Any suggestions would be appreciated. I should add it wants to be a fun gun but resonably accurate. AL   Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2007 11:50 am StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK Hi Al Hmm... Nothing springs to mind straight away, Except the Crosman 1077, But it's not one for accuracy, Sure it will hit a bean can every time and punch holes through it with 7.9's @ 25m, But don't expect anything tighter that 2 inches at 25 without luck or modifications, Or maybe I just haven't found the right pellets for mine yet, I'm using nothing but Bisley's at the moment, I've tried Crosman AccuPell's, Eley Wasp's, Air Arms Field's, Bisley LRG's, Bisley Practice's and Bisley Pets control's, All with around the same grouping's so maybe it is the 1077's barrel and not the ammo. It's a shame that the Umarex Airmagnum 850 only takes 88grm CO2 tanks, Without buying a ridiculously overpriced 12grm CO2 adapter, Though machining one of these up shouldn't be too much of a challenge. Hope this helps a bit! I will continue looking around a bit more for any thing else near your description.

So now He is looking specifically for a Rifle to meet the specifications that He mentioned.

Never really liked the PT-80 when it came out either! Still keeping an eye out for that CO2 Multi-shot Rifle though.

How about finding a Co² multi-shot that uses an AirSource bottle and building your own dual 12g caplet "chamber"? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Stevie I did look at the Desert Eagle with blowback but it's ugly. Eric, yes I have though about converting a CO2 Multi-shot into a 2x12g capsul unit, It's just getting the right gun I quite fancy a carbine then it wouldn't be two long when I put a silencer on it. (sorry about that). AL   Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:21 pm StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK Hi Al OMFG!!! Yes that Deagle is defiantly the most ugly pistol in the world!! It just looks wrong and the .177cal bore with a .50 barrel Though I do like the looks of the Walther CP99, The Anics Skif A3000 And the Beretta 92FS, They look even better with suppressors on them!

(sorry about that). Dang you European-types and your silencers! I'm gonna build my own "silencer" that's about 100 feet long, 10 feet wide, 8 feet tall and has some doors on it. Then I'll shoot in there and no one will hear it. Ha! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Stevie's picture- the silencer is even round like it should be. Mine will be bigger, faster, quieter. Gentleman, we can rebuild him (it). Now play theme from 'The Six Million Dollar Man'. Thank-you, thank-you very much. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

You'll have to be saving a bit longer though. _________________ BIG GAP Re: Looking For Somthing Diffrent   Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 6:18 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND broommaster2000 wrote: Why don't you try a PCP.

It's the hassel of getting a air tank filled, there's no one near to me and I don't fancy pumping by hand. al   Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 3:28 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" OK- the car 'debate' has been split off into BS Topics as "the great car debate"...
