Air Arms Prosport

[lelykins]

Bought myself a new Prosport today in the "mans" calibre. Have been using an s410 in the "girly" calibre for a year and have been really missing the thwack of a spring. Havn't had a real chance to zero it in yet but had a few shots in the back garden, need to remember how to shoot a springer
Looking forward to using it in the field.
Anybody else got one?

Got a TX200HC which is nice. But heavy.

Nice, i still have a few "proper" airguns and it's nice to take a break from PCP's and enjoy the simpel pleasure of a springer.
Good health to enjoy it.

Sold all my pcp's, and i am really enjoying my BSA lightening .22 small, lightish, grab and go, kicks like a mule but is really satisfying to shoot at 25/30m.

Had a Walnut TX200HC for a week in girly calibre, sausage fingers, tiny pellets and fiddly loading ment it had to go! Lovely gun though, favourite springer is still a HW80, mans gun!!

excuse my idiocy.........
whats the girly caliber???????????
it seems a bit mad calling any caliber girly........
if you mean .177, i fink you should try a .17hmr.... its deffo not girly in performance.......

There are two or three of us at the local club that have them.

I get excellent groups on the zero range but it all goes a bit Pete Tong when I go on the HFT course with it. I think the hold is so vital to give good consistency. With some of the prone shots getting a good position can be difficult.

I have to admit that I have probably used the Pro Sport more this year than any of the PCP rifles though!

Thanks

That IS a handsome rifle.

Got a TX200hc but I'd swop it for a Prosport...gotta admit

I really like those myself, i always wanted one when was younger.

I used to use a tx200 years ago for field target, was before the anti brear trap to protect your fingers went from that to a titan pre-charged, then a second hand air arm shimano I think then eventually to a Ripley AR4 with AR5 reg and leupold scope was well nice. am thinking of getting back into shooting again but not do competitions and always fancied a venom arms rifle but not sure if they exist anymore

Yes but .17HMR is girly compared to .22WMR ,PS we are neighbours, i am from Hebburn.

I have owned a Pro Sport for over ten years and it's still going strong. They are very accurate for something that has a nine inch bull barrel sat inside that large suppressed tube.

Wasn't being serious about the calibre The 410 was the 1st .177 rifle i have had and i loved the flight path of the pellet over .22.

The shop where i bought the rifle from said i would need to wait for 3 weeks for .177 and when it did arrive i would have to pay the new increased price, so thought i would go back to .22 for a challenge and a change and beside most of it's use will be within 35yds for live quarry so the added range without all that hold over achieved by .177 doesn't come into it.

Got this gun for what i believe to be a very good price of £360 bearing in mind that if i'd waited i would have been paying almost £400. Most manufacturers have raised the prices recently and have you seen the price of pellets these days , lead is proving very expensive to buy now.

Will take some piccy's sometime and post them.
