    They were the predecessor to the AA S4** series and better in many ways. Lovely, accurate little guns.

    They were the successor to the Titan range. They were unrelated to the 400 series.

    The 400 pretty much best them in every department but the Falcon was prettier, cheaper mags, and a lower mag height

    My 1st PCP and still love Freddie Falcon

    I'm talking about the original single shot Falcons that Air Arms bought out.

    When Falcon were bought out they were pushing the Prairie range, if you look at the RWS LR25 you can see a parts drawer lovechild of Prairie action and stock with S400 cocking bolts (bugger knows why unless it was just for the sake of difference, the Prairie bolt position was spot on).

    Always on the lookout for another CM

    I couldn't put it any better - ive got a single shot FN12 in .22 - I think the simplicity of it is what makes it so nice.

    It's smooth to use and bloody accurate.

    ..... This from a .177 man.

    All of the above.

    My first PCP was a brand spanking new FN19 in the mid 90's. It was single shot, .22 (naturally) and I have a handy little doodad that fitted on the loading tray so a second shot was available if needed.

    Thinking back, this was the only hunting gun I ever needed. Does anyone have one of those little two shot doodads? If so, do you want to sell it? I don't have a Falcon, but I could be persuaded.......
