Stealthbomber Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Certainly looks very nice. Love the way you can see the BBs through the bolt. Shame about the accuracy though. Link to post Share on other sites
aswaffield Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Where did you order it from? price? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> got it from zero one 500 quid Link to post Share on other sites
aswaffield Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Shame about the accuracy though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> have to say i was sitting down resting gun on knee and using .20g bb`s for the target pratice so there was swaying aswell Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Any places us yanks can get one from? I can't find it on RW, UNCo, WCG, or Den. Link to post Share on other sites

It's definately decent enough and you might find it is better at longer ranges using heavier ammo. Be interesting to run it through a chrono and see what how consistant it is for power.

1st_shooter Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Very nice indeed although im not sure on the colour of the flashhider, but at least you get one with this model. You seem to be the only person on the planet with one of these, i hope your going to do a proper review! Any ideas on the actual FPS? can this be adjusted? How many shots did you fire at the target? any complete misses? But i would expect far better accuracy for around 30m! Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Aye, id like one of these for a wall hanger LOL. but im not paying 500quid to zero one for one ;-) Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I'd stick a silencer on it, I bet a foam filled one will make it deadly quiet. Link to post Share on other sites

Ksk Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 got it from zero one 500 quid <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi here is the Sling real AI £42 Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 500 quid = $1,014 Didn't Star's website say "recommended price $645"? Link to post Share on other sites
Libris Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 500 quid = $1,014 Didn't Star's website say "recommended price $645"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It does but we have a quaint habit here in the UK of getting shafted with tax; in this case VAT which accounts for 14.9% of retail price, in this case about $150.00. I've bought quite a lot from Z1 and they are normally very competitive except this time they don't need to compete with anybody. Link to post Share on other sites
camilion705 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Thanks for the first hand opinion aswaffield. Very helpful, from what you have said, this looks to be quite a rifle. Link to post Share on other sites

Beyond that, the RRP is exactly that. It's the price that a manufacturer recommends an item is sold for. That takes local taxes and profit margins into account already. Geez, guys. Try and think back to what Z1 did when the Star L85 came out. Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 A question for any owners - do you think you could drill, tap and die the bottom of the mag? Is it so that the outer metal of the mag is also the metal wall for the gas chamber or is there a seperate gas chamber inside the mag? I am asking this to know if this rifle could be made to shoot on HPA or CO2 with tap and die system! Any field action with this baby already? Bjorn Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Is there really any need for HPA with a sniper rifle? It's not like you should be shooting fast enough to cause cool-down, is it? Beyond that, you're going to be spending a lot of time prone and a hose hanging out the bottom of the mag is going to be a PITA in that position IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ever thought of the fact that some people like to play with their beauties in the winter time when there are no leaves on trees and you can perfectly use snow camo etc. Bjorn Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 True enough, I guess. Still gonna make the gun clumsy to use prone thouugh. Link to post Share on other sites
