1St Air Rifle ?

[sussex 5,777]

A friend of mine has decided ( wisely ) to get his boy ( & him I think ) an air rifle. A spring model....What do you recommend ....I know very little about air rifles but thought something along the lines of a Weihrauch hw50 as a starting gun ....he has about £300 to spend but this ideally would include a scope ... new or s/hand whats your thought ...many thanks

[sussex 5,777]

Hugo he's 12 average build .thanks

[hugo1 31]

would go for something like hw 35 you cant go far wrong with any hw

Hw95 might be a bit big at first but he will grow into it and never need another gun

Or a hw99s

[sussex 5,777]

What sort of money should they make ? thanks

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

brand new round my end about 220-230 for 99s and 300 for 95k with silencer. but you should find second hand bargain mate if poss

[gurnster75 21]

The 99s is available around the £200 mark new, its full power but lightweight. I would also recommend the xs19 or xs20, yes they're chinese but they're a good copy of the HW options and respond well to a strip and lube.

Go for the hw99s...lightweight springer or the HW57 lighteight underlever

Marksman on here has a hw95k with scope .22 for sale. You should give him a pm cracking guns

I've a friend who's selling a BSA Supersport for £150, or £175 with case, that's like new its had less than 500 pellets through it and the wood and gun is just like new. It's a brilliant, accurate and light gun, i know this because i tested it last week and im the only person who has use it. Private message me if your interested anyone.
