Air Arms Jackal impressions

[WILBA]

The side levers are not very refined by todays standards but do have a charm about tem.



Top to bottom:

Camargue
Mistral
Khamsin Mk1
Khamsin Mk2

Where you buy the bottom one ftom m8?

I did a deal with a guy last year for both the Khamsins & the Camargue. Why do you ask?

[bighit]

I had a Hi-Power . It had a full length Gunpower (Gunsport ?) silencer. L1A1 sling . a laser sight under the barrel but inside the stock and hole drilled for the beam to come out and a Nikko Sterling 3-9x50 scope .


I fitted a Theoben Gasram into it also and it shot great .

I swapped it for a Radio scanner .Stupid stupid stupid

That sounds awesome,shame you swapped it. To be honest the air arms side levers are really under rated guns in my opinion . I've got a few of them in my collection and they're one of my favourite guns to shoot. .really accurate too. The Sussex armoury versions aren't quite as nice but with a little bit of home tuning they can all shoot really well.

I regretted it a few days later but the guy had passed the rifle on already . It was around the time of the Dunblane massacre and i was getting into mountain biking so I was selling off my airguns. I had two of the rifles and I cant honestly remember what I did with the other one .

All in .22. I'd love to drop on a couple of .177 side levers but they are a rare find.

Wanted to try it for grouping with scope fitted, but I think a normal scope would not suit. Think an Elcan Specter DR looks better on it?

Make and Mend afternoon, cleanest 7.62 in the squad stuffed in back of cupboard. Everything ironed to the size of the Globe and Laurel.

Do you think they suit a military look ? Never found them that good, on mine the dot covered too much of the target, especially at distance. Had one on my customised AR7 Explorer.

Had a single point on mine but it was not great. I did give it away with the rifle though

Seem to recall one tip to try & cure the "echo box" of a hollow stock was to fill it with the foaming filler used in the building industry. Not sure how effective it would be but the theory seems to be good. The stocks on the Mistral & Camargue look very nice, aesthetically at any rate. Nicely sculpted, & no need to stuff it with underlay or foam. Suppose the pop of a 7.62 drowned out the rattles & echos from the abs stock of the SLR, but they made wooden furniture for those too.....

That one looks like an Armson sight rather than a Singlepoint...

I use the term in a generic sense like "hoover" is used for all makes of vacuum cleaner. All these sights have the same principal, a fluorescent rod that requires an outside light source to work. They are OK for a moving target, or fairly large targets, but not for precision shooting. I would never test an air rifle for getting the best grouping size using one of these.
