjoyable FT series from Mr Calpin.

Some military look-alike stuff and the intriguing little write-up on Milbro by John.

Pistol tests and more by Phill.

And loads more besides........

A lovely, crammed mega-issue just in time for the festive season.

Enjoy.

Wow, sounds great. I do hope the LGU gets a positve review.

Ooooo.....you naughty little tinker, you.

I just read Terry's editorial and the very excellent LGU technical article by Jim earlier. Superb, as ever, and worth it for those alone, but then I've also got the rest of the mag to go at, too!

Thanks for that Dunno about that issue but a lot of gun mags lately when I've been browsing in WH Smiths have been sealed inside plastic bags so I can't look & see if there's anything in them that I want to read about

At least now I know if this is bagged up that it's worth buying

Funny I always assume that when they are in plastic bag there is not much in them! So never buy them I am afraid..
Shame as it is nice to browse them, to see if there is an article worth buying mag for..

Hope you're keeping well, Charlie.

Go on....give it a go; I strongly suspect you'll like.

And bagged up in Smith's usually means a freebie back issue of AGW or Airgunner, too. Bonus.

Naughty? My next purchase is going to be an LGU. I've resisted for ages, but that and the Diana 34 look like being necessities.

No problem. Just had a phone call, looks like the Diana is gonna be first. In fact I have to order it now for delivery next week.

The question is which model to get? I might start another thread on this.......

Haha!

Good man, and here I was thinking you were being all bad towards the LGU.

So, the 34's coming first, then?

Yep, I have a prototype set of bits out there, but I think given the North Amercan market for these I need one here to rip apart.

Me to

Not being a killjoy, but what is the percentage of advertising in the magazine.
