Hi guys, newbie here
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:09 pm
Just thought I would say hi and let you know how much help these forums have been as a means of educating myself about PCPs etc as I consider my first purchase.
I have been browsing through the old forum site for the last few days and have now just joined up on here.
Not sure what its like in Aussi but here in NZ its not easy to find really good quality Air Arms as most of the shops only stock the basic run of the mill stuff, and sure they can get some of the good stuff in if you order it but generally they don't know much about it themselves. And most of the wholesalers of any good brands don't want to talk directly to you and don't have stocks on hand anyway. So you would be pretty much be ordering blind if you could not read all the info etc in forums like these.
Having said that there is a very helpfull guy here who imports the FX range (mag air) and that is more than likely where i will be purchasing from.
Basically so far I have narrowed my purchase to either a FX cyclone or a HW100. I think I would like either of these however are leaning toward the FX as it will primarily be a hunting thing. Although because of this I'm also considering the Korean Evenix but havn't really been able to get enough info to reassure myself of its quality and ability to shoot anything lighter than the really heavy (and expensive here!) korean pellets really well. The rifle though is quite well priced
Any thoughts you guys might have on this would be very welcome.
One thing that really stands out in your guys forum is the helpfullness of everybody, particularly Lewis. Sure hes selling a bit of gear thru here but it must take him hours to answer all the posts, and the replys are always of value.
haha....infact Lewis seems extra helpfull after having spoken to the the strange german guy who also sells guns in your country (what a experiance that was!)
