Good Deal ?

[Lloyd90 509]

As some of you may have read I've been looking for a springer air rifle recently

 

Been to the local RFD today and he has a second hand AA pro sport in 177 with a Hawke parorama scope 4-12x40 with mil dot ret for £435

 

Quite tempted, as I know the rifle alone new is £570 some places. Also question - how do I tell difference between beach or walnut stock ? He said it was walnut

Walnuts darker out the two isn't it?

Are you fussed for the walnut stock? It sounds about right for walnut, but the beech ones can be had much cheaper.

 

The Cs walnut stocks look quite light to me, I think it all depends on the particular bit of wood they use and how it's treated

[Lloyd90 509]

It looked quite dark altho I'm not massively fussed!

 

What do you think of the rifle and scope deal for £435 ?

[forest of dean redneck 12,022]

Your always going to pay more than buying privately but i was led to believe there's not many on the second hand market,you tried haggling?

Sounds a bargain to me.

[Lloyd90 509]

You got too much £££ mate lol

[Rez 4,961]

Ha. I assure you I haven't. I suppose I know that the PS is worth that if not more. Paid about 450 for mine and that was just the rifle, in beech, and it was still worth every penny.

[Lloyd90 509]

I meant Bigmac not you Rez lol!

 

Lovely rifle indeed

Cheers Loyd90 they are a top class rifle

 

and im skint by the way lol

 

Im with rez on this it is worth the money

 

my first one was a 22 the rfd orderd a beech stock one it came in a box marked beech but was a walnut stock the lad did not want it so i got it for a beech stock price £400

 

the second one was for a lad who took it away and never put a lellet in it as he got a new job witch sent him away from home so i got that one to £400

 

the third was a beech second hand same rfd and in 177 got that one for £350

 

the forth was another beech and in 177 got that for i think it was £350

 

all just rifle,s only no scopes

 

and iv got the 5th on its way lol

 

go for it loyd you will not regret it

 

atvbmac :thumbs:

 

just an after thought but if you do go for it ask for a free tin of pellets of your choice

 

Its a tenner less that you will have to spend

[charlie caller 3,654]

Your gentle negotiation would go like this, "I have £400 quid cash in my pocket,throw in a tin of AA field pellets, and you have a sale" as you mention the £400 quid, produce it in front of him and let his eyes feast on it, good luck

[Lloyd90 509]

He refused £400 but I had the rifle, a slip that was marked up for £35, tin of pellets and box of targets for £450 so I walked away happy

[forest of dean redneck 12,022]

You get the scope with it?
