That looks intriguing.
But £1200?!

Will only use cherry lipbalm
".......the T16 will offer match level of accuracy in a recoilless non- precharged rifle. Nothing at this level has been offered before."
Hmmmm..... FWB, Original, Whiscombe and Park Rifles might take a bit of umbrage at that statement.....
nice, though.....

Where they Gas Rams ?. Maybe that is what they are saying . People say Gas Rams will knock the fillings out of your teeth .Originally Posted by JerryD
"nine point eight"
Not if they're opposing they won't.
That sidelever is very overbearing on otherwise decent aesthetics.

What a horrible looking piece of junk !

My point was that the other rifles in the post are Spring powered ? (Im not 100% sure as i have never owned any of them) so sterling could be saying they have made the first recoilless Gas Ram rifle and if that is true then they have not made it up where the others are concerned .

What will the weight be of the finished product? The same as a Whiscombe or Park I wonder as no details have been published.

Fine if you like things made from leftover spares from the space shuttle. I wouldn't give you 1200p for it personally.
This is all beginning to sound like the legendary metisse or matisse thing which went from a hybrid CO2 or HP air multishot to an overpriced single shot turd.

You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap.http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

Interesting.
"Heavy is good, heavy is reliable". Nice movie quote. Unfortunately not true. Well-designed and well-made is reliable, irrespective of weight.
Not keen on the looks.
Not keen on the resurrection of the Sterling brand. Is it made in the Sterling factory in Dagenham by the successors of George Lanchester and George Patchett? No, because Sterling folded 30 years ago.
But this is one of the few recent British (or is that "British"? - how much is actually made here, and by whom?) air guns of recent years that is interesting and that I would like to check out.
A gas-ram Whiscombe/Park copy is definitely interesting. Of course, the problem with the JWs and the Parks is that for HFT and FT they are classed with PCPs, against which they come close, but fall slightly short in comps, and for sporting use they are big, costly, heavy, less wieldy and only slightly better in accuracy terms than a top recoiling springer like a TX or a 77.
So, actually, I like this. It's interesting.
On the other hand, I think I said the same about the "Webley" Paradigm. Which never made production.

That is true for UKAHFT but it isn't true for FT.
For any BFTA events in the UK and for the World Championships ( WFTF ) JW's / SR's etc are classed as Piston rifles and compete in the Springer/Piston category.
The T16 would be legal to use in both the BFTA Grand Prix series and the WFTF World Championships in FT - competing in Spring/Piston category.

I think I'll stick to my recoiling, spring powered HR81.

Good! I'm sick of cheap tat reheated and rebadged to fool the gullible. I just hope its good value.
