    How good are Kral PCP rifles

    Been looking for a multishot pcp air rifle in .25 calibre and after doing a google came up with the Kral range I am after a sporter stock version and I particularly like the walnut puncher but have not been able to look or handle one in the flesh , as they are Turkish made and in early years Turkish guns did not have a favourable following I would like some thoughts and details from owners , how good is the accuracy from the rifling , are they consistent , what is the general quality like , are parts easily sourced and is there a stockist that sells and ships a 12 ft Lb version to UK .
    a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
    This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

    I had the misfortune to own one of the early punchers. I couldn't recommend one sorry. Faulty mags (which were eventually upgraded), pellet fussy barrels, and not so hot grouping. Alter the power on the adjuster and POI changes, oh and it twangs and is moderator fussy. It did look nice though.

    I own two puncher breaker Krals, in both calibres. One has been trouble free, the other was bought as a project and although a pain to sort is now spot on. The early punchers suffered with rubbish mags, fragile valve stems and rubbish .177 barrels. All that has now been sorted and would recommend them. Range right the importers are superb to deal with, with a great gunsmith. It's a shame Kral didn't get it right in the first place as I think a lot of damage to their name has been done.
    With regards accuracy my .177 loves bisley mags and the .22 rws super field, both hitting spinners at 50 yards with ease. The new mags are flawless, the guns are built to last

    The model I owned, was the first on the market, maybe 18 months ago'ish. In.177, it manifested all the problems Peddy describes.
