Need Help Buying An Air Rifle..

[Jordan Stocker Palmer 1]

Hi, i'm not sure if I should be posting this here... but I need help buying an air rifle, preferably a spring rifle. I have £200 and I just need some advice on good grands and quality air guns, I was thinking of buying a Gamo Whisper IGT but I have been told that gamo isn't a very good quality brand maker. I'd really appreciate some help, thank you.

Firstly. Alright man. Second. Good lad leaning the manual route. If I had 200 beans, and was new to the sport, but perhaps know what I know now, I'd get a 99s in twenty two being as they are just over that brand new. But, I would also look at the second hand sales. What I say next will be repeated in many other replies, but most defiantly go the HW or AA route with the spring models.

 

If you can just get that budget up to 300, you'll open up so many more options. Naturally depending on your usage of it. If your bashing the tin cans, your gamo would be fine, if you looking to get out and about on the game or more serious with it can only be HW for your budget.

 

Keep us updated.

Get your money up to £300 and your in high end of the best springers out there as Rez has say,d

 

your looking at

 

AA, pro sport 22 or 177

 

AA, tx200 , 22 or177

 

HW97 kt , 22 or177

 

hw 97 sporter , 22 or 177

 

hw,77 sporter . 22 or 177

 

these are the best you can get but for £300 will be second hand not new so take some one with you that can check them over for you

Yep, the hw99s in .22 would be my choice with that money.

 

With a bit more money Walther LGU or AA tx200.

 

HW if you don't mind a bit of internal work

Still got it just on the fence at the minute whether to trade it or sell it for a change.

 

Wanting a TXHC in twenty two I've seen, brand new, left hand dedicated, £350! There like £520 for the lefties anywhere else. It's kinda one of those things that are to good to be true, but I know it is real and new as I've held it in the shop. Will pick it up after Xmas I think.
