Hi All, I am Inder from INDIA, so happy to see an Airgun community in NZ. I was supposed to be in NZ for few years but Covid had other plans. Wife is in UpperHutt currently so I may end up being in NZ if borders open in near future. I have been shooting airguns since last 35+ years and own few of them. Looking forward to nice conversations and answers to some of my questions. -Inder ------------- FAC Diana52 .22 with Maccari kit - Bushnell Legend 5-15*40 FAC HW97 .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 FAC TX200HC .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 |

Hi Inder, It's great to have you here. I'm sorry to hear about you being stuck away from your wife, I hope you get to be with her soon. I guess you will end up with lots of airguns without her to control things? :) What guns do you have? Cheers Paul. |

Thanks for the welcome Pauly, Hope so too, its been 2 years since seen her, her course finishes in Oct-22 so If borders open before that then I will be there otherwise she will be back. I am a springer man :) Owned few Indians and British/Germans over the years. Sold many currently own below which I think are the cream of springer world :) FAC Diana52 .22 with Maccari kit - Bushnell Legend 5-15*40 FAC HW97 .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 FAC TX200HC .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 Use to own a Pro-sport, sold it and still regret doing that. hopefully one day will get it. Import laws are pretty stupid in INDIA so we don't get to see good guns too often. Glad to be here, -Inder ------------- FAC Diana52 .22 with Maccari kit - Bushnell Legend 5-15*40 FAC HW97 .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 FAC TX200HC .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 |

| Looks like you've covered most of the premier springers there. If you get here, you'll be able to get one easily enough. |

Welcome and that is a fine air rifle collection. I would be interested in a review of the Bushnell scopes you are using. I have watched some very good pest control work videos from India using air rifles. cheers

Thanks Pauly, I was planning to bring Diana 52 with me as its production is stopped now so not easy to fine. Its a springer so no need of FAL in NZ but I am not sure it is a sane thing to do. Are you chaps allowed to import springers? I have imported my 97 from Krale and it was a very smooth experience. -Inder ------------- FAC Diana52 .22 with Maccari kit - Bushnell Legend 5-15*40 FAC HW97 .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 FAC TX200HC .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 |

Thanks Mercs, I don't think I have much experience comparing other scopes vis a vis Bushnell but I love Bushnell legend line of scopes, though it doesn't track like a Niteforce or likes but still pretty good. Glass is clear and best part is it survived on my Diana 52 for thousand of rounds so I just mounted rest of my rifles with same and these are working fine on both 97 and Tx. Hunting or pest control is banned in INDIA. We can only shoot crows and rats legally not even pigeons. There are few other mammal species allowed but after huge red tape. The people posting these vids on you tube are doing big harm to legal gun owners of INDIA. Recently .22 airguns were bought under licensing due to these issues. I had to dismantle my Diana52 and perhaps will have to surrender. That was one of the reason I was thinking of carrying it to NZ. -Inder ------------- FAC Diana52 .22 with Maccari kit - Bushnell Legend 5-15*40 FAC HW97 .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 FAC TX200HC .177- Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Mildot 4.5-14×44 |
