I was close to clicking buy now... very tempting. if it was .22 I probably would have. Considering it was scoped it was a bargain price to give it a go - if you didnt get along with it you wouldnt lose anything passing it on again. Ive seen them but not shot one, but reportedly a good trigger, good power and pretty accurate. They have a parkerised type finish vs traditional blueing - im more of a walnut & blued steel kind of guy myself. ------------- 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...

Hi Jason, I had one of these about 2 years ago - SIG .177. They're good once you find the right pellet - mine was very pellet fussy. I can't remember which pellet I ended up choosing but its worth trying many different types. You'll find one that suits your particular barrel.... Somewhere on this forum there's a long discussion on these SIG air rifles and how to get them really accurate. I contributed to that discussion and if memory serves me correctly, several pellet types were discussed. Good luck with the SIG.  ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE Air Arms S510 US .22 Air Arms S410 .22 Weihrauch HW97KT .177 Weihrauch HW95 .177 |

That was indeed very tempting…. There’s another one on there now: https://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hunting-shooting/air-guns-parts/air-rifles/auction-5190048083.htm" rel="nofollow - https://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hunting-shooting/air-guns-parts/air-rifles/auction-5190048083.htm At over DOUBLE the price of the first one it’s not quite as appealing 🤷♂️

My .177 and .22 were both $850 when purchased in 2020. Recent test of .177 indicates loss of 100fps so perhaps due a service however possibly more accurate currently.
