General Comments
I recently traded in my crosman ratcatcher for an air arms pro elite .22. I've had many air rifles in my short life but this one is definately the best. i started airgun shooting at 8 years old using a chinese b2 rifle. It did the job, sort of. I picked up the pro elite second hand for £200. got a nikko stirling 4 by 40 scope and mounts for £35. Knowing the right people can by valuable. I zeroed the gun at 40 yards using air arms diabolo hunter pellets. An excellent pellet for the gun. By the 15th shot, i was hitting an area of a 10 pence piece. The finish on the rifle is the best i've ever come across and the build quality is awesome.Every mechanical piece works with precision. The trigger is crisp and light, and comes with an auto safety and the stock is beautifully crafted. I've always wanted a gun with accuracy, power and simplicity to operate. this one has it all. For hunting, the elite is perfect. Rabbit shooting has never been so easy, and knowing you have the right tool for the job fills you with confidence. The best point of the elite is the noise. It comes standard at 12ft/lb and creates so little noise thanks to the full length silencer. A must have when hunting. As soon as you pull the trigger on this gun, your target is hit. The gun has quite a bit of recoil, but you'd expect this from such a powerful rifle. So if you're after a spring rifle, superb accuracy, awesome power and excellent quality, look no further than the pro elite. A rifle you can be proud of to put in your gun bag.
