A Pictorial Guide to Magnum Springers

I ended up purchasing a Turkish Tomahawk during the Great $99.** special. I own an RX2,Diana 350,Hatsan 135 .30 and they All shot like a dream compared to that tooth-rattling,retina detaching,migrane inducing,concussion delivering,testical twisting 99 dollar spring powered torture device. I fiddled and futzed with that miserable bastard until I developed an irreversible nervous tic and finally "gifted" it to my cousin. I thought that would have solved my problem...now I can't sleep at night. Ugh.

Wow.
Hard to follow here.I was expecting a beauty contest, not a blood letting.
I just got my FWB 124 back from rebuild.
Even though "they" tell me it takes a couple hundred shots to "settle in" and for it to really become a "tack driver". I'm not doing so badly now.
No blood so far, No need to go to the Gym. it s easy to cock and it hits harder than it ever did. 915 FPS. I did miss the Starlings I shot at the other day.

The FWB 124D is one of the best spring rifles ever made. Light enough to carry , easy to cock , and accurate as it gets. I think it launched the adult air gun sport. At least , it did for me. 

Love it, as always.

Haven't shot my magnums since last summer.
Not sure if I'll need a gym membership or if I should look for an attorney to get RWS to pay for my inevitable PTSD therapy?

I have a Gamo 1250 hunter that has 58 pounds cocking effort and I let my son in law shoot it once and he got scoped! I couldn't believe it scoped with an air rifle!

Joe,
i laughed so hard and then I remembered that I own one of those monster NP XL 1100. I bet it don’t have even a full tin through it. Yikkers I hate it for all the reasons you listed.

Well, by comparison to the Trail NPXL725, the Winchester 1400cs ultra-magnum is a walk in the park! And the Hatsan striker 1000x compared to both of those cocks like some kiddy toy! But I love'em, dang it! Waiting for tax refund, and May 8th when Crosman starts selling the Remington 725 VTR, since they bought all the rights to Remington air guns. It's a hotrodded NPXL725 barreled action in the Remington 783 7mm magnum stock.

Magnum Springers sounds like the perfect gift to give some of our More distinguished Congressional Members Like Bill Nelson, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi ,Dear old Uncle Joe Biden. Three possible things could happen, barrel would slap in face when cocking ,the recoil could possible rattle some sense into their tiny brains or they could possible shoot one or the other. A Magnum win for Sure :yes: God I Love Magnums

Hmmmmm...been toying with the idea of getting a magnum springer lately, sometime before June. Think I'll put that idea back on the backburner, and step away veeeeeeerrryy slowly....??????

Best way to go is get yourself a Diana Md. 54 Air King. Very much a magnum , recoilless , same system as the Feinwerkbau 300. And accurate beyond a lot of people's skill. Get yourself a portable tripod , because it is a bit heavy , but most magnum springers are. If you want light , easy to cock , reasonably fast , and very accurate , find a good used FWB 124D and never let it go.

pic says it all...absolute nail drivers at 10-50 yards, single ragged holes at 10y and dime to penny groups at 50y.

You also had me laughing, Joe. Nice to see you putting time into the Airgun humor. Next time add humor pics for the pulling of the trigger once cocked open, and for accidentally leaving your fingers in the way. The joy of magnum springers. 

The first time my brother fired my beeman r10, his eye ball got whacked by the scope. I can only imagine if it would’ve been an RX or an R1

Joe that had me laughing so hard, as I just removed a magnum kit from a 34 -

Thanks for the morning laugh, although your story did render me incontinent -
