    New here

    Hi all,

    New here but not to air rifles, Kral PB early mkll owner that l absolutely love. Each Time I did a Google search for anything airgun related it brought me to this forum so I thought it was time to join. Had my Kral since November 16 so I am well aware of problems with some of the early weapons, but I have a good one!

    Thanks for the welcome, but .177 shooter here, mainly use Atherton indoor range and Happy just shooting at cardboard! Neck and back problems stop me trampling through fields and over dale, the joys of being an old knacka!

    Welcome aboard to a fellow northerner.

    Kral rifles seem to be coming very popular up at our club. I bought a NP02 (.177) last summer and got some stick from fellow members because of the muzzle blast (TOUGH! ). Two other members bought NP02 last month (.22) and Ive since added a .22. (and silencers. ) Great value for money guns - but then YOU know that!

    Ian, I have read one of your posts ( I think it was you) about your experiences with the NP and have looked at the Rivirifle site, I may have to take a ride up there soon as it's only a few miles from me.

    Hello and welcome .
    There are several clubs around the North West if you fancy a day outdoors . Sat in a cabin , pot bellied stove keeping the chill at bay .
    Atherton is fine and friendly, but if you fancy a bit more of a challenge when you shoot try Rivinton or Blackbun Outdoor clubs .
