Str 793 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I am after an air rifle to shoot rabbits,I would like something light & accurate preferably pre charge,pump,c02, it doesn’t have to be any thing fancy,over the years I’ve had hw80 hw77, sharp inova,s400 all sorts really,the last one was a hw80 but it was two heavy, I’ve been looking but I am abit rusty with air rifles so any advice would be welcome,cheers.

mark williams 7,549 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Buy cheap, " buy twice", raise the bar some STR, it will definitely benefit you to do so. Good luck with your choices, although an eighty or 77 takes a lot of bettering. atb Mark. 1 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,979 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 BSA ultra.177 fits the bill. This gun will match any top price PCP pellet for pellet These guns are even better with a tune and reg but great even with out 4 1 Quote Link to post
Str 793 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 There are good guns mark but I find they can spoil a walk round because of there bulk,I preferred the hw77 to the hw80 .cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

Or just buy a scorpion t10 the ultras big sister much under rated rifle to but just as good and with a better shot count by far atvbjimmy 1 1 Quote Link to post

If the OP is after a CHEAP rabbit rifle I would suggest it essential he avoids early Ultras! 1 1 1 Quote Link to post

big napper 3,559 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 There is a falcon fn19 in the for sale section mate, they are realy good pcp's, its for £180 or £160 single shot but you can get multishot adapters for them, for what it is mate its a very cheap gun 2 Quote Link to post
Str 793 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Is there any modern pump air rifles that are worth a look? I had a sharp inova years ago which was light accurate but not very reliable if you tweaked the power. Quote Link to post
big napper 3,559 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I used one a mate had years ago and what a ball aker it was, id say a springer would be better than a pump, id stick with your 1st thaught and get a pcp mate i think a shit pcp would still be better than a pump up. Unles theyv improved since i last used one 1 Quote Link to post

You must have had the only one that worked, it was pants, that's why so much of it got changed! In fairness, I understand the newer version is a very different beast, but I have no experience of it!
