Please don't make fun but newest acquisition is a Browning AirStar 200 electric

I think there must be several sleepers around as they simply didn't sell. I've seen a boxed, still labelled one in a shop in Norfolk. Unfortunately the owner wanted far too much for it. They came out just as pcps came onto the scene, so we're virtually obsolete from the start.

Aside from the noise issue, the are superb to shoot. The quality of the bluing puts many manufacturers to shame.

To me, they fit the bill perfectly. I love the weird and wonderful. Mick puts up a pretense of dislike, but I've seen the glint in his eyes when I get the "black and decker" out its case.

We are the same: the love of the "weird and wonderful"!

The William's sight eliminated it only shooting weakness, deadly with it, and it looks better I think. I continue to be amazed how Peep sights save the fun of shooting with old eyes in the backyard.

I have to admit that we treated these with derision when they were launched but I have to say, with that loading port, it looks a very tidy rifle.

How is the trigger?

The trigger is quite nice, fully adjustable but I've not touched it. Seems right the way it came to me. Shoots as nice as my Beeman R1. The loading port is just totally unique and very cool. Got new battery coming tomorrow so that should be interesting. Looks identical to those currently used in radio controlled cars. $15-20. Looked up patent, two Rutten brothers? in Belgium. I'm intrigued by their Windstar Mach 1 now, same loading port, but I think they are even more rare. How many people have a unique idea, try to make it a viable product and fail? Got a few in my collection, Targair pistol comes to mind. Markets at any given time can be cruel. I would pick this rifle over my R1 (I'm not a hunter), and it's 1/2? the cost, certainly just as well made.
