    Most Water Resistant Design Rifle ..... ??????

    Topical thought ...

    I'm thinking a spring under lever probably

    If you were buying an 'all weather' rifle what would you buy and why, or if you have what did and didn't work out well ??

    Clearly plastic stoics will be king here, but that aside , Spring or PCP, and what mechanism ?????

    In the 1970s the trick was to put your SLR in a Government-strength condom, tie a knot in it and ford whatever river was between you and the Commie hordes. The first round should split the thing and then carry on as normal.


    A good 'all weather' air-rifle is a negelected HW35 which you spray 'stealth black' with engine paint and grease under the action. Remember to put a florescent disc on each side of the stock so you can locate it in the dark.

    never ever drop or lose your weapon. you wont need to find it in the dark.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    In the past, I would imagine one of the brocock TAC rifles would be hard to beat?

    Water resistant rifle

    I'd have thought most basic pcp rifles were weather resistant. Rapid 7, Falcons etc. - years of service in all weathers

    ak

    Before the pointless virtue signalling ban on brococks i acquired an Izmash AK105m that was chambered for a custom brocock tac.
    Made from girders and with a 30 rnd clip i reckon it would be pretty damn close to the original ak in terms of reliability.
    Gun control means using both hands.
