Indians For Guns

Hi All,
was just surfing & found this new web site..www.nationalairarms.com of Calicut.... have displayed varairty of air gun & & air pistol models...surprisingly they deal in used rifle scopes also.....

They don't have anything made by them. They source from Kolkata. Pictures are being copied from net.

hii
i am new to this forum. can anyone tell, any indian made under liver/side liver air rifle (cal-0.177) is in the market? if you know please giv me details

suresh

Spslfa check jimmy underlever. Its .22, don't know about .177.

Is it true that air rifle have a range of 120 mtr and 100mtrs effective range. I have also see the same site which "professor " has show.
tirth tell that they have sold the air rifles which are manufactured at kolkata,
So pls tirth tell me which air-rifle should i have to purchase ?
It must have good range about 100 mtrs effective if it is ligal and available in India ?
Pls reply

Hi Harsh
Before an air rifle is suggested you should ask yourself what is the objective

Do you want to kill vermin like rats and crows (only these two are allowed in India)
Do you want to get into serious target practice
Do you want to get into plinking

Do let us know your objective and then we should be in a better position to help you.

I am not sure about the range. A point to keep in mind is not only range but also accuracy and reliability.

Thans

thanks gverma,
Brother thanks for reply in second post,

I want to kill vermin like rats and crows

Now tell me about the good air rifle, well i have visit the site
http://www.nationalairarms.com/
which tell that their air rifles has 120 mtr range and about 100mtr effective range.

of course i want accuracy and reliability also...
Thanks again

Ok Go for National Spring action .22 cal
Now I will be surprised if you will be able to kill a rat or a crow from 100 m distance.

They are confusing meters with feet... so 120 feet would be approx 36 meters and 100 feet approx 30 meters. With the typical quality of locally made springers even those ranges (30-36 meters) may be slightly optimistic!

In case what you(Abhijeet) are saying is correct and I do not have any doubt in your verdict. I would not want to buy anything from an organization whose website is giving me shady info.

Harsh go for IHP rifle most of us who own an Indian air rifle use an IHP (National) gun and have found it better than other brands like Sisco.

Thanks gverma and mundaire

Nice reply
Thank you for your Help,, Thank You very much for helping a new guy..

Me too was also greatly confused on the claims made by National Air Arms that they sell air rifles which effectively hits targets at 120 mtrs. Thanks to mundaire for using his sense; confusing feet with mtr.
