Jonnyb6161 80 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Has anybody got any suggestions? I've never fired one so I don't want to spend a fortune. I'm thinking maybe HW99 or Walther Terrus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,158 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 What do you define as cheap? Hw35 is good gun cant remember who on here but someone was having fun with a hatsan 900x as a stop gap gun their under £150 new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmad riley 1,329 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Not a break barrel. But HW57 is a very good gun had mine years and love it you can get them for under £150. It is the smaller version of the HW77. It drops rabbits pigeon crows magpie phesants rats easy enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,342 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hatsan 60s , bsa lightening , hw99s and bsa meteor are cheap and all are ok to shoot and hunt with ... there’s more just these are ones I’ve shot with .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonnyb6161 80 Posted December 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Cheers guys, I was looking at BSAs and other HWs and it is 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other. I've already got a Walther PCP and an HW97kt so I want to have a good Break Barrel to add to the collection and let's face it, you can never have too many guns.

Always good to have a decent springer.........as a back up gun, if nothing else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously have a reasonable knowledge of air guns, so get an hw80 as bsa are now just a cheap Spanish gun a bit like sticking a Range Rover badge on a cheap rubbish ysangyong from India if you want a cheap foreign make buy one that's not hiding behind a decent badge as there are some ok ones out there for ok money, but they will never be an hw80 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,342 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hw80 are not cheap though and the op asked for cheap air rifle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 24,901 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Rather pay a £150for a second hand hw than a new bsa that's really just a badged up cheap Spanish rifle, just a personal thing I,m sure there are a few smk,s and hat sans that are quite useful for the money but bsa is not the Birmingham small arms company they once were and there guns don't deserve the price tag or give the quality they once did, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonnyb6161 80 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Thanks guys. I looked at the HW80 but it's a bit more than I wanted to spend. I wasn't aware of BSA quality issues but I've tried their PCPs and they were awesome. I was thinking of the HW99s because if it is any good, it might be a good candidate for good tune up (maybe Sandwell Field Sports). Add that to the cost of a high end HW and we're talking good quality PCP money. I've bought from Redbeck before( both my other rifles). Do they let you try them out before buying?
