what break barrel

[secretagentmole 1,701]

I know Tony, which is why when we found that the springer we had gone to buy for Mary was a right handed stock, not an ambi (as described by the seller), it wound up being mine, which is why I have an Air Arms (yes even Mole now has an Air Arms) TX200, mark one rifle. You need a springer to actually keep your rifle handling skills up I think!

the bam xs 19 is it accuracy as my freind just got a sports marketing xtb ?? and it shoots all over the place we have been trying all day to get to shot to a 10p coin

The Bam's are the ones sold over in the states, as are Westlake.

The early chinese were notorious for being crap, I once saw a pic of the muzzle of one of the early ones the bore was about 3mm off centre!!

 

Modern chinese ones are now far superior to what they once were.

Bit like the early Japanese stuff, known as 'Jap Crap' now look at the quality they put out.

so you think the best bb to go for is a smk 19 i will be shoting around 30 40yrds the gun shop by me can do me one for 150 with scope and silence but i wont some think with good accuracy at that range

[Phantom 631]

I woudn't say they are the very best for the money, (especially if its an earlier version) have a look at the Edgar Brothers range etc.

You may even find a decent 2nd hand springer in the sales section here thats already been run in.

I love mine to bits and I used to get very good results with it.

 

If you do go for a chinese rifle register here http://ukchineseairgunforum.myfreeforum.org/index.php you will be suprised how many of the names you will recognise from here. They are a wealth of information about virtually every chinese rifle ever made

what about gamo cf-30 22 for 130

The Edgar Brothers is a good rifle for the money, however if you look around you can pick up a secondhand HW95, which is a superb rifle!

I am looking they are all to far. do you think i could pick a pcp for 200. so what bb names should i be looking for in order

[Phantom 631]

If you can find the HW95 for that price, go for it As Mike say's a truely Superb Rifle

 

Edgar Brothers are decent, but the trigger is heavier than the XS19 and a little bit rough as well, but after a while it smooths out somewhat.

 

I've not used the Gamo that you mention, so can't really comment on that one.

[clifford 11 0]

as i wont face to face buy not posted

[secretagentmole 1,701]

Look for the 60 or the 55 over the SMK, they are identical, repeat, identical, to the Webley Stingray mark 2, only with a better safety catch than the Webley, trust me!

Keep looking for an HW95, google it, then select pages under a month old and pages from the UK only, you should find one in your price range.

If not, go for the Hatsan!
