look at the hw80 with a bit of kit 300 should get you a good example.

I've got the HW57 really nice gun, but the HW35 is also a good buy!

[matt_hooks 188]

For £300, if you shop around and bargain hard, you should be able to pick up a reasonable entry level PCP, with a bottle. Cheap as chips to refill (a bottle refill is less than a fiver and lasts for meny rifle refills) and the complete lack of recoil makes shooting accurately a doddle.

 

If it's definitely GOT to be a springer, a Theoben Fenman is a good choice, or one of the many Weirachs that are about (but everyone has a Weirach these days!)

The weight of the rifle is 8.6lbs

 

But I dont think your enquiring about that so I'll hazzard a guess that you want to know the ME (Muzzle Energy)

 

So the ME is not too far short of 11to12 ft/lbs

[staffs riffraff 1,068]

no you wont get this piss ripped on this part of forum this is the best one out of them happy hunting dont be afraid to ask any questions some good guys on here

[Phantom 631]

Thats correct

Apart from a few that sneak in to try to stir thing up a little, were here to answer questions.

 

Don't be afraid to ask anything. its how we learn stuff and it helps those who are a little shy about asking.

 

Even us experianced regulars on here wind up asking somethings, helps refresh our memory and someone will have another answer that may be of use to people or even puts things across in a way that just 'clicks' in a way that will be understood more easily than the way someone else says the same thing using different words if yah get what I mean.

 

Ask away

 

Oh and :welcomeani: to the forum

Definitely look at the HW95K, or even an HW99S.

 

BSA Lightning is a decent rifle too, although for my money, the Weihrauchs are better build quality.

 

If you can stretch to it a Fenman, as has already been said is a great rifle. That's discontinued now, so you'll be limited to a second hand one- which means it should fall into your price range.

 

But I don't honestly think many people will disagree that the HW95K should be your starting point.

 

*edited to add*

 

Also, have a look at the Gamo Hunter. As I understand, they're a decent enough rifle for not a lot of money.

it depends what your shooting mate 177 for feather less trajectory, 22 for rabbit and rats but each to there own i guess good luck with your choice but as said weirauch cant go far wrong very reliable and sturdy guns.
