    Auto is freely available and legal.
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    That's becuase it isn't a semi auto, it's self indexing! a semi auto 12FT/LB rifled airgun would be illegal in the UK.

    They are fantastic rifles but be prepared to buy pellets in bulk! there are many suppliers in the UK and lots for sale on Guntrader & Gunstar.

    Thumbs up

    They were confirmed as legal last year.
    I believe some UK suppliers are still giving the 'Illegal' line to try and offload any of the manual ones they still have in stock.

    If you can't find one locally try : https://www.krale-schietsport.nl/en/...nufacturer=282
    They'll ship to your door and tend to be competitive on price (don't forget your banks international surcharge for the transfer payment though) Takes about a week to be delivered.

    Personal preference is the Scout version as the regular feels rather long, especially when you add a moderator. If you get the scout you'll need the Steyr UNF adaptor too to add a moderator; it's shaped to clear the air tube.
    Pick up some extra mags, Bulk buy tins of Eley Wasp and get your 12L air cylinder ready for a crazy afternoon plinking every time the weather is good

    Once you find the pellet your likes you cant go wrong.
