What do Dominator 850's cost over there? They're pretty good, and quite affordable. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:39 am dummyracer36 Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 723 Location: St. Louis, Missouri broom, not familiar with that model, whos the maker? _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:58 am Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 dummyracer36 wrote: Quote: my wife finally granted me her permission to make the purchase. Why don't you buy a pair of BALLS while your at it! I ain't married, but if I was, it would go down something like this. My wife would come home from work and I'd be sitting thier on the recliner polishing my brand new PCP. She'd walk in the room and I'd say, "Honey, look at what we bought today!" _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

Walther/Umarex. It's the Airmagnum 850 on steroids. There is a 20 and a 40 joule version. You'll want to long tube that is about the same lenght as the barrel. There is also one that stops at about the third quarter of the barrel, but it doesn't look half as good. Yes, it's a PCP and it's quite a good one too. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 9:27 am dummyracer36 Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 723 Location: St. Louis, Missouri broom, does it start out as a stock airmagnum that is then modified by someone? sounds right up my alley....... _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 9:47 am cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 If you decide to go with Last edited by cw on Fri Jan 23, 2009 9:49 pm; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 12:46 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands dummyracer36 wrote: broom, does it start out as a stock airmagnum that is then modified by someone? sounds right up my alley....... No, then I would have said that it was a modified Airmagnum 850. The Walther Dominator 1250 is sold as a PCP, and is a little different concerning the action. There is a great difference in the valve/ventile, as it has some sort of in build regulator (for the PCP). There are also some small differences in the hammer spring, hammer, etc. The hammer is a small metal block, in stead of a round thing in a cylinder like on Crosman models. It's a gun that will do great out of the box, and with some little modifications done to it (with little, I mean really tiny, because the overal finish of the gun is great) it will outshoot guns that cost over 500 dollars more. It's also cheaper to buy a 1250 then to modify an Airmagnum into one. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 2:46 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" broommaster2000 wrote: What do Dominator 850's cost over there? I believe part of the issue here is that this was a typo- even Umarex does not list a "Dominator 850"- they have a newer AirMagnum 850 "Hunter", but no Dominator 850. http://www.umarex.de _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Could you heve meant that? http://www.pyramydair.com/p/Walther-1250-Dominator-air-rifle.shtml _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

The 1250 is the cousin to the AirMagnum 850 in design and layout, but parts are not terribly interchangeable between the two, apparently. The LG-300 (PCP) is the parent to both.
