    Whenever I'm a bit low and need a laugh

    I browse the CO2 pistol prices on the websites of too many of our UK retailers.

    And laugh my b......s off. Especially when they crow about their keen pricing.

    Won't mention any names as I'm sure you already know them.

    This is the one that made me laugh recently, it's the way he describes it, I know I love BSA's but I wouldn't big them up this much, especially one of the lower models.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Exactly!

    The full power bit is a little bit worrying as well.

    That guy again. Insane. Or unscrupulous and preying on the ignorant or gullible?

    It probably is full power. Full power for a Meteor.

    Unless it's had a full 1980s Bowkett tune, the only way it'll make 11 ft-lbs is with the pellet skirt liberally dosed with 3-in-1 oil.
