Here you go Roach…
You mentioned you are thinking of getting some sort of higher end .22
Took me awhile but finally have this one together…{no, this ones a keeper me thinks}
Started with a Titan that had been gone through by Korick I bought for a few hundred just to get the Korick tuned tube & lockwork as well as the match trigger group
Hunted up a new old stock Falcon FN19 Hawk repeater breech with an LW barrel that I had to custom tune to the latest alloy mags
Then the stock was a real rare one…a factory Falcon skeleton stock hand checkered in English Walnut
Still needs some final tweeking, maybe some more brass
ran it for the first time earlier today
running a very steady shot string hovering tightly at the 850FPS range
these rifles were famed for their self regulating Bowkitt valve design and were once regulars in the winner circles at competitive shoots…
thing is with all the piece by piece work here I have maybe a hundred over the Marauder MSRP
dropped a Ripley moderator on it and a big Nikko Plartinum Nighteater but will likely go to a Leupold
no longer sold in the USA but they do crop up regularly in the Rainstorm price range
Just something else to ponder
PS…for as weak as these stocks work I have only heard of two failures and both were due to major abuse

RS,
What pellet weight?
RC
Figured I’d toss the Falcon’s out there as another possible option for you
these run in the $700+ range used, real sleek, light weight, tight strings
one of the best AGs made in my opinion
Riverside,
That is one fine classy rifle.
I just sold one of my AirArchers, I still have another Airarcher kit, so I have the funds to buy a good rifle, just waiting on the right one.

Very nice! How many shots are you getting?
Thanks Guys
it’s mostly just being patient enough to beat the bushes for the bits as they are out there
Everything you see in that image was sourced either through the Yellow or Brads
Heck, sitting on two more Hawk and one Raptor action that are going in future builds
I love these rifles…all deeply blued tool steel deeply and polished brass
scant amount of alloy and no crappy plastic excepting the butt plate
Have a kit coming inbound from the UK that should run it out to 900FPS+
nope few things sweeter than a Falcon in the right furniture 😉
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET RS! 😉
That one is a keeper for sure. Nice work

can’t recall weight but the pellet was the JSB Diablo Jumbos
going to try the Monsters once I get the the power kit from the UK
figure on the high 800s with Monsters once its all dailed in
have another one slowly coming together
that one is a Falcon Raptor bolt action repeater breech mated to a regulated Marauder tube and trigger group with Enik SS guts in a TerryX alloy stock
that should prove slick as hell
