The raptor cocks the action and moves the mag round with one single bolt (like the S410). The hawk on the other hand, has a bolt for the mag, and like other falcons, a seperate bolt for cocking the action.

Can someone please explain the difference between the raptor and hawk falcons. I have been on their website and its about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Having had a look it appears the main difference is the cocking?
Anything to be aware of when buying (common faults etc?)
Cheers

Thanks Martin. I did own a titan singleshot 10 years ago and wondered what the difference was. I have been offered a Raptor .22 with 4 mags, 19" action, beech stock sling, nikko scope, gunbag etc for £250 and in mint condition. Looking on the BBS it appears to be a reasonable deal.
Thanks for your help

If you don't want the raptor at that price PM me and I'll make sure I have sold the cat
j*sus what cat do you have a tiger?
Well, when I say the cat I mean as manay cats as i can find. Pobably to the local kebab shop
Well they say everything tastes like chicken but I don't do kebabs though. I take it the falcon deal is worth it then?
I normally use .177 I have a steyr and a seriously modded 400 (well the missus does now as she nicked it!) and wanted it for plinking in the back garden to get away from the seriousness of FT etc. I suppose I would have no issues selling it on if its not for me?

The Hawk doesn't have a bolt for the mag - it has a button and probe system. Press the button and the probe flies back. Push the probe in to seat the next pellet then cock the action by the side cocking bolt. I had a Hawk system and it worked flawlessly.
evening..... have you bought the falcon or if your are not going to pm me because i have 3 falcons so far and would happily buy this one.
for plinkin in the garden! try hitting tictacs at 35 yards ,i find the falcon is all ways thorght of as a bit off a dinosaw but i can put 16 acupels in a 20 p bit hole at 35 yards , v under rated, hawk mags are 8 quid

Only comment to add - I had my old Titan converted from single shot to Hawke multi-shot this year (great service from Mr Cooper et al - they must've been in a quiet patch ). The mechanism for reloading as described by Darren is a bit noisy - so for hunting it's a bit dodgy.
Accuracy-wise, this old gun in .22 gives my .177 AA S410 a run for its money.
BUY it before you lose it!!

I love my Falcon Raptor, dunno if Id ever want another rifle .Buy it!
Rifles come and rifles go, but I'll always have my FN19RS
Thanks for the advice guys. I will part with my hard earned wedge on Friday and pick it up then. Big Dave I will keep you posted when I get it and whether I will be keeping it or not.
Cheers
