aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 s400 welll within his price range. excellent handling, accurate and very good value for money. although i may be a little biased Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The S400 is a PCP, not a break barrel. I'm not aware of any of the standard break barrels in the UK that retail that high brand new. £400 buys you a whole lot of gun! Maybe one of the Weirach's with some serious tuning might get there, but only just! Quote Link to post

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi RS1 The HW98 is worth a look, great rifle, and very accurate. One for him to think about maybe Bill. Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Have a look at the HW90 and Air Arms Prosport. Best break barrels you can buy IMO. Edit.... The 98's a top gun too but it's little more than a tarted up 95 which is a good bit less cash... Edited September 10, 2010 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 For a bit more money you could get your self a HW97K, or even pick one up second hand for the money you already have Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I would seriously ask him to take a look at the following rifles buddy. Some are not break barrels and are under levers but still are brilliant rifles: Weihrauch HW97K / HW97KT (under levers) Air Arms Pro Sport (under stock lever) Air Arms TX200 mark 3 HC (under lever) Weihrauch HW90K Weihrauch HW95K Si Quote Link to post
