The LGU is still being sold in the European continent and I have not read anything in the UK about the two models being discontinued. I will ask a few questions as I have an LGU. A rifle of build quality and exceptional accuracy.

Checkout the manufacturers. https://www.sportsmatch-uk.com/ The only game in town IMO.

Im a septuagenarian so I understand your problems. The scope I use is a Nikko Sterling Diamond 1-4x24 30mm on Sportsmatch LOP39C one piece mount It has a Red or Green illuminated centre dot, or a black dot when turned off. Turrets - per click = 1/8" at 25yards. Most of my shots are at rats...

I get exactly the same post impact reaction from the rats I shoot, all head shots at 10-25yds shooting with Umarex 7.4gram Mostquito flat heads from my sub 12 LGU .177 springer. Ive used the same pellets inside barns on rats and doves without damage to the roof, the flat head target...

Agreed. No droop at all, infact the whole rifle is as perfect as could be, one holeing at 18yds straight from the box, believe me you will not be disappointed. Nikko 30mm scope and a Sportmatch OP39C one piece mount made be English precision toolmakers for a rock solid connection.

My aiming point on rats is the eye and all that have attended my feeder have all been eliminated, no misses and just one twitcher. I am expecting an illuminated reticle will help me in low light against the dark background of my barn. At present Im using a late '70's Japanese made 4x30 scope...

Im in a similar position as you. I have searched everywhere and decided upon; Nikko Stirling Diamond 30mm 1-4x24 Wide Angle Red Illuminated no4 Dot Reticle Rifle Scope. Users tell me they will focus at less than 4 yards, clear sighting against shade or woodshed. Plus manufacturers Lifetime...

It seem logical that a pellet that is (genuinely) made in the same country as the gun should be more consistent than a mass produced Chinese pellet sold globally under various brand names. Spring guns are by design a one shot kill which to me means precision equipment and a high degree of...

I have an LGU in 177, same barrel as the V. I did some serious research into the best pellets for accuracy and it seemed pellet diameter was one critical factor. In no particular order these were found to the most accurate by users. H&N Field Target Trophy 8.64grain ,56gm domed head (also...

Practicality. A spring gun, ammunition, pick-up, load and fire, end of. Store it for a day, a week, a year, a decade, it will still work how I want it, when I want it. That is why I use a sping gun.

Hi and welcome. You are not alone, in Europe we must also register when we stay in a hotel in another EU country. Hotels copy our passport and send it to the Police. Our gun ownership laws are very strict. Police licences for any gun above 12ft lbs, all guns kept in a steel cabinet...

Well done. Get one in the winter and the skin makes into two pairs of warm ladies gloves. In the UK we cure the brush in methylated spirits and mount it with a silver collet and ring.

Greenarrow, flat head pellets are the standard for competition such as the Olympics, at short range on rats and squirrels they deliver sufficient energy to ensure a clean kill without the fear it will go right through and perhaps cause secondary damage. --- I hope Ive not broken any rules but...

Walther LGU Master Pro .177 european 12ftlbs model with steel match trigger and beech stock. From the box, two shots into the ground. Scoped with a basic 4x32 single post reticule, 3 shots to zero then it put the next five thro the same hole at 18yards (padded standing rest), pellets Umarex...

In Europe they have wild boar, they have reached plague proportions in some countries where they are entering towns at night and even buildings. The population is almost out of control and every country is being asked to reduce the numbers The European species hate humans with a vengance, given...
