    I am a little confused

    I am feeling more and more confused.
    I have a .22 HW77 but it thinks it was .177 manufactured with .22 barrel.
    I have .177 HW90 that thinks it would prefer to be a .20
    I have a really manly .25 HW80 that wants to be a girly .177
    I have several rifles that are ambi
    And don’t get me started on the Swedish FX that can change calibre on a whim!


    Isn’t it about time we recognised these poor souls as calibre neutral or calibre fluid or just plain Bi - stocked.

    Obviously theses rifles will only be designed to hunt vegetables and soya based foodstuffs.

    I think you need therapy. Please book a visit to your RFD as soon as possible; and don't forget to keep taking the pellets as prescribed.
    Cheers, Phil

    I have a similar problem. My S400 identifies as a springer, so I've got no option but to use it in the recoilling class. I think everyone will understand

    Try buying an Air Arms rifle and you'll have no more problems

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Now, that rifle DOES have an identity crisis, no matter how strictly and properly its poor parents brought it up!

    After a bit of work by StellaArtoisSenior on here, my HW95 feels like a PCP I’m sure the second grey squirrel that hung around after #1 would agree !
