    Bought the .22 NPO2 ...then .25 ...then the .177 ….

    Like IJ all mine have been to DM80 for his wave of magic hand.

    Then I got the .25 FAC jumbo....again to DM80......who described it when he test shot it …..after his "magic"
    as "probably one of the best FAC air rifles he had shot"

    You are not paying top drawer ££ for the krals …you are not getting top drawer finish ….. but with only a little ££ spent on them ...they can give you top drawer results.
    DM80 is extremely busy at the moment …. its no wonder. Top bloke.

    Another budget pcp which far outshoots its price ticket [dont laugh] is the Artemis Model 16D. Rapid esq look alike with the bottle on the front. Again this was recommend to me by Mr Mercer - and if he says its good, its good.
    The 'Fart & Miss' comes regulated with a gauge plus a separate gauge to show how much is in the detachable bottle. Plus a single shot tray, magazine, silencer (the barrel is already sleeved and a silencer), filler, safety catch, spare seals instruction booklet and a couple of Allen keys. I got mine, (a .177 then I went back for a .22) and a three others for club members for just under £400 each if you shop around. The trigger is adjustable without even having to take the stock off, a side lever action and on a par with rifles costing over twice as much. Do a YouTube search.

    Accuracy? Well my personal best from a rest, outdoors shooting at one of those bottle targets which hold .22 blanks in a slight wind @ 47 yards is three blanks in a row! The ONLY thing Ive done to my F&M is adjust the trigger and fit a white line spacer to the rather boring ambi stock.

    Dont worry, I wont tell anyone.


    I think the only difference between the Model 16A & D is that the later has a gauge for the regulator.

    Yes it's long.

    I bought a 3D printed replacement off the bay which did the trick.

    It's not really an issue but yes it's slightly longer than the average lop. I'm average build and don't struggle with it.
