Was wanting to get some opinions on this rifle. I want to buy one but was hopeing for some first hand impressions. If no one replies, I'll write one here myself soon.

I don't know of anyone here who has bought one yet- seems only the U.S. has been getting shipments of them so far (so the rest of the world has to wait a bit longer). From what I've seen of them, people who have bought them think they are good for the money- but are not, by any means, the ultimate in PCPs or dual-fuel guns. But, for that $400 price tag with a pump no one can expect top-of-the-line stuff I wouldn't think. If you get your hands on one- please post a review and some pictures. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I will give a review if I get one. I know this is apples and oranges, but, i'm also considering an air force condor. _________________ Beeman imported RX-1   Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 8:54 am cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 WOW! No contest!!! Go with the Condor. In the end, you will be glad that you did. It's a WAY more versatile, powerful and accurate gun. The first time that you fire it on high power (65-70 fpe) with a 29 grain Eun Jin pellet and it completely rips through a 2x6 at a distance (it will do so 20+ times on a fill) you will have a big smile on your face. Plus, on low power, it has more power (19 fpe) than most magnum springers and gets over 150 shots on a fill.

I know this is apples and oranges, but, i'm also considering an air force condor. I think that owning both of them can be usefull. A Condor is high pressure, and the Disco is (relatively) low pressure. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:16 am cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 Yes, I do have a chrony. It's almost a necessity with a Condor.

I won't shoot a rimfire anywhere but on the shooting range, but I shoot air rifles in my front yard. Air powered is safer to actually use and more accurate than any of the cheap rimmies I've shot . . .   Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 2:12 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Well, air power being safer isn't something I would agree on, after seeing some rifles. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 7:04 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 broommaster2000 wrote: Well, air power being safer isn't something I would agree on, after seeing some rifles. Ok, well some air powered are safer   Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:33 am SAVAGESAM Member Joined: 09 May 2007 Posts: 14 Location: Merced, CA. I've already got too many rim fires. The reason I got into air rifles is because it's so much easier to gain permission to shoot on ranchers/farmers land when they think your using a "toy" gun. _________________ Beeman imported RX-1   Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 9:42 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands 23ib0d0n wrote: broommaster2000 wrote: Well, air power being safer isn't something I would agree on, after seeing some rifles. Ok, well some air powered are safer In the hands of a maniac, even a toaster can be dangerous. I got your point though, and for mostly I agree that air arms are a at least a bit safer. _________________ BIG GAP ANYBODY HAVE ONE OF THE BENJAMIN "DUAL FUEL" RIFLE     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
