Thomas Air Rifle

[JimNM]

Did someone say "Left Hand" Thomas? There is one in the classified section right now. Choose left or right hand grip. Scope and butt plate not included.

Those are some subtle but classy purple accents on your rifle and rest. What scope are you using?

Do it…I waited my time and received a beautiful, accurate, and consistent rifle. I shoot Fieldtarget and benchrest..it’s a joy to shoot!

I guess it's true what they say, it's ugly. Oh I mean beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Think of it as an aquired taste….like single malt scotch..

what in the world do you call pretty/beautiful Spook ?

Well I think a Daystate Red Wolf is beautiful. My little hw110 is a beautiful rifle. I just like rifles that are a little more traditional, that's all. I prefer rifles that are more practical. I don't shoot benchrest. I hunt small game. I like rifles I can carry in the woods. I carried rifles that look like machines to work for a long time. They get the job done. My old 40 caliber left-handed flintlock Tennessee poor boy is a beautiful rifle. Like I said, in the "eye of the beholder". That Thomas is a beautiful machine, no soul. YMMV

I have a Thomas set up for Benchrest. You are so much right on target about it being a machine. It’s extremely precise but also sterile. When I sit down to shoot some targets, it feels like I have a job to do. Oh, and how it does that job! I used to be into score shooting and it got to sorta feeling the same way. If you dropped an X at the match, no trophy. I spent more time preparing for the match with reloading than I did actually shooting. I’ve had to fight the urge to start weighing and measuring pellets……This is supposed to be relaxing AND fun. If it becomes an obsession, I’ll sell the gun and move on. Wow, now that’s some rambling right there. Sorry. I got carried away

Thomas rifles are great pieces of shooting precision, but won’t cover for your f—k ups.

What does it weigh?

Waiting for my teathered Thomas BR rifle for N50.

Then likely an hpx

 

[igolfat8]

Do they cone with internal regulators? And can you still shoot tethered with the hpx non tethered model? I want one that can shoot without being tethered for competition, but be able to shoot tethered when I am just practicing at home as it is easier to not have to stop to fill the gun all the time.

I have a HPX and it can shoot tethered or not. Yes it does have an internal regulator.

I think the tethered models, that Mike builds, don’t have an internal regulator as it uses an external regulator on the tether harness but Mike should clarify this.
