Have a look in the for sale section mate.

If you see a one you like the look of contact the seller and hopefully they'll be close enough for you to go down and try it.

As hard as it's going to be with it being your first rifle and you "really want one" don't just jump at the first one you see because it's cheap, keep shopping about and trying as many as you can till you find the right rifle for YOU. They vary greatly in weight, length, style etc so unless you try them you wont know if oyure going to like it

 

Good luck mate

Hi

 

I live in the Edinburgh area and will be home on Wed this week.

I have a minted Webley Eclipse which I have decided to sell.

Comes with a bag and a Nikko Sterling Gold Crown 6x42.

If you are interested PM me. I can deliver to the Toon.

This is a full sized underlever,, not being funny ,but how old are you and would you want a youth sized rifle?

i had a supersport for my first rifle and it was great. light weight and easy to use. im guessing from the pic that you might be a bit small for a bigger rifle like a hw80 but once youre big enough then i suggest moving on to one theyre excellent as are all the hw's. the lightening's are fairly good from what i gather although i have heard of a few breaking. i think there was a bsa underlever on here or another forum for 120. thats running at 11.5 would be a great first rifle. think it was a superstar but dont quote me. itll be either on here, pigeonwatch or airgunforum. good luck nip

how old are you mate? im 14 and most of the HW range are very good. although you may find some of their rifles a bit heavy. hw90's are good rifles. you should be able to pick up a second hand one for a bit past your budget.

edit: i have had a bsa lightning xl and for all there glory they are not actually as good as hw's. the may look more 'gunny' than some of the hw underlevers but hw's are much better.

Hiya buddy,

I would recommend a HW95k, good accuracy and light enough for a young lad to use. ATB

yeah you'll be able to handle the HW rifles with ease. i think people over react about how heavy they are. get searching airgunbbs forum, pigeonwatch forum, THIS ONE!, guntrader and you'll soon find a nice s/h hw. although i think you may need to push your budget up to £200.

this is a good deal for a good gun:

I may have read your above post a bit wrong buddy but you didnt say the model of the webley? Webley make good guns. Either way like the others said, dont rush in too quick, we will have you up and running in no time, nobody here is going to scam you or give you crappy information, so stick with it and you will be shooting in no time!!!
