First Rifle for Hunting

[Deker 3,478]

I'm looking at getting my first rifle for hunting rabbits mainly (as above) all I know is that a .22 is probably what would be the best.

What would be the best rifle within a range of say below £100???

 

Thanks

This is difficult and along the lines that others have said already........

 

...it cannot be done for under £100 for a new gun, you must have some respect when you shoot at live targets..this means consistancy and accuracy!!!!!

 

Possibly consider a used gun, but in honesty I would have to say save up some more money, it will be a good investment in the long term!

its all opinion and to say a smk is a clone of a hw95 is insanity whether you have 34 years experience or not, i have had experience with some of the smk range the latest was a purchase a friend made brand new from shop tacky poorly built rubbish, i have grouped better with a catapult at 50 yards. also why buy a rifle that needs modding ? if you are going to buy cheap and mod id still buy the meteor and buy a gas ram from BAR.

A gas ram in a Meteor!

The lad's on a budget & a gas ram on it's own costs nearly £60 plus delivery, even if they were in stock (which they're not)

Not the best tailored advice I've heard this week.

The SMK XS20 is a copy of the HW95k no question. I stress it's a copy, not the quality of the genuine article, but more than serviceable.

A decent spring, a little fettling & lube & out pops a good'un on a budget.

The Walther scopes on it work passable well for £35.

The sport is pursued on many levels with budgets to match.

 

Great Informative post that one stevie Thanks
