    Falcon Prairie CS

    You know full well what it is like?

    I flogged a Guitar my mate Scouse left me, this left me in the position that with a part chop I could buy a short light Carbine that had the Magic Words Inscribed on it Made In England,

    I chose a Falcon Prairie CS, a thumbhole butt to die for and the Magic words Emblazoned thereon,

    The Butt is so contoured as to be Feminine,

    It just feels good,

    The action has that slick my bolt is your bolt feel, the trigger can be altered to move left or right to suit your pinky,

    As I pulled the trigger for the first time two gritty crunches occurred before the rifle fired,

    As it fired a slight blast of air made my right eye blink!

    Being I hope fair minded I carried on shooting, as it was bitterly cold and it was maybe new gun paranoia,

    I fitted lower mounts and on shooting the gun later I found that the blast of air made my right eye blink?? (crunchy trigger)

    Later at Home checking the breech I could see no breech rubber seal,


    My suppliers ordered and fitted a breech seal, I fired the gun from a cushion to zero it today and could not achieve more than a inch and half group at 35 yds, pellets spread all over, (crunchy trigger)

    And yes the breech seal might as well not be fitted, I now have a sore right eye due to air blasts,

    Yes it is on it's way back to Air Arms,

    Will have to shoot my Elderly Ultra this coming shoot, but at least it is accurate,

    Having paid close to 500 notes for the Falcon


    Not Chuffed does not even come close


    On its return it better be perfect, or this Which Magazine member will probably throw a Wobbly!

    Thanks for the above most kind of you,

    Especially as My Falcon is not only back but beautiful

    Trigger is crisp, bolt is airtight, and it has been completely re-barreled, a check group has been shot (O Lord Allow Me To Shoot That Well Standing Up)

    And I am really looking forward to the Range on Saturday

    my day has been, Made In England.
