    What is the reason that Walther has discontinued the LGV and LGU air rifles?

    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.

    What Scope for Very Senior Citizen Who Is A Dairy Farm Pester?

    wadcutters for pesting

    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...

    Walther LGU Varmint .22 underlever - droop mount required?

    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.

    Vortex 2.5-10X32?

    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...

    Vortex 2.5-10X32?

    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...

    .22 LGV's Redemption Song

    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...

    .22 LGV's Redemption Song

    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...

    Why I prefer a Springer.

    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.

    What are Chinese people using,air gun bullets?

    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...

    First FOX 🦊 ever, and with an airgun! (Graphic)

    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.

    Favorite Spring Gun? and Why?

    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...

    Favorite Spring Gun? and Why?

    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...

    Insane Pest control Whit Fx Deamline Tactical!!!

    I agree but with an instant kill you would spend more time going up there to retrieve the bodies than pulling the trigger. Ive done a bit of this myself and the lower neck, heart or between the shoulders are the shots I use, enough flapping to bring them to ground but dead when picked up.

    My evolution from Original Mod 50 & Webley Mk 3 to Walther LGU

    Thank you for your advice and the info on the Tony Leach trigger, I have tried to access the Airgun Tech website and it seems the owner has suffered a hacking problem and his site has crashed. Do you know if there is anywhere online that I might read about the engineering aspects of this...

    My evolution from Original Mod 50 & Webley Mk 3 to Walther LGU

    Thank you all for your replies. Bandg - thank you for your advice on the Rowan trigger option but Im in England which means my rifle came with the two screw metal trigger as standard. However I will be polishing the tips of the screws and adding the poly tube modification that some users in the...
