Air Gun For Beginner

[Username1 0]

Hey there,

I'm looking to buy an airgun but don't really know what to look for, i'm looking for under £200 and spring not CO2, i found the Gamo Vipermax and quite like it so would you say that's suitable for someone with a basic knowledge airguns. I have used airguns for about 5 hours so know the basics but i'm looking to start shooting more often, what would you give as a recommendation for myself?

Kind Regards,

Calum Bruce

Can pick up a older weirauch with a scope for just under £200 that would be my choice, shop around and don't buy te first thing you see

Lewis has given the best bit if advise, don't buy the first thing you see, and have a think to yourself and if you really want something try and stretch your budget as much as you can. You will be far more happy for it in the long run.

if you be patient there's some proper bargains to be had. you'd be far better off with a second hand weirauch gun than a brand new gamo. try and get to a club and have a go with other peoples set ups to get an idea of what suits you best. its so easy to go out and buy the first gun you see and end up regretting what you bought. by then its too late.

Agreed with everyone else, get a decent second hand rifle. Youll only kick your self when you shoot a decent rifle. (Airarms or weirauch)

My son started of with a HW 95 it had a gas ram , it was superb. Very accurate , very little recoil and not too heavy. I enjoyed using it myself when he wasn't around. :-)
