A bit of an impulse buy again, after spotting a pistol on CS classifieds, then deciding i want a better one.
Anyone on here used or got one? Think a few people posted up when i bought my rifle last year
Are you driving up to Edinburgh to buy it then?

i won't be shooting cats.
It will be delivered to the gun shop up the road to me. I bought it from a different website for £220, but didn't have a great description of gun so linked the other one.

£220 for the .22 is pretty cheap.

Is only bad if it's a spring air rifle, co2, pneumatic etc are fine to be dry fired.

If you don't use it then it seems pointless to spend £100 to repair it.

Thats the same as a Webley Nemesis, they were awesome pistols.. Bit of a big to load and charge though compared to CO2 stuff

Second to shooting your self in the eye... 
You should always maintain your stuff to, keep the barrels clean and always lightly oil everything then wipe it clean... I tend to clean my barrels with shoe lases and GT85.

Nah, he sets them at 11.5ft/lb, it will just be much nicer to shoot with.
