bunks 4 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 im going to buy a new spring gun because of the hasel of refilling the gas rams what is your opinion of the best spring guns ... Quote Link to post
zipdog 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Gas rams dont need to be refilled mate ? They are like a spring. What do you mean Quote Link to post
Freddy Watts 1 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Thats exactly what i was going to say zipdog. You don't need to refil a gas ram mate thats just the PCP's (and the CO2's i guess). It depends how much you are willing to spend on a springer mate. The best springer is kind of relative to the budget available and what you wnat to use it for. ATB Freddy Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'm after one aswell, I've got £175 to play with.. I'm willing to go Second hand :yes Best for my Pricerange? I was thinking Lightning Xl? Butch Quote Link to post
Freddy Watts 1 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Can't go far wrong with an XL. A mate has one and it is a very nice gun and cheap to boot. ATB Freddy Quote Link to post

Ron Weasley 83 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I think few would argue that the best spring gun ever built is the HW80, but there are loads of good ones. I have an HW95, and it's given me more than half my life's shooting. Incredibly good. BSA Lightnings are excellent too, and very affordable. That's where I'd start. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have a HW77 that I bought from a mate, he bought it in 1987, and it still whacks bunnies like it did when it was new, was going to part ex it when I bought the HW100T, but to atatched to it. Think you'll get a minter with sights and slip for £160 Quote Link to post

Edgar 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Weirauch HW35,57,77,,85,95,97,99. BSA Lightening, supersport. Air arms, TX200, Pro-sport. Havent used all of these but i know my Weirhauch is a good accurate gun. BSA range are good. Air arms springers are accurate but heavy. Try as many as you can and see what suits you best. If buying second hand look out for burred screws indicating the owner had been tampering with the gun, dont buy it if they have. If buying a second hand break-barrel check the barrel hinge is tight. Also if you can get a chance to fire it, do. Listen for loud bangs and watch for overly harsh recoil indicating the gun has been tampered with. Good luck! Quote Link to post
