Wanted: .22 FAC air rifle

[Triggermortis]

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.

Got a .22 bsa r10se if thats of interest drop me a message.

 

[Triggermortis]

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 .
Cheers

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.

 

[Triggermortis]

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?
Cheers

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.

 

[Triggermortis]

Cheers buddy, just watched it , that’ll do me

 

[Macloaded]

I am almost persuaded to swap in my vulcan 3 fac for a king due to that video, very tempting

 

[Triggermortis]

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 ?
