you will struggle to get a setup for £200 mate, but a good springer will do you ....any of the weihrauch range are good, you can get a nice hw95k for that price maybe a nice setup from someone too with a scope....wont be a brilliant scope for that money but there good rifles and can always tune them at a later date, then you have the bsa lightning/lightning xl.... im naming lighter rifles here...if i had to have a springer for hunting id go for a hw97k or a silenced tx200hc....but there abit heavier being underlevers.also what calibre are you going for? with a springer .22 beech stocked rifles have less recoil than a .177

If it's a PCP, then there is only one IMHO, Air Arms S200 . It would be second hand for that sort of money, there's been a couple for sale on here lately for about the £200 mark. They are light, accurate and so easy to use. Single shot as per standard, which I prefer, or look for one that has been converted to 10 shot, or buy the kit (about £65) and do the job yourself.

The S200 for me is the best all round PCP for the money..............Al

bsa tactical bud

very light and has the power to take out your intended targets

If you go for a BSA Lightning just go for the standard not Deluxe/XL as your just getting into it you won't need/use walnut effect beech stock or two stage adjustable trigger just a waste of money.
