New baby on its way!!!!!!!!!
« on: July 25, 2008, 09:38:41 AM »
Sold my Career 707 II this week and HAD to replace it with SOMETHING.  One of the guys on the Yellow made me an offer I just COULD NOT refuse, I mean really he twisted my arm and I almost cried...haha!!!  Here she is, should arrive on Tuesday of the next week, I can hardly wait:


Air Arms S400 Carbine in the 12fpe version.  It will be just a bit different than shooting the Career 707 that blows everything to kingdom come, but will fit much better in my small backyard shooting range.  I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!

Current shooters: Beeman HW97K .177 with Hawke Eclipse 4x16x50SFAO and Steve C. stock, Beeman R9 .177 with Hawke Airmax 4-12x40AO and Gene\'s Midas touch, Air Arms S200 with Bushnell Banner 6x24x40AO Rowan brass bling and Steve C. custom stock, BAM B25, BAM B40 .177 with BSA 3x12x44AO, Benjamin Marauder .22, Benjamin 397 pumper.

The Career was an awsome gun.  Accurate, easy on air, power to spare....., but I usually shoot in my tiny backyard, so it wasn't needed.  The other incentive was size, I have grown really fond of carbine length guns and the Career was a real brute!  I am realising of course that I no longer own a repeater, but loading one at a time really doesn't bug me, the repeater idea really didn't make any difference when shooting off a bench, single shot is fine.

Ya know Ed I have been really blessed in the ways of the airgun, I mean I always fall into great deals, from great people, never any problems.  Only had one gun get a bit of shipping damage and the matter was resolved without issue.  I've probably gone through almost 4 dozen rifles by now, I'm just lucky I guess.  Will let you know how it shoots when it gets here, I suspect I will be really pleased:)

Thanks David,

I've already started bugging Steve about a stock for it:)  I am now down to 5 rifles, 3 PCP's, 1 CO2 and one springer.  This will be my first Air Arms gun, and I have waited a long time to get my hands on one.

With your tastes in airguns from what I have noticed I think an Air Arms gun would be just right in your collection Steph:)

This will be my 8th or 9th PCP, I usually only keep them for a short time:)  I have had 2 repeaters in my collection at different times and couldn't quite justify the repeater for the kind of shooting I do.  I'm pretty sure that this will be a gun I keep for quite awhile though:)
