Best Air Riffle

[stevo79 569]

Hi everyone not posted on here before.

I'm looking for some advice I breed poultry and I'm getting plagued with rooks and magpies eating eggs and feed. I want to get a air rifle and I don't want to spend no more than £150 or a tad higher. Been on a few sites and there's loads, so I'm not sure what's good or bad

Any advice would be gratefull

Cheers

Welcome...im going to say it but the the stoeger x20 suppressor is ok for the Money about 160 new or the SMK XS19 .177 is an awesome cheap rifle. I've used one to take pest birds out of trees. I'm sure someone will say I'm wrong but 99-120 for a brand new xs19 full power rifle. It gets the done.

You might get a 2nd hand hw99s for that kind of money

id agree with jonnie b should get a second hand 99 for that money, HW air arms or older brum webley all the way over the new options for the same money.

Second hand hw anything, 35, , 77 99 etc would be a much better choice mate, quality is never a poor investment.

Any of the above will do mate

"Slow Down" Stevo,

Mate no disrespect to any post, but with that budget of £150 you will invite good air rifles "with age and use" or cheap excuses.

Save another £150 to make it £300 and its a completely different ball game, (buy cheap buy twice).

My advice is look at no other than HW, A Arms. at a higher budget.

A 10 year old BMW will not be as good as a 2 year old one "ever"

HW77, will rival most other rifles in the right hands, and about your budget

Id prefer a 10 year old bimmer any day. A E30 M3 mmmmmm but that's another story

[stevo79 569]

To be honest I'm not going to be using it too much so I won't be spending £300 on one. I'm sure you can get a lovely gun for that but il start off with something cheaper, and if I get the bugg then maybe i will pay that. You don't tell someone who's just passed there driving test to go out and buy a Ferrari do you. Lol?

If you buy a hw77 obviously in .177 you will not need another rifle, bitten by the bug or not, they are the business, save another 50 quid, and you will get a very nice rifle.
