yup, gonna go to a place with a big garden to practice when I next get a chance. Any reccomendations for household/ easy/cheap to obtain items I can use for a backstop for my targets?

Picked up a TX200 and scope today from one of the advertisements in the classified section of THL! Now just to find a permission to shoot on! Don't suppose anyone owns any land around London full of dem pesky wabbits? I'm happy to be interviewed spanish inquisition style in order for the level of my responsibility and respect of your land to be ascertained.

could I please have the same information? I have PM'd you my address.

So from a bit of reading around a forum lurking it is my understanding that in order of best to worst it is: TX200>HW95>HW99 ? What's all this buisness of putting K's and S's on the end of the Weihrauch model numbers? Something to do with silencers?

Thanks guys. Got my driving test in a few weeks so hopefully i'll pass and be able to borrow the car to go and pick something nice up second hand. No one seems to be selling anything in London!

Thanks Pianoman, solid advice. I will scrap the thought of buying one 1st hand and keep looking on gunstar and guntrader. When buying a second hand rifle are there any particular questions I should ask or things to be looking for? Or is it pretty obvious by looking whether the rifle is in bad shape?

What model Weirauch should I be looking for under £200? I've read that the HW99 is good, any others? Also, i'm from London and all of these sales seem to be 100's of miles away so I'll have to factor petrol into the cost of buying anything. I'm a bit hesitant to hand over £200 over the internet with no guarantee of postage other than a strangers word, so would rather buy something face to face.

So choosing a gun is all about how accurate it is? Does anyone know how the Webley Rebel compares to the rifles I've listed in terms of accuracy? Surely by now we've reached a point where air rifles are about as accurate as they can be? What factors do you guys use to choose between two airguns of equal accuracy?

Had a look at the Webley Rebel and am not to keen on it. It looks a bit plasticy from the pictures, also it only has 10ft/lbs power, i'd like to get as close to 12 as possible. It is pretty cheap (£100), but I would rather pay a bit more to get a bit more quality. Is there any reason in particular you recommended giving it a look?

Hi, So i'm looking for a rifle as close to the legal limit as possible with the goal of shooting rabbit, squirrel, wood pigeon etc. I've read a lot about the whole .177 vs .22 debate and am not too concerned about what caliber rifle I get as it will be my first and so I won't know what I'm missing. I'm more concerned that the rifle be well built, accurate, reliable and powerful. My budget is £150-£200, I've made a list of rifles I've found looking around online I think are suitable. If anyone could tell me if any of them are far better/worse than any of the others or if there are bett

Hi, First of all happy new year! Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm from a pretty metropolitan part of London and have never done any shooting before but it's an idea i've always entertained. Recently got permission to shoot on some land about 3 hours drive from me (is that relatively far to travel?). I'm looking to get a air rifle as close to the legal limit as possible and start shooting some rabbits, squirrel, wood pigeon and anything else legal and edible. Depending how that goes I may look at getting a FAC and going for something a bit bigger.
