Wanted Kent area, .22 FAC air rifle, not interested in anything that even looks tactical, Needs to be wooden stocked, unmolested and not a daystate or anything with an electronic trigger,preferably with a stock profile that lends itself to use with a gun clamp on a tripod.

Hi mate, I have a much fettled MK2 Rapid in .22 that needs to go to a new home. 16 inch barrel @ 33ftlbs. Kev G regged, delrin pip, camo stock.Stupidly accurate. The best air rifle I've ever owned, unfortunately it needs to go. I've had countless bunnies & squirrels with this while in a saddle clamp on my Bog Deathgrip.
Let me know if you want some pics/ more info.

Hi. Have a BSA FAC rated air rifle looking for a new home residing at an RFD. Open to offers. Let me know if you would like to see some pics and discuss price.
 
Evening all, thanks for the messages , I’ve decided that I want a side lever action and achieves 40ftlbs + with ease and to that end something that’s designed specifically with slugs in mind, so probably resigned to having to go for something like the FX King, which also has a power level adjustment , I’ve discovered a mate has one so I’m going to try that first for “feel” and see how I like it .

Air arms S410 not a hi powered FAC (approx. 13-14ft/lbs but down on power as need a service aim guessing but still on FAC ticket. Beautiful wood and complete with scope. Not expensive. PM me if interested. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the offer Buff, it’s looking more and more like I’m going to be buying something designed for slugs though as I need to achieve decent accuracy up to 100yds , so far the FX King with he 600mm barrel is the top contender, I’m off to the stalking show on the 13th April so hope to be buying/ordering one whilst there if I can.
Cheers

Many thanks for the offers, very kind of you all, I have however decided to wait till I go to the stalking show (unless one comes up beforehand)and get a chance to handle an FX King in .22 (as that’s what calibre is on my FAC).
I do know the power on an FAC King can be adjusted does anyone know just how low they go?

FAC dropped through the letterbox today😁
Just my luck, I’m looking for an FX King in .22 and one in .25 turns up for sale on here🫣

I'm not 100% but the FX king is pretty much designed for slinging slugs at high power, might be worth looking at a crown MK2 if you want to get down to shed friendly?
 
Hi Kev,
Although it would be nice to be able to turn the King down towards 12ftlb it’s not a deal breaker I just wondered how far they are adjustable, I do have a weirauch HW100 for shed work, it is the slugs I need it to shoot best, the pellets would be a bonus.

AHH fair enough :-) do have a hankering for the king's like, look to be a cracking rifle, especially in the grs stocks!
 
There is a video on YouTube (helpfully can't mind who albeit from uk) of a guy turning a .22 King down to 17ftlbs to great effect. It was definitely the 600mm version and he was slinging hades very accurately.
 
Well, the deed is done, I’ve ordered an FX King 600mm FAC, I’m planning on using ZAN 28g slugs as a mate has a couple of boxes available, any tips on settings, zeroing distance . if a moderator is really needed and what degree of accuracy I should expect ?
Cheers
