Some less common beauties

The 707s are a fairly simple design but do need a pin collar wrench for thelock collars plus a valve body wrench to get the valve body out of the tube. Very well made and accurate rifles .

Another try on the pics.

Thanks RB...lol. You certainly picked up on that one.

Top pic , left... Hatsan Galatian actually an amazing rifle, never seen any pics or discussion of it, next... Falcon FN19 Raptor, next... Falcon FN12 Hawk, both 22, amazingly efficient, accurate , and light, all steel brass and wood with bluing of the highest level, next... Parker Hale Dragon ... given to me by a very good friend and I've restored it to nice function. Heavily used but very well made.

Bottom pic left... RWS Excalibur , also know as Fx Tarantula and maybe other names . 30 ft lb of incredible accuracy in 22, no reg but still has small ES from 200 bar to 120 bar., next Shin Sung Career 707 in 22, early model with match peeps, VERY accurate and first tests in 1996 era was 1076 for 5 shots w Dae Sung 31 gn(QUITE loud). After all the mods, it's very slick to operate and maxes at 45 ft lb., last... but not least... possibly the smoothest of all my pcp's... the JK Hahn Majesty 22... beautiful, smooth, accurate, very nice magazines. Can't see why it wasn't more popular. Guess I could say the same about the Falcons.

Hope you've enjoyed .

Nice collection. I too am always pleased with the accuracy from my 707, FNs and Tarantulas. They're older but still tack drivers and great build quality. 

Which is your favourite?



That's a pretty difficult choice but probably the C707 followed closely by the Majesty. The C707 is SO accurate and versatile but the Majesty is so nice looking and smooth and accurate .

How about your favorite?

Bob

Thanks Lewis and Franklink. 

I think I shot my best offhand that night with the FN19 as well. Been trying some of the collection more offhand lately. Some odd ones have stood out. I always do well with the C707 but my Sportman, LGU, and Filarms have been surprisingly easy to shoot small groups. The Filarms feels like it was made for it specifically. I've even been using the LGU w scope on 32x and I can still be fairly steady... WAY better than my regular FT rifle. Guess that means I need to investigate the fit a bit more on it.

The Galatian does seem to be a bit of an anomaly. It is a heavy brute but the stock and general look are quite nice and I've not found any fault in the design PLUS it came in a nice case, rebuild kit, extra mags, fill adapter, sling, and iron sights.... things not included with many ag's at all.
