Well today I had the chance to test my new Canebrake out. Shooting at just 10yds (30ft) for now. Standing unsupported and then some supported. I am more than happy with this air rifle. Compared to any other replica air rifle I have tries or owned, this is the best feeling one. It is heavy (slightly heavier than the real thing) and just feels so right. I adjusted the fully adjustable steel foresight and rear sight after a few shots (but I will be putting a small scope or red dot on it) and this thing is quite accurate. In fact it is very accurate but more on that in a minute. Power is high, I would gestimate at about 650-700 fps. It ripped through a bean tin like it was a piece of paper. In and out the back like butter. I love good penetration. I was using H&N Excite Plinking pellets @ 7.2gn. Although I have some spare 88g co2's I decided to do the test using the Walther 2x12g co2 adaptor, which incidentally fits perfect. And using two carts with both co2's pierced cleanly (another bonus of the well made Walther co2 adaptor) I managed a total of 3 magazines of 30 rounds before the power started trailing off. So that is 90 shots at high power. I am happy with that. I reckon the 88g co2's will last up to approx 220-280 shots. Accuracy is great. Really happy with it. The right splatterburst target was shot free standing unsupported with 30 rounds fast firing (whole magazine) and then the left target was shot using 10 rounds at 10yds supported with the SIG rested on a bean bag for steadiness. And I think anyone would be happy with that result. The standard bean tin was easily shredded. I have some bits on order for this absolute beauty. Can't wait to customize it to my liking.

Great post with really sexy photos. Proper gun porn! That can took a right battering. I wouldn’t want to be on the wrong end of that Rattler. Looks like a rifle begging to be outfitted with all kinds of snazzy dots, scopes and night vision. Bloody cracking!

Looks good Andy, seems to be putting out about the same as my Winchester shell loading rifle. I can't wait to see wait attachments you put on it, I'm guessing a nice sling, fore grip, red dot and or a 3x scope.

I think I chrono'd my Winny at about 550 fps with pellets, faster with bb's. This more on par with my Walther Winchester in power which I tested at approx 670fps. I reckon this Sig will be well above 720-750fps in the summer on a hot day. And even more with a light alloy pellet. It just feels powerful and solid. The build quality is fantastic (on the outside). I need a SIG pellet pistol to go with it now. Roll on the Northern Shooting Show.

The Canebrake seems to be the Goldilocks of the Sig Sauer rifles compared to the MCX, which seems to have less power but potentially more accuracy, and the MPX, being possibly less accurate than either. Well I’ll soon find out as I’m ordering a Canebrake today when the shops open. MCX: Groupings are 1” tight at 15 yards. Good enough for me. MPX: It’s not as hot on longer range accuracy as the MCX but who cares when it deals out so much close up fun I cant remember the distance-to-dinosaur - I was having too much fun doing a Tackleberry around my garden.

I did like that one but I think this is the perfect excuse to get an X5.

I might have to put my moderators hat on soon as this trolling is getting bad. And Mark, you must love FDE because your avatar is the same colour. Poop as you say.
