Yeah, i got a Rifle !
 

Ohh all HELL is gonna break loose now. I purchased a firearm http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/excited1.gif or in better words an Air rifle

Nothing to fancy about, it puts out about 12 joules, its stock is cherry (i think), no plastic and that all for 300€ not bad
Here are a few pics,

I´m thinking about staining/tarnishing? the wood to something dark, maybe even black, but we´ll see about that

Looks pretty fancy [thumbup]

Cool... what kind of ammo does it use? Also, is it CO2 or pump?

Break Barrel with a Spring and Piston.

Looks like an early Weihrauch HW35.

Every Air Rifle I've had barr one has been a Weihrauch.

Had a BSA Airsporter, HW35, HW35E, (extended barrel) and then an HW80.

The HW80 being the best, .22 Calibre, Custom Spring, Lightened Piston with the End seal being made of PTFE ingrained Plastic with a rubber seal, Tuned by Venom (UK tuning company) Pushing out 32ft/lbs (nearly 3 times the legal limit), The Scope was an Optima 3x - 12x X 56mm with Custom Glass etched Reticle with Windage dots and Lines (much like a Periscope). Also fitted with an Laseraim red laser, and various other addons, A Spirit level being one of them, cost me over £1000, 20+ years ago.

Could shoot 10mm bulls all day long at 50 yards and I could hit a 30mm Bull at 100 yards, 9 times out of 10.

Oh! the joys of being a Young Adult with no responsibilities, and going shooting/hunting for 8-10 hours a day.

Someone's going to lose an eye...

It is a Weihrauch HW 50
The Company Weihrauch is just 10 miles away from where i live :)

I would have loved that 12 years or so ago. I was obsessed with shooting stuff. But nowadays not so much. I'd only use it to smash stuff rather than hunting so there's not much point.

Guess I'll just have to make do with my cheap air pistol http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/blush1.gif

Shoot some rabbit for me.

Nice Golem, once you "catch the gun bug" it is hard to kick it.....trust me! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif It is like having two hobbies in one. Shooting and making them look badass. Good fun indeed.

I have an entire plan charted out of mods and changes I wish to do to my guns. All shall have to wait until after I get the finishing touches done to my home. GF and her two daughters are moving in soon.

Can an air rifle be classified as a firearm? There's no fire. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo.../confused1.gif

In the US, technically no according to the legal definition. In the UK I am not sure. I believe they have to get air rifles due to law and or because of the headaches involved to obtain a gun.

In the wonderful state of New Jersey, USA, an air rifle is indeed classified as a firearm. This means that in order to purchase one, you must have a firearms license, which involves fingerprinting, mental health and criminal background checks, and waiting a long time. An air pistol is even more paperwork and a longer wait time, as it is classified as a pistol. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/wacko1.gif

I think in the UK you can obtain an air gun with zero licence or scrutineering as long as it's below a certain 'power'. I think all pistols are ok without licence but i'm not sure.

Serves NJ right for allowing that atrocity on TV. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif

jk of course.

In the UK you can have air rifles legally (own a couple) up to a legal limit without a license.

hmm good question http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/wacko1.gif

It still fire's something... I think that's the point.

The legal limit for an air rifle in UK is 12 ft.lbs.

I used to love shooting targets but they changed the law in uk :(

You can only shoot on private property or at a gun club now. That's understandable.. but i used to like going up onto the moors (out of the way) and placing targets. Now i just feel way to paranoid so i don't shoot....i don't want to join a gun club and my garden is too small to set targets at a decent distance [no]

I have a Cometa 300n .22 in nickel and black.

Mine doesn't have the tunnel front sight though, it has some kind of 'day glow' sight.
My scope is just some cheap smk http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/blush1.gif

Damn i wanna go shooting now http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/unsure1.gif

Btw golem...i know you've just got your gun and you probably won't feel the need to right now...but i would suggest you get at least a 4x40mm scope! The FOV on a 4x20 is just too small IMO and they don't let enough light in later in the day http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/wacko1.gif

Nice I have an RWS Model 34 myself in .177 and it is a nice little air rifle. Good for plinking or goofing around with squirrels or rabbits.
