.177 break barrel recomendations please.

[Edgar 1]

Hi all,

One day, when I have some money (could be a while!)I want to buy a .177 springer, I want to try .177 to see how it compares to my .22. I want a break barrel because they are nice and simple and I don't want it to be to heavy, not more than say 8lbs. What would you recommend?

P.S not fussed how much I spend. Also needs to be around 11 ft/lbs and accurate.

Thats a simple answer pal

 

Weihrauch HW95K

 

Light, quiet, deadly accurate and will push out 11.2 to 11.9 easily with the right pellets.

Not sure of power but I think its around 11 or 12 and I am looking at them for when I save up too.

BSA Lightning or Lightning XL

hw's are good.

try gamo shadow cheap but bleeding good money,webley's are not too bad but i have a perverted obession with the old vulcan who needs a multi shot when you can lock and load a good old b/barrel so quickly.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have thought about the HW95, really like the look of them and have a Weihrauch now so I know how good they are, but do the standard HW95s come with open sights? I like to have the option of open sights, gives me something to do while I save up for a scope! BSA guns always seem a bit small for me, am 6' 3" tried a friends once but it didn't feel right to me. I had a Webley Xocet as my first air rifle and it had a wobby barrel, wasn't impressed (Birmingham made too) put me off Webleys. What about the HW99? Does anyone use one? Anyway keep the suggestions coming everyone.
