Kevin Wardle 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hi. Just a quick intro. I'm from Tyne & Wear as per the title. I'm feeling the shooting bug after an absence of 40 years. Yes I was 13 years old the last time I held an air rifle. I've quietly scoured the web, YouTube and online shops for the last 2 months to get upto speed with the air rifle world of today. My fingers (and wallet) are pointing towards a TX200HC in .177. Any thoughts on this choice. As I have nothing, are there any good combo deals around. I.e. Rifle, scopes and slip case. Regards, Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Wardle 0 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Budget wise, I would like to keep it around the £500 mark. That's not rigid but would prefer to be around that price. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Wardle 0 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hi Rookie Hunter. Where do you go shooting? The only places I can find are Thorn Dell HFT at Bishop Middleham and Bob Dunkleys wood view farm in Elwick. Both look good but something a little closer would be nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
