Good Points: Stunning looking,super lightweight and compact,easy to use,good trigger and excellent accuracy.Adjustable butt pad very useful.

Bad Points: Not much! The bolt may need a bit of adjustment if you use a low scope mount as I did with my Simmons 1.5-5x20 whitetail classic,just a turn of the allen screw and re set the angle of the bolt handle-60 seconds of a job.The quick-fill adapter/silencer isnt the most efficient unit,pop another on top,it will increase length but vastly improve noise levels.

General comments: VERY nice gun,can never understand why the likes of THEOBEN cant use this kind of imagination on their stocks,beautiful to hold and look at and shoots just as well.Cracking hide rifle and you can walk all night with it and not know youve been carrying a rifle! Perhaps,dare I say it,looking a little retro now but Id still buy it over and over again,a pleasure to own and use and at very sensible money!

The falcon fn8w lighthunter is excellent. I have fitted a logun satin silencer & ags 3-9-40.compact. It is light, very well made, accurate and made in England. You get optional brass parts to make it look better looking.

I really have to build a machine to reload the magazines faster - I can empty them in under two minutes (all 40 shots) into a tin can on a string freehand - except then I will have to buy a bigger air bottle and shares in a lead pel ...

Firstly, the Falcon FN Lighthunter-8W is a great looking compact PCP rifle. With its walnut skeleton stock & brass parts, it's very nice indeed. Not very long at 33'' inc. QF silencer. Apply a silencer & this increases the length of the barrel thus increasing muzzle velocity.

This rifle is very accurate, with a 1/2'' grouping at 40 metres. Very powerful too, enough to completely obliterate a standard 10.00mm thick bathroom/kitchen tile at 30 metres. I didn't expect it too but it did, oh y ...
