which gun

[crooky 26]

hello, i'm looking to get a new air rifle but i'm undecided on whats best. i currently have a hw77, but i'm feeling the need to go pcp. my mate has an AA s200 .22 which i use quite a bit, and it seems fine. i'm just wondering on peoples views, i'm looking to spend about £400 ish. any ideas? cheers.

The AA s200 is indeed a fine piece of kit, for £400 you would get a decent 2nd user one as well as pump, and decent scope. I use one myself in .22

Iv got the AAs410 .22 k and HW 100k T .177, both good rifles but the hw100 kt is £250 more than the s410.

The s410 is very accurate and consitant, it will take 200bar but i only fill to 190bar as it has a real sweet spot after the first 10 shots, 576 fps with AA fields and it sergically accurate. A good buy at £500 and well worth finding the extra 100 notes to buy one. Go for the .177 rather than the .22. I use bisley magnum 10'6 grains in my hw100kt 177 and there very accurate and do the job very nicely on the bunnys. Shot placement over cal every time.

AA s400, within budget & better than s200

BSA Scorpion

All above below £400 if you shop around.

I picked up a mint 410c last summer with a 12l bottle and all the gear for £450.

 

Can't recomend one highly enough.

 

Good luck, mate.

 

Cheers.

If you shop around pal you will pick up a great deal for £400 I promise you.

 

I don’t want to say which rifle is best as that would be wrong of me and it would only be my personal view and would probably upset some of my friends on here, but what I will say is that any rifle made by the popular companies will be more accurate than you will be able to shoot buddy if you match it with the correct pellet.

 

I personally own BSA and Weihrauch pre charged rifles which I find exceptional, but also along the same lines I own an Air Arms springer that I am starting to shoot nearly as accurate as my PCPs proving the great quality of what is out there on offer.

 

I wish you all the best with your search buddy
