someone is happy tonite
ok so in terms of a jap knockoff i have just managed to purchase, can someone suggest a better rifle that doesn`t have made in taiwan stamped on it and is going to be decent enough for a beginner in the world of rifles??
Some good names to start with are BSA, Webley and Weirauch. You'll get a much better deal if you have a look at second hand
also i did ask a while ago and would really appreciate an answer as i don`t understand it, what is the 4X32 about on the scopes?? is this regarding distance it can see etc?
It means the scope will magnify 4 times and the front lens on the scope is 32mm.
my current rifle is a BAM XS-B19 (also known to a lot of you on here from today as the "Miracle Rifle" ) which again is a cheap jap knockoff as far as i can tell ( not to mention the "Made in Japan" stamp on it )
But it has a 4X32 scope on it, hits everything i point it at, and may not last a year due to me adding an OX Spring to it. but its my first gun for nearly 6 years and i am happy with it.
When you say 'hits' I'm hoping here you mean tin cans and the like. These cheapy chinese rifles are really not suitable for humane quarry dispatch
what i wanted to know originally was if i could get or fit a high power spring to the rifle i left a link to, but to find out that is also a jap knockoff that proberbly won`t last 2 shots with a higher preformace spring in it. obviously i won't bother with it.
If you spend some decent money on a decent rifle you won't need to muck about with putting OX springs (which are rubbish BTW) in them, a properly manufactured rifle will be a finely balanced piece of engineering which will work best with the spring it was designed to have in it
i don't doubt a lot if not all of you know far more than myself on this matter, but what would of been nice would of been some corrections to what i have been babbling on about or an "are you sure that distance is correct" rather than having nearly 2 pages worth of mickey takes
Sorry mate. It's a combination of understandable paranoia about people trolling and just plain amusement at the misfortune of others, nasty but funny nonetheless
weevie is the first person i have read a message from that points out i have a lot to learn but offers some information at the same time.
Weevie is a nice guy of course...you can trust him, honest!
I am first to acknowlage that i know little about rifles, i know how to take them apart and repair them when needed and have never had a problem putting one of my cheap guns back together, or using it etc and i am fast to learn on a subject to.
sorry if this sounds "off" in anyway as it is'nt meant to but this is the first messageboard i have been on regarding a particular subject, and had such a hard time from one very ( yes i admit it ) inacurate post.
Yeah this place is a bit rough and ready sometimes, the airgun forum is much more polite I believe but I personally think it's a lot more fun here. Once you get to know the people on here you'll be fine
