    Anywhere in the Midlands where you can try before you buy? SFS/Solware?

    Tamworth/W.Brom within 20 minute drive will give you a rough idea of my location.

    As mentioned something close to the AA S400 accuracy out of the box, the shorter the better.

    Been watching some reviews and spotted a few guns with a short front tube and a bottle in the stock. Anyone
    know if those can be removed without losing air each time? Or are they the brands that need fettling before
    they work properly?

    Thanks again.

    Walther Reign M2 (require x3)?

    Thinking of upping the budget to the Reign M2, probably a better weight for the girls?

    Reviews seems rather mixed with many saying its accurate but when people ask questions like mine it
    doesnt get mentioned much? Not the budget I was thinking of but for something that should work
    out of the box for a few sessions before I start tweaking, thoughts?

    Seen a few places advertising it for £699 but they are miles away, anyone know anywhere in the midlands with them
    at that price? ( I need 3 of them in .177 )

    Thanks again.

    Hi
    I know not a bull pup but if it's accuracy and in your price range
    a bsa ultra clx ,they are small and light( or one of their junior stocked rifles ) can be kept short by fitting silenced shroud or atom
    Compared to my s400f carbine super light
    Can't choose between for accuracy and
    you have to really concentrate to notice any trigger difference
    ,and that's the blade shape
    Cheers ian

    BSA is a little long, looking for something under 700cm so it will fit into a fairly short sports bag.

    So many reviews and so many options, do you have to remove 1000 screws to adjust the trigger like the reign OK it's 'ONLY' 14
    but for someone who will tinker with it for ages making it worse before it gets better the 1000 screw removals is probably about right.

    Several variations on the P15/35 and several clones (from the same factory under different names) XM1?

    Making comparisons is a pain because they will list the sizes on one gun and the tank size in cc etc. but then the next gun
    they put different specs not mentioning the bottle size or estimated shot count although that maybe like vehicles mpg figures
    anyway.

    Thanks.

    I thought you were trolling me.. LOL

    JSR is only 6ft/lbs though. Can you really get 120 shots out of that in .177 ?

    OK just found they do a higher power 12ft/lbs version but still shows 120 shots per fill but no mention of the cylinder size, assume
    10" or less as the barrel is 12"? Cannot get the vision of someone 18stone 6'6" holding one of those and looking like a pistol.


    Not quite what I was looking for but shows what a minefield it is for someone coming back after being away from the sport for a
    few years. That had not even popped up in my search results.

    Thanks for mentioning it.

    not sure if its what your looking for

    But had a good experience with a P15, light short, and really accurate and flat on the trajectory in .177

    Thought I replied to this already but seems lost?


    Under 70cm and as accurate as an S400 that I used to use. I don't like the cocking levers at the very back of the rifle which I think the
    P15 has?

    .177 and a decent amount of shots per fill, 150 would be great but 100+ ideally. Regulated would be a bonus. Something accurate
    enough so they the wife does not lose interest because she canot hit anything. She gave up when we used springers but took an
    interest when she tried a PCP.

    BSA Defiant now down to £499 from Vector Air. Never used one or had dealings with Vector Air, but seems to be accurate from videos online, if a bit on the heavy side.

    If packed length is the issue look at the kral hicap, Im sure that has a folding buttstock and two 500cc bottles so to give huge shotcount

    Vector air and pellpax are both doing deals on the bsa defiant. I'd say it's a good place to start. If budget allows the walther reign is a great bullpup, that's only let down by the ping in your ear of the hammer spring.
