Probably going to buy this as my choice for an <$300 air rifle. 1000fps, 22. cal, comes with a scope - will be used primarily for shooting crows and raccoons.

thoughts? Anyone have any experience good or bad with them?

A lot of the Falcons had poor seals,rough machining and cracked stocks with little use like there was no tomorrow.Scope mt system poor..........crude trigger...............try researching the "Yellow forum" James Kitching.... I was looking at the .25 version but didn't like what I read......JMO..Harold
 
i have one and think its fantastic for what you're looking for. it also comes with a very suitable scope. Its a little heavy and long but it definitely has the power. no problems with any seals or cracked stocks either. takes bit of power to #### it but it does get easier after a while.

its a little front heavy and the camo stock is very cheesy. i ended up taking of the stock giving it a light sand and painted it with cream colored krylon apray paint from ct and then adding black tiger stripes. also bc of the imbalance of the front i ended up filling the hoolow butt stock with sand and plugging it. makes for a heavy air gun but im a big boy so no worries. it does have quite a bit of kick though. if you're in the gta you're welcome to come and try it. it'll go through 3/4 oak plywood easily at 20m. trigger is not a match trigger by any means but for what you're looking for its perfect. dont know if its 1000ft/sec as i dont have a chrony but whatever it is, its havoc on varmints lol!

great combo for the money. picked it up from airgunsource. prompt shipping nice guy too.
 
Air Rifle Headquarters [James Macarri] "the springman" sells oversized piston seals for the Falcon as well as springs etc.......and he ships to Canada.I put one of his kits in my son's RWS34/.22 and it was night and day for smoothness.........Harold The Falcon is a re-badged Hatsan[Turkey]
 
Read up on them on James Kitching's "the Yellow Forum" Manufacturers lie about velocity to sell guns you won't be getting 1000fps although this one if I remember correctly would do 900fps with certain pellets.............good reading at any rate......Harold
 
Great info guys, I really appreciate it!

I think I'll order one off of airgunsource, should put some fear into the hearts of the little bastards terrorizing my bird feeders and garbage :D
 
I'd get a BAM 28 /RWS 350 clone instead myself.They make parts for RWS and most parts are interchangeable .Great reviews $230 [Airgun Source]and 900fps in .22 and they are making it in .25 cal soon! A lube tune and polishing the internals and you've got a magnum killing machine..........................a RWS piston seal,tophat and spring guide and it performs....................Harold
