N/A Wiscombe

I got to shoot one at the GTA meet in Arkansas about five years ago. It was amazingly smooth, but at a cost of about $15,000 for this gun from what I was told, it is out of my league unless I sold off my entire collection of air and powder and I am not about to do that.

Your solution …… Krale.
Lower prices/faster shipping!

Well limited stock , out of stock , no .22 .177 only ?

Cheaper but not much better at any given time .lol

When the grid goes down and your tank is empty and you need to find dinner, let me know how that pcp works as a boomerang to get some food. They are interesting no skill required toys I guess.But why not a normal 22 or 17 rimfire. More reliable, less complicated, and no requiring dependency on other systems.

If it got down to that the best would be traps many very easy to make from available stuff laying around . If you plan ahead a 2 QT jar of peanut butter would bait for years , you do not need enough to feed just a small dab for scent.

That would never work
My son would forget about it and eat that jar of peanut butter in 2 days. He's married and they're on they're own. But I miss his peanut butter eating habits so bad. By the tablespoon full. After every meal. With honey. Tablespoons always in the dishwasher..............

It’s a complicated gun. I know a fellow that has one he’s had it at the shop more than he’s had it at the range. The operation is amazing once tuned correctly it looks as if though there’s no recoil.

My understanding is that the two pistons don't just cancel each other out, but are actually tuned just a tiny bit unequally so that they also compensate for the recoil caused by the acceleration of the pellet in the barrel.

And more specialty guns available at AoA, for those who want them.

IF the JW80 (for sale @ AOA) would have been a 65 , it would be sitting at my house right now . BTW can an 80 only be cocked once or twice for a lower power ?

The Whiscombe rifles do not have an option of less cocking strokes. Each stroke moves the pistons a fixed amount and only at the end do they latch to the trigger sear. Whiscombe did proving a threaded transfer port to lower the energy of the rifle. this was convenient for UK shooters if they needed to be under a certain power limit. Also made exporting them easier.

And when you run out of ammo it is a boomerang

If your referencing a rimfire your correct.But a case of ammo,if you shot 1 critter per day for food would last a few weeks short of 13 years.
