.17 Ackley Hornet
Well after being out of shooting for a few years due to health and having sold the .17 Hornet I came across a >17??? in a junk pile! It is a very rough Martini Cadet with a Monte Carlo stock and an ancient Weatherby variable scope made in Germany, but the bore is immaculate. So seeing as a .17 Horne...

Re: Does Taipan still make projectiles
I bought about 3000 of his rejects of those pills when he was closing up and had used 6000 of the good ones in years previous all put through my 22-204.
They went well in it and were accurate and I now use them in the .223.
If you want to sell them let me know.
Cheers.

Re: Evanix Giant
Well the new battery turned up and after a full charge it Works! Well the trigger system does. Now there seems to be an air leak and all the air has leaked out.
Now cannot get a refill til lockdown is over........maybe next year.
I am over the PCP thing before it has already started!

Re: Evanix Giant
A mate has Daystate Red wolf and compressor and tank. He was going to fill it but NO fittings are different. What is it with these air rifle companies.

Re: Evanix Giant
As seems to be the problem with these all too flash air rifles. Can't find fittings. Will take at least 2 weeks for the ones I can find to then turn up. Then the issue of filling it. Oh the joys of PCp.
