Lightweight, very accurate & excellent build quality. Cheapest pcp you can buy (probably!). £159.95 from Uttings.com.

Bad Points
Rifle is very long with a silencer fitted. (48"!).

General Comments
I bought the Spitfire as an entry level rifle to the world of pcp's to see what all the fuss was about. Amazing, easy cocking, just break the barrel slightly with ease and load a pellet, aim & shoot. The pellet will go where you aim it upto 50yds. Beyond that the pellet starts to drop. You can drop quarry with confidence at upto 35 even 40yds in 12lb setting. I believe that the rifle can be easilly tuned to 17/18lb but you would need a FAC for it. Overall the best value for money pcp rifle you can buy. New models come with pressure gauge. 70 full power shots is the norm in High Fill version or 30 in Low Fill but this model can be filled by a buddy bottle if more shots required in the field or more likely when at the range.
