Hi Guys, it's been a while, good to see an NZ forum still going. What's happening in the Hamilton/Waikato scene at the moment? ------------- Benjamin Discovery Modified Crosman 22XX PCP Build Cometa 400 restocked Zorali HP01 |

Hi microbugs Can't help you on the Hamilton scene. Great to have a new old member on board again. Did a quick search on the pistol you have (WEBLEY ALECTO AIR PISTOL. PREVIOUSLY THE ZORAKI HP-01 AIR Pistol) Be keen to see a review of it if your keen. I'm assuming your both a target shooter and hunter by your guns. Anyways good to have another forum member on board again. |

Welcome back Microbugs! P.S. as I understand it the Zoraki HP-01 is more powerful than Webley Alecto as it takes 4 pumps not 3 and has the longer barrel. Sad to have sold mine, it's an excellent airgun.

The Alecto is the UK Webley branded version of the Zoraki HP-01 Light. Locally we have the HP-01 Light, and the HP-01 Ultra. The light was the 3 pump standard barrel, the Ultra being the 4 pump long barrel version. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

| I speak to Brian every few months. I think he might of been going to Aus to shoot camels at some stage. I watched a video of a guy doing that, and it's just hard out shooting. Hot, dusty, boom boom! |
