Well, seeing as I have joined the pfft pfft ranks after fighting the good fight to resist for years, I now find that I will be needing some sage advice from all you professional pffters.

First up is to do with scoping this mighty powerful beast, what kind of scope do I need ? I can only see this contraption being used for playing around informally, maybe shooting a rabbit or two, if any do finally make a comeback after the virus has smashed them again out here. Probably see more use poking holes in the odd mouse and thinning down the sparrow and english black bird population around the back yard.

Is it critical to have a dedicated air rifle scope similar to the old springers needs, or can I use an ordinary scope, I have a couple of spares ?

Just how critical is it to have an adjustable objective or side focus on air rifles ?

Not looking to spend too much. So advise away Oh Wise Ones.


Thanks

No need for dedicated air scope on what you have (PCP).
AO or Side focus would be useful.
Hawke are pretty good.

First up Camel. What's the AR that you have? Springer, gas ram, pump, single stroke pneumatic, pcp?

Hatsun pcp 22cal that I got off G-nome man.

Oh I see what you did there Rob, I will have to start calling you "The Enabler"

Any scope you like that parallaxes to 10 yards should do the trick. Ear protection on before you fire that beasty.

Bloody good job, the only reason I didn't impulse buy that one was lack of space in the safe(s)

Thanks Camel, know I can focus on something else I don't really need

Shit, I never thought of storage , I might have to either do some reorganising, pull a few apart, or maybe just stick it in the roof, it should be ok there.

Its only an air pipe. Not a real rifle anyways.

Just put the shottie behind the back door and the Pfffft Pfffft behind the front.

Thats some sage advice there.

So let me get this right, I should have put in for two PTAs this morning, one for the pfft pfft gun and one for a shotty, I didn't know I "need" a shotty

If your golf is like my shot gun shooting, it would be a gross waste of time and money me buying a shotty. Oh thats right, you and Waldo have witnessed my prowess, or should that be Lack of Prowess, with a shotgun.
