    Yes, protecting your property in the UK is a no no! The way to do it is, wait until your house has been ransacked (try not to get in the way while this is happening, you could get hurt) then phone the police, who will show zero interest, but will (if in a good mood) provide you with a crime number that you can present to your insurance provider, (providing you have one) who will then do their damnedest to wriggle out of paying, pointing out some absurd clause in the small print. The small print by the way, is so long, and so small that you would need the patience of a saint, and the eyesight of a shithouse spider to bother reading a quarter of the way through.

      @@PaulThorpeOfficial Nice video Paul- a good range of rifles for different budgets featured. I'm a Weihrauch springer man. I have a modest collection of rifles- 2 X HW80's, one is V-Mach tune- short stroke Lazaglide, the other is an early Veno long stroke. I have two HW 77's, one of which is my first rifle, which I acquired at the age of 16, way back in Jan 1987. In 1990, I appeared in, 'Air Gunner,' magazine. After writing a very polite letter in to the mag, they arranged for me to spend a full day at Venom Arms, where I met Ivan and Dave, who were superb blokes. Anyway, as part of my visit, they told me they would tune my 77 to Lazaglide spec, reblue it, fit a setback brass trigger, and a silencer- for FREE! To say I was delighted is an understatement. The article appeared in the May 1990 AG edition. Years later, I acquired a genuine Venom walnut stock for it. I also own a HW35E, a Theoben Evolution, and two Air Arms rifles. The TX200 is a superb rifle, very smooth and accurate. I tracked down an immaculate Air Arms Khamsin side lever two years ago- it has the early design walnut stock, which I prefer to the second generation stock. Keep up the great videos- very informative, especially to anybody who is just about to buy their first air rifle. Top work Geezer! :)

He had a small store on Crawley high street, proper old school store, he used to have a target range in the back room to try the pistols out, his dad was a proper character, I used to buy my doc Martin dealer boots from him for £50 back in the day, he was also open to a bit of haggling which you couldn't do anywhere else, top bloke, used to love going in his store, he looks the same as he did back then, which is weird because he must of been mid 20's to 30 back then. Highly recommend him, he's been doing this at least 30 years

You can buy a Chinese 0.22" for abot £70. You can also buy airsoft realistics if you work in a relevent museum. There are no dispensation even if you were an Army Weapons Instructor with a Queen's Commendation.

    Great video Paul. I got into air gunning in recent years (in my 50s). Started with a break barrel Norica Storm rifle in .22, then got an under lever Weihrauch HW97K in .177, then the Weihrauch HW110K, also in .177. Fantastically accurate guns. You’ll never starve with a 97 and enough pellets. Also have a Walther CP88 pistol in .177 and recently bought the Umarex HDR50 revolver. That’s great fun. As you say, it’s addictive. Anyway, thanks again to you and Daniel. Off to have a look at his website now.

  • @skylongskylong1982

    What noticed moving from firearms to piston air rifles you have to use the artillery method when shooting them, due to cylinder/ piston moves forward, and back when the air rifle shoots pellets.
    You do not have this problem with PCP air rifles, just springers.

    • @liverpoolscottish6430
      @liverpoolscottish6430 3 месяца назад

      The Piston in a springer does NOT move backwards after firing. It moves forwards and stops. It doesn't rebound. The recoil felt is caused by the spring. PCP rifles are soulless and aren't challenging to shoot. I know so man people who moved from a springer to an PCP, got bored very quickly, and returned to the springer.

    The best gun shop I have ever been too. Dan is a great guy. Bought around 7 air rifles ranging from £400-£700 each. Probably about 9 co2 pistols ranging from £120-£220 each in the past 4 years. Just for target shooting. Always receive a discount from these guys. The have been on hand when a rifle was faulty and replaced it without any quibble. Never ever felt rushed or pressured while I've been there. There shop is stunning. Clean, tidy, well laid out.
    I suffer with PTSD and hyper vigilance sensitivity and target shooting really helps me keep carm, as you literally have to get the mind to focus and control your breathing etc.
    I also love collecting replica pistols, my favourite been the 1911 series. I genuinely can't recommend Dan and his team enough.❤

    Brilliant video, my wife walked in and said what you doing watching a cockney geezer 🙂. I`m a game shooter and have been for many years. I bought a Ghost 1.77 Cal with scope to replace my old BSA air-sporter 2.2 without scope to get rid of pesky vermin. My local shop was excellent in Lincolnshire. Paul you recommend the ghost highly and when I bought it I couldn`t miss a single beer can at 50mtrs nor could I miss the centre spot on a range. However when it came to vermin. I couldn`t kill hardly anything. So my shop politely said it must be me 😞! They gave me my money back and I continue to nobble the odd pigeon with my old gun but I want to try again. I think I`m going for the heavier harder hitting 2.2 in case the pellet on the 1.77 was just going through and the vermin was dying painfully later. Your video was fantastic and I think I might try the Wyrauch HW100 instead but I`m a patriot and would prefer to buy British but not at the expense of missing. Also do you have a scope you would recommend?

In later years we used to go clay pigeon shooting for a while - great sport to get into and these rifles cost nothing compared with even entry level luxury watches. That £3,300 self indexing rifle is a great piece of kit for the money, about the same as a decent Longines! Will check these guys out next time I’m in their neck of the woods.

    As an American this is equal parts interesting and heartbreaking. You can hear the passion, the same as we have here, in the way you speak about the guns. Change a few variables and this could be a conversation you'd hear in a gun store over here.

    I’ve been shooting all my life and from probably around seven years old and living on a farm I had plenty of land to shoot on and I’ve had shotguns, rifles in the past. But due to mobility problems I gave up the shotguns and rifles and went back to my love of airguns.
    My very first airgun was a webley Tracker in 22 which I still have to this day and that was over forty years ago. I have and been using Weihrauch’s for many years which I think are one the best makes on the market for spring powered owning a HW99s, Hw,95 in 22 then another Hw95 in 177. along with the HW 97 blue laminate in 22. So I really do like my Weihrauch’s.
    But for many years I’ve longed for what I would call the pinnacle of all springers in my opinion and that is the air arms pro sport but years ago they never did them with left handed stocks as I’m a lefty. But last year I finally got my dream springer the pro sport with walnut stock in 177 and it’s above and beyond any springer I’ve owned and is on another level completely.
    For years for vermin control I’ve used PCP’s and always shot 22 until I got a gun on loan in 177 and it was a complete game changer for my shooting and I’ve always used Weihrauch hw100s in kt the the s models and they are a proven gun not the most attractive but they work and work very well indeed and if your lucky like I was the walnut stock on mine is absolutely stunning and the sort of grain you would expect on a high end shotgun its that good. I’ve have a Sightmark wraith 2-16x28 fitted on it as I do so much pest control and is a great set up and costs less than £300 and with the 177 calibre my furthest shot to date was 62 yards, a shot I wouldn’t have even considered using a 22 but a shot I was comfortable taking for a good clean dispatch and not a shot I would have taken if I wasn’t confident with my abilities, every responsible shooter wants a good clean kill every time and never let an animal suffer no matter what they are. So please be respectful and responsible for anyone who reads this as mentioned these are not toys and are capable of taking someone’s life as they have before through people in the mindset that they are only an airgun, they are a weapon and must be treated as one.
    Great video my friend thoroughly enjoyed it.
